To set up vMenu v3.5.0 properly on your FiveM server, you need to ensure the files are placed correctly and the configuration is executed in the right order within your server.cfg. vMenu is a server-side trainer that relies heavily on a separate permissions file to function. Proper Installation Steps
Resource Folder: Create a folder named vMenu (case-sensitive) in your server's resources directory and extract the zip contents there.
Permissions Setup: Move the permissions.cfg file from the vMenu/config folder to your main server directory (where your server.cfg is located).
Configure server.cfg: Add the following lines to your server.cfg. Crucially, you must execute the permissions before starting the resource: exec permissions.cfg ensure vMenu Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Key Configuration Tips
Admin Access: Open permissions.cfg and add your identifier (e.g., add_principal identifier.license:yourlicense group.admin) to grant yourself permission to use the menu.
Case Sensitivity: Ensure the folder name matches exactly what you call in the ensure line. Many issues arise from naming the folder vMenu-v3.5.0 instead of just vMenu.
Command Toggle: You can configure vMenu to open via a command instead of just a keybind if requested by your community.
Performance Optimization: Significant reductions in resource usage, particularly for servers with high player counts, lowering latency from approximately 0.4ms to 0.1ms.
OneSync Compatibility: Improved handling of "Infinity" features, such as player spectating and distant player markers.
UI Enhancements: Refined menu layouts, updated vehicle modification colors for better visibility, and fixed notification display issues. Language Support and Localization
While the official release is in English, community-driven "text" versions exist for different localizations. For example, a simplified Chinese version is available on GitHub, which includes translated strings for:
Vehicle Options: Custom names for cars and modification categories.
Permissions: Text for the permissions.cfg file used to manage admin access. To set up vMenu v3
Storage Interface: Standardized JSON data import/export text for saving server configurations.
If you are looking for the raw source code or the latest release text to install on your server, you can find the official files on the vMenu GitHub repository.

Under the Hood: Technical Architecture
To appreciate the stability of vmenu 3.5.0, one must understand its architecture. Unlike monolithic configuration tools, vmenu follows a modular plugin design:
Core Engine (vmenu.efi): The main binary (approx. 280KB) that handles rendering, input processing, and event loops.
Backend Abstraction Layer (BAL): Interprets hardware differences (BIOS vs. UEFI, x86 vs. ARM).
Plugin Modules: Located in /efi/tools/vmenu/plugins/. Version 3.5.0 introduces 8 new standard plugins, including nvme_util.so, secure_boot_tool.so, and network_boot.so.
The result is a tool that consumes less than 4MB of RAM at peak usage, making it ideal for embedded systems and diagnostic thumb drives.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting
Despite rigorous testing, users may encounter quirks. Here are solutions to the top three reported issues in vmenu 3.5.0.
Issue 1: "Error: Could not allocate pages" on some HP systems.
Cause: HP firmware reserves large memory pools below 4GB.
Fix: Launch vmenu via load -nc vmenu.efi (non-conventional memory allocation).
Issue 2: International fonts appear as squares.
Cause: Missing font file.
Fix: Ensure vmenu_font.psf (included in the package) is located in the same directory as the main EFI binary.
Issue 3: Dynamic menu injection not working.
Cause: Incorrect file path.
Fix: Verify that .vmenu fragment files are in \EFI\vmenu\dynamic\ and have read attribute set. Run attrib +r if necessary.
