<p>This will start the Evennia <em>Connection wizard</em>. From the menu, select to add
your game to the Evennia Game Index. Follow the prompts and don’t forget to
save your new settings in the end. Use <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">quit</span></code> at any time if you change your
mind.</p>

<div><p>The wizard will create a new file <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">mygame/server/conf/connection_settings.py</span></code>
with the settings you chose. This is imported from the end of your main
settings file and will thus override it. You can edit this new file if you
want, but remember that if you run the wizard again, your changes may get
over-written.</p>

<p>If you don’t want to use the wizard (maybe because you already have the client installed from an
earlier version), you can also configure your index entry in your settings file
(<codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">mygame/server/conf/settings.py</span></code>). Add the following:</p>
<spanclass="s1">'listing_contact'</span><spanclass="p">:</span><spanclass="s2">"dummy@dummy.com"</span><spanclass="p">,</span><spanclass="c1"># not publicly shown.</span>
<spanclass="c1"># 'game_name': 'MyGame', # set only if different than settings.SERVERNAME</span>
<spanclass="p">}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Of these, the <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">game_status</span></code>, <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">short_description</span></code> and <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">listing_contact</span></code> are
required. The <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">listing_contact</span></code> is not publicly visible and is only meant as a
last resort if we need to get in touch with you over any listing issue/bug (so
far this has never happened).</p>
<p>If <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">game_name</span></code> is not set, the <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">settings.SERVERNAME</span></code> will be used. Use empty strings
(<codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">''</span></code>) for optional fields you don’t want to specify at this time.</p>

Non-public games are moved to the bottom of the index since there is no way
