Hey guys,

So I'm in a bit of a pickle for after multiple hours upon hours of searching every site I know of I'm trying to figure out how the hell I can change some of the in-game advanced settings past the Min/Max set by the game such as Block damage done by zombies and players and loot abundance above and below the 25% and 200% the game allows.

I've tried looking in the game files and save files for anything that looks editable to see what can work and even tried editing the registry values to see what crap I throw against the wall will stick and I'll be honest, I'm tired of trying to figure this out,

I just want to modify the way I play single player and I don't want to have to create a server just to edit these values,

If anyone has anyway that I can do what I'm trying to do you would be a lifesaver.

Thanks, boys.

 
I think what you need to edit is Data\Config\Xui_Menu\windows.xml.

Search for "xuiGameSettingsAdvanced" but make sure you look at all three matches because the options are referenced in three separate sections. You may need to make modifications in more than one section, IDK.

You should probably look into existing XUI modlets though. Maybe someone has already done what you want, and even if not, looking at the code will be educational.

 
alphaniner is correct on location and file from what I can see of what you want.

The menu options should start at around line 569. The blocks of options should start with General, Basic, Advanced and Multiplayer settings.

The file should be a bit easier to read than this if you use Notepad ++. As this sounds like you're newer to changing the xml files I would make a copy of it first and then try my changes. Maybe even in smaller amounts first. I know I have made mistakes changing these settings (forgetting a comma or not having the correct spacing) and had to start from scratch.

The settings you mention (block damage of zombies and players and the loot abundance) are all under xuiGameSettingsAdvanced. I mention the rest because there may be other settings you want to change. I have often changed the day/night settings, party share range (thought there should be a 250 between the 100 and 500) airdrop (added 48 between the 24 and 72) and some others

Good Luck

Thank you, all the googling has told me thing about people making Dedicated servers for SP and editing the serveroptions.xml files or by doing other strange workaround, thanks!
