This RAGE Multiplayer (RAGE:MP) server guide lists every FREAKHOSTING help page for RAGE:MP, the GTA V multiplayer platform. Your server is configured through one file, conf.json, which you edit in Files. The only Startup variable is Max Players. Your gamemode lives in packages (server scripts) and client_packages (client scripts and UI). New here? Start with getting started.
