Convars and ACE permissions
The server.cfg settings and permissions Hydra reads.
Convars
Always use set, never setr or sets, so these are never sent to players.
| Convar | Purpose |
|---|---|
hydra_hub_public_url | The hub's public address, for live screens and clips: https://hydra-ac.com. |
hydra_appeal_url | Where banned players appeal, shown under the ban message. |
hydra_debug | "true" prints every routine message to the console, not just warnings and actions. |
hydra_mode | shadow or live, used only until the hub sets the mode. |
ensure HydraAC
set hydra_hub_public_url "https://hydra-ac.com"
set hydra_appeal_url "https://discord.gg/your-server"ACE permissions
| ACE | Gives |
|---|---|
hydraac.admin | The in-game /hydra panel. |
hydraac.staffmode | The staff permission fallback for staff mode. |
hydraac.bypass | Skips movement and integrity checks entirely. For developers only. |
add_ace group.admin hydraac.admin allowhydraac.bypass is a blind spot like an exception. Give it to as few people as possible; staff mode is the better fit for staff.
