Controls used in this task
Panel fieldWhat to keep in mind
Server PasswordThe password for players joining the game. Do not reuse your panel account password. Up to 40 characters.
Server HostnameThe name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 40 characters.
Advertise ServerControls whether the session advertises itself in the game’s browser. A hidden listing does not automatically make a server password-protected. On or off (the panel may display True/False or 1/0).

Check the result

The configuration uses command-style entries rather than JSON. Preserve the file’s syntax, and distinguish an advertisement failure from a client content mismatch.
