Quick Start

  • Register on the Shadowplayers panel
  • Download artifacts from artifacts.peakly.gg
  • Install artifacts on your server
  • Configure your server.cfg
  • Start your server and link it using the Server ID from console
  • Add players through the panel

Installation

1. Prerequisites

  • Download and install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022 from this link.
  • Disable Windows Defender or any antivirus software you have installed. This step is crucial for the proper functioning of Shadowplayers.

2. Artifacts Installation

After registering and receiving your players, download the required version of artifacts from artifacts.peakly.gg and install them on your server.

3. Server Configuration

Add the following line to your server.cfg file:

start [PLAYERSPOOF]

Proxy Configuration & Connection Issues

If you're using a proxy or experiencing server offline/connection errors, add this line to your server.cfg:

set peakly_protect_jsons false

Note: This command now also helps resolve server offline errors and various connection issues.

Server Linking Process

New Linking Method (Server ID)

  1. Install the latest Shadowplayers artifacts on your server
  2. Start your server and wait for the console to display the Server ID
  3. Look for a message similar to this in your console:
[PEAKLY.GG] Server started successfully, your ServerID is: ab2c2272-2186-4283-a0b1-a6f1fc4f73b3
  1. Copy the Server ID (the highlighted part above)
  2. Go to the Shadowplayers panel and click "Link Server"
  3. Enter the Server ID in the "Link Server" window

Important: Do NOT use the CFX code - only use the Server ID from the console.

Player Management

Important: Each time you modify the player count, you must first set the quantity to 0, then set your desired amount. This ensures proper player management and prevents conflicts.

TX Button

The TX button in the panel allows players to also appear in txAdmin (both in-game and web interface). Enable this button (turn it green) if you want players to be visible in txAdmin.

Setup Process

  1. Install the latest Shadowplayers artifacts on your server
  2. Start your server and wait for the console to display the unique Server ID
  3. Go to the Shadowplayers panel and click "Link Server"
  4. Enter the Server ID shown in your server console (not the CFX code)
  5. Once linked, your server will appear in the panel and remain connected
  6. Set player count to 0 first, then use the slider to choose the number of players and click "Apply Changes"

Connection Time

Please note that players typically take approximately 5 minutes to join the server after being sent from the panel.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Installation Errors

Server ID doesn't appear in console

You're not installing the artifacts correctly or modifying them in the wrong directory. Make sure to follow the installation guide exactly.

"DLL Injected" message doesn't appear

This happens because you haven't disabled your antivirus or haven't installed the Visual C++ Redistributable (see prerequisites section). If you disabled antivirus after installing artifacts, reinstall them as the antivirus may have corrupted the DLL files.

Connection Errors

"Error linking server"

You're using an incorrect Server ID. Make sure you're NOT using the CFX code and ARE using the Server ID that appears in your console.

"There are no players available"

Our system capacity is full at this moment. Please try again later.

"You don't have X players available for send"

You're trying to add more players than available in your account, or some players have timed out and need to reconnect (this can take a few minutes).

CNL Timeout Issues

If you experience CNL Timeout issues, try disabling IPv6 as described in the section below.

Solving CNL Timeout Issues

To solve potential CNL Timeout issues, it is recommended to disable IPv6. Choose your preferred method:

PowerShell Method

  1. Open PowerShell as an administrator
  2. Run the following command to disable IPv6:
Disable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "*" -ComponentID ms_tcpip6

To confirm that IPv6 has been disabled, run:

Get-NetAdapterBinding -ComponentID ms_tcpip6

The result should show as Disabled.

Manual Method

  • Open Windows Settings → Network & Internet → Advanced network settings
  • Open “More network adapter options” and right-click your active adapter → Properties
  • Uncheck “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)” and click OK
  • Restart your PC or at least the network adapter
