Setup

Step 2 — Setting up Carcols Fixer in your FiveM server

1. Download the product from your profile page.
2. Once the download is complete, unzip the folder.
3. Drag & drop the unzipped CarcolsFixer folder into your server''s resources/ directory — the same folder that contains your other FiveM resources.
4. Open your server.cfg and add the following line so FiveM allows Carcols Fixer to run its child process:

   add_unsafe_child_process_permission CarcolsFixer

   Why this is needed

   Carcols Fixer launches a short-lived helper process to scan and rewrite your carcols and carvariations files. FiveM requires resources to declare this with add_unsafe_child_process_permission. Without this line, the resource will fail to start.

5. Open the config.json file inside the CarcolsFixer folder. You will see this structure:

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

6. Replace LICENSE_KEY_HERE with the license key from your license page.
7. Advanced — only edit if you know what you are doing

   skipResources lets you tell Carcols Fixer to ignore specific resources. Paths must be absolute (e.g. /home/fxserver/server-data/resources/NORTHERNMODS), wrapped in double quotes, and separated by commas.

8. Set checkSirenIDs to false to skip checking sirenSettings IDs.
9. Set checkLightIDs to false to skip checking lightSettings IDs.
10. Set checkModkitIDs to false to skip checking modKit IDs.
