'''FiveM''' is a modification framework for [[Grand Theft Auto V]] (GTA V), developed by Cfx.re. It allows players to access customized multiplayer servers and experiences, providing an alternative to the standard [[GTA Online]] mode. FiveM enables server owners to create personalized game modes, maps, and scripts, fostering a diverse and creative gaming community.

==Overview==
FiveM was created to enhance the multiplayer experience of GTA V by allowing users to play on dedicated servers with custom content. Unlike the official GTA Online mode, FiveM does not rely on Rockstar Games' servers and instead uses a separate network. This separation enables modders and developers to implement features that are not available in the base game.

==Features==
FiveM offers a wide range of features that contribute to its popularity among gamers and developers:

* '''Custom Scripts''': Server owners can implement unique scripts to modify gameplay mechanics, introduce new functionalities, or automate server management tasks. Resources like [https://justscripts.net/ JustScripts.net] provide a variety of FiveM scripts catering to different gameplay styles and administrative needs.

* '''Custom Maps''': FiveM supports the integration of custom maps, allowing for entirely new environments or modifications to the existing game world. [https://kingmaps.net/ KingMaps.net] offers a collection of FiveM maps that enhance the gaming experience with new locations and design elements.

* '''Anticheat Solutions''': To maintain a fair gaming environment, FiveM supports anticheat systems that detect and prevent cheating activities. [https://fiveguard.net/ FiveGuard.net] provides specialized anticheat services designed specifically for FiveM servers, helping server owners protect their communities.

* '''Scripting Languages''': FiveM supports multiple scripting languages, including [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] and [[C# (programming language)|C#]], enabling developers with different backgrounds to create custom content.

==Community and Gameplay==
The FiveM community is known for its creativity and diversity. Servers often focus on specific themes or gameplay styles, such as:

* '''Role-Playing (RP) Servers''': These servers simulate real-life scenarios where players assume character roles, follow laws, and interact within a structured society. RP servers are among the most popular in FiveM, offering immersive experiences that mimic professions like law enforcement, medical services, and more.

* '''Freeroam Servers''': Players have the freedom to explore the game world without specific objectives or rules, allowing for casual and spontaneous interactions.

* '''Competitive Servers''': Focused on activities like racing, deathmatches, and other competitive game modes, these servers cater to players seeking fast-paced action.

* '''Custom Game Modes''': Innovative game modes created by the community, such as zombie survival, battle royale, or unique missions, provide fresh experiences outside the traditional GTA V gameplay.

==Development and Support==
FiveM is actively developed and maintained by Cfx.re, with frequent updates that improve stability, security, and functionality. The platform encourages community contributions, and developers can access extensive documentation and support forums to assist in creating custom content.

===Technical Aspects===
* '''Server Hosting''': FiveM servers can be hosted on various platforms, offering flexibility in terms of performance and scalability.
* '''Resource Management''': The framework uses a resource system to manage scripts and content, allowing for organized and efficient server management.
* '''Client Modifications''': Players need to install the FiveM client, which modifies the original GTA V game to connect to FiveM servers while preserving the integrity of the single-player and official multiplayer modes.

==Legal and Ethical Considerations==
FiveM operates independently of Rockstar Games and requires a legitimate copy of GTA V to function. While FiveM itself does not modify the original game files, its use of custom servers and content has raised questions regarding the terms of service set by Rockstar Games. Users should be aware of the following:

* '''Terms of Service Compliance''': Players must ensure they comply with Rockstar Games' terms of service to avoid potential account penalties.
* '''Modding Policies''': Rockstar Games has specific policies regarding modding, particularly in relation to online play. FiveM's separation from GTA Online aims to respect these policies by preventing interference with the official multiplayer experience.

==Impact on the Gaming Community==
FiveM has significantly impacted the GTA V community by extending the game's lifespan and fostering a creative environment. It has enabled content creators to produce videos and streams showcasing unique gameplay scenarios, contributing to the game's popularity on platforms like [[YouTube]] and [[Twitch]].

==Related Platforms and Tools==
* '''[https://justscripts.net/ JustScripts.net]''': A resource for FiveM scripts, offering a wide range of modifications to enhance server functionality and player experience.
* '''[https://kingmaps.net/ KingMaps.net]''': Provides custom maps for FiveM, allowing server owners to introduce new environments and scenarios.
* '''[https://fiveguard.net/ FiveGuard.net]''': An anticheat solution designed specifically for FiveM servers to maintain fair play.

==Reception==
FiveM has received positive feedback for its flexibility and the freedom it offers players and developers. The platform's ability to provide unique experiences has been praised, although it operates in a complex legal landscape due to modding policies.
