LGSS Scum Professonel Server Manager configuration guide

Almost everything about how LGSS Scum Professonel Server Manager behaves on your server is decided by its configuration. This page shows where that lives, what the defaults are, and how to change them without breaking anything.

Where the config lives

The creator has not listed the config's location. Most resources create the config on first start, so start the server once after installing and look for a new file named after LGSS Scum Professonel Server Manager.

The creator's screenshot shows LGSS Scum Professonel Server Manager in action; the settings below decide what you see here.

Changing a setting

• Copy the config file somewhere safe before your first edit.
• Change one setting at a time, so you know which edit caused which effect.
• Save the file, then restart the server so the change is read.
• Check the console for errors after every change; a syntax mistake can make the loader ignore the whole file.

Good habits for config changes

• Keep a short text note of every setting you changed and why. When something behaves oddly weeks later, that note is the fastest way to find the cause.
• Test bigger changes on a copy of the server, or at a quiet hour, before players rely on them.
• Never paste secrets (tokens, database passwords, RCON passwords) into screenshots or support requests.
• If a value takes a number, check its unit in the creator's notes: seconds and minutes are easy to mix up.

Keeping your settings through updates

When a new version of LGSS Scum Professonel Server Manager comes out, keep your edited config and compare it with the new defaults instead of overwriting it. New options appear with default values; renamed ones need your old value moved across by hand.
