Fivem Server not recognizing addons

ZackiChanChan · 2023-08-03T07:37:44.321Z

Hello, I have my own dedicated server and I have done everything to try to add custom vehicles. I dragged the files into my resources folder and started the resource in the config file. I even added it to vmenu but no matter what I do the server doesn’t recognize the addon. Just wondering if anyone has the same issue or a fix.

Please send us the custom vehicle resource

The problem here is that this is just a pure .rpf file if you put it in the resources folder FiveM won’t recognize it or can’t read it.
You have to make the car FiveM ready, extract the internal data and convert it into a suitable resource for streaming.

Here you can find a good video how to do that: How To Convert A dlc.rpf File Into A FiveM Ready Vehicle - YouTube

Please let me know if it works after the conversion

Also I already had it converted. I just sent you the link to download it. Didn’t realize it was an rpf.

Only the first 4 cars in the config are working all the other ones don’t work for some reason.

It may well be that the vehicle itself is broken or does not work on FiveM. But unfortunately I’m not a car developer, maybe someone can be found here

ZackiChanChan · 2023-08-05T01:48:46.247Z

It’s not letting me add anything. So either every car I’m trying to add is broken or theres something wrong with the server. Thanks for your help anyway.

I figured it out. I made this server a long time ago and got a new storage drive and I never changed the specifications of my server starter. So it wasn’t recognizing the new additions. Thank you for your help

Btw don’t use _resource.lua use fxmanifest.lua instead

Monsterrr5 · 2023-08-11T03:22:54.949Z

Both works fine, dosent really matter which one you use.

Jajar · 2023-08-12T08:22:13.927Z

Its better practice to use fxmanifests

Tuncion · 2023-08-12T08:56:51.302Z

Yes both work, nobody doubted that but it is not about if it works but what is better and not outdated. The _resource.lua is no more time conform like fxmanifest.lua, therefore all developers should use this nowadays only.
