Help for server owners

For game server administrators: you get a ready-made website for your game server with a shop and community.

How to link a server to your account (hostname code or server ID and token), set up description, donations, and order delivery on rankplay.ru.

Linking a server to your account

Sign in with Steam. The server may already be listed or appear after a submission is reviewed; use one of the options below to unlock owner tools.

Ownership proof via hostname code (A2S)

Recommended. In the owner panel, open prove server ownership: pick the game, enter the IP and game port (and a separate query port if required for A2S). We query the server; on success you receive a code such as RP-XXXXXX. Put that code in your server’s visible name in-game (the hostname shown in the server browser), then click Verify on the proof page. Each new code request replaces the previous one — only the latest code counts.

Link with server ID and token

If you submitted a server from a game page, the confirmation screen shows a numeric server ID and token. In the owner panel, use the “Link with server ID and token” section. You can also read the numeric ID from the server URL (e.g. /servers/123 → 123).

After a successful link, the server appears under “My servers” and the tools below become available.

Server owner panel

The /owner section is only available when signed in. For each claimed server you see:

Description, media, and news

In the panel, each server has:

Players see up-to-date rules, wipes, events, and contacts without editing HTML on the game side.

You can add donation products: name, price in minor currency units (e.g. kopeks for RUB), currency, notes, “active” flag.

For players to pay, configure your own Robokassa merchant for the server (MerchantLogin and both passwords). Funds settle to your Robokassa account; in the Robokassa cabinet set Result/Success/Fail URLs exactly as shown in the panel hint (site-wide URLs — our backend resolves the merchant per payment and verifies with your password #2).

Each server has its own donate shop URL, for example https://rankplay.ru/servers/123/shop (use your numeric server id instead of 123). Players open checkout from the server page or the game listing.

The platform charges commission on donation sales (see monetization settings); if debt accrues, the shop may lock until commission is paid via the platform Robokassa merchant (configured in .env).

Vote shop and RCON

Items for player points (from votes) are configured in the platform catalog; players spend points on the server page.

To grant in-game perks automatically, configure RCON in the panel: host, port, password, timeout. The backend sends commands to your game server for confirmed vote-shop orders. Keep the RCON password secret and firewall the port.

If RCON is missing or commands do not match your mod — use the delivery queue and fulfill manually (see below).

Server forum

Each claimed server has a Forum section: enable/disable and bans by internal user id (users.id), duration and reason. On topic pages you can pin and lock threads, delete whole topics; per message you have the same actions as the author, plus you may edit or delete any posts and titles — that is the game server staff’s responsibility.

Public forum URL: /servers/{id}/forum (after enabling, a link also appears on the server card).

Order delivery (delivery jobs)

The panel includes a delivery jobs table: order status, attempt count, and error text if automatic delivery failed. Use it to see RCON, timeout, or queue issues.

For prolonged outages, check game server availability, RCON settings, and your logs; contact platform support with the order ID if needed.
