How to add a resource
Overview
Resources are the plugins of FiveM. Always check the documentation of the resource - it tells you what is needed and whether other resources are required.
Step-by-Step Instructions
<ol><li>Download the resource and decompress it (e.g. with WinRAR).</li><li>Verify the folder contains fxmanifest.lua or __resource.lua.</li><li>Connect via FTP (WinSCP) and drag the folder into the server's resources folder.</li><li>Open server.cfg and add ensure TakeHostage under the default resources section.</li><li>Save, then restart the server.</li><li>Import any bundled .SQL file if the resource documentation requires it.</li></ol>
Code / Configuration
<pre><code># inside server.cfg ensure TakeHostage</code></pre>
Warning
If the resource has dependencies, install and ensure those first, or the resource will error in the console.
