vMenu
A staff panel for vMenu servers
vMenu is an admin menu, and FiveStaff does not pretend otherwise
It keeps no character, no money, no inventory, no job and no owned vehicles — so there is nothing for FiveStaff to read or edit, and every framework method says so plainly instead of guessing. Everything that is not framework data works exactly as it does anywhere else.
What FiveStaff sees on vMenu
- Characters vMenu keeps none
- Money none to read
- Jobs none to read
- Items none to read
- Bans imported from bans.json
Framework data
What FiveStaff reads and changes on vMenu
What FiveStaff reads
- Nothing from the framework, because there is none
- Your existing vMenu ban list, on import
What staff can change
- Nothing to the framework
Every one of these goes through the same pipeline as a ban: permission-checked and written to the audit log with what it was before. Item, money, job and vehicle edits can be put back in one press from the player’s profile.
What your staff can do
Run a vMenu server from one panel
Everything below works from the web panel, from Discord and, for staff who are playing, in game. Each power is its own permission, so you choose who gets which.
Bring your vMenu bans
Upload vMenu’s bans.json under Global bans and every ban comes across with its reason and end date, so nobody you have removed gets back in.
- Edit inventories
- Edit money
- Edit vehicles
- Edit jobs
Players and records
Everyone who has ever joined, and everything staff did about it.
Player log and alerts
What every player actually did, searchable, with alerts you write.
Live view and calls
Watch a player's game as it happens, and talk to them.
Reports
A player types /report in game and your team picks it up in seconds.
Bans and appeals
Bans that survive a new account, and appeals you can actually read.
Staff tools in game
Ban, warn and message from the game, with trust scores over every head.
Discord
Logs, slash commands and staff roles, in the Discord you already run.
In the panel
The screens your staff will use
Real screens from the panel, taken on our demo server. None of these needs a framework, so a vMenu server has every one of them.
Player log
What the player log picks up on vMenu
There is no framework to listen to, and the log still has plenty to say.
On every server
- Joins and leaves
- Deaths and kills, from the game itself: how, by whom and with what
- txAdmin’s scheduled restarts and shutdowns, and resources stopped or started by hand
- Every line your scripts already send to qb-log, kept word for word
- Your own events, with one line of Lua: exports.fivestaff:logEvent
-- one line, and it is searchable by item and amount
exports.fivestaff:logEvent(source, 'drugs.weed.sold', {
item = 'weed_brick', amount = 5, price = 2500
})The log is off until you switch it on, and a category you leave off costs your server nothing. The player log and alerts
The small print
Where vMenu is different
The details a tool gets wrong when it treats every framework as the same one, and what FiveStaff does instead.
Everything else is unaffected
Player records, in-game reports, warnings, kicks, bans and appeals, live view, calls, the player log and the Discord bot do not touch framework data and work the same on a vMenu server as on a QBCore one.
Bring your bans with you
Open Global bans, press Import bans, choose vMenu and upload its bans.json. Each ban keeps its reason and its end date, so the people you have already thrown out stay out. vMenu does not record when a ban was placed, so those are dated the day you import them.
Install
Put it on your vMenu server
One resource, a few lines in server.cfg, and no changes to your framework or your scripts.
-
1
Add your server
Sign in to the panel with Discord, press Add server, give it a name and choose a plan.
-
2
Download the resource
On your server’s dashboard, press Download the resource. The fivestaff folder inside already holds your server key, so there is nothing to fill in.
-
3
Add it to server.cfg
Upload the folder to your resources, keeping its name exactly fivestaff, and add the lines opposite anywhere in the file.
-
4
Restart and check
Restart, or type ensure fivestaff in the server console. Within seconds the dashboard says Online. With no framework running, FiveStaff starts in standalone mode, where everything but the character, money and inventory screens works.

Built for the people who keep a vMenu server fair
A record of every player, a log of every action, and powers handed out one at a time.
One record for every player
Whichever character somebody is on, their warnings, bans, reports and notes sit on one profile, and a ban checks every identifier they connect with — so a new account is not a fresh start on your vMenu server.
Nobody needs in-game admin
Your team is a list in the panel. Staff act from the panel, from Discord or in game with /staff, and you hand out no ace permissions to make that work.
Each power is its own permission
Warning, kicking, banning, watching and reading the log are separate permissions, so a trial moderator gets what they need and no more.
Bans hold when we cannot be reached
Your game server keeps its own copy of your ban list and checks it on every connect, so a ban still applies if it cannot reach FiveStaff.
Questions people ask first
Can FiveStaff and vMenu run on the same server?
Yes. FiveStaff runs alongside vMenu and switches nothing in it off. It notices vMenu at start and the panel says it is there, because both can kick and ban players.
How do I bring my vMenu bans across?
Open Global bans, press Import bans, choose vMenu and upload its bans.json. Each ban keeps its reason and end date; vMenu does not record when a ban was placed, so those are dated the day you import them.
Will staff see money or inventories?
No. vMenu keeps no characters, money, items, jobs or owned vehicles, so there is nothing to read, and the panel says so rather than showing empty screens as though they were somebody’s.
Do I need to set anything up for vMenu?
No. Install the resource as on any server. Your staff get records, reports, bans and appeals, the trust score, the player log, Discord, and on Pro, live view and calls.
Running something else?
Each framework has a page of its own, in its own words.
Point it at your vMenu server
