| Dealership browser is empty | The catalog has no vehicles in the lot’s categories. Open /dealershipadmin → Import and import from your framework, or add models manually. |
Lots don’t show up after editing shared/locations.lua | You restarted the wrong resource. Use restart nexdev_dealerships (or refresh ; ensure nexdev_dealerships). Make sure each entry’s key (['pdm']) is unique. |
| Vehicle is bought but doesn’t show in the player’s garage | Wrong garage script wiring. The resource writes to owned_vehicles (ESX) or player_vehicles (QB/Qbox) — your garage script must read from that. If you use a non-standard schema, set Config.GiveVehicleFn. See Integrations → Garage. |
| Keys don’t work after purchase | Config.Keys.System doesn’t match the keys script you actually have running. Set Config.Debug = true and re-check on boot. For unsupported scripts, set Config.KeyFn. |
| Money is charged but the vehicle never spawns | The framework’s vehicle insert failed. Check the server console for the SQL error. Common cause: missing columns in owned_vehicles / player_vehicles — the resource only writes the standard columns; if your garage script added required columns, add a Config.GiveVehicleFn to fill them. |
/dealershipadmin does nothing when typed | You don’t have permission. Add it with add_ace identifier.steam:<HEX> nexdev_dealerships.admin allow, or grant group.admin via add_principal. |
/dealershipmgmt does nothing | You don’t own a dealership and aren’t an admin. Set yourself as the owner of a lot via /dealershipadmin → Set Owner, or add the management ace. |
| Catalog edits don’t propagate to other players | The sync event didn’t fire. Check the F8 console on the other player for receive errors. Make sure all clients are on the same resource version. |
| Test drive HUD timer is mis-positioned | Tweak Config.TestDrive.TimerPosition (normalized 0.0–1.0 screen coords). |
| Test drive ends instantly | The vehicle spawn failed at TestCoordinates — pick coords that are above ground level and clear of obstructions. |
| Showroom preview is on top of the ped | PreviewCoords is too close to PedCoordinates. Move it somewhere private — most operators use a rooftop or an interior. |
| Player has the vehicle but can’t see it on the map | Garage script issue — they likely have to retrieve it from DefaultGarage. Or set Config.Garage.State = 0 to spawn it parked. |
| Stock never goes down for a public lot | Config.Stock.EnforceOnPublic = false by default — public lots are unlimited. Flip it to true to enforce stock everywhere. |
| Restock orders never fulfil | The CreateThread worker that ticks orders runs once per minute. Wait a minute. If it never fires, the script crashed on boot — check the server console. |
| Financing payments don’t auto-debit | Players need to be online (or recently online) for installments to fire. If Config.Financing.Enabled = true and a real framework is detected, the worker runs every minute. Check the console for [nexdev_dealerships] errors. |
| Repossession deletes a vehicle the player just paid off | A race between manual pay-off and the auto-debit. Set a slightly longer Config.Financing.GraceMinutes. |
| Owner cut doesn’t pay out | Owner identifier in nexdev_dealership_settings.owner_identifier is wrong or unset. Re-run /dealershipadmin → Set Owner with the player’s steam identifier visible while they’re online. |
| Discord webhook isn’t firing | Config.Logs.Enabled = true and Config.Logs.Webhook set? Some networks block outbound from FiveM — test with curl from the server box. |
[ESX] players can’t be detected | If you’re on legacy ESX (pre-1.2), set Config.OldESX = true. |
| Display vehicles spawn but won’t accept paint | Vanilla colour indexes are integers 0–159. RGB takes { r, g, b }. If you pass both, RGB wins. |
