Most of what players see in the FiveM server list comes from server.cfg. Edit it in txAdmin’s CFG Editor (see Open txAdmin) or in Files in the panel , then restart the server.
Name
Set the name in the SERVER_HOSTNAME field on the Startup tab, or with sv_hostname "My Server" in server.cfg. Colour codes such as ^1 work. Keep it readable; very long names or unusual symbols can stop the server from listing.
The short description under the name uses:
sets sv_projectName "My Roleplay City"
sets sv_projectDesc "Serious RP, whitelisted jobs, Filipino community"Tags and language
sets tags "roleplay, serious, economy"
sets locale "en-US"Tags are comma-separated words players can filter by. locale is a language code such as en-US or fil-PH; the default root-AQ means no language is set.
Logo
- Make a 96x96 PNG.
- Upload it to the main folder of your server, next to
server.cfg. - Add
load_server_icon myLogo.pngtoserver.cfg(use your file name) and restart.
Banner
- Make a 1865x250 PNG or JPG and host it anywhere that gives a direct image link.
- Add these lines with your link:
sets banner_detail "https://example.com/banner.png"
sets banner_connecting "https://example.com/banner.png"banner_detail shows on your server’s page in the list, banner_connecting on the loading screen.
Steam Web API key
Some frameworks and resources check players’ Steam accounts and need a Steam Web API key.
- Get one at steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey , signed in with Steam. Any domain name will do.
- Add
set steam_webApiKey "YOURKEY"toserver.cfgand restart.
Keep it private, like a password.
Not in the server list
- License key: the key must be valid and used by this server only. One key on two servers makes both glitch in the list. Keys bought from resellers are often stolen or revoked; make your own for free (see Set up your FiveM server).
- sv_master1: in
server.cfg, the line#sv_master1 ""must stay commented out with the#. Removing the#hides your server from the list on purpose. - Name: shorten it and remove odd symbols.
- Time: after a restart, give it a few minutes to appear.
Players can always join directly with connect <ip>:<port> in the F8 console. See Connect to your FiveM server.
