Auto Update

Auto Update Variable on Startup Parameters Page Controls whether or not the server will automatically update when the server restarts. A value of 1 means it will auto update and a value of 0 means it will not auto update.

Max Players

Max Players input on Startup Paramaters Page Specifies the maximum amount of players that can join. Must be at least 1.

Server Name

Server Name input on Startup Paramaters Page The name displayed for your server in the server list.

Server Password

Server Password input on Startup Paramaters Page The password required to connect to your server. May be left blank.

Admin Password

Admin Password input on Startup Paramaters Page The password needed to enable admin commands on the server using the /AdminPassword command and for sending commands over RCON.
You can empty this field to disable admin commands and RCON entirely. Doing so will also prevent you from sending commands via the GCP server console.
