If you’re new to modding 7D2D setting up a live map is rather advanced and requires additional setup compared to your average mod installation, this guide operates under the assumption that you have some prior experience with modding and configuration files.

2. Extract the downloaded files.
3. Login to the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your Server.
4. Using SFTP, Upload the extracted Mods to your servers Mods folder.

Enabling The Allocs Server Fixes 7D2D Interactive Live Map

1. Login to the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your Server.
2. Go to Management > File Manager.
3. Navigate to .local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/serveradmin.xml.
   • Directory.local

     • Directoryshare

       • Directory7DaysToDie

         • DirectorySaves

           • serveradmin.xml
4. Paste this under the </apitokens> section, and click save.

<webmodules>
 <module name="web.map" permission_level="2000" />
</webmodules>

The bottom of your file should now look like this:

serveradmin.xml

  <apitokens>
    <!-- <token name="adminuser1" secret="supersecrettoken" permission_level="0" /> -->
  </apitokens>
  <webmodules>
    <module name="web.map" permission_level="2000" />

visitmap -8192 -8192 8192 8192

4k Pregen
