🗺️ How to Install a FiveM Mapping

This guide explains step-by-step how to install a FiveM mapping (custom map) after purchase — from the Cfx Portal to the final ensure line in your server.cfg.

---

🧾 1. Download the mapping from the Cfx Portal

1. Go to https://portal.cfx.re/.

2. Log in using the Cfx account you used to make the purchase.

3. Click on your profile icon (top right) and open “My Assets”.

4. Find the mapping you purchased in the list.

5. Click Download to get the .zip file.

---

📦 2. Extract the files

1. Once the .zip file is downloaded, extract it (right-click → “Extract here”).

2. You should see a folder that looks something like this:

   mymapping/
   ├─ stream/
   ├─ fxmanifest.lua
   └─ ...

3. Make sure the folder contains a fxmanifest.lua file.

   💡 Without this file, FiveM won’t recognize the resource.

---

📁 3. Move the folder into your server

1. Open your server directory (usually named resources/).

2. Drag and drop the mapping folder inside, for example:

   resources/[maps]/mymapping

   ⚠️ Avoid spaces and special characters in the folder name.

---

⚙️ 4. Add the mapping to your server.cfg

1. Open your server.cfg file.

2. Add this line at the bottom (or in your resource section):

   ensure mymapping

3. Save the file.

---

🚀 5. Restart your server

• Restart your FiveM server via your control panel or console.

• Join your server and check that the mapping has loaded correctly.

✅ If everything is working, you’ll see the new mapping directly in-game!

---

🧰 6. Troubleshooting

If the mapping doesn’t load:

• Double-check the folder name.

• Make sure it’s placed inside a folder that is ensured in your server.cfg.

• Check your console logs for any resource errors.

To stay organized, you can structure your resources like this:

resources/[maps]
resources/[scripts]
resources/[vehicles]

🧡 Example setup

resources/
├─ [maps]/
│  ├─ mymapping/
│  │  ├─ fxmanifest.lua
│  │  └─ stream/
│  └─ anothermap/
└─ [scripts]/
   └─ myscript/

And in your server.cfg:

ensure [maps]
ensure [scripts]
