Good to know
- These settings are applied when the server starts, so change them under Settings, then Game Settings, and restart the server for them to take effect.
- The panel saves a value when you leave its field. If the value is not allowed, the panel tells you and keeps the old one.
- Passwords and tokens are not listed with a value. Each server starts with one set for you, or with none, as the row says. Set a password before you invite players if you want a private server.
- To open the page, follow How to set up your Soulmask server or How to change your server settings.
