Generate Structure

Launch your server once with the GameLabs mod active to initialize the required directory paths.
2

Configure Identification

In the Game Panel File Manager, navigate to /profiles/GameLabs/ and open the missionId.cfg file. Input your unique Server ID provided by the CFTools dashboard and save the file.
3

Establish the RCON Bridge

Within the CFTools web interface, navigate to your server’s connection settings. Input your Server IP and the specific RCON Port and Password defined within your serverDZ.cfg.

Restart and Validate

Strategic Security Features

One of the most powerful advantages of CFTools is the Shared Banlist feature. When enabled, your server will automatically intercept and kick any player who has been blacklisted across the wider CFTools network for confirmed cheating or malicious behavioral patterns. This proactive defense significantly reduces the workload for your localized moderation team.
use the dashboard to monitor player engagements. This data is important for identifying potential “cheater” behavior, such as suspicious kill distances or rapid engagement sequences that deviate from standard survival mechanics.
