Server.cfg usage

    So things have been a nightmare since I moved my servers from a VDS to a dedicated box. The Navmesh process is causing the TCA to choke out the process and reboot the server or even shut it down. So I need to add +nav_grid 1 to the startup. Thing is with my host I don't have direct access to the command line. I can only edit specific lines through their editing tool. What they are telling me to do to edit is to go to "server\server\cfg\server.cfg" and paste it in there. I've never messed with this file before and I don't want to screw anything up before I know what I'm doing. All it has in there is the fps lock they put in from the VDS I was on before.

    So to the point of the post. Will this work. And how to I edit this file? Is it a continuing line or is each entry on its own line?

    Yes, that is the correct file and one command/setting per line.

    Thank you. One more question. If things are set in here, any changes made through console will not change them correct?

    Anything you change in the console would be a temporary override until the server is restarted or the server.cfg is reloaded from the console. The server.cfg is generally only read once on server startup.
