Contagion server settings: Startup and configuration

Use Startup Map, Max Players and Server Config in Startup to configure Contagion.

Apply a Startup change

  1. Stop the server between sessions. For a save-related change, make a backup first.
  2. Open Startup → Variables, enter a value accepted by the field and wait for it to save.
  3. Start the server and check the result in game. If startup stops, read the first Console error before making another change.
Open Startup → Variables for the controls exposed by this server. This demonstration hides private values; file edits are made through Files.

Startup MapSelects the map loaded by this server. Use an exact installed map identifier supported by the game, including any required path. Up to 20 characters.
Max PlayersControls how many players the game accepts at once. This is a game setting; the hosting plan’s player estimate is a sizing suggestion.
Server ConfigConfiguration filename executed at startup, normally server.cfg. Edit that selected file; changes to another configuration are not automatically loaded.
