Custom Config Overrides

Place configs in overrides/game/csgo/:

overrides/game/csgo/
├── cfg/MatchZy/
└── addons/

✔ These files persist through all updates ✔ MatchZy configs remain untouched ✔ Plugin configs remain consistent

🗄️ MatchZy Database (Docker)

• Reads overrides/.../MatchZy/database.json during install
• Creates a MySQL container with the specified credentials
• Exposes port defined in your JSON file
• Automatically rewrites MySqlHost to your machine IP
• Ensures all server instances connect correctly

Docker must be running before installation.
