How To Configure Your Barotrauma Server

Open the Startup Page

Log in to the XGamingServer Panel and select your Barotrauma server. In the sidebar, click Startup.

Adjust Settings

Common settings available in Startup include:

• Server Name - Display name in the server browser
• Max Players - Maximum number of players
• Server Password - Password to join (leave blank for public)
• Server Port - Network port

Restart Your Server

After making changes, restart from the Console page.

Open Files

In the sidebar, click Files and open serversettings.xml.

Edit Server Settings

Key settings in this file include:

<serversettings
  name="My Barotrauma Server"
  public="true"
  maxplayers="16"
  password=""
  AllowRespawn="true"
  RespawnInterval="300"
  AllowDisguises="true"
  AllowRewiring="true"
  VoiceChatEnabled="true"
  AllowLinkingWifiToChat="true"
  TraitorProbability="0.2"
  AllowVoteKick="true"
  AutoBanTime="60"
  SubSelectionMode="Manual"
  ModeSelectionMode="Manual"
/>

Save and Restart

Save the file and restart your server.

📝 Note: Changes made in the serversettings.xml file may be overridden by Startup parameters. Check both locations if a setting does not seem to apply.

💡 Tip: The TraitorProbability setting controls how often traitor events occur. Set it to 0 to disable traitors entirely, or increase it for more frequent traitor rounds.
