FiveM Dev Diary #7: My GitHub Debut — Releasing Simple Teleport, My First Public Resource

Dev Diary #7. A record of publishing the finished simple_teleport on GitHub for the first time. From creating the repository and running git init / add / commit, to cutting Release v1.4.0 and adding an MIT License (including the slip of committing an empty file) — a first step as an open source developer.

FiveM Dev Diary #6: simple_teleport, a Teleport Tool I Can Use Every Day While Developing, Is Done — Every Feature I Originally Planned Is In

Dev Diary #6. I added /copycoords, which pulls coordinates out in three formats (vector4 / vector3 / raw), and /tpm, which teleports safely to a map waypoint. All five commands I originally planned are now in place, and at v1.4.0 the resource is done for now.

FiveM Dev Diary #5: Upgrading My Own Tool, simple_teleport — Adding /coords and /back, It Started to Feel Like Raising a Dev Tool Made Just for Me

Dev Diary #5. I upgraded simple_teleport, the teleport resource I built last time, adding /coords to show my current coordinates and heading, and /back to return to where I was (and hop back and forth). A record of the groundwork for placing NPCs and shops, verified in game.

FiveM Dev Diary #4: Fixing an Old MLO, "route68house," to Run in Today’s Environment — and Building My Own Teleport Tool for Development

Dev Diary #4. I investigated route68house, an MLO resource I had installed and then left alone, migrated its old __resource.lua to fxmanifest.lua, and registered it in server.cfg. It started up fine, but the building never appeared — so I recorded how I narrowed down the cause. I also built my own /tp command (simple_teleport) to speed up development.

FiveM Dev Diary #3: Restarting Development After a Pause — First, a "Status Check" That the Environment and My Own Resources Still Work

Dev Diary #3. I restarted FiveM server development after a health-related pause. First I did a status check that the environment (txAdmin, VS Code, Claude Code) and the resources I built through #2 (simple_character, simple_respawn, etc.) still work, and I set up a new DEVLOG.md.

FiveM Dev Diary #2: I Added txAdmin and vMenu, and Fixed the “Thrown to a Random Place Every Time” Problem by Having AI Write the Scripts

Dev Diary #2. After adding txAdmin and vMenu, I fixed the “thrown to a random place every time” problem with scripts written by AI — plus why MLO stalled and QBCore is on hold.

FiveM Dev Diary #1: With No English and No Coding, I Got a FiveM Server Running by Learning from AI

A first-hand record of an operator who knows no English or code getting a FiveM server running with help from AI — why it’s free to build, and what comes next (txAdmin, add-on cars, ZeroTier, MLO, QBCore).
