Getting Started with GTA V/FiveM Vehicle Mod Creation - Need Advice & Tutorials!

I’m running a FiveM server and want to dive into creating custom vehicle mods for GTA V/FiveM. I’m a beginner in this area and eager to learn the ropes. I’d love to hear from experienced modders about their process and any tips or basic tutorials you can share to help me get started. Specifically, I have a few questions:

1. Programming Languages: What programming or markup languages are commonly used for vehicle modding in GTA V/FiveM?
2. Essential Skills: What key skills or knowledge should I focus on to successfully create vehicle mods?
3. 3D Modeling Software: What are the best 3D modeling programs for creating or editing vehicle models?

Any personal experiences, beginner-friendly tutorials, or resources you can point me to would be greatly appreciated. Excited to join the modding community and start building some cool vehicles!

Thanks,

XLua vs Lua cysharp for game config files.

Can't understand what's the difference between XLua and Lua-CSharp. Which one will be more performant and gc-efficient for use in Unity? Specifically, I want to implement game configs with Lua. No complex logic, mostly numbers, strings, and some math. Something like Json on steroids.

I'm also wondering about performance: should I parse all the data from Lua into C# objects at application startup, or can I use objects directly from Lua noscripts in runtime? Accordingly, in the first option, it is better to use mostly static data and minimal logic in Lua?

Caelum Framework - A new structured way of writing lua

Hi, today i wanted to share with you a framework that i built in these weeks in lua: Caelum-lua. This framework was created with the objective to have a way to write lua noscripts that was easy to understand, even for programmers like me that have never coded in lua, and to make them easy to integrate in engines or other types of applications .

In fact the framework originated from a need of having a noscripting language for my future application that was fast, easy to use and to embed in my application, and that would give me a way of showing informations from the noscripts in the application editor.

This made me go for lua, but it lacked of a consistent information about types of the values created and used in the noscript, so it was difficult for me to show them in an easy and consistent form in the ui.

After weeks of developing, searching, and asking ai questions about the best tips and tricks for writing lua, it was born, the Caelum Library.

On this day the library has reached a semi-functional and ready-to-use state, so I wanted to share it with you, so that more people can give me opinions, critics, ways of improving it and also general advices on the lua programming language that I am learning to love.

Who compiles this code for me and publishes it on Drive PLS

The code is:

pls help with list and for loop (imapfilter)

Hi everybody,

I am trying to clean up my `imapfilter` lua config. Total beginner, this is how far I got, but I cannot solve the final issue. Can you please help me?

results = {}

my_accounts = {
"one",
"two"
}

my_contain_body = { "Werbung" }

my_contain_subject = { "Wichtig" }

my_contain_from = {
"contact@bigdatacloud.com",
"Temu",
"Discord"
}

for each in pairs(my_accounts) do
-- FROM
for value in pairs(my_contain_from) do
table.insert(results, string.format("%s.INBOX:contain_from('%s')", my_accounts[each], my_contain_from[value]))
end
-- BODY
for value in pairs(my_contain_body) do
table.insert(results, string.format("%s.INBOX:contain_body('%s')", my_accounts[each], my_contain_body[value]))
end
-- SUBJECT
for value in pairs(my_contain_subject) do
table.insert(results,
string.format("%s.INBOX:contain_subject('%s')", my_accounts[each], my_contain_subject[value]))
end
end

I am able to run

for each in pairs(results) do
print(results[each])
end

in my test file and receive lines such as `one.INBOX:contain_from('Temu')`.

The last line in my `config.lua` is this

results:delete_messages()

When I run `imapfilter`, I get this

imapfilter: /home/me/.imapfilter/config.lua:210: attempt to call a nil value (method 'delete_messages')
stack traceback:
[C]: in method 'delete_messages'
/home/me/.imapfilter/config.lua:210: in main chunk

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? I was hoping I could automate creating the list instead of having it like this (current configuration)

results = (
one.INBOX:contain_from("Temu") +
two.INBOX:contain_body("Temu") +
one.INBOX:contain_from("Discord") +
two.INBOX:contain_body("Discord") +
-- (...)
)

The results list seems to include anything and everything I want (I can print all the expected values), but the `delete_messages` function does not work.

Thank you in advance for your help :)

How to Lua with Leadwerks 5

Hi guys, I spent all week putting together this super Lua lesson for game developers. It's focused on using Lua with our game engine Leadwerks 5, but most of the knowledge is general Lua programming. Please let me know if any parts of it are confusing, and if you have any ideas how it can be improved. I hope you enjoy the tutorial!

LUA Failure

I tried to create my own mod for Farming Simulator 25. Basically, I wanted to do some of the things Autodrive does, but I don't like the way it does it. I failed. I have a lot of code, but no error messages in my FS25 log.

I don't want to do a copy & paste or a screenshot, but I'd gladly share it here. I added a GNU license to it. so anyone can make it work can use it.

@r_lua

why

you guys know lua dont really support continue because the creator want minimalistic, if something can be done clearly with existing constructs, lua prefers to not add new syntax.

then why the hell lua creator add repeat until when we can use while loop to mimic this statement?

Lua learner de/ger

Hey everyone,
I’m 15 and just started learning Roblox Lua from absolute zero — I have no coding experience at all.

I decided to document my learning journey step by step on TikTok (the videos are in German), mainly to stay motivated and maybe help others who are starting out too.
My Channel is forcgz
If you’re also learning Lua, working on Roblox projects, or just curious, feel free to check it out. I’d really appreciate any support or tips from more experienced devs!
