Why you shouldn't use basic-gamemode

🕗 6 min read

fivem

If you have any multi and spawn, you don’t need to use this

The main purpose of this is to allow you to develop FiveM with cfx-server-data without having anything, i.e. it will spawn you with a random ped at a random coordinate

These look familiar, right?

alt text Haven’t you seen your character get stuck here before, or first appear and then disappear, I’m sure you recognise them very well

If basic-gamemode is ensure in your server.cfg, it will run these

What problems does this cause?

Most people don’t know this, and keep it in their server.cfg, or others devs add their own codes here, which is nonsense

  • People with slow computers or slow internet will be stuck here without being able to load the multicharacter
  • Or you’ll see this ped first, and then you’ll go to the multicharacter screen.

Did you know that? ESX won’t let you run them

--@see https://github.com/esx-framework/esx_core/blob/main/%5Bcore%5D/es_extended/server/main.lua


local DoNotUse = {
    ["basic-gamemode"] = true,
    ["mapmanager"] = true,
    ["fivem-map-skater"] = true,
    ["fivem-map-hipster"] = true,
    ["default_spawnpoint"] = true,
}


AddEventHandler("onResourceStart", function(key)
    if DoNotUse[string.lower(key)] then
        while GetResourceState(key) ~= "started" do
            Wait(0)
        end


        StopResource(key)
        print(("[^1ERROR^7] WE STOPPED A RESOURCE THAT WILL BREAK ^1ESX^7, PLEASE REMOVE ^5%s^7"):format(key))
    end
end)


for key in pairs(DoNotUse) do
    if GetResourceState(key) == "started" or GetResourceState(key) == "starting" then
        StopResource(key)
        print(("[^1ERROR^7] WE STOPPED A RESOURCE THAT WILL BREAK ^1ESX^7, PLEASE REMOVE ^5%s^7"):format(key))
    end
end

What should you do?

If you don’t need it, change ensure basic-gamemode to stop basic-gamemode in server.cfg or make it a comment line, and then make sure it is not running in txAdmin resources

Conclusion

  • If you don’t need it, don’t use it
  • To examine in more detail, you can look at the cfx-server-data repository
