The Icon

For example:

The Login_Token
field is necessary to make your server visible to other players in the Internet server list. The token should be exactly 32 characters long.
You can manually create GSLTs while logged in with your Steam account at Steam Game Server Account Management
Other than making your server public, it provides the following benefits:
The Monetization

Unspecified
- use this if you don't know what to choose.None
- it means that your server doesn't have any monetization or donation options.NonGameplay
- your server has monetization options, but they don't affect gameplay. For example, color in chat or a special role in Discord.Monetized
- your server has monetization options that affect gameplay. For example, kits, vaults, or special items.Configuring the Bookmark Host property along with a Login Token enables the bookmark button. When players bookmark your server they can then find it in the Bookmarks page in-game. The Bookmarks page looks like this:
It's nice to have, but not necessary. To learn how to set up the Bookmark Host, check out the official documentation.
