#Editing config file does not change how much loot zombies drop, how many vehicles spawn etc

I also want boss zombies to spawn, but they won't. Every time I edit the config file nothing changes and the config file reverts back to how it was before. Also the config file does not appear in the server menu, even though I ran the server before.

usually this is caused by either not saving the file, a formatting error in the file or just editing the wrong thing (e.g. comments instead of the actual values)

i tried this three times now, i did not edit the comments and saved the file, and it did not do anything to the server, it is still at default settings

#

could you send the edited file?

#

if you added the GSLT to that file, do remove that first though, that's sensitive information

thin owl
#

never mind, it is still the unsaved one, as it reverts back every time i launch the server

#

so i should remove all the // symobls from this file?

# thin owl this is the right one

it looks like you might be editing the autogenerated comments instead of the actual lines (e.g. to change max vehicle amount on large maps you'd change Max_Instances_Large to Max_Instances_Large 50 or whatever you want the value to be

You also have

    {
        Vehicle_Spawn_Fuel_Min : 100,
        Vehicle_Spawn_Fuel_Max : 100,
        Vehicle_Spawn_Battery_Min : 100,
        Vehicle_Spawn_Battery_Max : 100,
        Vehicle_Spawn_Health_Min : 100,
        Vehicle_Spawn_Health_Max : 100
    }    
``` pasted under gameplay, which is probably causing a formatting error
#

and yeah, as mentioned above, lines starting with // are comments, and ones starting with // > are autogenerated comments, autogenerated comments can and will be overridden
