Hosting a The Front Server

The following section covers the first-time setup we would suggest The Front server owners follow to get started with their server!

Server Name

Your server's name is the only form of identification for your server in The Front dedicated server list. As there is no way to connect via IP you are required to find your server using its name.

Admins

Admin players are granted additional permissions allowing users to use in-game commands whilst connecting to a server.

Setting up a Wipe Timer

As wipes are a key component of gameplay on The Front it's important to set up a wipe timer that lets players know when the server will wipe, resetting player & map data at a specific schedule.

Gamemode

An important decision for hosting your server would be to decide whether it's PvP or PvE.

Joining your server

Once the first-time setup is complete, the final step for you would be to connect to your server!


Customising your The Front Server

Once the initial setup has been completed for your server, as a server owner you can start investigating ways of additional customisation for your server.

Customisation for The Front is very diverse and there are many options. At Shockbyte we have made it extremely easy to make changes to your server with 3 different configuration files.

The Front Server Settings

This is your primary configuration file for making basic server/admin setting changes. A must-use if you wish to change key features of your The Front server.

The Front Game Settings

This is your configuration file that is focused on game-specific settings. There is a plethora of available options however we have made this much easier and added the most common settings to this file.

The Front Multiplier Settings

This configuration file is used to make changes to stat multipliers and gather rates. A great way to add some quality-of-life changes to your server is by speeding up progression.
