Config.xml
Default Config.xml #
ServX will look for a Config.xml file in the current working directory. If one is not found then a default will be created. Below are various options and their descriptions.
Config #
Name | Description |
---|---|
ExposeToInternet | If false, ServX will only listen on the local loopback (127.0.0.1). If true, ServX will listen on all interfaces. |
AdvertiseServer | If true, ServX will be visible in the public server list. |
AccessListOnly | If true, only those defined within AccessList.xml will be allowed a successful connection, anyone else will be denied. |
AccessRestriction | When defined, only those with access greater than or equal to definition can successfully connect. |

ServerName | Name of the server, displayed in the server browser. |
ServerDescription | A description of the server. |
DEV | When true, a global lua variable DEV is declared as true. This allows writing logic to handle things from development to production by using different Config.xml files, as configurations are not shared between those environments. |

Core | Relative to rundir location of the core scripts and definitions |
Game | Relative to rundir location of the game scripts and definitions. This can overwrite anything defined in Core. |
