Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:54 pm Post subject: Better TF2 Config File
The default config provided by GameCreate is good enough to get a server up and running, but it doesn't have a lot of options available for tweaking, and I noticed there aren't any config file templates for people to use so I thought I'd post the one I use for TF2. It's one I've been using for just over a year, and slowly tweaking it over time.
Feel free to use this as a base for your server. Some settings may need to be adjusted to get better performance, this is just what works best with my server. Will work for both Windows and Linux servers. The config is organized into sections, and each setting has a brief description.
Code:
//////#################\\\\\\
// General Server Settings \\
//////#################\\\\\\
// Name of the server for others to see in the server browser.
hostname ""
// Password needed by clients to connect to the server.
sv_password
// Maximum number of clients allowed to connect to server.
maxplayers 24
//////#################\\\\\\
/// Contact & Region Info \\\
//////#################\\\\\\
