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 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 20 characters. |
| Show in masterlist? | Controls whether the session advertises itself in the game’s browser. A hidden listing does not automatically make a server password-protected. Accepted values: true, false. |
File settings and Startup overrides
Server Name and master-list advertising are written to openttd.cfg. Other game settings should follow the generated OpenTTD configuration and console documentation.
