Changing settings: overview
Where to change what, the same for all games.
Every game server is managed through the game server panel. The panel has three areas:
- Console: Send commands directly to the running server.
- Files: Open and edit configuration files in the file manager. Changes take effect after a restart.
- Startup: Start parameters and variables. Anyone who changes something here restarts the server.
Before every change
- Back up the affected file, e.g. download or copy it.
- Make the change.
- Restart the server and check in the console that it starts without errors.
A faulty configuration file often prevents the server from starting. The console usually shows the line with the error.
Which way for which game?
The game pages name the specific files and commands. They also say what can only be changed in the game and what only via the file.
