# FAM Tools

> Six tools for FiveM servers in one place: custom minimaps, weapon skins on 538 models, 51 weapon wheels, hosted loading screens, Vinewood signs and animated graphics packs — one account, one cart, one download list.

Everything your FiveM server looks like, built in one place. Custom minimaps in twelve palettes and three base map styles with a live browser editor, weapon skins on 538 FiveM-compatible models, 51 weapon wheel designs that replace the native HUD wheel, hosted drag-and-drop loading screens, 3D Vinewood signs and animated graphics packs. Everything is FiveM-compatible, test it before you pay, and it all lands in one account.

## Trademarks and what the price covers

We are an independent studio making FiveM-compatible minimaps and weapon wheels. We are not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored or approved by Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., Rockstar Games, Cfx.re or the FiveM project; "FiveM-compatible" and "for FiveM" only mean that the products work with FiveM. Grand Theft Auto, GTA V, Rockstar Games, FiveM, Cfx.re, every place name such as Los Santos, Blaine County, San Andreas and Cayo Perico, the game map and its geography, and all other game content are trademarks and/or copyrighted works of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries, and they remain their property. We do not sell or license any of it, and no part of any price here is charged for GTA V, FiveM or their names, map data or assets; you need your own copy of GTA V and the free FiveM client. The price covers only our own work: the twelve colour palettes and their design, our rendering and styling pipeline (shading, colour grading, typography, label and road styling), the browser overlay studio and whatever you add with it, and packaging as a ready-to-install resource with installation support and updates; for weapon wheels, our wheel artwork and designs, the wheel studio, packaging and support.

- Framework independent: QBCore, ESX, QBox, vRP and standalone all work unchanged
- Rendered at 2x supersampling from a 12288 x 18432 master, delivered at 6144 x 9216

## Cayo Perico add-on

GTA 5 draws Cayo Perico from its own Scaleform file (int3232302352.gfx), not from the six
Los Santos texture dictionaries, so replacing the mainland minimap leaves the island on the
stock Rockstar art. Every one of the 36 minimaps has a matching island map for $1.00, rendered
by the same engine from the same palette and delivered as a second drop-in resource named
pityus_minimap_cayo_<palette>. It is optional, it changes nothing about the main map, and it
can be designed in the studio on its own canvas.

## Custom Vinewood signs

Create your own Vinewood banner: your server name, your slogan or your logo standing on the
Vinewood hillside where the stock letters are. The same page is a Vinewood sign creator, a
banner editor, a sign maker and a 3D logo studio — it is all one browser tool, and it is free
to use until you export.

- Price: $20.00 for a sign, unlimited re-downloads forever
- Editing a built sign and rebuilding it later: $10.00
- Instant delivery: no queue and no designer to wait for. You design it yourself, pay, and the
  resource is built in about a minute and downloads from your dashboard.
- Delivered as a drop-in FiveM map resource: ydr drawables, a ytd, a ycd clip dictionary, a
  ytyp, a ymap and a manifest. There is no script in it at all.
- The animation is baked into the map (a colour strip texture scrolled by a clip dictionary),
  so it costs no frame time, survives restarts and stays in sync for every player.
- Two lines of text in 84 typefaces, or a PNG logo traced and extruded into real 3D geometry
- Or a composed board: several lines of text and several pictures on one sign, each one dragged,
  rotated and aligned where you want it, all baked into the same animation
  with the transparent areas genuinely open.
- Framework independent: ESX, QBCore, Qbox, vRP and standalone.

### Common questions about custom Vinewood signs

- Can I put a logo and text on the same sign?
  Yes. The composed board holds as many pieces as you like — lines of text in different typefaces and sizes, and any number of pictures — and you drag each one where you want it, resize it by its corners and rotate it. They all end up in the same baked animation.
- How many typefaces are there?
  82, grouped into 12 styles: signature faces like Pricedown, plus poster, condensed, retro, western, techno, script, stencil, horror, street, arcade and serif. The stock Vinewood letter models sit alongside them, and you can upload a font of your own.
- Will the letters look rough close up?
  No. They are cut from the typeface's own outlines rather than traced from a rendering of them, so the curves stay smooth however near you stand and however large the sign is built.
- How fast is delivery?
  Instant in practice. There is no queue and nobody to wait for: you design the sign yourself, pay, and the server builds the resource in about a minute. The download appears in your dashboard by itself and the link is in your order email.
- Do I have to wait for a designer?
  No. This is self-serve from start to finish — you make it exactly how you want it in the browser, buy it, and download it. No brief, no waiting list, no revision rounds.
- Does it need a script?
  No. The sign is a pure map resource: models, textures, a type definition, the placement and an animation clip. There is no client or server script in the package, and nothing runs every frame.
- Will it replace the original Vinewood sign?
  Yes. The package ships a small cleararea map that removes the stock VINEWOOD letters, so yours stands alone on the ridge. You can turn that off before you buy if you would rather keep both.
- Does it work on ESX, QBCore and standalone?
  It works on all of them, because it is not a script. Any FiveM server that streams assets can use it, whatever framework is running on top.
- How long does the build take?
  Under a minute in most cases. The download turns on by itself in your dashboard the moment the archive is ready, and you will have it in your order email too.
- Can I change the sign later?
  Yes. Your design stays in your account and a later edit is $10 — half price — which unlocks it, lets you change anything and builds a fresh resource. Downloads of what you already bought are unlimited and free forever.
- Can I use my own font?
  Yes. 82 typefaces are built in, and you can upload a TTF or OTF of your own. The studio cuts the glyphs into 3D geometry in the browser, so you see exactly what gets built.
- Can I move the sign somewhere else on the map?
  The position is locked to the original Vinewood spot so the sign always sits correctly on the ridge, at the right scale and angle. If you need it somewhere else, open a ticket and we will quote a custom placement.
- What exactly do I get?
  A folder you drop into resources: the letter and frame models, the texture dictionary, the type definition, the map placement, the animation clip, the manifest, a readme with the install steps, and a preview image of your own sign.
- Is my sign going to show up on your site?
  It can, and the terms you agree to at checkout cover it: a finished paid sign carrying your own branding goes into the public gallery by itself. What goes up is one picture and a short caption — never the resource, never a download, never your email or your server address. Turning it off is one switch on the sign in your dashboard, it is yours alone to set, and it takes the picture down and keeps it down.
- Does it affect performance?
  Barely. It is a handful of small drawables with baked animation; there is no NUI, no script loop and no per-frame work. The draw distance you choose is the only real lever, and twelve kilometres of visibility costs less than one extra prop in the city.
