Here you'll learn how to connect to your Nightingale server and change the most important settings.
Connecting
- Start the server on the server page with Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console tab.
- In the game, connect via the multiplayer menu or direct connect using the address (IP:Port) at the top of your server page.
- Enter the connection password if you have set one.
Important settings
- Connection password (
CONNECTION_PASSWORD) – optional password for joining. - Admin password (
ADMIN_PASSWORD) – anyone who enters it in the game can kick and ban players. - Max. players (
MAX_PLAYERS) – more than 6 players are not officially supported by the game. - Difficulty (
DIFFICULTY) – starting difficulty: easy, medium, hard or extreme.
Changes to the Startup variables take effect on the next restart.
Good to know
- The admin password (
ADMIN_PASSWORD) is generated automatically by the portal during setup. It is shown once at the top of the server page – please make a note of it. You can change it in the Startup variables tab. - On first start, the server downloads the game files. This can take a few minutes – please don't interrupt it.
