Force all server to release scripts

that would be cool if fivem force all server to release all script on the forrum because this is so anoying so many player want to play but cannot because of this, the lack of server is bad make something please… :sweat:

nice job by blocking this topic cant even let poeple talk about something …
i feel bad for you guys need to protect your little script so poeple cant play so many greedy person here…

Well my opinion is, no one can force anyone to do something they dont want to do.
If you made something for yourself, would you want the government to bang on your door and have them take it from you?
Something you made, something you designed and now they want to give it to everyone?
I live in America, what your asking for is illegal, you sound like Big Joe Dee from Brooklyn.
Also, I understand this is open source and for sure, selling a script can be against TOS and frowned upon, but you cannot force these guys to give up stuff they made personally for them.
We have plenty of guys on here that contribute a ton, we cannot be greedy, especially guys like me that do not have that ability.
I am happy to get whats released and yes, everyone wants the stuff you cant have, thats normal, but making them give it up, is not right.

My server has only scripts that are released here and its full server 24/7 everyday, people will play either way.

I don’t think they should be forced to. I’m not really sure how that could be achieved anyway. But if they weren’t so secretive about things it would go a long way. And the ppl holding scripts they know the community wants is in my opinion wrong. The script is done, so why not release it? Unique servers have unique scripts. And that’s OK with me. But if those servers bought the scripts and because of that the developer put the scripts under lock and key only to be sold for a rediculous price, that’s wrong. So in short, I want servers to share their knowledge not keep it secret and devs shouldn’t lock up scripts just because a popular server bought the script.

i will release everything whene its done so poeple can make rp server for everyone… and yes they can make it happen fivem have the last word

FiveM has the last word. This is true. But the ATF can’t keep track of every firearm. Do you think FiveM can check, inspect and force every server to release said scripts? Are they gonna watch twitch and write down every command they see and then check on it? I don’t see how they could enforce such an idea. I don’t consider servers and devs that keep things to themselves as part of the community. Kinda like streamers that only play for views. That means they only play for the money. This is an open source community. They choose not to be a part of it with how they run their servers and devs too.

It’s not new that some people do not share their scripts.
This post is quite strange, considering all your previous requests, it sounds more like laziness after you realize the work to make a RP server.

I think what he’s saying is there isn’t enough good RP servers. There’s only a few that are good and way too popular. Which means they can’t ever get in. Now if said scripts were released anyone could make a good RP server. I agree and disagree. For example the most popular RP server I refuse to play on. Obvious reasons aside, the biggest reason being it’s a police state. You can have all the scripts you want, bad admin, bad police makes a bad experience. Like I said above I don’t consider those type of ppl members of the community. They post server adverts and that’s it. No sharing of knowledge of any kind. In life one gets what they give.

i dont want to argu whit you guys im feeling bad for all the poeple who cant play thats it and i agree whit what you say @hst and dude i know what is to work on a server i been working since fivem came out @Povers

@Antoine I wouldn’t consider that an argument. Just a discussion. Every interaction I’ve had with you has been pleasant. I’ve read some of your comments and you even shared your hidden car script too. I have absolutely no beef with you.

My feeling on this is that we are a community and only way to make it better and contribute to the community since we are all using FiveM for free you should be to share scripts. But to be said to do it by force is a bit much but everyone should share only way we are going to make this better.

I feel like there could be better resources for scripting and better mods/script areas. For example for people wanting to make a RP server there should be a RP Section and in there we share the code. But you need to have something that sets some servers apart. But I know the frustrating deal and i have faced it myself is Where in the world do you start you know.

But I can see where he is coming from but might need to just bee reworded or put differently. But I can see if there was a slandered in the code base then let everyone build from it that would be cool also. Not sure anything else can be said here.

then dont do it someone else will :wink:

@MrDaGree and that’s entirely your decision. But ask yourself this. How do you contribute to the community? If you don’t release scripts that ppl want, do you at least help ppl in need of help? I cannot script very well and I’m learning more everyday from ppl on the forums. Since I don’t provide scripts I help in anyway I can. Look at my posts. I’ve helped several ppl today get their servers up and running. Do I deserve a cookie for it? No. I’m a member of this community and I like to help.

You can debate what FiveM should do, but make no mistake, they can do this with no force involved whatsoever.

Scripts used by a server can be downloaded and saved to the client cache in any way FiveM decides. They can be obfuscated or they can be fully revealed. Cache files could include client and server scripts, and they could even be saved as separate, readable and re-useable lua files.

This would not be some special use force. As a server owner, if you allow a user to access your server and in turn subject the client to your scripts, under this more “open” regime it would be simply understood that a user is able to inspect (and re-use) the scripts applied to clients.

Won’t happen and will never happen, I know you like what you can’t get but it would be a major mistake to do that, bad servers would pop out of the ground like mushrooms because of these “released” scripts.

If you want to remake those servers, I would advise learning lua and the natives more and ask so servers how they done some stuff, don’t ask for the entire script though.

Only if you learn yourself you can expand the knowledge of scripting in Fivem and make awesome stuff for other people :slight_smile:

After what loque said I think it will happen. Makes logical sense. If not I see FiveM going bye bye like in the past. Ppl are gonna put themselves before FiveM and the community. That Almighty dollar ya know. “Ask servers how they did stuff”. Many many server owners have accounts, not one chimes in. Why? They wanna keep things secret. That does not benefit the community in any way. Only the server owner. As for learning Lua yourself and giving back to the community many do. I’ve learned so much from joining this forum, but only from a few ppl. The ones that get good at Lua turn away from the community and charge money for scripts. If that trend continues, who’s left? And ya know R* will get it’s panties in a bunch over any profit made related to fiveM. I wanna see FiveM stay and greedy devs leave. Plain and simple.

@Beef, Sorry but I don’t get it.

If 2-3 servers currently have “monopolies” on unique mega-scripts, it only results in an excess demand of users hammering those servers. People wait or can’t get in, causing some to lose interest, while another 100 servers lie virtually empty. You think this monopoly encourages good server admin and ownership? I think at least some people are discovering the opposite.

If instead all servers had an array of advanced script capabilities (“rising tide lifts all boats”), it would be the human side that would come more to distinguish between them. This would result in more “good” servers and the “bad” ones would have less impact, and most importantly you would have more players overall playing in those now plentiful good servers. The bad ones popping up like mushrooms as you say, run by immature or incompetent admins, would not last because there would always be another server to switch to.
