Config basics

Every resource ships escrowed with an open config — game logic is protected by Cfx.re asset escrow, but config.lua (and any files meant for editing) are plain text you can change freely.

Rules of thumb

  • Everything intended to be changed lives in the open config — if an option isn't there, it isn't meant to be edited.
  • After changing a config, restart <resource> is enough; no server reboot needed.
  • Keep a copy of your edited config outside the resource folder so updates can't eat it.
  • Config files are Lua: a missing comma or quote stops the resource from starting. When in doubt, run it through a Lua linter or diff against the shipped default.
Never attempt to open or modify escrowed files — it won't work, and licence tampering forfeits support and the licence itself (Terms).
