How to Install RedM Scripts: CodeRanch Setup Checklist

Before You Install

Read the product requirements before uploading any files. Make sure your RedM framework, database resources, inventory resources, and other dependencies match what the script expects.

Back up your server configuration, resource files and database first. Use a test server when replacing a core system such as inventory or character creation. Keep a record of the versions you are installing so changes are easy to trace.

Download and Upload

Follow the download and account-linking instructions supplied with your purchase. Extract the resource folder and upload it to your server's resources directory. Use the folder name and installation instructions from the product documentation; avoid adding an extra parent folder around the actual resource.

Configure the Resource

Open the config files and set the options for your server. Check item names, job names, webhook links, language settings, coordinates, and any framework-specific settings before starting the resource.

Start the Script

Add the resource to server.cfg with an ensure line after its dependencies. Restart the server, watch the console for errors, and test the script with a staff account before letting players use it.

Test a Complete Interaction

Test permissions with both staff and ordinary player accounts. Check item names, currency rewards and job restrictions. Reconnect to verify that saved data persists, and test the resource alongside your existing inventory, notification and targeting systems.

If Something Does Not Work

Record the first server or client error, not just the final symptom. Recheck dependencies and startup order against the documentation. If you changed source files, reproduce the problem with a clean release on a test server. Send the product name, framework version, relevant error and reproduction steps through CodeRanch support.
