Decided to create a server (localhost) for me and a few friends but I got stuck before I even got started. I’ve worked on servers before and never had this issue before… So here’s the issue: Whenever I try to configure scripts to my liking nothing happens in game. Lets say I try to change the keybindings of a script: nothing happens (after restarting of course). I’ve also tried to change the location of blips: also… nothing happens. It seems that no matter what I do changes won’t apply in game. I CAN change things from the server.cfg file and they work perfectly. I’ve also managed to get the loading screen to work correctly, but that’s pretty much it…
I’ve never encountered this problem before and by the looks of it nor has anyone else. I’ve tried to mess with different scripts, disabling and enabling them, create multiple servers multiple times with different configurations… without any luck. I’ve even tried to create a server on an another PC and the same problem persists.
Now I’m at a dead end and have no other choice than ask for help from the forums, because I’m officially out of ideas.
I’ve had this happen as well. Try clearing your server’s cache (or just the resource’s cached files). Also try to doublecheck if you have your resource folder in the right directory. If all of those dont work, i just suggest redoing the setup of your server, and copy over the resources manually.
Afraid it’s not that. I’ve tried to recreate a server from the ground up minimum of 10 times already. I’ve gone the normal route and also the traditional route of creating a fivem server. Followed tutorials to the letter and still nothing. Even went as far as trying it on a whole another PC…
As I stated earlier I’ve worked on fivem servers before and never had this issue until now. Really strange… Can it have something to do with the server being localhost and not forwarded? Has to be something on my end since no one else is having this problem…
UPDATE: Got vMenu to obey the config file. Had to properly execute the permissions.cfg file and of course it worked. Can’t change the settings on the go like I remember doing last time. I need to restart the server and my game for the changes to take effect. Now there’s the issue of other scripts… unfortunately they are not magically working… so time to get working again. If i had to guess the problem lies in the server not being able to read the config files unless specifically tasked to do so from the server.cfg file.
Things seem to be working fine except few keybind settings. Did I do anything special: No. How did I solve the problem: Don’t really know, some scripts started to work by themselves. Ones that didn’t were sent to the bin. Case closed. Appreciate the help.
Some keybinds are set with RegisterKeyMapping. For those, it sets a keybind you can change in game. If you have already logged in the server, its already set at the old one. Changing the script wont make a difference for anyone that has logged in, only new players. However it is easily changed in game in the keybinds section. Hope this helps
