Configuration files
All of vMenu’s configuration files are in resources/vMenu.Enhanced/config/.
Permissions and settings
Section titled “Permissions and settings”| File | What it is for |
|---|---|
permissions.cfg |
Who may use which part of the menu. |
configuration.cfg |
Which features are turned on, and how they behave. |
You make these yourself by copying permissions.cfg.example and configuration.cfg.example, see the install guide for FiveM Enhanced or FiveM Legacy. Do not edit the .example files. vMenu rewrites them on every start.
Lists and content
Section titled “Lists and content”| File | What it is for |
|---|---|
| announcements.json | Messages that are sent to everybody automatically. |
| blips.json | Markers on the map. |
| clothing-presets.json | Outfits everybody can wear. |
| extras.json | Names for vehicle extras. |
| model-whitelists.json | Single vehicles, peds or weapons that need their own permission. |
| ped-models.json | The peds players can turn into. |
| tattoos.json | The tattoos in the character creator. |
| teleport-categories.json | Saved teleport locations. |
| vehicle-categories.json | Your own categories in the Vehicle Spawner. |
| walking-styles.json | The walking styles players can pick. |
| weapon-components.json | Names for weapon attachments. |
| weapons.json | The weapons players can get. |
| weather-cycle.json | Your own weather schedule. |
There is no file for vehicles. vMenu finds them in the game by itself, see Peds, vehicles and weapons.
After you edit a file
Section titled “After you edit a file”Restart the resource. Changes only show up after that.
Two exceptions:
| File | When changes show up |
|---|---|
weather-cycle.json |
When you change a weather setting, or restart the resource. |
tattoos.json |
When a player reconnects. |
Editing from inside the menu
Section titled “Editing from inside the menu”Staff can change these files from inside the menu, without restarting anything:
announcements.jsonblips.jsonclothing-presets.jsonteleport-categories.json
When the menu saves one of them, any // comments you wrote in that file are removed. For the menu to save at all, your server.cfg needs this line:
add_filesystem_permission vMenu.Enhanced write vMenu.EnhancedMistakes in a file
Section titled “Mistakes in a file”A mistake only breaks the entry it is in. That entry is skipped, the rest still works, and the server console tells you which entry and why. For tattoos.json that message is in the player’s F8 console instead.
// comments and a comma after the last item are fine in every file.
Updating vMenu
Section titled “Updating vMenu”A new release comes with its own copies of these files. Back up the files you changed before you update, and put them back afterwards.
