How to Install Map Builder X

Things to Know:

MBX Restore: Installing MBX Restore creates the base Map Builder X dlc for Singleplayer, FiveM, or RageMP. Installing MBX Restore needs to be done one time before installing MBX Packs.

MBX Pack: Installs the models, textures, and code based on the pack. MBX Packs have different names and can be installed together in any order once MBX Restore is installed.

Note: Reinstalling MBX Restore will deactivate all MBX Packs. You need to reinstall individual MBX Packs to use them again.

Requirements:

OpenIV - DOWNLOAD

ScriptHookV - DOWNLOAD

ScriptHookV .NET - DOWNLOAD

Placement Editor - (At least one required for using MBX Packs in singleplayer)

Map Editor - DOWNLOAD

Menyoo - DOWNLOAD

CodeWalker - DOWNLOAD

Notes:

OpenIV allows you to edit the DLC and add content to the game.

ScriptHookV and ScriptHookV .NET allow you to use Map Editor and Menyoo in singleplayer mode.

Map Editor, Menyoo, or CodeWalker allow you to spawn MBX models into the game and create maps.

Singleplayer Installation (OIV Method):

Install requirements and extract the downloaded .zip folder.

Drag "MBX-RESTORE.oiv" into OpenIV. (Click install* then select "mods" folder)

Drag "MBX-PACK.oiv" into OpenIV. (Click install* then select "mods" folder)

Export "mbx.ytyp.xml" from "mbx.rpf" using OpenIV in edit mode. (GTA V/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/mbx/dlc.rpf/mbx.rpf)

Import the exported "mbx.ytyp.xml" back into "mbx.rpf" using OpenIV in edit mode. (GTA V/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/mbx/dlc.rpf/mbx.rpf)

Place the "mbx" folder into the dlcpacks folder. (GTAV/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks)

Add the following line to your "dlclist.xml" using OpenIV in edit mode. (GTAV/mods/update/update.rpf/common/data)
       <Item>dlcpacks:/mbx/</Item>

Export everything from "mbx.rpf" to the "mbx_fivem/stream" folder using OpenIV. (GTA V/mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/mbx/dlc.rpf/mbx.rpf)

Open your "server.cfg" file located in your server data root and add the "mbx_fivem" folder name to the start command and save.


[EXAMPLE] - server.cfg
# Only change the IP if you're using a server with multiple network interfaces, otherwise change the port only.
