How to change your HumanitZ server name, password and slots

HumanitZ reads all of its settings from one file, GameServerSettings.ini, inside the TSSGame folder on your server.

1. Open the file

1. Stop the server in the Game Panel and wait for it to report offline. HumanitZ writes its settings on shutdown, so edits made while it runs are overwritten.
2. Open the Files tab and browse to TSSGame.
3. Open GameServerSettings.ini.

2. The host settings

3. World and difficulty settings

The same file holds the gameplay rules, including zombie numbers and behaviour, loot amounts, day length and how much damage players take. Change one thing at a time and restart, so you can tell what each value actually did.

4. Save and restart

1. Save the file.
2. Start the server and read the console for the name it registered.
3. Join once to confirm the password behaves as you expect.

5. The in game settings menu does not apply

The settings menu inside the game is for a locally hosted session. On a dedicated server it does nothing. Every change has to be made in GameServerSettings.ini with the server stopped.

If a value keeps reverting, that is the reason to check first. The second is that you edited while the server was running.
