Community

Community is the neutral base lane for server owners starting with CrespoGuard:

  • Launcher/operator kit with templates.
  • modules.json is created by the operator and encrypted into System\Launcher\Config\config.bin.
  • Manual package updates by default.
  • Self-hosted relay path for encrypted login, IP bans, and rate limiting.
  • No server-specific config is included in the base operator kit.

Guard

Guard adds paid management and enforcement capabilities:

  • Relay dashboard.
  • HWID ban enforcement.
  • Announcements and admin actions.
  • Paid client-side combat features where configured.
  • Server IP masking through the configured relay path.

  • Higher player cap.
  • Multi-zone proxy support.
  • File logging.

Fortress

Fortress is for larger or geographically distributed deployments:

  • Highest published player cap.
  • Edge relay mode.
