ASKA: Create a Server Token (GSLT)

Learn how to create a Steam server token with the correct app ID for your ASKA game server and add it in ZapX → Learn more

Introduction

For your ASKA game server to start properly and be discoverable by your friends, it needs a Steam Game Server Login Token, or GSLT for short. This lets your server sign in to Steam without a Steam client running. In this guide, we’ll show you how to create the token, what to look out for when entering the app ID, and how to add it to your server.

Requirements

You can create the token for free using your own Steam account. Valve has a few requirements for your account:

It must not be suspended or have a community ban.
It must not be a Limited Account. A Steam account is generally limited until you have spent at least 5 USD in the Steam Store.
It must have a valid phone number linked to it.
It must own the game you’re creating the token for, in this case ASKA.

You need a separate token for each server. If you run multiple ASKA servers, create a separate token for each one.

Create a token

Open Steam’s game server account management page: steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers and sign in to your Steam account.
Enter 1898300 as the app ID. This is the app ID for the game ASKA.
Optionally, enter a note (memo), such as ZapX ASKA Server. This will help you identify the token later if you have more than one.
Create the account. Steam will then show your new login token in the list.
Copy the token.

Warning

Use app ID 1898300, not 3246670. SteamDB and similar sites list app ID 3246670 right next to it. This is the “ASKA Dedicated Server” tool, not the game. Your server won’t start properly with a token for this app ID.

Important

Treat your token like a password. It’s linked to your Steam account. Don’t share it with anyone or post it publicly, including in screenshots of your console or configuration.

Add the token to your server

In ZapX, open your ASKA server and go to the Configuration tab.
Under Startup Parameters, enter the copied token in the Steam Server Token field. This field is marked as required.
Click Save, then restart your server using Restart Now.

The next time it starts, your server will automatically write the token to its server_properties.txt configuration file. You don’t need to enter the token there manually, because the value in your ZapX configuration overwrites that line every time the server starts.

Check that everything worked

After restarting, take a look at your server’s console. If the token is missing, the console will show a warning on startup telling you to create a token with app ID 1898300. With a valid token, your server will sign in to Steam and open its session. Your friends can then join. See our guide Connect to the server to learn how.

Tip

If your server doesn’t appear in the game despite having a token, check the Steam page to make sure the token was created for app ID 1898300. Using the wrong app ID is the most common mistake.

Replace a token

If you’ve generated a new token or deleted your token on the Steam page, the old token is no longer valid. Enter the new token in the Steam Server Token field, save, and restart your server.

Conclusion

Your ASKA server is now ready for its first start. To continue setting it up, see our guide Server Configuration. If you have any other questions, our support team is available every day! 🙂

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The Steam Game Server Login Token (GSLT) lets your server sign in to Steam without a Steam client running. If the token is missing, the console displays a warning on startup.

Use app ID 1898300, which is for the game ASKA. Don’t use 3246670, which is for the ASKA Dedicated Server tool. Your server won’t start properly with a token for that app ID.

Go to steamcommunity.com/dev/managegameservers and sign in to your Steam account. Enter app ID 1898300 and optionally add a note, then create the account.
