Blank FiveM Server

I started a blank FiveM server, meaning I only have the resources that FiveM itself generates in the main folder.

Currently, it has the following resources:

  • basic-gamemode
  • fivem-map-hipster
  • fivem-map-skater
  • hardcap
  • mapmanager
  • sessionmanager
  • spawnmanager
  • chat (This one is missing for some reason. It doesn’t come by default, and I don’t know why. FiveM’s console asks for it, but I won’t use it for now, so whatever, lol).

However, I would like to know if all the resources listed above are truly essential for the basic functioning of the server. Alternatively, which of them can I safely remove without causing visible or invisible performance/functionality issues in the future as the server’s code gets more advanced?

Additionally, I noticed that when I delete fivem-map-hipster and fivem-map-skater, connecting to the server with the client results in the message “Awaiting Scripts…” stuck in the bottom-right corner indefinitely. I don’t want to work with what I imagine are modified maps. Where can I find a blank map that only includes the constructions and assets from GTA V itself?

Edit: Will be in the future a RP server!

Best way to find out, is to temp move folders and restart server :face_with_peeking_eye:

Unless you write your own spawn logic you need mapmanager, spawnmanager, basic-gamemode and one of the maps to spawn.

Unless you are not using OneSync the sessionmanager resource is not required, mostly a leftover.

The hardcap resource is only used to limit the max slots on your server.

These maps only contain spawn points, they don’t modify the original map.

Thank you so much, with this and while the topic was online I was also testing some things and your explanation was what I was missing. I found it really strange that sessions were being managed by a resource instead of natively. Yes, I will use OneSync, it’s actually enabled in my server.cfg!

it should be added via txadmin, not the server.cfg
