Only change the IP if you’re using a server with multiple network interfaces, otherwise change the port only.

endpoint_add_tcp “0.0.0.0:30120”
endpoint_add_udp “0.0.0.0:30120”

set es_enableCustomData “1”
set mysql_connection_string “server=localhost;database=server;userid=root;password=”

These resources will start by default.

ensure mapmanager
ensure chat
ensure spawnmanager
ensure sessionmanager
ensure fivem
ensure hardcap
ensure ■■■■■■■
ensure scoreboard
ensure MyResourceName
start synn-loadscreen

start mysql-async
start essentialmode

This allows players to use scripthook-based plugins such as the legacy Lambda Menu.

Set this to 1 to allow scripthook. Do note that this does not guarantee players won’t be able to use external plugins.

Uncomment this and set a password to enable RCON. Make sure to change the password - it should look like rcon_password “YOURPASSWORD”

For example:

Or:

For example “en-US”, “fr-CA”, “nl-NL”, “de-DE”, “en-GB”, “pt-BR”

sets locale “fr-CA”

please DO replace root-AQ on the line ABOVE with a real language! :slight_smile:

Set an optional server info and connecting banner image url.

Size doesn’t matter, any banner sized image will be fine.

#sets banner_detail “https://url.to/image.png
#sets banner_connecting “https://url.to/image.png

Set your server’s hostname

sv_hostname “Th3-m0RpH3R Server”

Nested configs!
