Garry’s Mod server.cfg generator

In garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg on the server. It runs when the server starts and again on every map change, so a change applies after the next map change or restart.

They’re startup options, read once when the server starts: +gamemode, +map and +maxplayers. Put them in your host’s startup settings or at the end of the srcds command line. You can still change map later with changelevel in the console.

Per player: 200 props, 10 ragdolls, 10 NPCs, 4 vehicles, 100 scripted entities, 200 effects, 100 balloons, 50 thrusters, wheels, hoverballs and buttons, 20 emitters, 10 dynamite, 3 lamps, 5 lights, 10 cameras, 2000 constraints and 1000 ropes. They come from the Sandbox gamemode’s own settings file.

Facepunch calls it mandatory: without one, your server ranks lower in the server list. Make one for app 4000 on Steam’s game server account page and add it as +sv_setsteamaccount in the startup options. This tool never saves it or puts it in a link.

A two-letter country code in lower case, like gb, de or us, which shows that country’s flag next to your server. The European Union has its own: eu. Use where the server really is.
