Log 3: Fresh Install
Spawning Objects
Having the ability to spawn items is pretty handy, especially for testing. In the live build, I'm not sure about it though. For now, it's a necessary evil. Until we develop a better system for spawning items, as well as our character, we'll use vMenu and similar admin tools.
The Basics
This isn't our first time putting together a server with standalone scripts. I recommend making a list of what you think you want the server to be about and activities to offer. From there, you'll start seeing the basic scripts you need to add in. I always recommend some form of security/whitelist to keep random people from joining while you work (if listed).

Development Markers
With our fresh install on a Linux VPS, we can start adding in scripts to the server. We started with a menu script to spawn items that also doubles as a ban and admin monitoring script. Adding in a login screen to make our entry a little nicer was key. And adding a fuel script, vehicle failure, and wheel position were details for ‘immersion’.
vMenu
vMenu is a script that allows you to spawn objects. It's also a very good system for basic monitoring of your server right out the gate. Equipped with a ban list and permission groups for menu abilities, vMenu is a solid tool for our server right now.
Material Load - Loqrin
This loading screen has been out for over a year and is timeless. The layout is easy to work with, and does require some HTML confidence. It's a clean loading screen that's our favorite to use.
LegacyFuel
This is a pretty simple script that's easy to work. It adds a fuel system to your server, booom. If needed, you can easily edit the HUD location and which unit (KM/MPH) to use, among other details. This scripts' exports will come in handy later.
RealisticAirControl
Simple one, stops you from flipping and flopping like a fish in the air.
RealisticVehicleFailure
The best script EVER! Thank you iENS.
This script creates realistic vehicle failure that lets the car damage and fail rather than move like a tank.
Save Wheel Position
This is a key script for photos. Had to get it in first haha. This script keeps your wheels pointed in the direction you have them when you get out.
