Xonotic: Connecting to and setting up your server

How to connect to your Xonotic server and change the player count and version.

Here you’ll learn how to connect to your Xonotic server and change the most important settings.

Connecting

  1. Start the server on the server page with Start.
  2. Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console.
  3. In the game, open the console and enter connect IP:Port. Alternatively, use the multiplayer menu.
  4. The address (IP:Port) is shown at the top of your server page.

Important settings

You change these values in the Startup variables tab. Changes take effect on the next restart.

  • Max. players (MAX_PLAYERS) – how many players can join at the same time.
  • Version (VERSION) – which Xonotic version is installed.

You manage your server’s other files in the Files tab.

Good to know

  • The server and the game should use the same Xonotic version.
