Config JSON (r5rdev_config.json)

Most modern configuration should be done in platform/r5rdev_config.json. This file is where you place your Host API Key generated from the control panel.
Ensure stats_discord_webhook_player_count and stats_discord_webhook_matches_enabled are configured here or in playlists_r5_patch.txt to enable Discord integrations.
