In Garry's Mod, servers without a GSLT set will be hard to find in the community listing. By setting this token, your server will be positioned higher in the server listings.
WHY DO I WANT A GSLT KEY
Many source games such as Garry's Mod prefer you to have what is known as a GSLT token in order to run your server. This is done to ensure that servers are created by real people and to add accountability to someone if those servers violate the game's Terms or Service.
In order to be able to generate a GSLT, you must have a steam account which:
- Is not banned or blocked.
- Is not limited.
- Has a qualifying registered phone.
- Owns the game for the server you are making a key for.
- Has not reached the cap of 1,000 GSLT keys.
If your server is found to be breaking Valve's ToS, the server and your linked steam account may be banned.
HOW TO GET YOUR GSLT KEY
- First, make sure that you are logged into Steam Community.
- Navigate to Steam Game Servers Account.
- At the bottom of the page, fill out the App ID value of the game (Garry's Mod is 4000).
- Add a memo or note if you want.
- Your GSLT key is the Login Token that will appear.
HOW TO ADD YOUR GSLT KEY
- Login to your Control Panel.
- Click on the Files > Config Files tab on the left.
- Open the Garry's Mod Server Settings config file.
- Add your key to the
Steam GSLT Tokenconfig option.
- Press the Save button at the bottom of the page and Restart your server.
