This guide will walk you through the simple process of adding resources (Mods, Scripts, MLO) to your FiveM server.

2. Extract the File

Once downloaded, extract the file using a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip. You should see a folder containing several files, including a __resource.lua or fxmanifest.lua and additional script files.

Extract the folder by right clicking the zip and choose “Extract”.

3. Upload to Your Server

• Connect to your server via FTP. You can use FTP clients like FileZilla.
• Navigate to your server directory. This is usually located in the resources folder.
• Create a new folder within the resources directory. Name it something relevant to the resource you’re adding, for instance, newmod.

4. Add the Resource Files

• Upload the extracted files into the newly created folder on your server. Ensure all necessary files are included and in the correct format.

5. Edit the Server Config

• Open your server’s server.cfg file.
• Add a new line: ensure newmod (Replace newmod with the name of the folder you created).
• Save the changes and close the file.

6. Restart Your Server

Restart your FiveM server to apply the changes. You should now see the new resource active on your server.

Tips for Troubleshooting

• Check Console Logs: If the resource isn’t functioning as expected, check your server’s console logs for errors.
• Compatibility: Ensure the mod is compatible with your server’s current version.
• Dependencies: Some resources require other mods or scripts to function correctly. Make sure all dependencies are installed.
