Configuring your Nightingale Server

info

Before proceeding to make any changes to the server settings, please ensure that you have stopped your server.

Altering Settings via the CreeperPanel​

  1. Before connecting to your server, you may want to change some of the game settings. This is not a necessary step; if you don't want to change anything, you can skip this. Otherwise, navigate to Nightingale in the CreeperPanel.
  2. Select Settings under Settings in the console's side-bar.
  3. You will see the currently available settings you are able to change:
    1. Connection Password - your basic server password.
    2. Admin Password - you'll need to set this password to log in as an admin, to have access to admin commands on the server.
    3. Starting Difficulty - choose from easy, medium, hard, or extreme. If you import a character before your first play session, you won't need to change this.
  4. After you have made any changes, make sure to select the Save icon to confirm and save your settings.
