Setting Up the Server
In order to create your QBCore FiveM server, you’ll need to go through a series of steps to set up the server on your computer. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Creating Folders on the Desktop
The first step is to create folders on your desktop to organize the server files. Create a main folder and name it whatever you want, such as “Server” or “YouTube Server.” Inside this main folder, create two additional folders called “Server” and “Server Data.” This folder structure will help you keep everything organized.
Downloading Necessary Files and Programs
Next, you’ll need to download some files and programs that are necessary for setting up the server. The links to download these files will be provided in the video description. The files and programs you’ll need include:
- Server artifacts: This is the core of your server and includes the TX admin dashboard for managing your server.
- Keymaster: This is a key that is required to play on or create your FiveM server.
- WinRAR: This program is used to extract the server artifacts and other files.
- XAMPP: This is a database program that is used to set up the server’s database.
Extracting the Server Artifacts and Setting Up the Server Folder
Once you have downloaded the server artifacts, open the ZIP file using WinRAR or a similar program. Select all the files and extract them into the “Server” folder that you created on your desktop. This will set up the server folder with all the necessary files.
Launching the Server and Setting Up Keymaster
After extracting the server artifacts, locate the “FX server.exe” file in the server folder. Double-click on it to launch the server. This will open a CMD console, which is your server. Keep this window open, as closing it will stop the server from running.
Additionally, the server launch will also open the TX admin dashboard in a web browser. Follow the prompts to sign in with your Cfx.re forum account and create an offline password. This password is used for administrative access to the server.
Next, you’ll need to set up Keymaster. Visit the Keymaster website and create a new server display name. Enter your public IP address, server type, and generate a key. Copy the generated key and paste it into the server deployer window that opened when you launched the server. This key is essential for playing on or creating your FiveM server.
Setting Up the XAMPP Database
To set up the XAMPP database, open the XAMPP program and start both the Apache and MySQL services. These services are needed for the database to run. Once the services are started, click on “Admin” next to MySQL to open the database in a web browser.
In the XAMPP database, create a new database with a short name that is relevant to your server. For example, “YouTube_server.” Make sure to avoid using spaces in the database name. Copy the name of the database for later use.
Go back to the server deployer window and click on “Show Database Options.” Paste the name of the database you just created into the appropriate field. This will ensure that the server is connected to the correct database.
Finally, click on “Run Recipe” in the server deployer window to start the setup process. The server deployer will download all the necessary scripts and resources from GitHub to get your server up and running.
Once the setup process is complete, your QBCore FiveM server is ready to go. You can now launch FiveM and connect to your server to start playing or testing your server environment. Enjoy!
Deploying the QB Framework
In order to successfully deploy the QB framework for your QBCore FiveM server, there are several steps you need to follow:
Choosing the QB Framework in the Server Deployer
When setting up your server, you’ll need to select the QB framework in the server deployer. This framework is known for its efficiency and speed, making it a popular choice among server creators. By choosing the QB framework, you can take advantage of its optimized features and enhance the performance of your server.
Changing the Save Path to the Server Data Folder
In the server deployer, you have the option to change the save path for your server files. It is recommended to save all your server files in a separate folder called “Server Data.” This helps keep your server files organized and easily accessible. By changing the save path to the server data folder, you can ensure that all your files are stored in one centralized location.
Running the Recipe Deployer to Download Scripts and Resources
Once you have chosen the QB framework and set the save path, you can run the recipe deployer. The recipe deployer is responsible for downloading all the necessary scripts and resources from GitHub to get your server up and running. This includes essential files such as voice, standalone scripts, and QB scripts. Running the recipe deployer ensures that all the required components are installed and ready to use.
Creating a Database and Linking It to the Server
After running the recipe deployer, you’ll need to create a database for your QBCore FiveM server. To do this, open the XAMPP program and start both the Apache and MySQL services. Once the services are started, click on “Admin” next to MySQL to open the database in a web browser. In the XAMPP database, create a new database with a relevant name, such as “YouTube_server.” Copy the name of the database for later use.
Next, go back to the server deployer window and click on “Show Database Options.” Paste the name of the database you just created into the appropriate field. This step ensures that your server is linked to the correct database, allowing it to store and retrieve data as needed.
Saving and Running the Server
Once you have completed all the necessary steps, it’s time to save and run your QBCore FiveM server. In the server deployer window, click on “Save and Run” to start the server. This will launch the server and open the CMD console, which indicates that your server is running. It’s important to keep this window open, as closing it will stop the server from running.
Additionally, the server launch will open the TX admin dashboard in a web browser. This dashboard allows you to manage and moderate your server. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the features and options available in the TX admin dashboard.
With your server successfully deployed, you can now connect to it in FiveM and start playing or testing your server environment. Enjoy exploring all the features and possibilities that the QB framework has to offer!
