FiveM: Installing ELS on your server
This guide was created with the following products:
(Details may vary with products from different providers but the main concepts remain the same)
Connect to FTP
In order to be able to install the resource, the Access via FTP needs to be configured.
Preparation
First of all we download the latest ELS-FiveM Version, which can be found under "Assets"
Once we have downloaded ELS, unzip the file and open the "ELS-FiveM" folder.
Configuration
Now we configure ELS-FiveM by making a copy of the vcf.default.lua, and rename it to vcf.lua.
Note: The old vcf.default.lua should not be deleted.
Further settings can also be adjusted in the "config.lua", but we will leave them as default.
Upload Resource
You can install ELS-FiveM by uploading the files via drag & drop into the "resources" folder.
Once uploaded, you need to open the server.cfg in the server-data folder:
Among the remaining start entries for resources the entry for ELS-FiveM can now be added.
Afterwards the server can be restarted and ELS-FiveM is available in game!
Carmods Configuration
To add new carmods to ELS-FiveM we first need the ELS-Config which you can often find in the folder of the downloaded carmod. Usually it is called autoname.xml, in our case it is scpdvic.xml.
Upload them into the "vcf" folder of our ELS-FiveM folder via FTP.
Now that the file has been uploaded, we open the 'vcf.lua' file in the ELS-FiveM folder.
Make sure that the previous line always ends with a comma.
Done! Our Carmod should be ELS enabled and functional after a restart of the server.
