steamport =8766;  //default 8766, needs to be unique if multiple serves on same boxsteamqueryport         =22816; //default 27016, needs to be unique if multiple servers on same box

This is very important for all admins and players as the last beta version had massive issues with weaponholders and deletevehicle not working correct.
