vRP for FiveM
The oldest of the roleplay frameworks still in circulation, built around a permission and group model rather than a job string.
vRP predates both ESX and QBCore and is still run by a handful of long-lived servers, particularly in Brazil and Eastern Europe. Its group and permission model is genuinely different from the job model everything else uses, which is both its appeal and the reason almost no modern script supports it.

Why servers run it
- A real permission system rather than one job name per player.
- Very long-lived servers have a decade of custom content written against it.
Installing vRP
1. Expect to do it by hand
There is no recipe. The repository README is the install guide.
2. Budget for porting
Modern scripts will not run on it without work.
What goes wrong
Almost nothing released after 2020 supports it. Choosing vRP for a new server means writing most of your content yourself.
vRP — questions people ask
Should I start a new server on vRP?
Runs alongside
The original FiveM roleplay framework, still running a very large share of live servers — jobs, money, society accounts and a huge script catalogue.
The roleplay framework most new FiveM servers are built on, with the largest modern script ecosystem and a one-click txAdmin recipe.
