Key Settings Explained

Setting	Description
`sv_hostname`	Server name in the browser
`sv_maxclients`	Maximum player count
`sv_licenseKey`	Your cfx.re license key
`onesync`	Enables improved sync for higher player counts
`sv_scriptHookAllowed`	Allow ScriptHook (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)
`ensure`	Starts a resource when the server boots

⚠️ Warning: Keep sv_scriptHookAllowed set to 0 unless you specifically need it. Enabling it allows clients with modding tools to potentially exploit your server.

📝 Note: The ensure command loads resources in order. Make sure dependencies are loaded before resources that require them.
