Server Configuration/Body

Server Configuration Files

Example Configuration File

Server configuration files are plain text files containing settings defining the server setup and the maps/game modes available in rotation. There are three types of line:

• Setting lines: <setting> <value> – the important ones.
• Comment lines: starting with # – ignored; good for notes and saved rotations.
• Empty lines: spacing only – ignored.

The usual layout: global server settings at the top, followed by a list of map-rotation settings. Further examples ship with the server (see Server Hosting).

Server-Wide Settings

These define how the server shows up to players, how it talks to the server browser, and basic restrictions.

Ports – all must be unique per instance on the same machine:

server_port 20100
steam_communications_port 8700
steam_query_port 27000

Display & access:

server_name New Server - Army Battlefield
server_welcome_message Welcome to my new game server!
server_region europe
server_admin_password ChangeThisPassword
#server_password ChangeThisPassword
server_intro_title Welcome to my server!
server_intro_body Greetings fellow humans

• server_password is optional (leave commented to keep the server public).
• server_admin_password is used for Remote Console Commands.
• server_intro_* shows a join popup.

Broadcast mode – network usage focus for close-range combat:

Parameter	Usage
LowBandwidth	Reduced packet rate on close range (high player count). Default.
HighAccuracy	Increased packet rate on close range (low player count).
Balanced	Between LowBandwidth and HighAccuracy; good for larger servers on strong hardware.
UltraHighAccuracy	Slightly lighter than Realtime; recommended only for Melee; higher caps than Realtime.
Realtime	Highest bandwidth; use only for Melee Arena with lower player counts.

Example:

network_broadcast_mode LowBandwidth

Artillery respawn (seconds). Defaults are 120s:

artillery_fieldgun_respawn_timer 120

population_low_min_players 30
population_medium_min_players 50
