Return to Moria Server Config: MoriaServerConfig.ini Explained

Almost every option for your Return to Moria server lives in one file: MoriaServerConfig.ini. This guide shows you where to find it and explains what each setting does, from your world name and password to performance options.

Step 1: Open The Config File

1. Log into your MintServers panel, select your Return to Moria server, and click Stop.
2. Open the Files tab in the left-hand sidebar.
3. In your main server directory, click MoriaServerConfig.ini to open the text editor.

If you do not see the file, start your server once and stop it again. The game creates the config file the first time it launches.

Step 2: Understand The Settings

The file is split into sections. Here are the ones you will use most.

[Main]

• OptionalPassword - The password players must enter to join. Leave it empty for a public server.

[World]

• Name - The name of your world. This is also what players see when they join. If a world with this name already exists it is loaded, otherwise a brand new world is created.
• OptionalWorldFilename - Loads a specific save file. Only needed if you have two worlds with the same name.

[World.Create]

These settings are only used when a new world is created. Changing them does not alter a world that already exists.

• Type - campaign or sandbox.
• Seed - random, or a number if you want to reuse a specific map layout.
• Difficulty.Preset - story, solo, normal, hard or custom. See Change Difficulty for the full breakdown.

[Host]

• ListenPort and AdvertiseAddress - Network settings for the server. Your MintServers port is assigned for you, so leave these as they are.

[Performance]

• ServerFPS - The server tick rate. 60 is recommended. If your server is using too much CPU, try 30.
• LoadedAreaLimit - How many areas the server keeps loaded at once. Accepts a value from 4 to 32 and defaults to 12. Higher values increase memory, CPU and bandwidth use, so only raise it if you need to.

Example Configuration

Here is a simple example with a password, a custom world name and a hard campaign world:

[Main]
OptionalPassword=MySecretPassword

[World]
Name="My Moria World"

[World.Create]
Type=campaign
Seed=random
Difficulty.Preset=hard

[Performance]
ServerFPS=60
LoadedAreaLimit=12

Once you have made your changes, click the Save Content button at the top right of the editor, then go back to the Console tab and click Start.

Creating a New World

To start a fresh world, change the Name value under [World] to something new. The server will not find a world with that name, so it will create one using your [World.Create] settings. Your previous world is not affected. To return to it later, simply set Name back to the old name.

Other Server Files

Two more files in the same folder control player access and your welcome message:

• MoriaServerPermissions.txt - See Player Permissions.
• MoriaServerRules.txt - See Welcome Message (MOTD).

That covers the settings most servers need. If your config is giving you trouble, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will gladly jump in and help you out.
