Changing the FiveM pause menu title and colours
Call AddTextEntry('FE_THDR_GTAO', 'Your Server') on the client to replace the pause menu header text; GTA colour codes like ~p~ and ~s~ work inside it. ReplaceHudColourWithRgba(116, r, g, b, 255) recolours HUD_COLOUR_FREEMODE, the accent the pause menu uses. Put both in a small client script and pair them with a matching Discord rich presence.
When players press Escape they see the pause menu header — by default a GTA title. Replacing it with your server name and matching the accent colour to your brand takes a few lines of client code and is one of the cheapest in-game branding wins.
Replacing the title
CreateThread(function()
AddTextEntry('FE_THDR_GTAO', '~p~Night City RP~s~ | discord.gg/example')
end)AddTextEntry(entryKey, entryText) is a Cfx native that adds or overrides a text label for this client. The pause menu header reads its text from the FE_THDR_GTAO label, so overriding it changes the title. Colour codes are the same as in server names: ~r~, ~b~, ~g~, ~y~, ~p~, ~o~, ~w~ and ~s~ to reset.
Recolouring the accent
CreateThread(function()
ReplaceHudColourWithRgba(116, 124, 92, 255, 255)
end)| Index | Name | Default |
|---|---|---|
| 116 | HUD_COLOUR_FREEMODE | Blue accent used by the pause menu |
| 117 | HUD_COLOUR_PAUSE_BG | Semi-transparent black background |
Other interface elements also use HUD_COLOUR_FREEMODE, so preview the result across menus before shipping it.

Match your Discord presence
Use the same name and logo in Discord rich presence (SetDiscordAppId, SetDiscordRichPresenceAsset, SetDiscordRichPresenceAction) so players’ profiles advertise the server consistently — see Discord rich presence.
