# Server settings

{% hint style="warning" %}
The GitBook based NorthstarWiki has been replaced in favour of the [NorthstarDocs](https://docs.northstar.tf/) where this wiki has been integrated.

Check it out here: <https://docs.northstar.tf/Wiki/>

The same page on the new wiki should be located here: <https://docs.northstar.tf/Wiki/hosting-a-server-with-northstar/server-settings/>
{% endhint %}

You can edit these files to change settings for your dedicated and listening server:

* `ns_startup_args_dedi.txt`\
  contains the [startup arguments](https://r2northstar.gitbook.io/r2northstar-wiki/hosting-a-server-with-northstar/server-settings/startup-args), [ConVars](https://r2northstar.gitbook.io/r2northstar-wiki/hosting-a-server-with-northstar/server-settings/convars) and [playlist vars](https://r2northstar.gitbook.io/r2northstar-wiki/hosting-a-server-with-northstar/server-settings/playlistvar)
* `R2Northstar\mods\Northstar.CustomServers\mod.json`\
