Installation

Installing lo_balloon is straightforward: the resource has no database and no NUI to compile. Just drop it into your resources and start it after vorp_core.

Prerequisites

• A working RedM server.
• The VORP framework installed, with vorp_core running.

1. Add the resource

Place the lo_balloon folder in your server's resources/ directory (or in a sub-folder you start, e.g. resources/[dks]/lo_balloon).

resources/
└── lo_balloon/
    ├── client/
    ├── server/
    ├── config.lua
    └── fxmanifest.lua

NOTE

There is no ui/ folder and no build step: no npm/pnpm command to run.

2. Start order

Add the resource to your server.cfg, after vorp_core:

ensure vorp_core
ensure lo_balloon

WARNING

lo_balloon depends on vorp_core. If the balloon is started before the core, the rental command and notifications will not work.

3. Verification

1. Start (or restart) the server, then connect in game.
2. Go to one of the rental points (for example near Strawberry, at the coordinates defined in Config.Rentals).
3. Approach the renter NPC: a "Rent a hot air balloon" prompt should appear.
4. Rent the balloon (the price is charged in cash), board it and test piloting.

TIP

On startup, the server console prints the result of the version check (GitHub). You can disable this check with Config.VersionCheck.enabled = false.
