Configuration Types

Auto-Generated

Created automatically on first run. Safe to delete — will regenerate with defaults.

In-Game Editable

Can be changed via !madmin > Settings menu. Changes are saved automatically.

Manual Edit Required

Must be edited with a text editor. These files control content that can’t be easily managed in-game.

Storage Files

Used internally to store data. Do not edit manually — you may corrupt data.

Quick Setup Checklist

  1. Add your maps to soccer_mod_allowed_maps.cfg
  2. Configure downloads in soccer_mod_downloads.cfg for skins/sounds
  3. Set up skins in soccer_mod_skins.cfg
  4. Configure GK areas using !gksetup in-game
  5. Set map defaults in soccer_mod_mapdefaults.cfg (optional)
  6. Configure kickoff walls using !kickoffwalls in-game (optional)

Most other settings can be adjusted in-game via the admin menu.
