How To Change Server Settings On Your Dystopia Server

Settings like the time limit, rounds and friendly fire live in your server's server.cfg file.

Editing Your Server Settings

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files.
  3. 3
    Open the dystopia folder, then the cfg folder, and click server.cfg.
  4. 4
    Change the settings you want, one per line, for example mp_timelimit 30.
  5. 5
    Click Save and restart your server.

Some common settings:

SettingWhat it does
mp_timelimit 20Minutes per map.
mp_rounds 2Rounds per map. Teams swap sides between rounds.
mp_friendlyfire 11 lets players hurt teammates, 0 turns it off.
mp_autoteambalance 11 keeps the teams even.
mp_startdelay 60Seconds before a round starts.
mp_allowvoting 11 lets players start votes, 0 turns votes off.
sv_alltalk 01 lets both teams hear each other on voice chat.

Your server name, passwords, max players and starting map are set in Settings and override this file. Don't edit ghb_server.cfg: your server writes it from your Settings every time it starts.
