How to Connect to your Unreal Tournament 1999 Server
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Copy the Connection Info or Query Info IP and port exactly as listed.
3. You can use the Connection Info to connect directly through the game's in‑game server browser or via the Launcher.
Configuring your Server Settings
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any modifications, stop the server from running by clicking the Stop button.
3. Navigate to the Commandline Manager Tab and the Configuration Files Tab.
4. For the Configuration Files, select the Config Editor button. A pop‑up will open displaying key settings, such as the server name, password, and other basic options, that you can adjust quickly through the interface. If you prefer full control, you can switch to the Text Editor to edit the configuration file’s contents directly.
5. In the Commandline Manager, select the command line you want to activate. Most control panels provide at least two options: a default command line for standard server operation and a modded command line for servers running custom content or additional features. Choosing the appropriate line ensures the server launches with the correct parameters and behavior.
Press Modify on the command line you want to use, then adjust the available settings such as the server name, password, and other launch parameters. You can also choose which mods and configuration files should load with that command line. When you’re finished making changes, select Apply at the bottom to save and activate your updated command line.
