TF2 Classified Server Setup Guide


This guide covers setting up and configuring your TF2 Classified dedicated server on Legion Hosting. TF2 Classified (formerly TF2 Classic) is a community-driven revival of classic Team Fortress 2 with refreshed visuals, new game modes, weapons, and maps. For admin tools and RCON commands, see our TF2 Classified Admin Commands guide.

What is TF2 Classified?

Team Fortress 2 Classified is a free, standalone Source engine mod built on TF2's original inspirations and tone. It features refreshed visuals, new game modes, new weapons, additional teams, and expanded custom server tools. The game uses SteamCMD for server installation (App ID 3557020) and requires the live TF2 dedicated server files (App ID 232250) as a dependency.

First Start

  1. Log in to GPanel at gpanel.legionhosting.net
  2. Select your TF2 Classified server from the server list
  3. Go to the Startup tab and review your settings before first launch
  4. Click Start to launch the server
  5. The server will initialize and load the default map — watch the console for startup progress
Ports: Ports are randomly assigned unless you have a private IP. Your server's assigned port is shown in GPanel on your server's main page.

Server Configuration

The main server configuration file is located at:

tf2classified/cfg/server.cfg

Key settings you can configure in server.cfg:

Setting Description Example
hostname Server name shown in the server browser hostname "My TF2C Server"
sv_password Password required to join (leave empty for public) sv_password "secret123"
rcon_password Remote console password for admin commands rcon_password "myrcon"
sv_maxrate Maximum bandwidth rate per client sv_maxrate 0
sv_pure Enforce file consistency (0=off, 1=on, 2=strict) sv_pure 1
mp_timelimit Map time limit in minutes mp_timelimit 30
mp_maxrounds Maximum rounds before map change mp_maxrounds 5
sv_lan LAN-only mode (0=internet, 1=LAN only) sv_lan 0

Map Rotation

Configure your map rotation by editing the map cycle file:

tf2classified/cfg/mapcycle.txt

Add one map per line. Example:

ctf_2fort
cp_dustbowl
pl_upward
koth_viaduct
cp_gravelpit

How to Connect

Via Server Browser

  1. Launch TF2 Classified from Steam
  2. Open the Server Browser
  3. Search for your server by name or use the Favorites tab
  4. Select your server and click Connect

Via Console

  2. Type: connect YOUR_IP:PORT
Finding Your Server IP: Your server's IP and port are shown on GPanel's main page. For details, see our How to Find Your Server IP and Port guide.
