This guide will walk you through each variable under the Connection menu using the GGServers panel.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Stop Your MX Bikes Server<\/h3>\n<p>To successfully overwrite core server attributes like its name, maximum player slot count, or passwords, the server instance must be offline. Access your <a href=\"https:\/\/panel.ggservers.com\/\">GGServers Control Panel<\/a>, select your MX Bikes instance, and click the <strong>Stop<\/strong> button.

Adjust the following fields to customize your server environment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Whitelist Filename \/ Blacklist Filename:<\/strong> Establishes the text files (default: <code>whitelist.txt<\/code> and <code>blacklist.txt<\/code>) used to manage private access or restricted player blocks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server Name:<\/strong> Input the public title for your server as you want it to appear within the in-game multiplayer server browser listing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server MOTD:<\/strong> Sets the custom greeting Message of the Day shown to riders upon connection. You can use <code>\/r<\/code> to break text across multiple lines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server Location:<\/strong> Allows you to specify the geographical region info to show players their relative proximity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server Password:<\/strong> Enter a password here to make your server private. Leave it completely blank if you want an open public lobby.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Admin Password:<\/strong> Defines the password used to authenticate as a server administrator via the in-game chat commands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Player Limit:<\/strong> Sets the maximum slot threshold of concurrent racers allowed on the track at one time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Server Bandwidth:<\/strong> Adjusts the allocation performance limits for simulation packet delivery. Options scale from <strong>0<\/strong> (Very low) up to <strong>4<\/strong> (Very high). Medium (2) is default.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Client Ping Limit:<\/strong> Establishes the maximum allowed latency for connecting riders. Enter <strong>0<\/strong> to disable the cap or set a specific limit (e.g., 250) to kick high-lag connections automatically.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disable Chat:<\/strong> Toggles public text interactions. Set to <strong>0<\/strong> (False) to leave text chat active or <strong>1<\/strong> (True) to restrict chat solely to administrative broadcasts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The GGServers automation layout updates and applies your values automatically as you finalize edits inside each input field.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"829\" src=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31-1024x829.png\" alt=\"Configuring Connection Tab Options in MX Bikes\" class=\"wp-image-19017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31-1024x829.png 1024w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31-300x243.png 300w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31-768x622.png 768w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31-50x40.png 50w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31-60x49.png 60w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31-100x81.png 100w, https:\/\/ggservers.com\/knowledgebase\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-31.png 1225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fine-tune server identification, limits, security parameters, and network modes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Start Your Server<\/h3>\n<p>Return to the main dashboard module and click <strong>Start<\/strong>.
