Manual Configuration

If you prefer to edit your server's settings manually, you can do so directly in the Server Files tab by editing the server.cfg file.

Basic Server Information

These settings define your server’s name, description, and maximum player count:

sv_hostname "Your Server Name"      # Sets the server name
sv_maxclients 8                  # Limits the maximum number of players (Default: 32)
sv_licenseKey "your_license_key"     # Required for authentication

Server Rules and Behavior

These settings help enforce gameplay rules and control server behavior:

onesync_enabled 1                    # Enables OneSync for better synchronization
sv_scriptHookAllowed 0     # Prevents unauthorized script injections (0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled)
sv_enforceGameBuild 1436              # Forces a specific game build for compatibility

Resource Management

To ensure resources load correctly, you need to include them in the configuration:

ensure essentialmode                  # Loads a core framework (if used)
ensure some_script                     # Loads a custom script
ensure some_map                        # Loads a custom map

Logging and Debugging

Enable logging and debugging for troubleshooting:

sv_logfile "server.log"               # Saves logs to a file
sv_debugMode 1                        # Enables debugging mode

Permissions and Security

Control admin privileges and access levels:

add_ace group.admin command allow     # Grants admins access to all commands
add_principal identifier.steam:123456 group.admin  # Assigns admin role to a specific Steam ID
