Matchzy Overtime Manager

Step 2 Setting Up Environment Variables 🌍

Before running Matchzy Overtime Manager (MOM), you need to configure your environment variables.

What are Environment Variables?

Environment variables store configuration settings outside the source code, making it easy to adjust settings without modifying the program.

Instructions

  1. Copy the example environment file:
Terminal window
cp .env.example .env
  1. Modify .env to match your server configuration: Open .env in a text editor and update the following values:
# Server 1 configuration
server1_rcon_host="127.0.0.1"
server1_rcon_port="27015"
server1_rcon_password="your_rcon_password"


# Server 2 configuration
server2_rcon_host="127.0.0.1"
server2_rcon_port="27016"
server2_rcon_password="your_second_rcon_password"


# Maximum number of rounds allowed before calculating the winner
max_rounds=30 # Adjust as needed

The max_rounds variable determines how many rounds are played before declaring a winner; for example, setting it to 24 means no overtime is allowed, 30 triggers one overtime period, 36 allows for two overtimes, and so on.

  1. Save the file and ensure it is correctly formatted.

Once the .env file is configured, proceed to Step 3: Starting MOM.
