Server Browser Rules

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 main UDP Port (default 22003).

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 (mtaserver.conf):

<!-- The rule parameters are optional settings that the server will make public for the server browser/list.
	 A brief description of the server. -->
<rule name="description" value="" />

<!-- A comma separated list of languages that the server supports (e.g. en). -->
<rule name="languages" value="" />

<!-- A comma separated list of tags that describe the server (e.g. freeroam,roleplay). -->
<rule name="tags" value="" />

<!-- The URL of the server's website. -->
<rule name="website_url" value="" />

<!-- A social media URL #1 (e.g. Discord). -->
<rule name="social_url_1" value="" />

<!-- A social media URL #2 (e.g. YouTube). -->
<rule name="social_url_2" value="" />

<!-- A social media URL #3 (e.g. Facebook). -->
<rule name="social_url_3" value="" />

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

• setRuleValue
• getRuleValue
