Installation Guide for MLO Files on QB Core Server

This guide provides a comprehensive, step-by-step process for installing MLO (Map Location Object) files on your QB Core server. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure a successful setup.

Prerequisites

• QB Core Server: Ensure you have a functioning QB Core server setup.

• MLO File: Obtain the MLO file you wish to install.

• FiveM Resources Folder: Access to your server’s resources directory.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Prepare Your Environment

• Backup Your Server: Before making any changes, backup your server files to prevent data loss.

• Ensure Compatibility: Verify that the MLO file is compatible with your version of QB Core and FiveM.

1. Download and Extract MLO Files

• Download the MLO File: Obtain the MLO file package from your source.

• Extract the Files: Use a file extraction tool to unzip the MLO file package. You should see a folder containing the MLO files, such as .ydr, .yft, and .yft.

1. Add MLO Files to Your Resources Folder

• Navigate to Your Resources Folder:

  • Locate your FiveM server’s resources directory. This is usually found in the root directory of your server files.

• Create a New Resource Folder:

  • Inside the resources directory, create a new folder for your MLO file. Name it appropriately (e.g., mlo_example).

• Move MLO Files:

  • Copy the extracted MLO files into the newly created folder.

1. Configure the Resource

Create a __resource.lua File:

• In the MLO folder, create a file named __resource.lua.

• Add the following content to the __resource.lua file

-- Resource Manifest Version
fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'gta5'

-- Data Files
data_file 'DLC_ITYP_REQUEST' 'stream/[your_file_name].ytyp'

• Replace [your_file_name] with the name of your MLO file.

• Create a fxmanifest.lua File:

  • Alternatively, if you’re using the latest FiveM standards, create a fxmanifest.lua file in the same directory.

  • Add the following content:

-- Resource Manifest Version
fx_version 'cerulean'
game 'gta5'

-- Define the resource
files {
    'stream/[your_file_name].ydr',
    'stream/[your_file_name].yft',
    'stream/[your_file_name].yft'
}

data_file 'DLC_ITYP_REQUEST' 'stream/[your_file_name].ytyp'

• Replace [your_file_name] with the appropriate filenames for your MLO files.

5. Update server.cfg

• Open server.cfg:

  • Locate and open your server’s server.cfg file using a text editor.

• Add the MLO Resource:

  • Add the following line to ensure your server loads the MLO resource

ensure mlo_example

• Replace mlo_example with the folder name you created for the MLO file.

6. Start Your Server

• Restart Your Server:

  • Save all changes and restart your FiveM server to apply the new resource.

• Verify Installation:

  • Join your server and verify that the MLO is loaded correctly. Check for any errors in the console and ensure the MLO appears as expected in the game.

7. Troubleshooting

• Check Console for Errors: Look for any error messages in the server console related to the MLO resource.

• Verify File Paths: Ensure that all file paths and names in the configuration files are correct.

• Consult Documentation: Refer to the MLO file’s documentation for any specific setup instructions or requirements.
