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. Up to 40 characters. |
| Server Hostname | The 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 Server | Controls 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). |
Why a file edit can revert
Startup values are written to their mapped configuration entries when this server starts. Change a listed setting in Startup; use Files for settings that are not mapped to a panel field.
