Simplify Starting Resources

Hi!

Here is a guide on how to simplify starting resources in server.cfg!

Not everyone enjoys typing over and over ensure Resource_Name, So here is a simple way to lay it out

  • When putting resources like cars, maps, scripts etc in your Resources, Instead of doing it 1 by 1 create a folder like this instead [cars]

  • Then put all your Cars within the [cars] folder. (Same with scripts, maps etc)

  • Finally add to your server.cfg Ensure [cars]

This will make the server start ALL Resources within the folder [cars] and it makes your server.cfg look much cleaner!

Complex Server.cfg Example

Server.cfg

ensure car1
ensure car2
ensure car3
ensure map2
ensure map1
ensure script1
ensure script3

Simplified Server.cfg Example

Summary

ensure [cars]
ensure [scripts]
ensure [maps]

Hopefully this has been helpful

Thanks!

Didn’t know that, thanks for this, good to know.
There is only one thing to make sure it’s when u need one resource to be start before to ensure ur code.

I mean we still can use dependency on fxmanifest to be sure but yeah, be strict.
