What these settings mean

Quick reference for the 12 most important keys in this SourceForts Classic 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

3 settings

hostname: Server name shown in the in-game browser. Keep it under 64 characters and avoid colour codes if you want clean Steam listings.
sv_password: Optional join password. Empty string means a public server.
sv_contact: Public-facing admin contact email. Shown in the server info reply.

Network

3 settings

sv_lan: 1 forces LAN-only mode (no Steam heartbeat). Set 0 for any internet-facing server.
sv_allowdownload: 1 lets clients download missing maps / models from the server. Slow — better to pair with sv_downloadurl.
sv_downloadurl: Fast-DL HTTP URL for clients to fetch missing assets. Massively faster than Source's built-in trickle download.

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.

Logging

5 settings

log: Master switch for server logging. `on` writes to logs/L<date>.log — required for SourceMod and stats.
sv_logbans: 1 logs ban / kick events. Always on for any moderated server.
sv_logecho: 1 mirrors log lines to the server console — handy when tailing via screen / tmux.
sv_logfile: 1 writes log lines to disk in addition to stdout.
sv_log_onefile: 1 writes all activity into a single log file instead of rotating per map.
