Getting Started

This wiki documents Game Server Panel as its own current product while preserving necessary attribution to its Open Game Panel origins.

First Read

What GSP Is

GSP is the control-plane web panel for game server administration. It coordinates server management, XML-based game templates, file operations, remote agents, user access, and dedicated modules such as Steam Workshop.

  1. Read the installation and prerequisites pages.
  2. Review the module inventory and identify the feature area you are working in.
  3. Inspect the current source files in Panel/Panel/modules/....
  4. Validate any XML or PHP changes before treating the work as complete.

Good Starting Points

  • Panel/Panel/modules/config_games/ for XML game templates and schema validation
  • Panel/Panel/modules/steam_workshop/ for Workshop administration and installs
  • Panel/Panel/modules/gamemanager/ for server lifecycle actions
  • Panel/Panel/modules/addonsmanager/ for legacy server-content workflows

Notes

  • pages marked with Needs Verification identify areas where the current source should be checked before making stronger claims
  • newer GSP behavior should override older inherited assumptions where the code confirms a difference
