Here's how to connect to your CS2D server and adjust the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Open the server page in the client area and click Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
  3. Copy the address (IP:Port) at the top of the server page.
  4. Launch CS2D and connect via the server list or directly with the address.

Important settings

In the Startup variables tab:

  • Server name (SERVER_NAME) – name in the server list.
  • Server password (SERVER_PASSWORD) – empty = open server.
  • Max. players (SERVER_PLAYERS) – maximum number of players.

Changes in the Startup variables tab take effect on the next restart.

Good to know

  • More settings are in sys/server.cfg in the Files tab.
