#### General Info - ##### All servers currently run on Debian Linux # Server Setup # Configurable Options [](https://kb.fullbuff.gg/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/image.png) #### All text fields that are required during setup of a new server can be filled with temporary information if you want to configure them later. #### The region and config will always be required, as the are the most important variables in the server setup process. # Install #### [](https://kb.fullbuff.gg/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/29wimage.png) During the install process, your server will pull the latest update for TF2. This normally takes 10-15 minutes for a brand new server.During peak traffic the download time can be much longer. Also during off hours (late at night into the next morning), I have noticed this process can easily take upwards of 45 minutes. I do not know why. Someone should email

It is important to note that bans are written on temporary storage, with the command writeid and writeip you can add bans to the permanent ban config files (banned\_ip.cfg, banned\_user.cfg). writeid and writeip are exec'd in server.cfg but not any of the RGL configs. Remember to enter those commands or simply execute server.cfg after banning players.
maps \* # Server Management Custom server management features and how to use them. # Server Plugins Plugins that may need extra configuration will have their relevant info posted here. # Passtime Servers Information relating to the use, configuration, and maintenance of Passtime servers on FullBuff Hosting. # RGLQoL sv_pure cvar [](https://kb.fullbuff.gg/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/Lh4image.png) #### Due to requirements set by RGL for official matches, the RGLQoL plugin will automatically force a map change if "sv\_pure" is set to '0'. #### Certain configs, such as the "pt\_pug" config used in Passtime, will change the "sv\_pure" setting to 0 so that certain client-side settings can be used. #### [](https://kb.fullbuff.gg/uploads/images/gallery/2024-09/2Ztimage.png) If you have one of these configs loaded, and want to use "sv\_pure 0", you must move the "rglqol.smx" plugin from "/tf/addons/sourcemod/plugins/" to the "disabled" folder in that same path. #### Due to RGL's updater plugin, the QoL plugin will automatically be redownloaded. To also prevent this, move the "rglupdater.smx" plugin to the disabled folder. #### These are both required during official matches, so be sure to move them back out to the "/plugins/" folder when you are done playing a pug or scrim.
