How to Change the Server Name on Your American Truck Simulator Server

Last updated: September 18, 2026

The name players see in the Convoy lobby comes from the lobby_name value in your server's server_config.sii file.

Step 1: Stop the Server

In the NolimitHost Game Panel, select your ATS server and stop it from the Console page. The ATS server reads server_config.sii only at startup.

Step 2: Edit lobby_name

  1. In the left sidebar, click Files and open the ATS data folder (the one containing server_config.sii).
  2. Open server_config.sii and edit the lobby_name line, keeping the quotes: 
     server_config : _nameless.5f7.5dd0 {
  lobby_name: "My ATS Convoy Server"
 }
  3. Save the file.

Step 3: Start the Server

Start the server from the Console page. The new name appears in the Convoy lobby.

Other Text Fields

Setting Max length Purpose
lobby_name63Session name in the lobby.
description63Short description shown in the lobby.
welcome_message127Message shown to players when they connect.
password63Leave empty for a public session.
Important: Stick to plain ASCII text in these fields. Special or non-English characters can cause errors or appear garbled in the lobby.
Tip: A stable, recognisable name is more useful once your server has a GSLT, because players can then find you by name reliably.
