How to change settings in Medieval Engineers

Print
  • 17

The current server settings are held in MedievalEngineers-Dedicated.cfg. Edit this main configuration file while the server is stopped; the live Sandbox.sbc save is rewritten by the game and is not the right place for normal server changes.

  1. Create a backup, then stop the server.
  2. Open Configuration Files and click Text Editor beside MedievalEngineers-Dedicated.cfg.

  3. Find the setting you need and change only the value between its opening and closing tags.
  4. Click Save & Exit, then start the server.
  5. Join once and confirm the changed behaviour before editing anything else.

Keep the XML tags, capitalisation and structure intact. For example, a survival server with third-person view enabled contains:

<GameMode>Survival</GameMode>
<Enable3rdPersonView>true</Enable3rdPersonView>

If the server does not start, restore the previous file or panel backup and check worlds/MedievalEngineersDedicated.log for the first configuration error.
