Server Command Line Api

During the very first months of the current generation of skymp server's existence, we used command line API to configure our servers. These days we have a configuration file in JSON format, but configuring via command-line arguments is also supported.

skymp5-server.exe --maxPlayers 108 --name "Server X" --port 7777 --ip "127.0.0.1"

Things you need to know about command-line arguments before using one:

  • Arguments passed directly to a command line implicitly override values from server-settings.json if they are set.

  • The only options that exist as command-line arguments are maxPlayers, name, port, ip. They have the same meanings as options in server-settings.json.

  • Instead of writing --maxPlayers 108 you may use -m 108. Only maxPlayers option has a short version.
