Knowledgebase & Technical Guides

Official documentation for deploying and managing game servers on Br9lo Fleet.

1. open.mp & SA-MP Server Configuration

open.mp is fully backwards-compatible with SA-MP 0.3.7. Configure your server settings inside config.json or legacy server.cfg. Ensure echo 0, rcon 0, and maxplayers match your plan limits. Plugins must be placed in the plugins/ directory and declared without the .so extension on Linux.


2. Managing Server Files via SFTP

Connect using FileZilla or WinSCP using the SFTP credentials found under your server settings. Always connect over Port 2022 using your Pterodactyl account username and password. Never edit binaries directly while the server is active; shut down the server before uploading gamemodes or large archive packs.


3. Database Integration (MariaDB / MySQL)

Create a dedicated database via your panel Databases tab. Update your gamemode connection strings to bind host 127.0.0.1 or database.br9lo.com with the assigned database credentials. Ensure connection pools are closed gracefully on server exit.


4. FastDL & Network Routing

For CS 1.6 and MTA:SA servers, optimize client join speeds by hosting sound packs, models, and custom textures on an external FastDL web endpoint. Ensure sv_downloadurl matches your asset directory to prevent client timeouts during initial map downloads.
