How To Edit The Server Config On Your Trackmania Server

Settings that aren't on the Settings page, such as player slots and votes, live in your server's config file, dedicated_cfg.txt.

Editing The Server Config

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and Stop your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Files and open UserData/Config.
  3. 3
    Open dedicated_cfg.txt and change the values you want, for example <max_players>16</max_players>.
  4. 4
    Save the file and start your server.
SettingWhat it does
max_playersPlayer slots, 32 by default
max_spectatorsSpectator slots, 32 by default
password_spectatorPassword players need to join as spectators. Blank lets anyone spectate
keep_player_slotsTrue keeps a player's slot when they switch to spectating
callvote_ratioShare of players who must vote yes to pass a vote, from 0 to 1. -1 turns votes off
disable_hornsTrue mutes players' horns
disable_profile_skinsTrue shows every car in its country's default skin instead of the player's own skin

Note

The server account, server name, comment, password and game port come from the Settings page. They're written into dedicated_cfg.txt every time your server starts, so change them on the Settings page instead.

If the console shows Could not read UserData/Config/dedicated_cfg.txt, a tag in the file isn't closed. Fix it, or delete the file and start your server to get a fresh copy with the default settings.
