7dtd config and settings

[PipDK 0]

So i have a ark server all fun and running well, just got a 7 days to die server too, but where is the config settings? why can i only choose the basic map?
I did try to do the FTP and seeing if i could edit the config personally but it does not change anything with that, so i am wondering how do i do any kinda server setting or config for a 7dtd server?

You can read the Lrn2FTP guide to get into the FTP and then modify the ServerSettings.xml file in the base directory (while server is stopped) to modify things.

 

The admin configuration goes in Saves/serveradmin.xml, here's a sample .xml for that:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
	 This file holds the settings for who is banned, whitelisted,
   admins and server command permissions.
   Steam ID can be found using http://steamid.co/

   STEAM ID INSTRUCTIONS:
   ===============================================================
   http://steamid.co/ instructions:
   Input the player's name in the search field. example: Kinyajuu
   If the name doesn't work, you can also use the url of their steam page.
   Also you may add/remove admins, mods, whitelist, blacklist using in game commands.
   You will want the STEAM64ID. example: 76561198021925107

	 PERMISSION LEVEL INSTRUCTIONS:
   ===============================================================
   permission level : 0-1000, a user may run any command equal to or above their permission level.
   Users not given a permission level in this file will have a default permission level of 1000!

	 COMMAND PERMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS:
   ===============================================================
   cmd : This is the command name, any command not in this list will not be usable by anyone but the server.
   permission level : 0-1000, a user may run any command equal to or above their permission level.
   Commands not specified in this file will have a default permission level of 0!

The server settings that control the admin functions are actually in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\7DaysToDie for example on my local server.

 

Changing them in installed directory doesn't seem to work as the program is not looking at that file.  I changed the serveradmin.xml file via ftp in the installed folder but it does not work since the program is looking elsewhere.  Just my two cents on what I found so far.
