Scripts on FiveM servers, packed as regular FiveM resources.

This page is generated from the SDK's platform registry (sdk/environments.json) and the adapter's SETUP.md. The FiveM page on the site is the short version.


Status	Planned: not usable yet
Runs on	Server and client
Languages	Lua 5.4
Protection	No licence check; releases are signed
Runtime	FXServer and the FiveM client (Lua 5.4)

How it runs

FiveM already runs this resource shape. scriptgo pack --target fivem emits a resource folder with a generated fxmanifest.lua and one shared shim file, loaded first, that maps ScriptGo.* onto FiveM natives. Threads, events and exports stay FiveM's own.

The adapter's code and README: sdk/adapters/fivem.

Set up

Planned: there are no setup steps for it.

Capabilities

What the adapter provides. See SDK and capabilities for what each one is.

Capability	Support	Note
`events`	Supported	FiveM's own events and exports; TriggerEvent runs its handlers at once instead of on the next tick.
`logging`	Supported	print to the server console (channel script:<resource>) or the client console, with the level in front.
`storage`	Supported	Resource KVP (GetResourceKvpString / SetResourceKvp) on both sides, values stored as JSON text.
`players`	Supported	Server side: GetPlayers, GetPlayerName, and the license: identifier.
`permissions`	Supported	Server side: ACE (IsPlayerAceAllowed), granted with add_ace in server.cfg.
`commands`	Supported	RegisterCommand; restricted commands check the ACE command.<name>.
`config`	Supported	Server side: the convar <resource>:<key> (set in server.cfg).
`ui`	Fallback	Chat messages (chat:addMessage, handled by FXServer's chat system resource).
`http`	Partial	Server side, through PerformHttpRequest; redirects are not followed. No host allow-list: the server owner decides what a resource may call.
`licensing`	Not available	Not implemented: the shim has no licence check. It was written without one after Rockstar's Creator Platform License Agreement (2026-09-10, §3.1(6)), which forbids a third-party marketplace that sells or licenses server content.
`perks`	Not available	Not switched on: the shim does not carry the core's perks module.
`presence`	Partial	Server side, in a resource that declares presence: `scriptgo pack --target fivem` keeps the shim's player match section, with the core's presence module included word for word. /link works over PerformHttpRequest; presence reports only in address mode (`scriptgo_presence_addr`, default off; the owner's decision on it is pending), from GetPlayerEndpoint, since FiveM's Lua has no HMAC. Unit-tested against stub natives; not run on an FXServer with a connected player.

Protection

No licence check in the shim, so a package runs there without one. Releases are still signed.

See Protect your work for what protection does and does not do.

Assets

Maps, models, textures, sounds and other files players download. See Selling assets.


Support	Supported
`assets`	files under stream/ are streamed to players; other files are listed in files {} and downloaded by players
`environment_asset`	streamed game files under stream/ (.ydr, .yft, .ytd, .ymap, .ytyp ...) and data files listed by data_file
Pack	`scriptgo pack --target fivem`

Packed (fxmanifest files, data_file, this_is_a_map); not run on FXServer, which needs a Cfx.re licence key.

Asset escrow: No client work is possible from a resource; FiveM's own Asset Escrow covers stream files on its side.

The platform's own rules

The platform's creator terms keep paid server content on its own marketplace (Rockstar Games Creator Platform License Agreement, 2026-09-10, §3.1(6)).

This is the platform's rule, shown as information: whoever runs a script there answers for following it. It does not change what can be sold on SCRIPT//GO. See the rules.

Limits

Planned: no run on a real FXServer has passed yet. FXServer does not start without a Cfx.re registration key (sv_licenseKey).
No licence check: scriptgo pack --target fivem refuses a package that needs one (licensed true, or the licensing capability), because the shim could not enforce it.
Only the server half can be verified; the client half needs the game.
require finds no resource module on FiveM: list every module as a script.
The client has no os: ScriptGo.time.now() is nil there.
RedM runs the same shim (game rdr3); it is not built or verified yet.

Real runs

No real run yet. Waiting for a server key: FXServer does not start without a Cfx.re registration key (sv_licenseKey).
