Information

"Server Browser Rules" are key-value string pairs defined server-side.

These values are automatically transmitted/announced/broadcasted by your MTA Server using the ASE (All-Seeing Eye) protocol, when queried on the ASE UDP Port (server port + 123), which is 22126 by default.

These rules are included in your server's ASE response in addition to the server name, port, game type, map name, MTA version, password-protected, player count, max players and list of online players.

This data is to be received and parsed by MTA Clients (in the Server Browser) to display the list of online MTA servers with custom information for each server.

Setting & Getting

These rules can be set in your MTA Server's configuration file (Server_mtaserver.conf) using the following XML format: 

<rule name="NAME_HERE" value="VALUE_HERE"/>

They can also be defined and obtained using these two server-side functions:

Expected Values

The maximum amount of characters allowed in a rule value is 200.

The Server Browser looks for the following information (optional) provided by servers:

Key Explanation Accepted values Example
description Human-readable brief description of your server Text Custom cars and maps! Join various minigames from racing to drifting
languages Comma separated list of languages that your server supports See Allowed Languages en, ru, ar
tags Comma separated list of tags that describe your server See Allowed Tags freeroam, minigames, race, pvp, drifting
website_url Website URL of your server Valid URL starting with https:// https://example-website.com
social_url_1 Social media URL #1 Valid URL starting with https:// https://discord.com/invite/example
social_url_2 Social media URL #2 Valid URL starting with https:// https://youtube.com/@exampleChannel
social_url_3 Social media URL #3 Valid URL starting with https:// https://facebook.com/examplePage

Full Example

Below is an example configuration that you can include in mtaserver.conf: 

<rule name="description" value="Custom cars and maps! Join various minigames from racing to drifting" />
<rule name="languages" value="en, ru, ar" />
<rule name="tags" value="freeroam, minigames, race, pvp, drifting" />
<rule name="website_url" value="https://example-website.com" />
<rule name="social_url_1" value="https://discord.com/invite/example" />
<rule name="social_url_2" value="https://youtube.com/@exampleChannel" />
