How to Set Up an Interactive Live Map for Your 7D2D Server

This guide will show you how to install Allocs Server Fixes and create an interactive live map of your 7 Days to Die server. Here's how it's done as of 7 Days to Die V2.1 (b9); this mod integrates its live map into the 7 Days to Die Web Dashboard.

Installing Allocs Server Fixes (Modded)

Caution

If you have crossplay enabled, you must skip this step as modded servers are not compatible with crossplay.

If you're new to modding 7 Days to Die, 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.

  1. 1
    Download Allocs Server Fixes from here.
  2. 2
    Extract the downloaded files.
  3. 3
    Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your server.
  4. 4
    Using SFTP, Upload the extracted Mods to your servers Mods folder.

Enabling the 7 Days to Die Interactive Live Map

  1. 1
    Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    Go to File Manager.
  3. 3
    Navigate to .local/share/7DaysToDie/Saves/serveradmin.xml.
    .local
    share
    7DaysToDie
    Saves
    serveradmin.xml
  4. 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:

  <apitokens>
    <!-- <token name="adminuser1" secret="supersecrettoken" permission_level="0" /> -->
  </apitokens> 
  <webmodules>
    <module name="web.map" permission_level="2000" /> 
  </webmodules>
  <webusers />
</adminTools>
  • Permission level 2000 means anyone can view the live map without logging in to your web dashboard with Steam.

Enabling the 7 Days to Die Web Dashboard With Map Rendering

  1. 1
    Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Startup Parameters.
  3. 3
    Set Web Dashboard Enabled to Enabled.
  4. 4
    Set Enable Map Rendering to Enabled.
  5. 5
    Start your server.

Viewing Your 7 Days to Die Live Map

  1. 1
    Copy your servers IP address.
  2. 2
    In your browser, go to your ServerIPAddress:WebDashboardPort, for example: 
    123.123.123.123:7800
    123.123.123.123 being the IP address of the server, and 7800 being the Web Dashboard Port, as seen under Configuration > Startup Parameters > Web Dashboard Port.
  3. 3
    Select Legacy-Map to view your Live Map.

If you're an admin and you sign in to the Web Dashboard, you'll have additional features; normal users can only see the map and its chunk regions.

Rendering a 7 Days to Die Map

To render the map, a player will either have to explore it, or you can use the visitmap -x -x x x command, replacing -x -x for negative coordinates, and x x for positive coordinates, for example an 8k map can be rendered with this command into your server console:

visitmap -8192 -8192 8192 8192

Here are the visitmap commands for all of the pregen map sizes:

4k Pregen

visitmap -4096 -4096 4096 4096

6k Pregen

visitmap -6144 -6144 6144 6144

8k Pregen

visitmap -8192 -8192 8192 8192

10k Pregen

visitmap -10240 -10240 10240 10240
