Getting Started

Install a Grand Theft Mods resource in minutes — place it, ensure it, and shape it to your server.

Every Grand Theft Mods product follows the same quiet rhythm: install the resource, start it before anything that depends on it, then refine the configuration until it feels like yours.

Install the resource

  1. Place the resource folder in your server’s resources directory.
  2. Keep the folder name intact (for example gtm-ui, gtm-siren, or gtm-ai-taxi).
  3. Add an ensure line to your server.cfg.
ensure gtm-ui
ensure gtm-siren
ensure gtm-ai-taxi

Start shared foundations before products that rely on them. If a product depends on GTM UI, ensure gtm-ui first.

Find the configuration

Most products ship with a config.json in the resource root. Open it in any editor and adjust the options documented for that product.

Some products also include:

  • framework.json — framework detection and account settings (where money or jobs are involved)
  • locales/ — language files for player-facing text
  • Additional config folders — for example vehicle profiles in GTM Siren

After you change a setting

Restart the resource (or the server) so your changes take effect. Prefer a resource restart while testing; use a full server restart when you change load order or add new files.
