How To Set Team Balance On Your Squad Server

Your Squad server has three settings that decide whether players can switch teams and how evenly the teams are kept.

Changing Your Team Balance Settings

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under Basic, turn the team settings you want on or off.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.
SettingDescription
Allow Team ChangeLets players switch teams. Turn it off to lock players to the team they join. Default: Enabled
Prevent Team Change If UnbalancedBlocks a team switch that would leave one team more than 3 players bigger than the other. Turn it off to let players switch freely. Default: Enabled
Enforce Team BalanceForces team balance when the teams are too uneven. Default: Enabled

Admins with the balance permission can always switch teams, and admins with forceteamchange can move other players with AdminForceTeamChange.

Tip

Prevent Team Change If Unbalanced allows a difference of 3 players between the teams. To change it, set NumPlayersDiffForTeamChanges in Server.cfg in SquadGame/ServerConfig/.
