Getting started

In this guide, we'll explain how to use the command line manager. But before we do so, make sure you are logged into your TCAdmin manager panel and selected your server. From there, you'll see the main screen where you can stop/start your server.

Using the manager, and making changes

From the main screen, you can see a lot of buttons. One of them is called "Commandline Manager". This is where we want to go. Click the Commandline Manager button.

Once you are looking at our Commandline Manager panel, you'll see multiple pre-defined default configurations and you'll have multiple predefined command line setups available to you. Click on any of the predefined command lines to edit them. and configure them to your needs.

The commandline manager.

The command line we are going to use is "Procedural Map" but we'll explain what every command line does first,

- Procedural Map: The default configuration, this will be automatically selected.
- Custom Map Dropbox: Used to download a map from a dropbox link (This is the one you need for our Custom Map Guide).
- Custom Map Download: Used to download a map from a specific URL (Don't use this unless you know what you're doing).

Now, on the "Procedural Map" command line, click "Select". You are greeted with a screen that looks like this (see image below). For example, if I'd want to change my server name to "RustDedicated||Online 24/7" I would change the value of key "Hostname:" to "RustDedicated||Online 24/7" and then click "Apply".
