Description

A table that defines the settings of a Steam game server, which you can pass in calls to stingray.Network.init_steam_server().

Note that for a steam server to visible globally (and not just on Steam), the gamedir must be set to a value that is registered at Valve, and the server_version must match the registered server version.
