This guide shows how to change your Windrose server's name, password and other details in the ChicagoServers control panel.
Step 1: Sign in to the control panel
Sign in at panel.chicagoservers.co and open the Windrose server you want to manage.
Step 2: Change the settings on the Startup tab
Open the Startup tab. Everything players see is here, so there's no JSON to edit:
- Server name: the name of your server.
- Join password: set one to make the server password protected, or leave it empty for none.
- Invite code: the code players use to join (Play > Connect to Server), at least 6 letters or numbers and case-sensitive. Leave it empty to keep the code the server generated. You can see the current code on the Configs tab, under Server description (Current invite code).
- Region (under Admin): the region the server uses. Automatic picks one by connection quality. Europe also covers North America. The others are Southeast Asia and CIS.
The player limit is set to match your plan.
Step 3: Save and restart
Click Save startup, then Restart at the top of the page. The panel writes these settings to the server's ServerDescription.json for you.
On a brand-new server, that file is made during the first start, so restart once more after the server is up for your settings to apply.
Notes
- You can see ServerDescription.json on the Configs tab (Server description). Don't change
WorldIslandIdorPersistentServerIdthere: they tie the server to its world. - If you set a password, share it only with the players you want to join.
