RedM is FiveM's counterpart for Red Dead Redemption 2: same publisher (Cfx.re), same free licence key, same txAdmin. To start a roleplay server you enable txAdmin, install a framework (VORP or RSG), connect it to a MySQL database, and players join from the RedM client with F8.
What you need
A Cfx.re account and free licence key (keymaster.fivem.net), a MySQL database, 4 GB to discover and 8 GB for a full roleplay framework. Each player needs Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC and the RedM client.
Steps
- Pick a plan on the RedM server page (Discovery Eco, 4 GB, 3-day free trial without a card) and paste the licence key during setup. In Settings > Server and licence you set name and max players (32 on our RedM plans).
- Settings > txAdmin: Enable txAdmin, start, Open txAdmin, Show the PIN, sign in with Cfx.re.
- Install a framework (VORP Core or RSG Core) by following its documentation; files go in
resources/. - More options > Databases > New database; add the connection string to
server.cfgand import the framework's.sql. - Settings > Resources enables, disables and restarts resources.
