Project name and description for the FiveM server list
Set sets sv_projectName to your community’s name and sets sv_projectDesc to one clear sentence about what makes the server worth joining. If either is missing, the server shows an error at startup and may not be listed. Keep the name a name (no feature lists — non-compliant names are cut off), write the description as a sentence, and if you are whitelisted use sv_appearAllowlisted with sv_allowlistInstructions so players know how to get in.
In the FiveM server list, most players decide in a second whether to click. What they read is your project name and your project description. Both are required for listing, both have rules, and most servers waste them on tag spam.
#The lines
sets sv_projectName "Harbor City RP"
sets sv_projectDesc "Serious roleplay with 40 custom jobs, a player-run economy and weekly events."
# whitelisted servers
sets sv_appearAllowlisted true
sets sv_allowlistInstructions "Apply in our Discord: discord.gg/harborcity"sets (not set) publishes the value in the server’s info so the list can show it. sv_appearAllowlisted shows a lock icon; the instructions appear in the server browser.
#Cfx.re’s rules in plain words
- Project name: the name of your server or community — not a list, and no tags. Non-compliant names are cut off.
- Project description: written as a sentence.
- Both missing or empty: a startup error and possibly no listing.
Colour codes and hostname details: server name and colours.
#Writing a description that works
| Weak | Strong |
|---|---|
| “Best RP server | Custom scripts | Join now” | “Serious roleplay with a player-run economy and a 24/7 staffed police department.” |
| “Drift server with cars” | “Tandem drift and touge on 30 tuned cars, with weekly leaderboards.” |
| “New server looking for players” | “Fresh economy launched this month — own a business from day one.” |
Lead with what is specific to you, keep it readable in one glance, and match the language to your locale. Tags carry the keywords — see tags and locale.
#The rest of the listing
The icon and banners do the visual work next to your text: server icon (96×96 PNG) and detail and connecting banners.
