Running a Duckside server can be an exciting experience, giving you the freedom to customize gameplay and create the perfect environment for your community. With GG Host as your provider, you have access to powerful and user-friendly tools to manage your server’s settings.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the GG Host server control panel so you can access and update your Duckside server settings with ease.

Step 1: Initial Server Setup

To set up your server, provide us with a few important details:

  • Server Name: Choose a unique and recognizable name. Use underscores instead of spaces and avoid special characters.

  • Admin’s Steam ID (For PC – Optional): This 17-digit number grants you admin privileges directly in-game.

  • Admin’s EOS ID (For Console – Optional): This unique alphanumeric string grants you admin access in the console version of Duckside.

Once these details are submitted, GG Host will prepare your server. You’ll then be able to customize everything via the TCAdmin control panel. You can adjust these settings anytime by stopping the server and editing the fields.

Step 2: Accessing the Server Control Panel

To modify your server settings, log in to the GG Host control panel powered by TCAdmin. This is your central hub for server management.

How to access it:

  1. Log In: Use the credentials sent to you in an email with the subject: Your Control Panel Login. (Note: These are not the same as your GG Host website login.)
    Log In to the Game Panel

  2. Navigate the Panel: On desktop/console, use the side menu. On mobile, click the GG Host logo. Go to Service Management > Game Services.
    Game Services

  3. Select Your Server: Locate your Duckside server under “Game Services” and click the underlined IP address to access its details.
    Select Your Server

Step 3: Modifying PvP/PvE Settings and Server Name via Config Editor

Once inside the service page:

  1. Stop the server before making changes.
  2. Go to Configuration Files.
  3. Open Config Editor next to the ServerSettings.ini file.
  4. On this screen, you can change the server name, update the Steam ID (or EOS ID if it’s a Duckside Console), and adjust the server’s PvP/PvE settings.
  5. After you make the changes, just click Save and restart the server.

Key Settings To Configure

Key settings to configure

  • Server Name: Must use underscores instead of spaces and avoid special characters like quotes or apostrophes.

  • Admin EOS ID (Console): String of numbers/letters starting with 000. Double-check accuracy.

  • Admin Steam ID (PC): 17-digit number starting with 765. Ensure there are no extra spaces when pasting.

  • Server Password: This lets you restrict access so only players who know the password can log in.

  • PvE Mode: Choose whether PVP is allowed across the whole map or only in the central area.

After editing:

  • Save the Config: Double-check for typos or extra spaces.

  • Restart the Server: Changes only take effect after a restart. Always stop first, edit, then restart.

Step 4: In-Game Admin Access

If your Steam ID/EOS ID is set correctly and you are the assigned admin:

  1. Launch Duckside and join your server.

  2. Use the admin access shortcut:

    • PC: Press F10

    • Xbox (XSX/XSS): Press LT, RT, X, and then A.

    • PlayStation 5: Press L2, R2, Square, and then Cross.

The required action is a sequential press of each button in order, without haste but without delay:

This opens the in-game admin panel, giving you access to advanced controls to fine-tune gameplay.
