Configuring your server

Every setting lives in one file you can open in Notepad.

1
Stop the server.
Close its window, or type exit in it.
2
Open configs/server.cfg in Notepad.
Each line is one setting, like this:
```
name=Sunset Cruisers
map=west_coast_usa
max_players=16
bots=20
```
3
Change what you want and save.
4
Start the server again.

The settings you'll use

Setting	What it does
`name`	The server's name in the list.
`description`	A line about your server.
`map`	The map. Use its folder name, like `west_coast_usa` (list below), or a map mod's zip name.
`max_players`	How many people can join.
`max_cars`	How many cars each player can have at once.
`mode`	What the server is for: `general`, `drift`, `drag`, `racing`, `offroad`, `derby` or `roleplay`.
`password`	Players need it to join. Leave empty for none.
`private`	`true` hides it from the list. People join by address.
`voice_chat`	`true` or `false`.
`voice_range`	How far a voice carries, in metres. `0` means everyone hears everyone.
`bots`	How many traffic cars the server drives. `0` means none.
`map_minutes`	Minutes on each map when you use a map rotation.
`whitelist`	`true` lets only the players in `whitelist.cfg` join.
`staff_slots`	Slots kept free for admins and moderators.

Players' PCs

Every player's game draws every car on your server: players' cars and traffic. About 25 cars or more needs a graphics card with more than 6 GB of video memory (VRAM) on each player's PC. If your players have older PCs, keep bots and max_players low.

Tip

The settings under Advanced in the file are fine as they are on almost every server. port is the one people change, when 27015 is taken.

Tip

For a map from a mod, use the zip's name without .zip, like mycustommap. See Installing mods.

More than one map

1
Open configs/maplist.cfg.
2
Write one map name per line.
```
west_coast_usa
italy
utah
```
3
Save and restart.
The server moves to the next map every map_minutes minutes, and warns everyone in chat first.

Admins

1
Open configs/admins.cfg.
2
Add your SteamID64 on its own line.
It's the 17-digit number on your Steam Account details page. While you're on the server, the list command in the server window shows it too.
3
Save and restart.
In the game, type /help in chat to see the admin commands: kick, ban, mute, change map and more.
