Common Issues

If start CarcolsFixer errors out immediately or you see a child-process permission error in the console, the required line is missing from your server.cfg. Add it:

add_unsafe_child_process_permission 'CarcolsFixer'

Save server.cfg, restart your server, then run start CarcolsFixer again. See Setup for context.

This can happen on servers with a very large number of resources. To work around it, disable all but one of the checks at a time. For example, in config.json:

{
    'licensekey': 'LICENSE_KEY_HERE',
'skipResources': [ 'PATH/TO/RESOURCE', 'PATH/TO/RESOURCE2' ],
'checkSirenIDs': true,
'checkLightIDs': false,
'checkModkitIDs': false

}

Restart the resource in your server console:

restart CarcolsFixer

<p>Once it finishes, re-enable a different check and restart again. Repeat until all three checks have been run individually.</p>

There is no server-side workaround for this limit. The only known fix is a client-sided script — SirenSetting Limit Adjuster — which only fixes the issue for clients who have it installed.

Note: <PATH> in the message refers to the path of a carvariations or carcols file.

This means the carcols or carvariations file at the path in the error has invalid XML syntax. Open the file and check the tags — most often there is a stray </Item>, an unclosed element, or a mismatched tag near the bottom of the file.

Note: <PATH> refers to the path of the offending carvariations or carcols file.

Run revertCarcolsFixer in your FiveM server console. Your original carcols and carvariations files will be restored. See Reverting changes for details.
