I'm having server_name config issues!

Server_name is not loading/is default

The likely cause can be multiple things. Please follow the checklist below:

Editing wrong config

The most likely cause is that you are editing the wrong config, such as the template config. Below is the correct paths of the configs, <port> should be replaced with the port you are running LocalAdmin on.

• Windows: AppData\Roaming\SCP Secret Laboratory\config\<port>\config_gameplay.txt
  • You can press Windows button + R and enter AppData\Roaming\SCP Secret Laboratory\config, This will directly take you to the config folder.
• Linux: .config/SCP Secret Laboratory/config/<port>/config_gameplay.txt under the user you are running LocalAdmin in.

Config format issue

A likely cause is invalid formatting, causing the server name to go to the default value. Check your config_gameplay and make sure it is properly formatted as shown below:

✅ Good Format:

server_name: My Server Name
           /|\ space

❌ Bad Format:

server_name:My Server Name
           /|\ no space

Over character limit

the server_name config has a hard limit of 5000 characters, each textmesh pro tag counts as how many characters are in it, they are not excluded from the limit, or count as one. For example <color=red> counts as 11 characters.
