console

Previoustest-alertNextdebug

Last updated 1 year ago

The console command allows access the output of the game server executable. Depending on which server you are running it allows you to see the current activity of the game server, check errors in real time, and input commands.

Some game servers provide a verbose output in console.

Some game servers can be managed from the console.

Commands

Run the following command to access console:

Standard: ./gameserver console

Short: ./gameserver c

Answer y at the prompt.

Exiting the console

To exit the console: Press CTRL + b, then, press d

Take your time as this can be confusing at first.

Pressing CTRL+c while in console will kill the session, stopping the game server.
