This article will guide you how to setup basic server config for your Insurgency server.
This guide will show you the things you can edit in your Insurgency server to customize it according to your preferences:
1. Login and access your game panel and navigate to your Insurgency server. Make sure it's not running. If it is, press the "Stop" button.
2. Open the 'Configuration Files' section from your control panel.
You have two method for this:
- Via the Config Editor (We recommend this if you only want to edit basic settings)
- Via the Text Editor
3. Click on the Config Editor button next to 'server.cfg' if you choose this method. If not, proceed to step 6.
4. This menu will pop up. Here, you will see all the values and parameters you can edit for your server. We suggest this method as this is more convenient and easier to use.
5. Make sure to press Save & Exit once you've made the changes you want.
6. Click on the 'Text Editor' option next to 'server.cfg'.
