Literately nothing special here just a real simple and quick way to update all the manifests (__resource.lua) in one shot without the need to open all files one by one
was asked to add more info as to what this dose so here goes
- Finds all __resource.lua files
- Removed any old resource_manifest_version lines
- Added the newest resource_manifest_version string
- Rince and repeat
If you still need more info please read resource-manifest

Normal jargon here please backup all files before running as i take no responsibility if this turns your server into revengeful AI component with only one aim “World domination”

You should probably add more information to this release so people know what it does.

Yes i have and this takes 0.02ms to do 500 files so there is zero speed increase and this way is more easy to read for other non coders
i did not think it mattered this tool is more of a fire and forget to just use the newest version if you can provide some insight as to what and how best to use different ones as i thought the newest one would be best

Really, Visual Basic?
You should clarify that this will only work for windows servers.
You should also clarify which version of the manifest you are “updating” to.
After all, is it really updating if it is just changing all the resource manifest versions to a static string?

What about python 
for cross-platform?
Also you can add a file or args to specify the manifest version
its in VB for simplicity i have no plans to make it for multi plats as most users of FiveM are windows based
Why does this need to exist? The resource manifest hasn’t been updated in the last 2 years 
what is the importance of updating a resource manifest?
What does it change?
A resource which allready run at older manifest will be afeted in what way with new manifest?
theres a chance to a resource that is allready runing at older manifest stop running in new manifests?
thats my newbie questions, dont be rude with me.
Yet people are still publishing with old versions
From what I understand the new menifests introduce new technologies in how files are stored and sent to clients from the server if you click the link in the op there is a kind of change log.
The only reason I posted this up was to help others who wished todo the same as I did and that’s to blanket update all 3rd party mods and I’ve not have any issues with doing it. I hope that if a FiveM Dev sees and issue with doing this he/she/umm will speak up and say as if there is a pattern I can see ill coding it into the tool
