# WindowsGSM.cfg

WindowsGSM.cfg will be auto-created after the game server installed successfully. This config file stores the most common parameters like *IP*, *port*, *map*, *maxplayer,* etc. These values will be loaded as server start parameters. If you would like to add custom start parameters, see #additional-parameters below.
