Euro Truck Simulator 2 server settings explained
All 21 settings a Euro Truck Simulator 2 server has on ToastHosting, as its Settings page shows them: what each one does, its default, and the values it takes. Where a setting has a name in the game's own configuration file, that name is shown next to it.
Server
Server name
The name players see in Convoy's server list, up to 63 characters.
Join password
Players type it to join. Leave empty so anyone can join.
How many players
The most drivers online at once. 8 is the game's own limit.
Description
A line under the name in the server list, up to 63 characters.
Welcome message
Shown to players when they join, up to 127 characters.
Moderators (Steam IDs)
Steam IDs of players who may use the chat commands /set_time and /set_rain_factor, separated by commas: the 17-digit number starting with 7656 (steamid.io shows yours).
Game
Trucks take damage
AI traffic
Cars and trucks driven by the game.
Most vehicles in all
Player and AI vehicles together. Lower it if the server lags.
Most AI vehicles per player
Most AI vehicles appearing per player
Hide other players at companies
Other trucks disappear in company yards, so nobody blocks a parking spot.
Hide trucks in the way after a teleport
A truck that would collide with another after a teleport or a respawn is hidden for a while.
Speed limiter for everyone
No collisions at service stops
Players drive through each other at fuel stations and services.
Players in a menu are ghosts
A player with a menu open can't be hit.
Name tags over trucks
Optional mods stay optional
Players may leave out the mods their authors marked optional. Map mods are always needed.
Time zones
SCS's time zone setting for the map (0, 1 or 2; their documentation's example uses 2).
Advanced
Steam server token
Optional: keeps the server's search ID the same between starts. Make one on steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers with app ID 227300 (the game's, not the server's), from a Steam account that owns the game.
Extra launch options
Extra options added to the game's start command, for people who know the game's own launch flags. Leave it empty otherwise.
The ports a Euro Truck Simulator 2 server uses
- 27015/TCP Game
- 27015/UDP Game (UDP)
- 27016/TCP Query
- 27016/UDP Query (UDP)
These are Euro Truck Simulator 2's standard ports. On ToastHosting each server gets ports of its own; the server page shows the address and port to join with, so there is nothing to forward.
