Install a gamemode and update the startup settings to load it correctly.

Where to make these changes in the Konnect panel

Open the server from the Arix-themed Pterodactyl server list. Use Console for commands and errors, Files for configuration and uploads, Backups before risky changes, Schedules for automation, Users for delegated access, and Settings for SFTP details. Stop the server before replacing active save or database files, then watch Console during the next startup.

Konnect Hosting Arix themed Pterodactyl server list
All game servers share Pterodactyl’s core management tools; game-specific files and commands differ.

Install the gamemode files

Upload the gamemode to garrysmod/gamemodes or include it through your Workshop collection. Confirm the folder contains a valid gamemode definition.

Update startup settings

Set the gamemode value to the folder’s internal name, choose a compatible map, and restart. The first console error usually identifies a missing dependency.
