Night of the Dead Server Setup Guide

Night of the Dead is a co-op survival game where players build, craft, and defend against hordes of zombies. This guide covers setting up and configuring your dedicated Night of the Dead server on Legion Hosting, including startup variables, server configuration, difficulty settings, game options, save management, and how to connect. For admin commands and world management, see Night of the Dead Admin Commands.

First Start in GPanel

Before configuring your server, perform an initial startup so the server downloads all required files and generates its default configuration.

  1. Log in to GPanel.
  2. Select your Night of the Dead server from the server list.
  3. Click the Start button to launch the server for the first time.
  4. Wait for the console to show that the server has fully started. The first launch will download all game files, which may take several minutes.
  5. Once the server is fully loaded and indicates it is ready for connections, Stop the server to begin configuration.
Note: The first startup may take longer than usual as the server downloads and validates game files. Do not interrupt this process.

Startup Variables

Navigate to the Startup tab in GPanel to configure fundamental server parameters.

Variable Description Default
SERVER_NAME Name displayed in the server browser Pterodactyl
SERVER_PASSWORD Password required to join (leave blank for public) blank
SERVER_ADMIN_PASSWORD Password for in-game admin access blank
SERVER_SAVEGAME Name of the save file savedgame1
DIFFICULTY Difficulty level Normal
PVP Game mode: 1 = PvE, 0 = PvP 1
QUERY_PORT Steam query port for server browser 27016
Important: Changes to startup variables require a server restart to take effect. Always stop the server before modifying these values.

Server Configuration

Night of the Dead uses a configuration file to control server settings. After the first start, the configuration file is generated at:

LF/Saved/Config/ServerSettings.ini

You can edit this file through GPanel's File Manager or via SFTP.

Server Identity Settings

[ServerSettings]
ServerName=My Legion NOTD Server
Password=

[SystemSettings]
IngameAdminPassword=YourAdminPassword
SaveName=savedgame1
DefaultMessageOfTheDay=Welcome to the server.

Server Name and Password

The ServerName under [ServerSettings] controls what appears in the in-game server browser. Set Password to require a password for entry, or leave it blank for a public server. The IngameAdminPassword under [SystemSettings] is used for in-game admin authentication.

Difficulty Settings

Night of the Dead offers several difficulty-related settings that control the survival experience. Configure these in the server settings file:

[GameSettings]
Difficulty=Normal

The difficulty is set via the DIFFICULTY GPanel startup variable or in the [GameSettings] section of the config file.

Difficulty Description
Peaceful Minimal threats, relaxed survival experience.
Easy Fewer zombies, reduced damage. Good for new players.
Normal Standard zombie counts and damage. The default balanced experience.
Hard More zombies, increased damage. For experienced players.
Survival High zombie spawns, scarcer resources.
Challenge Very high zombie threat, demanding survival mechanics.
Legend Maximum difficulty. Extreme challenge for veteran players.
Tip: You can fine-tune the experience beyond the preset difficulty by adjusting individual multipliers. For example, set Normal difficulty but increase the ZombieSpawnRate for larger hordes without increasing damage.

Game Settings

Additional gameplay settings you can configure:

The PvP/PvE game mode is controlled by the PVP startup variable or the MODSelect setting under [GameSettings/General] in the config file:

  • PVP = 1 — PvE mode (players cannot damage each other). This is the default.
  • PVP = 0 — PvP mode (players can damage each other).

The server's message of the day can be set via the SERVER_MOTD startup variable or the DefaultMessageOfTheDay setting under [SystemSettings] in the config file.

Save Management

Night of the Dead automatically saves the world state including all player-built structures, resource locations, and progression. Understanding save management helps protect your server's progress.

Save File Location

World save files are located in:

LF/Saved/SaveGames/

Backup and Restore

  1. Stop the server before backing up or restoring saves.
  2. Download the save files from the SaveGames/ directory via GPanel's File Manager or SFTP.
  3. To restore, upload the backup save files back to the same directory and restart the server.
Important: Always stop the server before modifying save files. Editing or replacing saves while the server is running can corrupt the world data.

Starting a New World

To start a fresh world:

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Rename or delete the existing save files in the SaveGames/ directory.
  3. Start the server. A new world will be generated automatically.
Tip: Rather than deleting old saves, rename the folder (e.g., SaveGames_backup_2026-02-26) so you can restore it later if needed.

How to Connect

Find your server's IP address and port on the Network tab in GPanel. Ports are randomly assigned unless you have a private IP. See How to Find Your Server IP and Port for details.

Via the In-Game Server Browser

  1. Launch Night of the Dead from Steam.
  2. From the main menu, click Multiplayer.
  3. Select Server Browser.
  4. Search for your server by name or use filters to narrow results.
  5. Click on your server and select Join. If a password is set, you will be prompted to enter it.

Via Direct Connect

From the main menu, click Multiplayer, then Direct Connect. Enter your server IP and port in the format IP:PORT using the values from GPanel and click Connect.

Server not showing? Ensure the server has been running for at least 1-2 minutes after startup. If it still does not appear, try connecting via direct IP.
