How to Change the PvP Settings on a VEIN Server

VEIN servers can allow or stop damage between players, for a cooperative or competitive server. PvP is one of the gameplay settings in the server's Engine.ini file, along with time and damage settings.

Setting PvP in Engine.ini

1. Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co, open your VEIN server and click Stop.
2. Open the Configs tab and choose Engine.ini (gameplay console variables).
3. Find the [ConsoleVariables] line (add it if it isn't there).
4. Under it, add the PvP setting: vein.PvP=1 turns PvP on, vein.PvP=0 turns it off. If there's already a vein.PvP line, change that one instead of adding a second.
5. Click Save, then Start at the top of the page.

PvP is on by default. Damage to other players' bases is a separate setting, vein.BuildObjectPvP (1 on, 0 off).

Changing it in the game

Admins can also switch PvP while the server runs: press \ to open the admin menu and go to Config. See How to make yourself an admin on your VEIN server. To keep the setting after restarts, set it in Engine.ini as above.
