How to configure your Dark and Light server

Dark and Light keeps its server settings in three configuration files. Use their Text Editors so you can change the exact values already in the live file.

  1. Open the service, create a backup and stop the server.
  2. Click Configuration Files. The current service provides Engine.ini, Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini.

  3. Click Text Editor beside the file you need and change only the required lines.
  4. Keep every section heading and the existing Setting=Value format, then click Save & Exit.
  5. Start the server and test the result before changing another group of settings.

Use GameUserSettings.ini for the server name, passwords and most gameplay values. The current Config Editor can offer defaults for variables it cannot read, which may replace existing values when saved, so use the Text Editor unless support specifically tells you otherwise.
