Solo server settings

[Bicio]

Hello everyone, I apologize if the question is cyclical and has already been asked, but I wanted to ask you something:

When you create a game to play alone on your computer, you can change several game parameters. Will these parameters remain fixed throughout the game or can they be changed if you exit and re-enter?

ty so much :)

"We’ve simplified the experience of choosing how you want your journey to play, allowing you to simply choose a difficulty and go! For those who want to further adjust your settings, you’ll be able to do so in the Advanced Game Settings to further tweak details to your liking.

You’ll be able to return to this menu any time you want, making it easy to change settings if you decide you want to tweak things again after you start playing. Not every setting works this way, though. For instance choosing starting equipment won’t give you a new set of equipment after you’ve already… well, started, but many of the settings can be adjusted even if you’ve already started playing!

For those who want to go even deeper into perfecting your server settings, you can now get taken straight to the directory where you can edit your server files from the client itself. This is for those of you who are comfortable doing a bit of research and tinkering with the server setting text files directly. This is not advised for those who want to keep it simple and might not be for everyone, but we want to give you the tools to do it yourself if you’re inclined!"

i cant figure out how to change specific settings when im playing solo. all i can do is select 1 of the three difficulties and that is it.

EDIT: Nevermind, you just have to change it before you start the game when you select load game

[Bicio]

thanks for the information, I was worried too..from "continue" it doesn't allow you to change anything and I thought you could only change the parameters by starting a new game..It wasn't that clear at all..

There's also a few settings that aren't in the .json config file by default, and aren't changeable in the settings screen when making or editing your settings.

You can add the following settings to your ServerGameSettings.json and adjust them how you'd like.

 "BloodDrainModifier": 1.0,
  "GarlicAreaStrengthModifier": 1.0,
  "HolyAreaStrengthModifier": 1.0,
  "SilverStrengthModifier": 1.0,
  "SunDamageModifier": 1.0,
  "DismantleResourceModifier": 1.0,	
  "RepairCostModifier": 1.0,	
  "Death_DurabilityFactorLoss": 1.0,
  "Death_DurabilityLossFactorAsResources": 1.0, 

The following settings needs to be put inside the brackets for their main setting. So for example there is a setting in the json file that is "VampireStatModifiers":{}
You'd put the "MaxHealthModifier":1.0, inside the brackets of that general header in your file.

  "VampireStatModifiers": {
    "MaxHealthModifier": 1.0,
    "PhysicalPowerModifier": 1.0,
    "SpellPowerModifier": 1.0,
    "ResourcePowerModifier": 1.0,
    "DamageReceivedModifier": 1.0
  },

  "UnitStatModifiers_Global": {
    "MaxHealthModifier": 1,
    "PowerModifier": 1
  },
  "UnitStatModifiers_VBlood": {
    "MaxHealthModifier": 1,
    "PowerModifier": 1,
    "LevelIncrease": 0
  },

Heres to hoping they add the UI for these settings back to the game so it's easier on less tech savvy players. Hope this is helpful.

I know pre 1.0 you couldn't change most settings easily after loading in to the game for the first time. You had to create a new world with the modified settings, load in to finalize the settings, and then logout (or cancel the login). You could then take some files and copy/paste/move/whatever into the original server's folder to update.

The 1.0 update makes it sound like you don't have to do that anymore. If you do, you *should* be able to google how to make the changes with better instructions than I mentioned above. (figured a rough and dirty was better than nothing so you could know you're looking at the right thing)

That is correct you don't have to anymore. You can hit edit server settings on the "load game" screen. It's actually really nice tbh.

There was someone who posted that, but if you do an import rules it doesn't save correctly, you have to import the rules, change one setting, then hit save in the bottom right.
