Server configuration parameters

Everything you need to know about the configuration file

To configure the server, simply go to the folder where Skyrim Together is installed, then go into the config folder and open STServer.ini. Here, you can configure all the server settings.

For changes in the STServer.ini to take effect, the server needs to be shutdown, otherwise none of the changes will apply and will be overridden with the settings the server know of, when it shuts down again.

For changes while the server is running, you need to use the server console.

Alternatively, you can use the command line in the server console when you have opened the server. Use /help to display all the possible commands.

If you want to restore config defaults, simply close the server, delete STServer.ini, and start the server again.

sLogLevel

Description

This is used to configure the logger in the server console. This option currently does not work.

Options

Option	Description
info	Displays all logged information
warn	Displays warnings and critical information only
error	Displays critical information only

bConsole

Description

Determines whether the interactive console is enabled or not.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bAnnounceServer

Description

Determines whether the server shows up on the server list or not. If the server has a password, it will not show up on the server list.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bEnableMiscQuestSync

Description

(Experimental) By default, Skyrim Together syncs main quests and side quests, but not miscellaneous quests. Enabling this setting will attempt to sync misc quests as well.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

fGoldLossFactor

Description

Used to determine how much gold a player loses when they die. When set to 0, players will not lose any gold.

Options

This is a factor. It can be set to anything between 0 and 1. For example, if you want the player to lose 5% of its gold on death, set it to 0.05.

bAutoPartyJoin

Description

Join parties automatically, as long as there is only one party in the server.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bEnableItemDrops

Description

Disabling this will make it so that dropping items in the world is not synced. Dropping items has caused crashes in the past, and picking them up is often not synced anyway, so we recommend you keep it at the default, which is "off".

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bEnableXpSync

Description

Determines whether the xp sync system is enabled or not.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bSyncPlayerCalendar

Description

Syncs up all player calendars to be the same day, month, and year. This uses the date of the player with the furthest ahead date at connection.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

uTimeScale

Description

Determines how fast the time in Skyrim progresses.

Options

Can be set to a number between 0 and 1000.

bEnableDeathSystem

Description

Determines whether the Skyrim Together Reborn custom death system is enabled. This should ONLY be turned off if you know what you're doing, and if you have a suitable death mod that replaces the mechanics. Reloading old saves every time you die will cause issues.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bSyncPlayerHomes

Description

Determines whether chests in player homes are synced. Beware that long term storage is not consistent in Skyrim. By default, this option is disabled so that players can use their homes to safely dump items in their chests as a form of long term storage.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bEnablePvp

Description

Determines whether players can damage each other. Shouts on other players, like fus ro dah, also only work when this option is enabled.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bEnableGreetings

Description

In the base game, when you walk close to an NPC, they start talking to you with random dialogue. During testing, we found this to be quite annoying when dialogue sync was implemented. Therefore, we decided to disable those greetings. You can enable this again if you'd like through this setting.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

uDifficulty

Description

This sets the server side difficulty, which is enforced on all clients.

Options

Option	Description
0	Novice
1	Apprentice
2	Adept
3	Expert
4	Master
5	Legendary

bAllowMO2

Description

Sets whether the client is allowed to use mod organizer 2.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bAllowSKSE

Sets whether the client is allowed to use SKSE.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

bEnableModCheck

Description

This is the mod policy feature, as descripted in the "Features" page. To use this, you must create a Data folder in the same place as where you run SkyrimTogetherServer.exe. This Data folder must contain a file called loadorder.txt, which contains the load order that you want to enforce for all users.

Options

Can be set to true or false.

sAdminPassword

Description

Used for potential admin panels in the future. This option is currently unused.

sServerName
