[Release] LiveMap

Sorry, about that. Here’s a few links so you can see it working in the wild (if there’s people on the server).

The coordinates need to be inside a “pos” table, inside the blip table. So, blip = { pos={x=18.18, y=182.1,z=83.28}}. As can be seen in the blips_server.lua file.

Hi Havoc, I have recently installed the live_map resource to my server, and it’s tracking the user perfectly. But, I do get the error of missing blips, it cannot load the blips.json, and it’s funny, I can’t seem to find any files named that.

What to do?

Raoul_Molenaar · November 26, 2018, 7:53am

You forgot, as has been said over 10 times now, to do /blips generate while ingame

CyberBismo · November 26, 2018, 9:02am

Uhh, okay, thanks.

Sorry, I don’t go through all messages here

123LladdCae · November 26, 2018, 3:44pm

Is it possible to change the color of the blip?

123LladdCae · November 26, 2018, 5:33pm

And also, to remove all the other blips generated? I deleted the file and also tried deleting everything in it, but as soon as the resource is restarted, it just puts them all back again. I only want to have the ones I make via events, not the original command that generated the blips on the map.

Havoc · November 26, 2018, 10:02pm

Not without modifying the sprite map in the interface.

Stop the resource, delete the file and start the resource again.

Kevin_Kolls · November 26, 2018, 10:26pm

I need help setting this up for my server, I don’t understand how to do it…

123LladdCae · November 26, 2018, 10:53pm

Thank you so much! Now, I know i’ve been asking a hell of a lot but is there a way to add a blip via the webserver? Rather than just straight from the fivem server? I promise this will be my last question haha <3

INJDev · November 30, 2018, 4:42am

Quick question. I added the files to FiveM, added the code to server.cfg, and setup the website. I have done the website in the past, never the server side before this.
It generates all the blips but the actual player. What am I missing?

JasonO · December 3, 2018, 1:30pm

The live mapping will work as long as it’s setup okay with correct details and the resource is running.

Havoc:

Installing live_map

Download the latest version from here

Extract into it’s own folder (i.e. resources/live_map , can be wherever you like)

Configure the server.cfg file

Start the server

If you have successfully installed it, you should see the following in the console:

image.png1050x80 4.34 KB

Installing live_map-interface

Download the latest version from here

Download the map images from here

Extract into your webserver (however you want to configure this, I suggest extracting into it’s own directory)

Extract the images to images/map/ (You can change this).

Change the values inside utils/config.php

Check it works

It should look like http://map.tgrhavoc.me

Configuring live_map

If you just want to get this up and running, you don’t need to configure anything. Just start it up and you should be good to go!

Otherwise, you can configure the resource by changing convars (make sure these are above the start live_map ).

Name Type Default Value Description

socket_port int 30121 Sets the port the socket server should listen on

livemap_debug int 0 Sets how much information gets printed to the console (0 = none, 1 = basic information, 2 = all)

blip_file string “server/blips.json” Sets the file that will contain the generated blips (saved and loaded on the server) that is exposed via HTTP

livemap_access_control string “*” Sets the domain that is allowed to access the blips.json file (E.g. “https://example.com” will only allow the UI on http://example.com to get the blips), “*” will allow everyone

Configuring live_map-interface

You will need to configure the interface to get stuff working.

The main variables that you need to change in the utils/config.php file are:
$fivemIP // Set this to your FiveM server IP (or domain)
$fivemPort // Set this to the FiveM port (usually 30120)
$socketPort // Set this to the socket port (set in the convar, default 30121)
$liveMapName // Set this to the name of the resource (if you changed it, default "live_map")
// E.g., if you changed the resource folder to `resources/map` then you would have to change "$liveMapName" to "map"
All the variables are commented so, you should get an idea of what happens when you change them.

Phew… Time to talk events. In an effort to make the addon useful to other developers, I’ve created a few events that can be used to make changes to the data being sent to the UI.

I have done this, my understanding what comes after is for further development only. I have also done “blips generate” through F8 in game. I get all blips but the actual players. Any ideas?

Lorenzo_G · December 8, 2018, 5:32pm

How do I do “blips generate” through the f8 console when it says I dont have permission.

Havoc · December 8, 2018, 7:16pm

Probably incorrect socket port.

Make yourself an admin through ace permissions.

bgn · December 10, 2018, 10:38pm

I am really struggling to do this! lol I’m trying to link it to my cad but unfortunately it wont?

Any help please? I followed everything as described got it loaded in console etc.

Screenshot_4

Screenshot_3

If someone could walk me through it, it be much appreciated. Also when I try and go to module settings on cad what do I put for url please? I have put example.com or what ever it is but don’t seem to work? Thanks

I don’t get whats so funny? Im trying to ask for help so whats funny?

INJDev · December 10, 2018, 11:28pm

I had set it to the FivM port and set it all up for that, I changed it to +1 and it all works! Thank you
