What these settings mean

Quick reference for the 2 most important keys in this QuakeWorld 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
1 setting
hostname
Server name shown in the in-game browser. Keep it under 64 characters and avoid colour codes if you want clean Steam listings.
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.
