Weapon Metas by Snag [FiveM] [Standalone] [Free]

A FiveM resource that allows server owners to change game weapon's metadata. This can be used to change damage, damage types, ammo count, defaults, camera angles, aiming, recoil, weapon effects, smoke effects, etc.

This resource allows you to edit all player and vehicle weapons' meta files. This can be used to change damage, damage types, ammo count, defaults, camera angles, aiming, recoil, weapon effects, smoke effects, disable the combat roll, etc.

Editing a weapons meta is an easy and optimized way to balance weapons for your server. Here are a few examples of what you can do:

Change how sniper rifles work: I've removed the sniper scope, added third-person aim, added third-person focus zoom, added recoil, lowered bullet speed (to simulate projectile fire), lowered first-person FOV, added first-person ADS, changed first-person weapon offsets to fit the gun properly for first-person ADS, etc.

Change how shotguns work: I've edited the default pump shotgun to work as a less-than-lethal bean-bag shotgun by changing the bullet type, lowering the bullet count to 1, increasing accuracy, lowering bullet spread to 0, balanced force applied, balanced min and max force applied distance, limited the distance to hit to only 10 meters, changed damage type to that of the stun gun, changed the damage over time to 7 seconds (how long your character is tased), etc.

You can change them however you want!

The version I'm releasing here includes the original GTAV meta files and DLC meta files.

I will be re-releasing this later on as a paid resource with balance changes more suitable in a role play server. This will include the sniper and less-than-lethal changes showcased here.

Installation: Download the latest release from my Tebex store: https://snag.tebex.io/package/5259789

Unzip the resource.

Put the resource into your server's resources folder.

snag_weapon_metas's Issues

Modifying (Vanilla) Weapons Doesn't Work

For some aspects, this is less an "issue" but more of a support.

I'm attempting to modify the primary sidearms, (Pistol, Combat Pistol, etc..) but when I modify things like mag size, they don't change.

Is this normal? Is there something I can do to fix this?

Doesn't Work

Followed the installation, changed a vehicleweapon.meta drastically, but it didn't change anything.

There's no combat pistol in the script

I've been trying to edit the combat pistol but it isn't in the script

Extended mags dont get bigger

Im trying to make the extended mags for the APPistol and Combat Pistol to no avail help

Missing meta's

Love to see the Pump Shotgun and Grenade launchers meta's added to this.
As these are weapons we mainly using for Less Lethal.

Update to FXManifest

This is currently using the outdated _resource versus fxmanifest, as well as an old fx_verison.

Ideally, should rename _resource.lua to fxmanifest.lua, then change fx_version to 'cerulean'.

The server didnt pick up the changes

When i try to edit something it looks that the server dont stream the file or something.

Components

While this is an excellent resource and is super helpful, it is currently missing all the weapon components meta files. These are important for anyone looking to edit values like clip size, or attachments, etc for the vanilla weapons. I'd love to see these included in a new version.
