Apply a Startup change
- Stop the server between sessions. For a save-related change, make a backup first.
- Open Startup → Variables, enter a value accepted by the field and wait for it to save.
- Start the server and check the result in game. If startup stops, read the first Console error before making another change.
| Panel field | Purpose and accepted values |
|---|---|
| Server Password | The password for players joining the game. Do not reuse your panel account password. Allowed range: 1–100. |
| Server Map | Selects the map loaded by this server. Use an exact installed map identifier supported by the game, including any required path. Up to 20 characters. |
| Server Name | The name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 128 characters. |
File settings and Startup overrides
The Server Map field selects what starts; changing it is not a conversion of an existing map save.
