RedM

Overview

The RedM adapter connects OpenCore with Red Dead Redemption 2 servers running on CitizenFX. It provides specialized support for the RDR3 game profile.

# Currently part of @open-core/framework
# Standalone package coming soon
pnpm add @open-core/framework

---

Current Status

In Development: The RedM adapter is currently integrated into the framework. A standalone package will be available in a future release.

Current support:

• Server: Works with FiveM adapter configuration
• Client: Special ped appearance handling for RDR3

---

Game Profile: RDR3

RedM uses a different game profile than standard FiveM:

Aspect	FiveM (GTA5)	RedM (RDR3)
Game Profile	gta5	rdr3
Ped Models	mp_m_freemode_01	MP_M_MooreMafia_01
Weapon System	GTA weapons	RDR weapons
Horse System	No	Native support
Native Set	GTA V natives	RDR2 natives

---

RedM-Specific Considerations

Ped Appearance

RedM has different ped components and appearance options:

// RedM-safe ped appearance
import { RedMPedAppearanceClientAdapter } from '@open-core/framework'

// Or via the framework's safe defaults
// The framework automatically uses RedM-safe appearance handling

fxmanifest.lua Differences

RedM requires specific manifest settings:

fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'rdr3'

rdr3_warning 'I acknowledge that this is a prerelease build of RedM, and I am aware my resources *will* become incompatible once RedM ships.'

server_scripts {
  'server.js'
}

client_scripts {
  'client.js'
}

CLI Generation

The OpenCore CLI automatically generates the correct RedM manifest when targeting RedM:

// opencore.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  name: 'my-redm-server',
  destination: '/path/to/redm/resources',
  // The CLI will generate proper rdr3 fxmanifest
})

---

Configuration

Using RedM

import { defineConfig } from '@open-core/cli'
import { FiveMServerAdapter } from '@open-core/fivem-adapter/server'
import { FiveMClientAdapter } from '@open-core/fivem-adapter/client'

export default defineConfig({
  name: 'my-redm-server',
  destination: '/path/to/redm/resources',
  adapter: {
    server: FiveMServerAdapter(),
    client: FiveMClientAdapter(),
  },
  core: {
    path: './core',
    gameProfile: 'rdr3', // Specify RDR3 profile
  },
})

Game Profile Detection

The framework automatically detects the game profile:

import { IPlatformContext } from '@open-core/framework'

// Platform context provides game profile info
const platform = container.resolve(IPlatformContext)
console.log(platform.gameProfile) // 'rdr3' | 'gta5' | 'common'

---

Platform Capabilities

Capability	Value
Max Players	32 (RedM default)
Game Profile	RDR3
Server Vehicle Creation	Supported
Ped Appearance	RDR3-safe implementation
Horse Management	Via native integration
RDR2 Natives	Available via adapter

---

Future Plans

The following are planned for the standalone RedM adapter:

• Dedicated RedM Server Adapter — Package with RDR3-specific platform context
• RDR3-Specific Natives — Horse spawning, RDR2 weapon system
• RedM-Specific APIS — RDR-style apis like horses
• Enhanced Appearance — Full RDR3 character customization

---

Migration from GTA5

If you're migrating a FiveM project to RedM:

1. Update Ped Models — Use RDR3-compatible ped models
2. Check Natives — Replace any GTA5-specific native calls
3. Appearance Components — Update clothing/components for RDR3
4. Vehicle Types — Verify vehicle handling differences

// FiveM (GTA5)
spawnPed('mp_m_freemode_01')

// RedM (RDR3)
spawnPed('MP_M_MooreMafia_01')

---

Getting Started with RedM

1. Set up a RedM server instance
2. Configure OpenCore with gameProfile: 'rdr3'
3. Use FiveM adapter for now (RedM adapter coming)
4. Test gameplay features on RDR3 peds and natives

// Current recommended setup
export default defineConfig({
  name: 'redm-server',
  destination: '../redm/resources',
  adapter: {
    server: FiveMServerAdapter(),
    client: FiveMClientAdapter(),
  },
  core: {
    path: './core',
    gameProfile: 'rdr3',
  },
})
