Additional comments

Background context:
I was learning how to develop C# scripts on my localhost server, while at the same time, also customizing my own character with vMenu. However, as I had Make Visuals Great Again installed my graphics mod, night times in the world would became pitch black and I was unable to get a clear visibility of my character.

I then added vSync (v1.4.0) | Simple weather and time sync to my server in an attempt to change the server time to day at the tip of a chat command. However, I ran into quite a few issues with vSync (Mainly with permissions) and after messing around for hours, I still didn’t manage to get vSync to change the time in my world.

Out of frustration and impulsive decision, I decided to attempt to inject a third-party mod menu into FiveM to try and get a quick and dirty way of being able to change the weather and time. And since I was playing on a localhost server at the time, I didn’t think to much about the consequences or aftermath.

A few hours later, I gave up on attempting to change the weather and customizing my character and just decided to go ahead with playing around with C# scripts. Only to find myself receiving the following message while attempting to connect to my own server:

I was drawn back abit when I first got that message, but ultimately didn’t really wanted to write a forum post asking for the removal of my ban as I know that I’ve messed up.

After looking around on the forums for abit, I came across a couple of posts, particularly this one on how one was able to still connect to their own localhost server while banned: Banned. What to do for 2 weeks?

Following the reply instructions, I had no issues with starting the server without svadhesive, however when I tried to launch my FiveM client after removing “adhesive”, in components.json, the above error was what I received.

I honestly don’t mind sitting out the 2 weeks ban as I know that it was entirely on me and the consequences of my own actions. However, it would be nice if I could at least still connect to my own server so I can continue learning how to develop scripts and messing around on my own.
(I’d even like to disable adhesive on my client from here on out as I do not wish to trigger another anti-cheat for whatever reason (Windows updates, Game Updates, other shady programs out there, etc, etc), as I hardly play on community servers anyways).

That said, any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance~

You need the FiveM.formaldev file

Hi d0p3t,
May I know what is this FiveM.formaldev and where can I get it
Thanks~

An empty file. Just create it FiveM.exe.formaldev

Don’t remove it there, just delete the .dll file.

Hm - what’s with the anger, and why are you posting on someone else’s topic? :open_mouth:

Thank you for the suggestions, I will try them out once I’m home~

Ok so I Just got home and after testing out on some of the suggestions here, I was able to connect to to my local server again~

I’ll share my findings below and what I did to get it working again for anyone else in the future that might be in the same situation as I was.

Here’s what I tried first:

I tried adding “FiveM.exe.formaldev” under

C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\FiveM\ and C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\FiveM\FiveM.app\
but it still resulted in the same error above after removing "adhesive", from components.json

The solution:

I added "adhesive", back into my components.json, saved it, and instead, tried the following suggestion:

I ended up re-naming adhesive.dll to adhesive.dll.bak to disable the .dll without having to delete it, in case I wanted to join community servers again in the future after my ban.

Doing this allowed me to launch FiveM again.

However, this time I was met with a new error while attempting to join my server:

This was easily solved by disabling banlist from the txAdmin panel:
1 - Under Settings:

2 - Player Manager:

3 - Switch Enable Banlist to OFF:

4 - And then Saving it:

5 - Re-Connect to my server again in FiveM and Voila!:

Thank You to d0p3t and deterministic_bubble for helping me out and spending their time to provide suggestions~
