BeamMP configuration is handled through two different areas of your game server. Basic server options are managed from the Startup page, while additional settings can be changed directly in ServerConfig.toml. Knowing which settings belong in each location is important because the game panel automatically manages certain values when the server starts.

​
Configure the Server from Startup

The Startup page contains the main settings commonly needed to configure your BeamMP server. Available options include:
  • Server Name (NAME): Controls the name displayed in the BeamMP server browser.
  • Server Description (DESCRIPTION): Sets the description shown to players.
  • Authentication Key (AUTHKEY): The BeamMP Keymaster authentication key used by your server.
  • Max Players (MAX_PLAYERS): Sets the maximum number of players who can connect.
  • Private (PRIVATE): Prevents the server from appearing on the public server list.
  • Max Cars (MAX_CARS): Controls how many vehicles each player can have spawned.
  • Map (MAP): Determines which BeamNG.drive map the server loads.
  • Chat Logging (LOGCHAT): Controls whether server chat is recorded in the logs.
  • BeamMP Server Version (VERSION): Selects the BeamMP server version.
The panel applies these settings to ServerConfig.toml whenever the server starts.
Important: Do not manually change these panel-managed settings inside ServerConfig.toml. Any changes made there will be replaced with the values configured on the Startup page during the next server startup.

​
Configure Advanced Options

Settings that are not available through the Startup page can be changed directly in ServerConfig.toml. Examples include:
  • Debug
  • AllowGuests
  • Tags
  • Resource synchronization settings
  • Other advanced BeamMP configuration options
To edit the file:
  1. Sign in to the game panel.
  2. Open your BeamMP server.
  3. Stop the server.
  4. Select Files.
  5. Open ServerConfig.toml from the server’s root directory.
  6. Make the required changes.
  7. Save the file.
  8. Start the server again.

​
Do Not Change the Port

Avoid manually modifying the Port value in ServerConfig.toml. The game panel automatically assigns the port using your server’s primary allocation. Changing this value manually can cause the BeamMP server to listen on the wrong port, preventing players from connecting. If you need to change the port your server uses, manage the allocation through the Network section of the game panel instead.
