Enhance Your FiveM Server with Custom Scripts, Mods, and Add-Ons

Installing Custom Scripts on Your FiveM Server

Downloading the Script: Choose a custom script and download the latest version to avoid bugs and glitches. Many scripts are free and can easily be found online.
Moving the Script: Place the downloaded script folder in the "resources" folder found in your FiveM Server directory (CFXServerDattaMaster > Resources). Ensure the script folder is included in the start load Command prompt.
Configuring and Running the Script: Open the server.cfg file with Notepad or Notepad++. Locate the text group labeled "start" and add a new line, typing "start <script name>". Save the file and close it. Load the server and the custom script should automatically be loaded with the other scripts, working with the respective commands.

Installing Mods on Your FiveM Server

Download the Mods: Find and download the mods you want to install on your FiveM server.
Add Mods to Resources Folder: Place the mod folders and files into the "resources" folder of your FiveM Server. Ensure the mods contain .iua resource files.
Edit the citmp-server.yml File: Open and edit the citmp-server.yml file using the control panel. Locate the "AutoStartResources" line and add the new downloaded mod names using the same format as the existing lines.
Restart the Server: Shut down GTA 5 and the server, then restart both. The new mods should now be functioning.

Installing Mods that Require MySQL Database

Install MySQL for FiveM: Download and install the MySQL Community Edition for your FiveM server.
Enter MySQL Details: Check the email you received with the subject "Database Information" and enter the required information (database name, hostname, username, and password) into the mod.
Locate the Mod Folder: Find the mod folder in your "resources" directory, either using FTP or the control panel.
Enter MySQL Details in Server Lua File: Locate the server Lua file and input your MySQL details as required by the mod. Some mods may use a config.lua file for entering these details.
Run SQL Script: Locate the .sql file provided by the mod and run the script to set up the necessary database tables.
Log into PHPMyAdmin: Use your MySQL details to log into PHPMyAdmin. The link should be provided in the "Database Information" email.
Import SQL File: Select the database on the left, copy the contents of the .sql file into the text area, and click "Go" at the bottom right of the page.
Restart the Server: Finally, restart your server, and the mod should now be working.



With these steps, you'll be able to customize and enhance your GTA V multiplayer experience on your very own FiveM server.
