What these settings mean

Quick reference for the 8 most important keys in this BrainBread config. Hover or tap any key to see what it controls — useful when you're tuning a server for the first time and don't want to grep through the upstream wiki.

Core

2 settings

maxplayers: Hard cap on simultaneous players. Allocate slot budget for admins / reserved.
hostname: Server name shown in the in-game browser. Keep it under 64 characters and avoid colour codes if you want clean Steam listings.

Network

1 setting

sv_lan: 1 forces LAN-only mode (no Steam heartbeat). Set 0 for any internet-facing server.

Gameplay

4 settings

mp_timelimit: Map time limit in minutes (TF2 / casual). 0 disables.
sv_cheats: Enables developer cheat commands like noclip and god. Always 0 in competitive — only flip on for practice / surf / KZ servers.
mp_friendlyfire: 1 enables team damage. Required for competitive 5v5; usually off for community DM.
mp_fraglimit: First player to N kills ends the map (DM / FFA).

RCON

1 setting

rcon_password: Remote console password. Use a long random string — Source RCON is unencrypted, so anyone sniffing your wire can grab it if it's weak.
