📎 Tutorial: How to Install a Ready-Made Map on FiveM

1. 📁 Place the map in the resources folder

Move the ready-made map folder (e.g., NW_map) into your server’s resources folder.

Example path: cfx-server/resources/[maps]/new-age-studios

2. 🧹 Delete the server cache

Before starting the server, delete the cache folder located at the root of the server. This prevents old data from interfering with the correct map loading.

3. 📜 Add to server.cfg

Open the server.cfg file and add the following lines in this order:

ensure new-age-studios-river-data
ensure new-age-studios-river-map

Below ensure new-age-studios-river-map, add the rest of your maps.

4. ▶️ Start the server

Run your server as usual.
