FiveM Roleplay Core

Problem

Community servers often lag because too many resources run at once. Server owners also struggled to grant admin access without sharing the entire database credential.

Approach

I split resources into a core layer, a jobs layer, and a UI layer. Every resource has explicit dependencies, and heavy logic moved server-side. The admin panel uses role-based permissions instead of a shared password. All database queries go through oxmysql with prepared statements.

Key features

• Character system with separate position, inventory, and money.
• Four starter jobs with salaries and progression.
• Permission-based admin panel with an action log.
• Tick-rate optimisation for resources that do not need per-frame updates.

Results

1. 01

   Server boot time fell from 38 seconds to 16 seconds.

2. 02

   Average CPU usage dropped by roughly 30% after idle resources were disabled.

3. 03

   New admins could be trained in minutes rather than hours.
