Configuring your ARK: Survival Evolved server

To configure your ARK: Survival evolved server, you must first log into the game panel and log into your server.

From there, you can go into the "Configuration Editor" and edit the GameUserSettings.ini
Scroll down to the bottom and you will see text as such:

[ServerSettings]
ShowMapPlayerLocation=True
ServerHardcore=False
ServerHardcore=False
GlobalVoiceChat=True
ProximityChat=False
NoTributeDownloads=False
AllowThirdPersonPlayer=False
AlwaysNotifyPlayerLeft=False
DontAlwaysNotifyPlayerJoined=False
ServerPVE=False
ServerCrosshair=False
ServerForceNoHUD=False
ServerPassword=MyServerPassword (Blank to have none)
DifficultyOffset=0 to 1

You will then be able to change those accordingly and restart your server and those settings should apply.
This works for V171.1 and above.
