## Manual Configuration

If you prefer to edit your server's settings manually, you can do so directly in the Server Files tab by editing the `server.cfg` file.

### Basic Server Information

These settings define your server’s name, description, and maximum player count:

```language-ini
sv_hostname "Your Server Name"      # Sets the server name
sv_maxclients 8                  # Limits the maximum number of players (Default: 32)
sv_licenseKey "your_license_key"     # Required for authentication
```

### Server Rules and Behavior

These settings help enforce gameplay rules and control server behavior:

```language-ini
onesync_enabled 1                    # Enables OneSync for better synchronization
sv_scriptHookAllowed 0     # Prevents unauthorized script injections (0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled)
sv_enforceGameBuild 1436              # Forces a specific game build for compatibility
```

### Resource Management

To ensure resources load correctly, you need to include them in the configuration:

```language-ini
ensure essentialmode                  # Loads a core framework (if used)
ensure some_script                     # Loads a custom script
ensure some_map                        # Loads a custom map
```

### Logging and Debugging

Enable logging and debugging for troubleshooting:

```language-ini
sv_logfile "server.log"               # Saves logs to a file
sv_debugMode 1                        # Enables debugging mode
```

### Permissions and Security

Control admin privileges and access levels:

```language-ini
add_ace group.admin command allow     # Grants admins access to all commands
add_principal identifier.steam:123456 group.admin  # Assigns admin role to a specific Steam ID
```

## Conclusion

Properly configuring your RedM server ensures stability, security, and a great player experience. By adjusting settings for player limits, server behavior, resource management, and security, you can tailor your server to fit your needs. Regularly updating and optimizing these settings will help maintain smooth performance.
