In this tutorial, you'll learn how to modify QBCore settings on your FiveM server using the Pterodactyl panel (VolticHost Game Panel). QBCore is a popular roleplay framework, and tweaking its configuration can help tailor gameplay to your community's preferences. This guide will walk you through accessing the QBCore configuration files, making adjustments, and applying your changes for an optimized roleplay experience. 🚀

📌 Prerequisites

  • A FiveM server purchased at VolticHost.com

  • Pre-installed FiveM with txAdmin, accessible via the VolticHost Game Panel

  • Basic knowledge of file management and text editing

  • Familiarity with QBCore and its configuration files (usually located in /resources/qb-core/)

1️⃣ First Step - Accessing the QBCore Configuration Files

  1. Log in to the Panel:

    • Open your web browser and navigate to the VolticHost Game Panel.

    • Log in with your provided credentials.

  2. Open the File Manager:

    • Navigate to the File Manager from the main dashboard.

  3. Locate the QBCore Resource Folder:

    • Go to the /resources/qb-core/ directory where the QBCore framework is installed.

  4. Backup the Configuration File:

    • Before making any changes, locate the config.lua file (or similar configuration file) within the QBCore folder and download a backup copy.

✅ QBCore configuration file located and backed up successfully!

2️⃣ Next Step - Editing QBCore Settings

  1. Open the Configuration File:

    • Use the panel's built-in editor to open the config.lua file.

  2. Review and Modify Settings:

    • Look for key settings such as locale, currency symbol, job configurations, or other roleplay-specific options.

    • For example, you might find lines similar to:

      Config = {}
Config.Locale = 'en'
Config.MoneySymbol = '$'

    • Modify these values to suit your server’s theme and requirements. For instance, change the locale to your desired language or update the money symbol if needed.

  3. Make Additional Customizations:

    • QBCore settings can also include options for job configurations, item limits, or interaction distances. Adjust these parameters as documented in the QBCore framework, ensuring your changes enhance the gameplay experience without causing conflicts.

  4. Save Your Changes:

    • Once you’ve made the necessary modifications, save the file.

✅ QBCore settings edited and saved successfully!

3️⃣ Next Step - Applying Changes and Testing

  1. Restart Your Server:

    • Go back to the txAdmin dashboard and click the Restart Server button to apply your changes.

  2. Monitor the Startup Logs:

    • Check the live console logs for any errors related to the configuration changes.

  3. Test In-Game:

    • Join your server and verify that your modifications are active. For example, check that the currency symbol displays correctly and that any job or locale settings reflect your changes.

✅ Changes applied and tested successfully!
