Gameserver configuration
Teams and services
Teams and services are configured through the database. You may modify the tables directly, but the preferred way to alter these settings is by using the scorebot administration console.
Database settings
Database settings are stored in the file settings residing in the CWD of the gameserver. You normally do not have to edit this file once it is created, unless you move your database. If you have lost the file, recreate it using the installation script install.py
Administrator console password
The administrator console password is controlled by the adminPassword property of the settings file.
Miscellaneous
All other settings are controlled by files residing in the control/ subdirectory. For future versions, all settings will be stored in that directory. For now, the following settings exist: (All paths are relative to the control/ directory residing in the gameserver's CWD.
