This error means the FiveM account linked to your server's license key does not have access to this resource. Please verify the following: * The CFX key in your `server.cfg` contains no typo * The key belongs to the FiveM account used to purchase the resource * The resource has been successfully purchased on our store * The key belongs to you and not to your hosting provider > ⚠️ Hosts offering shared CFX keys in their packages prevent the use of any resource protected by FiveM's Escrow system, without exception. *** ## ❌ Menu opens but no vehicles are displayed **Possible causes:** * `vehicles.lua` is empty or contains a syntax error * The `category` field in a vehicle entry does not match any `name` in `categories.lua` * The player's department doesn't match the restrictions set in the area's `departments` table **Fix:** Check that category names match exactly between `vehicles.lua` and `categories.lua`. Enable `DEBUG = true` in `config.lua` to print loaded permission codes in the console. *** ## ❌ Vehicle delivery is stuck "en route" The NPC was spawned but the vehicle never arrives and the status stays blocked. **Fix:** Use the debug command (default `/debug`) to manually reset the delivery. If this happens frequently, check that: * `ParkingSlotDectionRange` is not set too high * No other resource is deleting NPC-driven vehicles before they arrive * The NPC ped model defined in `Mechano_Ped` is valid and loadable *** ## ❌ Vehicle spawns far from the player / NPC delivery triggered unexpectedly **Possible causes:** * No parking slot was found within `ParkingSlotDectionRange`, so the NPC delivery fallback was triggered (expected behavior when `Ship_Vehicle_If_Zero_Slot_Available = true`) **Fix:** If you want vehicles to always spawn nearby, add custom parking slots near your most-used areas in `parkings.lua`, or increase `ParkingSlotDectionRange` slightly. *** ## ❌ Players can access vehicles they should not **Possible causes:** * `whitelist = false` is set on a vehicle or category that should be restricted * `permissionCode` does not exactly match the code returned by your permission system * The `departments` table in the area config is set to `{}` instead of a specific list, allowing all departments **Fix:** Review the `whitelist` and `permissionCode` values in `vehicles.lua` and `categories.lua`. Check `permissions.lua` to confirm the codes being assigned to players match what you expect. *** ## ❌ Notifications are not displayed **Possible causes:** * `Notifications_Type` is set to an unrecognized value — valid values are `"notification"`, `"chat"`, and `"other"` * The `MS_Madonne_Notify` resource is not started before `MS_Madonne_CarSpawner` in `server.cfg` **Fix:** Set `Notifications_Type = "notification"` to use native FiveM notifications, or ensure `MS_Madonne_Notify` is ensured first in your `server.cfg`. *** ## ❌ ESX jobs are not recognized as permission codes **Possible causes:** * `Framework` is still set to `"standalone"` in `config.lua` * The `permissionCode` in categories or vehicles doesn't exactly match the ESX job name **Fix:** Set `Framework = "esx"` in `config.lua`, then set `permissionCode` to the ESX job name (e.g. `"police"`). The ESX integration is handled automatically via `framework/esx.lua`. *** ## 💬 Need further help?
