Stream custom clothing as its own versioned server resource, preserve the package structure, and test it with a clean client before production. Do not rename drawable files or copy only the visible textures unless the creator explicitly documents that layout.

Confirm rights and entitlement first
Record the creator, purchase, license and server/account entitlement. A download does not prove redistribution or commercial-use rights. For escrowed resources, use the account and server key that own the entitlement; do not attempt to remove escrow protection. If the console reports an entitlement failure, fix account ownership and server-key association before changing the files.
Preserve the package anatomy
Inspect the extracted root. A resource should have its manifest at the level the server starts, with the creator’s documented folders and files beneath it. Clothing packages may include drawable and texture assets plus metadata that maps components or props. Keep names, case and directory structure exact.
- Do not nest the resource accidentally inside an extra release-folder level.
- Do not merge several creators’ packs until each works independently.
- Do not add manifest directives merely because another clothing pack uses them.
- Keep the original archive outside the server as the rollback source.
Install one resource
- Back up configuration and the existing clothing/menu resource.
- Upload the complete package into a dedicated folder under
resources. - Leggere
fxmanifest.luaand install documented dependencies. - Add one

Separate streaming from menu integration
A successfully streamed garment does not guarantee that a framework clothing shop or appearance menu will list it. Menus may store component, drawable, texture, gender/ped or collection identifiers in their own configuration or database. Follow the installed menu’s maintained documentation and verify whether existing saved outfits need migration.
Test with a clean client
| Test | Cosa verificare |
|---|---|
| Fresh join | The resource downloads and the player finishes loading without errors. |
| Ped coverage | Only the intended freemode ped/gender receives the assets. |
| Components and props | Drawable and texture indexes select the expected item. |
| Movimento | No severe clipping during walking, sprinting, sitting and vehicle entry. |
| Reconnect/restart | Saved outfits resolve after reconnect and server restart. |
Measure the rollout
Compare resource download size, clean-client join time, visible defects and console errors against the baseline. Test from more than the warm developer cache. Release one pack at a time so an index collision or malformed asset can be isolated.
Rollback
Disable the new ensure entry, restore the previous resource and configuration, and revert any menu or database migration from its backup. Reconnect with a clean test account and confirm the prior outfits still resolve before reopening the rollout.
