Step 2: Extract the Files

Once you’ve downloaded the zip file, you need to extract its contents before you can use them:

1. Right-click on the zip file and select "Extract All" or use an unzip tool like WinRAR.
2. Choose a destination folder (or leave it as the default) and click "Extract."
3. You should see several files and folders, including the fxmanifest.lua, which is crucial for your server.

Step 3: Upload to Your Server

Now that you have the files extracted, it’s time to upload them to your server:

1. Open your FTP client (like FileZilla or WinSCP).
2. Connect to your FiveM server using the FTP credentials.
3. Navigate to the resources folder within your server directory.
4. Create a new folder named illenium-appearance (or a similar name).
5. Upload all the extracted files from the Illenium-Appearance folder to this new folder.

Step 4: Edit the server.cfg

Next, you need to inform your server about the new asset by editing the server.cfg file:

2. Find the server.cfg file and download it for editing.
3. Open the server.cfg file using a text editor (e.g., Notepad++).

5. Save the file and upload it back to the server, replacing the old one.
