Maps & Vehicles FAQ

This guide walks through Maps & Vehicles FAQ from preparation through verification, with a rollback path and the checks that matter in a real faq environment.

Inspect the download

Extract it locally and identify the real resource root (fxmanifest.lua). Read its install notes and dependencies before uploading. Keep a backup of any resource it replaces.

Install

Place the resource under a logical bracket folder such as [vehicles], [maps], [eup] or [scripts]. Preserve the expected folder name unless the author says renaming is safe.

Manifest and data files

Check that streamed files and any required data/meta files are declared correctly by the supplied manifest. Do not invent manifest entries when the resource already ships a working manifest.

Start and test

Run refresh, then ensure ResourceName. Read the console before joining. Test the asset in multiple relevant locations/vehicles/outfits and then cold boot the whole server.

Typical failures

Missing assets often mean a nested folder, bad path/case, missing dependency, incorrect manifest/data declaration, or a conflict with another resource providing the same content.
