How to Change Your The Front Server Name and Password

The Front keeps its server settings in an INI file under its manager folder. The server writes it on first boot, so let the server run once before you edit anything.

Open the file

1. Start the server once, let it finish loading, then stop it.
2. In the panel open Files and go to:

   TheFrontManager/ServerConfig_.ini

   If you do not see it, use the file manager's search for ServerConfig_, since the exact folder depends on the build.

Stop the server before editing. The config is rewritten on shutdown.

The settings that matter

[BaseServerConfig]
ServerName="My PlayNHost The Front Server"
ServerTitle="PvE, weekly restarts"
ServerPassword=
ServerAdminAccounts=76561198000000000;76561198000000001;

• ServerName is what shows in the browser. Keep the quotes.
• ServerTitle is the short description shown alongside it.
• ServerPassword empty means an open server.
• ServerAdminAccounts is a semicolon separated list of SteamID64 values, and it needs a trailing semicolon after the last entry.

Slots

Your plan's slot count is applied through the MAX_PLAYERS variable on your server's Startup Settings page, reachable from the server overview. To run more players, upgrade the plan in the billing area.

Game rules

The gameplay multipliers, such as harvest and experience rates, decay timers and raid rules, are set in the same configuration area rather than in the game. Read through the file with the server stopped and change one value at a time so you can tell which change did what.

Apply and verify

1. Save the file.
2. Start the server.
3. Check the server name in the browser. If it reverted, the file was overwritten because the server was running when you edited it.

Back up first

Before a round of changes, download the config folder from Files. It is small, and a known good copy turns a broken start into a quick restore.
