📦 What is a resource in FiveM?
In FiveM, a resource is any add-on to the server: a job script, a custom map, a vehicle model, an economy system, etc. Resources go in theresources folder and are activated in the server.cfg file.🔍 1. Where to find resources
The best sites to download resources for FiveM are:- forum.cfx.re/releases — The official forum, with verified free resources.
- GitHub — Many high-quality open-source resources.
- Tebex/Keymaster — For paid premium resources.
⬆️ 2. Upload the resource to the server
In the panel, go to Files →resources folder. Here you should create a subfolder with the resource's name (e.g. [ox] or [standalone]) and upload the resource folder inside.The correct structure is:
resources/[category]/resource-name/fxmanifest.luaIf the resource comes in a zip, upload it and extract it directly in the panel.
⚙️ 3. Activate the resource in server.cfg
Open theserver.cfg file from the panel and add at the end:ensure resource-nameThe name must match the resource folder name exactly. If the resource has dependencies, make sure to add them before:
ensure ox_lib
ensure ox_inventory
ensure my-resource🔄 4. Restart the server
Saveserver.cfg and restart the server. Check the console to see if the resource loaded correctly. Look for a line like [resource-name] Resource started. If you see errors, read them carefully — they usually indicate which dependency is missing or which file has a syntax error.🗄️ 5. Database configuration
Many resources need a MySQL database to save data (money, inventory, properties...). If so, the resource will have a.sql file — import it into your ZentexNode database from the admin panel. Ask support if you need help with this.💡 Organization tips
- Organize resources in folders by category:
[core],[jobs],[maps],[vehicles]. - If a resource causes problems, comment out its line in server.cfg by putting
#in front and restart. - Don't install resources you don't understand — always read the README before activating anything.
