# How to Enable Gamma Commands on Your ARK Server

Guide on enabling gamma commands

### **How to Enable Gamma on Your ChipHead ARK Server**

Gamma is a brightness control setting in **ARK: Survival Evolved** that lets players adjust how bright or dark the game looks. By default, gamma changes are disabled on servers, but you can enable this option to make night-time visibility easier for players.

### **Enabling Gamma**

1⃣ Log in to your **ChipHead Panel** and **stop** your server.

4⃣ Under the `[ServerSettings]` section, add or edit the following lines:

EnablePvPGamma=true
DisablePvEGamma=false
```

5⃣ Click **Save**, then return to your **ChipHead Panel** and **start** your server.

Once your server restarts, players will be able to adjust brightness in-game using the following commands:

```javascript
gamma 1
gamma 2
gamma 3
```

_(Higher numbers increase brightness.)_
