When running a server or hosted multiplayer for the first time, a file should be created Overthrow_Config.json
in your profile folder (My Documents/My Games/ArmeReforger/profile
or similar location on your server host, the same place that your save folder .db
is located). Here you can set options specific to your server. The server must be restarted for changes to take effect.
If the file is not created automatically, create one using the format shown in the example below.
occupyingFaction
Choose which faction will be the occupying faction. The faction must be configured properly in a "compatibility mod" (e.g., the RHS Compatibility mod). The occupying faction cannot be "FIA".
If left blank, the default will be used.

RHS_AFRF
(Default if RHS Compatibility mod is loaded)RHS_USAF
(Only available with RHS Compatibility mod)supportingFaction

officers
A list of player UIDs that will be automatically assigned as officers. Officers have additional permissions and abilities.
To find player UIDs, check your console.log when a player joins. You'll see a line like:
16:26:20.269 SCRIPT : Setting up player: sdjfh389-058b-4723-b035-e4ce44079f87
Copy the UID part (sdjfh389-058b-4723-b035-e4ce44079f87
) and add it to the officers array.
The officers
setting is a JSON array, which is a list of items enclosed in square brackets []
. Each player UID must be surrounded by double quotes and separated by commas.
Examples:
For no officers (empty list):
"officers": []
For one officer:
"officers": [
"00000000-7bfb-4fe6-b005-b53576550c8f"
]
For multiple officers:
"officers": [
"00000000-7bfb-4fe6-b005-b53576550c8f",
"00000000-5afb-4fd3-b001-b53786550c9a",
"00000000-3cfb-4fe2-b003-b53576550c1d"
]
Important formatting rules:
[]
to enclose the list""
,
Common mistakes to avoid:
"officers": [00000000-7bfb-4fe6-b005-b53576550c8f]
"officers": ['00000000-7bfb-4fe6-b005-b53576550c8f']
