Server Configuration Options - Alderon-Games/pot-community-servers GitHub Wiki
Path of Titans offers powerful server configuration options. The following are all the available server configuration options.
Note: When you download the server files using the Update script, it will not automatically create certain files and folders, such as Game.ini and the rest of the Saved folder files. Starting the server without any additional arguments will create these files in the appropriate place even if the server doesn't start properly.
Important Note: The server must be stopped while editing server files. You must save your edits and restart your server for any edits to take effect.
To change the configuration options, you must edit your Game.ini file.
Path: Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini
Note: Each option must be on its own line or else they will not work.

You can adjust these values by adding the following: CurveOverrides=(CurveName="Global.GroupLeaderBuffStaminaRecoveryMultiplier",Values=(1.1)) and CurveOverrides=(CurveName="Global.GroupLeaderBuffSpeedMultiplier",Values=(1.05)) This uses the same format as adjusting dinosaur stats, learn how to adjust stats here. |
