A custom server icon helps your RedM server stand out in the server list and makes it easier for players to recognize your community. This guide walks you through preparing the icon, uploading it to your server, and enabling it in the server configuration.

Important

Please ensure that you have followed the Getting Started with your RedM Server guide before proceeding with the following steps.


#Choosing a Server Icon

Before uploading the icon, it must meet RedM’s requirements:

  • Image size: 96 × 96 pixels

  • File format: PNG (.png)

You can use an image editing program such as GIMP, or an online image tool, to resize and convert an existing image. Once your icon meets these requirements, save the file and note the file name for later use.


#Uploading your Server Icon to the Server

Once you have setup your server via txAdmin with a framework, you will be able to add resources to your server.

  1. Go to your Shockbyte Control Panel.

  2. Navigate to the Files tab and locate the following directory: /txData/RedMBasicServerCFXDefault_XXXXX.base/. The "XXXXX" represents the ID of your template.

  3. Select the Upload File(s) button and upload your Server Icon file.


#Activating the Server Icon in txAdmin

For the server icon to be added to your RedM server officially, it must be added to the server.cfg file. You can manage this file easily through the CFG Editor in the txAdmin panel.

  1. Go to your Shockbyte Control Panel.

  2. Launch txAdmin. Launching txAdmin from your FiveM or RedM server

  3. Navigate to the CFG Editor area and add the line: load_server_icon myLogo.png.

  4. Click Save File at the bottom of the page.
