Bridge Config.xml

The GameServer half of the Bridge add-on. It watches gameplay outcomes and pushes them to BridgeServer, which stores them, streams them, and announces them in Discord.

File Location#

Data/Plugins/Bridge/Config.xml

Loaded once at GameServer startup. If the file is missing, the plugin runs with its defaults (enabled, 127.0.0.1:55980).

Schema#

<Bridge Enabled="1" Host="127.0.0.1" Port="55980" Key=""
        ChatExport="1" ConsoleLog="0" MobKillExport="0"/>

Attributes#

Attribute	Type	Default	Effect
`Enabled`	0/1	`1`	Master toggle. `0` = nothing is exported and no connection is made
`Host`	hostname/IP	`127.0.0.1`	Where BridgeServer is listening
`Port`	int	`55980`	BridgeServer's ingest port. Must match `IngestPortTCP` in BridgeServer.ini
`Key`	string (up to 32 chars)	empty	Shared key presented when connecting. Must match `SharedKey` in BridgeServer.ini. Empty on both sides = any GameServer accepted
`ChatExport`	0/1	`1`	`1` = public chat messages are exported. Global `/post` messages are always exported
`ConsoleLog`	0/1	`0`	`1` = echo login/logout to the GameServer console. Debug aid
`MobKillExport`	0/1	`0`	`1` = export every monster kill. This is a firehose; boss kills are exported separately regardless

Boss classes#

Boss kills are filtered by the shared list in Data\Plugins\BossClasses.xml (used by the Bridge exporter and the Achievement plugin alike). This file has no boss list of its own.

<BossClasses>
    <Boss Class="43"  Comment="Golden Budge Dragon"/>
    <Boss Class="275" Comment="Kundun (Kalima 7)"/>
</BossClasses>

Empty or missing file = no boss-kill events anywhere. Class numbers come from Monster.xml. The shipped file lists every Season 6 golden (43, 53, 54, 78-83, 493-502), the invasion bosses (42 Red Dragon, 55 Death King, 135 White Wizard, 476 Cursed Santa, 561 Medusa) and the world bosses (275 Kundun, 295 Erohim, 349 Balgass, 361 Nightmare, 364 Maya, 459 Selupan, 77 Phoenix of Darkness).

What Gets Exported#

Category	Events
Combat	Player kills, boss kills, all monster kills (opt-in)
Loot and economy	Rare drops (excellent, ancient or socketed ground drops), personal shop sales, sell-post listings, completed trades, chaos mix results
Progression	Resets, grand resets, master resets, level ups
Events	Blood Castle, Devil Square, Chaos Castle, invasions and Castle Siege starting and ending, plus winners
Social	Global `/post` messages, public chat (opt-in), logins and logouts
Gauges	Online count total and per map every 30 seconds, event schedule with countdowns every 60 seconds

Important Behavior#

The game is never made to wait. Events are handed off and the GameServer moves on immediately. If BridgeServer is down, restarting, or slow, the GameServer keeps running at full speed and drops its own pending events rather than stalling.
Events produced while BridgeServer is unreachable are lost. The connection retries on its own, but there is no backlog replay - a Bridge outage is a gap in the feed, never a gap in the game.
The GameServer connects outward. BridgeServer never opens a connection into your game network.
Rare drops are ground drops only, filtered to excellent, ancient or socketed items - a full loot log is not exported.
Chat volume. ChatExport="1" sends every public chat line. On a busy server this dwarfs everything else in the history store; /post alone is usually what you want relayed.
Restart after changing this file. It is read at startup.

Common Issues#

No events arrive - Enabled="0", BridgeServer is not running, or Host/Port do not match IngestPortTCP
BridgeServer logs a rejected connection - Key here and SharedKey in BridgeServer.ini differ; they must be identical (or empty on both sides)
No boss announcements - Data\Plugins\BossClasses.xml is missing or empty, or the class numbers do not match the monsters actually spawned on your server
Discord is drowning in messages - MobKillExport="1" or ChatExport="1", or DiscordRelayAll=1 in BridgeServer.ini
The plugin never loads and nothing is logged - the axiom-bridge module is not on your license; that is a silent skip by design
