Frequently Asked Questions

Download from your account, drop the CarcolsFixer folder next to your server.cfg, paste your license key into config.json, then run node . from a terminal in that folder (Windows) or via SSH (Linux). Restart your vehicle resources after it finishes. Full steps are in the documentation.

Yes — every license has an Authorized IP. Set it to your server's IP (without the port) from the license page in your account, and you can regenerate the key at any time.

Node.js installed on the machine running your FiveM server. It runs as a standalone script — not as a FiveM resource started from server.cfg.

The Carcols Fixer doesn't depend on guess work, or any manual work. The script fully fixes all the vehicles in your server without the server developers having to do anything.

Running a FiveM server with a lot of vehicle packs means constantly fighting carcols ID conflicts. Every time you add a new car, you risk breaking the lights or sirens on an existing one — because GTA V only allows 255 unique siren IDs, and most vehicle packs don't coordinate their numbering. Carcols Fixer is the only automated tool built specifically to solve this. It scans every resource on your server, finds every carcols.meta and carvariations.meta file, detects duplicate siren IDs, light IDs, and modkit IDs, and rewrites the conflicting files with clean unique values — all in one run.
