 Under this tab, you can set the server's name, the port it will use and whether or not it is password protected. The server's capacity and auto-start limits can also be set here, along with automatic ban settings to prevent egregious teamkilling.
-While forwarding the game's port is not necessary, doing so will allow it to be visible on websites such as [https://stats.spikx.net/mwll.html Spooky's online server browser] and via the MWLL Server Beacon bot on [[Discord]].
+Forwarding the game's port (default UDP 64100) in your router and open up the same port in firewalls will be needed for internet players to connect to your server.

 Choose the maps you wish to enter into the rotation by selecting them, then clicking Add to Rotation. All the maps available to your server are categorized by game mode, so double-check that you are adding maps from the desired game mode. From there, you can click an added map and configure the settings directly for that map, including spawn timers, respawn limits, income scaling and more.
-The download URL is used for custom maps to tell the game where to download the map from when a player trying to connect to your server does not have it. You can find the main repository of maps at the Clan Jade Wolf website [http://clanjadewolf.net/maps/ here]; simply find the custom map(s) you are using, copy the link for it and paste it into its download URL bar.
