This no-fluff guide how to maintain FiveM scripts is for server owners, developers, and QA leads. You’ll get a production-like “Test City” in Docker, an acceptance checklist you can run end-to-end, a quantitative risk scoring model, and a vendor-vetting rubric that keeps you away from headaches.

Özetle;

• Spin up Test City (Docker) to isolate and benchmark any script safely.
• Çalıştır Acceptance Checklist before a penny changes hands.
• Kullanın Risk Score (0–100) to decide ship/hold/reject.
• Vet sellers with the Vendor Rubric (don’t skip this).
• If you buy, prefer reputable stores — see our picks: Best Tebex Shops.

Part 1 — “Test City” (Docker) for Safe, Repeatable Script QA

What you get

• Containerized FXServer + MariaDB (+ Adminer)
• Clean sunucu.cfg ile oxmysql and base resources
• Bind-mounted resources/custom where you drop the script under test
• Deterministic network names/ports for simple DB strings

Download test-city.zip (Github)

How to use:

1. Unzip → cd test-city
2. Kopyala .env.example ile .env and set your LICENSE_KEY (and DB creds if you like).
3. Düşürmek oxmysql içine server-data/resources/[standalone]/oxmysql/.
4. Put the script under test into server-data/resources/custom/<scriptname>/ ve ekle ensure <scriptname> ile sunucu.cfg.
5. docker compose build && docker compose up -d → connect via Direct Connect to localhost:30120.

Prereqs: Docker + Docker Compose, a cfx license key, and an oxmysql resource copy (drop into server-data/resources/[standalone]/oxmysql).

Part 2 — Script Acceptance Checklist (Do Not Skip)

Use this every time. Copy into your tracker and check off items.

A. Pre-flight (before install)

• Source type: Open source / partially open / escrow-only.
• Dependencies listed: framework (ESX/QBCore/QBOX), ox_kütüphane, oxmysql, Çok Bölge, vesaire.
• fxmanifest.lua: lua54 'yes', correct oyun 'gta5', fx_sürümü not ancient.
• Docs: install steps, config examples, permissions, locales, known conflicts.
• License/ToS: usage rights, refund policy, updates, support channel.

B. Installability

• No console errors on emin olmak: zero stack traces or asset missing spam.
• HAYIR deprecated natives spam.
• Config loads clean: no JSON/Lua syntax errors.
• DB migrations: create tables once; re-starts don’t re-apply or break.

C. Functional

• Çekirdek flows work: happy path tested (e.g., purchase, job flow, crafting).
• Edge cases: wrong inputs, missing perms, out-of-range quantities.
• Localization: no hard-coded strings if locales promised.
• İzinler: staff/admin commands gated; no free access client-side.

D. Performance (client & server)

• resmon: idle ≤ 0.10ms, active ≤ 0.50ms (client).
• Server tick health: no long hitch warnings under normal use.
• DB queries: no tight loops; prepared statements used; minimal N+1.

E. Security

• Server-side validation: every server event validates source, perms, and input types.
• No trust in client: money/inventory changes only from server logic.
• No eval/loadstring/remote code patterns.
• Anti-abuse: rate limits/throttles on spammy endpoints.
• Escrow integrity: no backdoors in non-escrow config loaders.

Good event pattern (example):

RegisterNetEvent('myscript:buy', function(item, amount)
  local src = source
  if type(item) ~= 'string' or type(amount) ~= 'number' or amount < 1 then return end
  if not HasPermission(src, 'shop.buy') then return end
  local xPlayer = GetPlayer(src) -- framework adapter
  if not xPlayer then return end
  -- validate price server-side, check inventory limits, do DB in a transaction
end)

F. Compatibility & Cleanliness

• Framework adapters present (ESX/QBCore/QBOX) or clearly declared unsupported.
• No globals leakage, unique event names, no resource name assumptions.
• Uninstall clean: removing the resource doesn’t break others.

Part 3 — Quantitative Risk Scoring Model (0–100)

Use this to decide “ship/hold/reject.” Lower is better.

