Enhancing Your World

In the FiveM environment, every modification—from a simple administrative script to a highly detailed 4K vehicle model—is treated as a Resource. Understanding the correct structure and loading order is essential for maintaining a stable and optimized server.

​
1. Resource Folder Structure

A valid FiveM resource must follow a specific directory layout. Before uploading, ensure your resource folder contains:
  • fxmanifest.lua: The manifest file that tells the server how to load the resource.
  • stream/ (Optional): Contains .ytd and .yft files for 3D models and textures.
  • client.lua / server.lua (Optional): The logic scripts that run on the player’s client or the server.

​
2. Organized Deployment

To keep your server directory manageable, we recommend using Category Folders (bracketed folders).
  1. Navigate to your /resources/ directory via SFTP.
  2. Create subdirectories like [cars], [scripts], and [maps].
  3. Upload your individual resource folders into these categories.
    • Example: /resources/[cars]/ferrari458/

​
3. Activation (server.cfg)

To tell the server to load these new assets, you must update your server.cfg:
  • Individual Load: ensure ferrari458
  • Category Load: ensure [cars]
    • Recommendation: Using the bracket method (e.g., ensure [cars]) will automatically load every resource inside that folder, significantly cleaning up your configuration file.
