Configuration
a. Navigate to the directory where your YJOS server has been installed.
b. Under the “SurvivalGame\Content\Data\DedicatedServer\Configuration” directory, you will find a configuration file, “Config.json“. Open this file, and it will look something like this:
{
“ServerName”: “Default YJOS Server”,
“ValveAntiCheat”: true,
“MaxPlayers”: 8,
“LAN”: false,
“AdvertiseServer”: true,
“ServerMOTD”: “Welcome to this default Your Journey of Survival Server!”,
“TimeSimulationEnabled”: true,
“DayLengthInMinutes”: 30,
“NightLengthInMinutes”: 15,
“AvoidExtremeCloudCoverageShifts”: true,
“AvoidRepeatingWeatherTypes”: false,
“EnableLightning”: true,
“EnableStormWindParticles”: true,
“WeatherTransitionLength”: 0.35,
“RandomWeatherVariation”: true,
“WeatherSpeed”: 1.0,
“ExtraNightBrightnessCloudCoverage”: 0.0,
“CloudsMoveWithTime”: true,
“SolarEclipsesEnabled”: true,
“NightTimeStarsIntensity”: 0.75,
“NightTimeAurorasEnabled”: false,
“EnablePassiveAI”: true,
“EnableAggressiveAI”: true,
“PassiveAISpawnCount”: 10,
“AggressiveAISpawnCount”: 4
}
Once you have configured the parameters as you desire, then go back to the main folder where the “SurvivalGameServer” executable is located, and make a shortcut to that executable.
In the executable shortcut’s properties, add this line to the end of the shortcut’s target: -log -port=xxxxx (replacing the x’s with a usable port number up to 5 digits).