Factor	Weight	How to Score (0=good → 5=bad)
Performans	0.20	resmon idle: 0=≤0.10ms, 1=≤0.20, 3=≤0.50, 5=>0.50; spikes add +1
Güvenlik	0.25	0=all server-validated + rate limits; 3=some gaps; 5=trusts client / unsafe events
İstikrar	0.15	0=no errors; 3=occasional warnings; 5=frequent errors/hitches
Uyumluluk	0.10	0=adapters/tests; 3=one framework only; 5=breaks common deps
Maintainability	0.10	0=docs/changelog/semantic versions; 5=no docs/abandoned
Supply-chain/Vendor	0.20	0=reputable, history, refunds; 5=unknown, no policy

Formula

RiskScore = 100 * Σ(weight_i * (score_i / 5))

Bands & Actions

• 0–24 (Low): Ship to staging, monitor.
• 25–49 (Moderate): Fixes required before live.
• 50–74 (High): Hold; request vendor patches or replace.
• 75–100 (Critical): Reject.

Örnek

• Perf=1, Sec=3, Stability=1, Compat=1, Maint=2, Vendor=1
• Risk = 100*(.2*.2 + .25*.6 + .15*.2 + .1*.2 + .1*.4 + .2*.2) = 34 → Moderate

Part 4 — Vendor Vetting Rubric (score each 0–5, higher is daha iyi)

Criterion	What “Good” Looks Like	Notlar
Identity & Track Record	Clear brand, years active, consistent handle	Avoid burner stores
Belgeleme	Install + config + perms + troubleshooting	Screenshots/gifs help
Update Cadence	Changelog, semantic versions, recent commits/releases	Quarterly+ is fine
Support Quality	Ticket/Discord SLAs, reproducible fixes, not just “restart”	Sample responses
Issue Transparency	Public known issues & roadmap	Honesty > perfection
Refund/ToS Clarity	Refund window, conditions, license terms	No dark patterns
Testing Proof	Staging video, perf metrics, framework list	Even better: demo server
Security Hygiene	Mentions server-side checks, no sensitive keys, no eval	Ask about audits
Compatibility Policy	ESX/QBCore/QBOX stated, adapters, version matrix	State supported builds
Pricing & Value	Fair for complexity, no dependency paywalls	Watch upsell traps

Rubric Score (0–50):

• 40–50: Strong — preferred vendor
• 30–39: Acceptable — monitor
• 20–29: Weak — proceed cautiously
• <20: Avoid

Part 5 — Maintenance Playbook (After You Ship)

1. Version pinning: lock script releases + dependency versions (e.g., oxmysql, ox_kütüphane).
2. Staging first: all updates land in Test City; run the acceptance checklist again.
3. Backups & rollback: DB snapshot + resource files before each update. Keep a Rollback.md with exact steps.
4. CI smoke test (optional, recommended): headless client connect + command macro to hit main flows; parse server console for errors.
5. Operational metrics: keep a simple ledger per script: average resmon (idle/active), error count/session, incident notes.
6. Changelog discipline: require vendor changelogs; maintain your own integration notes.
7. De-risk scheduled events: update outside peak hours; announce maintenance windows.

Part 6 — Templates You Can Copy

A. Test Plan (per script)

# Script Test Plan — <name> <version>

## Context
Framework(s): ESX/QBCore/QBOX

- [ ] Rate limits present
- [ ] No client-trusted money/inventory mutations

## Logs & Errors
Paste snippet (server + F8): 

## Result
Pass/Fail + Notes

B. Rollback.md (skeleton)

# Rollback — <date> <script> <from→to>

1) Disable script: `stop <resource>`
2) Restore resource files from backup: <path>
3) Restore DB snapshot: <path/command>
4) Restart FXServer
5) Verify: console clean, perf normal, flows ok

How to Use This Guide Efficiently

1. Bootstrap Test City once, keep it clean.
2. For each candidate script:
   • Drop into resources/custom/, enable in sunucu.cfg.
   • Çalıştır Acceptance Checklist.
   • Compute the Risk Score.
   • Vet the seller with the Vendor Rubric.
3. If it passes, merge into staging; if not, request fixes or walk away.
