Game server setup checklist

Most things that "don't work" in game on a new server are a step that hasn't been done yet. Work down this list once and everything in game will have what it needs. Each step links to the full article.

1. On the website#

• Install the modules you want. Click Install modules at the bottom of the control panel sidebar. Most of what the resource does needs the CAD. Install Staff Panel, Cameras, Mechanics and Integrations if you want them. See Add or remove modules.
• Make your departments and ranks. Under Departments & ranks, make your police, fire, EMS and dispatch departments. See Create a department.
• Put people on the roster, including yourself. /onduty only offers departments the player is on the roster of, with the status Active or In training. See Add someone to the roster.
• Switch on the CAD parts you use. Under CAD settings, tick the modules you want and save. See Turn CAD features on and off.
• Pick a map for the live map and tablet. Under CAD settings, then Map & places, then Live map, pick the map that matches your postal script and load its postals. Until you do, the map on the tablet has nothing to show. See Choose a map and postal set.
• Set up loadouts, fleet vehicles and uniforms if you want /onduty to hand them out. See Set up duty loadouts.

2. On the game server#

• Add the resource. Claim it on Tebex, download it from Keymaster and put the lonexone folder in resources. See Install the LonexOne FiveM resource.
• Add screenshot-basic if you want /photo, /headshot and /mugshot. Without it, those commands don't work and the console says so.
• Add the server key. Make it under Status & servers and add set lonexone_key "..." to server.cfg above ensure lonexone. See Connect your game server.
• Add the permission lines if you use Game Permissions. They're in the install article.
• Restart the server and check the console says Connected to LonexOne.

The order in server.cfg:

set lonexone_key "lx_..."
ensure screenshot-basic
ensure lonexone

3. For every player#

• Sign in to your community's website with Discord at least once. That's how the game knows who they are.
• Have the Discord app open before starting FiveM, with the same Discord account. Without it, they see Link Discord to FiveM to use the CAD.

4. Check it works#

First, open Status & servers and click the Health tab. It checks your resource version, OneSync, screenshot-basic, the postal map and more, and says what to fix. See Check your game server's health.

Then join your server and try:

1. /onduty: the duty menu opens with your departments. If it says you're not on a roster, go back to step 1.
2. /tablet: the CAD opens, already signed in. Open the live map from it and check you show up.
3. /911 test: a call appears in the CAD.
4. /photo: a photo is taken. If not, check screenshot-basic is running.

See Every in-game command for the rest.
