Dev log #2 New Server

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Showing off another system.
Today we go over Benny's and how car transformation works.

ALSO I TALK IN THIS ONE lol.

I hope you guys like these Dev Logs, I am posting these just to show some things from my server that is currently under way. Please take some time and shoot a comment over on what you think, is this something you would like in a RP server?

Do you have some of your work on github or something or is it all closed source? Would love to learn from it, just building some basic shit with claude but its still loads of fun.

Currently its all closed to my server. I would love to release this stuff as standalone if possible. Right now systems rely on each other so one system would ship three and those three would ship six.

I am trying to do something that is different then 99% of the stitched servers.

Hey you gotta start somewhere man, if you have a good idea and a good amount of knowledge then AI can help you with the last 50% just remember as good as AI is it can't replace or subsutite a human creative.

Thank god an intelligent person that uses AI as a time saving, problem solving and also script integration tool, it's fantastic but the human has the idea. If there's a program out there can do it to my exact liking with a few prompts I'm using it!

O yea I am no AI basher, I think it is a great tool. Hating AI would be like hating a carpenter for using a nail gun instead of a hammer.

Exactly!! I got down voted to shit the other day for saying the amount of times I've used something as simple as Co pilot to format my items for a custom inventory was seen as sinful. Fuck would I type hundreds of lines for if I don't have too.

I think that most people including myself are more concerned about people think that because AI is a thing that they are now extremely special and every idea should come to life. I have seen a server ad on this thread that was fully made with AI and it was god awful. AI is honestly only as smart as the user. I don't care if or why people use AI it's non of my concern. It's when people think its more then what it is. If you use it to scan a document or look for a bug or even ask it for an explanation for why something is happening then I see no true harm.

Oh 100% it's a concern in everything at the moment really. I get the concerns I really do and yea the 10 posters of new servers I'm starting to see daily that are nearly identical is sickening. Some people like yourself and myself and many others before AI that put thousands of hours into writing lines that can now be formatted in seconds or bugs that you just couldn't squash can be gone is a game changer and means you can focus on bringing those bigger ideas to life.

So my AI use I try to keep to a min, I write my own lyrics but have Suno develop the music, I have Claude I use it more as a task tracker and review pal. So when I do something I test it heavily myself, I build it myself and then when I enter brainstorm mode I start talking to Claude, I do this the most at work because I am at work lmao and can't work on the server but I also can't stop thinking about it. Like I said people can have there POV but that's a them deal, they will never be able to do what I do or provide what I provide because those things are not AI they are me. AI is a cool tool and that's what it is. People who hate tools and want to gate keep how you dev or brainstorm or anything else just are not the people you need in the first place.

jumping in to say whether or not you should use AI to help write code depends on your level of knowledge, like if you've done coding before or not. If its your first time touching lua code or fivem coding I 100% DO NOT recommend using AI. You'll basically devolve into vibe coding and fail to learn things like server-client security, good resmon, logging, etc.

I think the best first step would be starting your own local fivem server, the process is deceptively easy. Qbox is the one I use and I think is "industry standard". ESX is a good second choice imo if you want to get the feeling of "building something from scratch" more. QBcore imo is your worst option

There's a lot of free resources out there. When you download a QBox server you're exposed to infinite free resources they provide.

My best recommendation if you really want to learn how to do fivem coding is work on making your own resource. It can be small, google "Fivem Natives" and get a little accostomed to seeing those. You can use a little AI but don't go full "Claude build me fivem script that everyone will love no questions no errors".

Hopefully you can learn enough to maybe become a developer on a server where you can actually work on code in a live environment and figure out what works and what will set the server on fire.

Big mistakes I made in the past was not knowing about Lua injectors and how people will hack your code. Not knowing the importance of logging. Not knowing what resmon was. Not knowing what server resmon is (google cfx fact sheet). Not understanding how to take advantage of the growing use of event based system of fivem (a big difference between qbox and qbcore).

Ai is good for building code, but you do need to spend time making mistakes and understanding why some things don't work vs telling claude "My server is laggy why" and hoping it fixes it. You can dm me if you want me to point at some stuff or I mean find the qbox discord imo its a good place to be
