For the first two lines of your server-settings.json you have to keep the "name" and "description" parts and replace the text on the right with your name/description. In general, always only replace the part to the right of the : colon.

Example:

Code: Select all

{
  "name": "Tsuhiki's Test",
  "description": "Test server",

Hey, so i was having the same problem as Tsuhiki, i have changed it as per your instructions and i am now getting a new error, <unspecified file>(2): expected ':' .
I would expect that that is referring to line 2 of the code but unsure of how to fix.

Try this.

Code: Select all

"Name of the game as it will appear in the game listing",
"Description of the game that will appear in the listing",

That bit is throwing off the format and causing errors.
