Add a Country Flag to Your Garry's Mod Server

Published 9 June 2026 · By Host Havoc Technical Support Team

Adding a country flag helps players identify your server's region in the browser. The flag is set with the sv_location cvar in server.cfg. For other server.cfg settings, see Change Server Name.

Steps

1. Log in to the Game Control Panel and navigate to your server.

2. Stop your server.

3. Click Configuration Files.

4. Open server.cfg in the text editor.

5. Add the following line, replacing the region code with your location:

sv_location us

Other accepted codes include eu, gb, au, and other standard region identifiers.

6. Save and close the file.

7. Start your server. A flag will now be displayed next to your server in the in-game browser.
