Commands 51 Server settings

Descriptions for commands that are modifiable through the OPTIONS -> CLASSICS PATCH -> Server settings menu.

Server options

• net_strVIPPassword - Vanilla command for specifying the password for VIP clients that may join as players or observers over the max player limit (up to the engine-defined limit).
• net_strConnectPassword - Vanilla command for specifying the password for players that may connect under the max client limit.
• net_strObserverPassword - Vanilla command for specifying the password for observers that may connect under the max client limit.
• ser_strAdminPassword - Password for authorizing as a server administrator using the !login chat command. Leaving it blank prevents any non-server client from becoming an admin.
• ser_strOperatorPassword - Password for authorizing as a server operator using the !login chat command. Leaving it blank prevents any non-server client from becoming an operator.

Anti-flood system

• ser_bEnableAntiFlood - Forbid clients from flooding the server with character change or chat message packets (ON by default).
• ser_iPacketFloodThreshold - Maximum amount of packets a client may send per second before kicking them (10 by default).
  • 0 - Client is kicked immediately after trying to send a chat message or change the character.
  • Below 0 - Don't check for packet flood.
• ser_iMaxMessagesPerSecond - Maximum amount of chat messages a client may send per second. If this amount is exceeded, the server issues a warning to the client (2 by default).
  • 0 - Chat messages are disabled altogether.
  • Below 0 - No chat message limit per second.

Other options

• ser_bMaskGUIDs - Hide unique identifiers of player characters of other players from server clients to prevent them from being stolen (OFF by default).

Warning

This feature isn't the most efficient and may slow down the server by sending packets with a considerable delay under certain conditions. Due to engine limitations, if server saves a map with GUID masking on, reconnecting players will not be attached to their dummy player entities and will instead spawn as if they connected for the first time.

• ser_bReportSyncBadToClients - Notify clients about bad syncs whenever their game state doesn't sync with the server (OFF by default).
• ser_bForbidVanilla - Make the server exclusive to clients with the patch for better compatibility (OFF by default).

Note

All clients should have the same version of the patch as the server in order to connect. If the client does not have the patch or has a different version of it, they will be prompted to download it.

• sutl_iThirdPersonViewButton - Prevents the usage of the third person view both as the button and as the "Prefer 3rd person view" option, if set to 7 in the vanilla game (-1 by default).

Important

This functionality is part of the Server Utilities plugin and will not work if the plugin isn't loaded.

• ser_strCommandPrefix - What prefix should chat commands start with. Can be multiple characters or none (! by default).

Voting system

• ser_bVotingSystem - Enables voting system as a whole (OFF by default).
• ser_bPlayersStartVote - Determines whether or not players can initiate any voting process (ON by default).
• ser_bPlayersCanVote - Determines whether or not players are allowed to vote during active voting process (ON by default).

• ser_fVotingTime - Sets how long each voting period lasts (30.0 by default).
• ser_fVotingTimeout - How long to wait before being able to initiate another vote (30.0 by default).

• ser_bVoteSkip - Enables voting for skipping current round on a dedicated server (ON by default).

Gameplay extensions

• gex_bEnable - Toggle usage of gameplay extensions. If disabled, sets all the settings underneath to vanilla-compatible values (ON by default).

Warning

This setting makes the game incompatible with vanilla. Launched servers, saved games and recorded demos with this setting turned on cannot be played without the patch afterwards.

Global extensions
