Step 1: Download the Liberty City Map
First, download the Liberty City map from the provided link above. Make sure to unzip the downloaded file to a known location on your computer.
Step 2: Access Your FiveM Server Directory
Locate your FiveM server directory. This is usually the folder where your server's executable files are stored.
Step 3: Create a New Folder for Liberty City
Inside your server directory, navigate to the resources folder. Create a new folder and name it liberty_city.
Step 4: Copy the Map Files
Copy the contents of the unzipped Liberty City map into your newly created liberty_city folder in the resources directory.
Step 5: Configure the server.cfg
To ensure your server loads the Liberty City map, you'll need to update the server.cfg file. Open server.cfg with a text editor and add the following line:
start liberty_city
Step 6: Restart Your Server
Save the changes to server.cfg and restart your FiveM server. When the server restarts, it should load the Liberty City map automatically.
Not working?
- Map Not Loading: Double-check that the Liberty City map files are correctly placed in the
liberty_cityfolder and that there's no spelling error in yourserver.cfgentry. - Server Crashes: Ensure that all required dependencies for the Liberty City map are correctly installed and up-to-date.
With Liberty City installed on your FiveM server, you're all set for an exciting new range of roleplaying possibilities. Explore the expansive and nostalgic streets of Liberty City with your community and take your server to new heights.
