You can do this **right after installing the server**, **after applying an update**, or **whenever you want to switch prefixes**. The script is fully reversible (you can always go back to `meteo-`). *** {% hint style="danger" %} **Only supported on Meteo Server V2.3.0 and above.** Make sure to update your server to V2.3.0 (or newer) before using the renamer. Older versions are not supported and we cannot provide support for them. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} **Read before you continue:** * This feature is still **experimental**. * You should have at least **intermediate coding skills**. * Be careful when applying updates - new scripts always ship under the original `meteo-` names, so you will need to run the renamer again after each update. * **Do NOT run this on your live/main server while players are online.** Use a backup or a test server first. {% endhint %} *** ## What You Need * Your server-data folder (the one that contains `server.cfg`) * The renamer tool: `tools/meteo-rename.bat` that ships in your release * About 30 seconds *** ## Video guide {% embed url="" %} ## Steps ### 1. Open the tools folder in meteo server folder Inside the meteo server folder, open the `tools/` folder and find: ``` tools/ └── meteo-rename.bat ``` ### 2. Double-click `meteo-rename.bat` A console window opens. You will see: ``` Meteo Server V2 - Rename Server-data folder path: ``` ### 3. Paste your server-data folder path This MUST be the folder that contains `server.cfg`. Examples of correct paths: ``` C:\fivem\server-data D:\FiveM\Servers\my-server\server-data ``` You can paste it with or without quotes - both work. Press **Enter**. The script verifies that `server.cfg` and `resources/` exist in that folder. If they do not, it shows an error and asks again. {% hint style="info" %} If you point it at the wrong folder (no `server.cfg`), it will NOT proceed. So you cannot accidentally rename something else. {% endhint %} ### 4. Choose option `1` to apply a custom prefix ``` 1) Apply custom prefix 2) Restore to meteo- 3) Cancel Choose [1/2/3]: 1 ``` Type `1` and press **Enter**. ### 5. Type your new prefix ``` New prefix (1-8 letters/digits only): ``` Examples of valid prefixes: | You type | Folders become | | ---------- | ------------------------- | | `myserver` | `myserver-inventory`, ... | | `lscity` | `lscity-inventory`, ... | | `rp` | `rp-inventory`, ... | **Rules:** * 1 to 8 characters * Letters and digits only (no spaces, no symbols, no underscore, no hyphen) * The trailing `-` is added for you automatically Press **Enter**. ### 6. Confirm The script shows what it is about to do: ``` ---------------------------------------------------- Path: C:\fivem\server-data Current: meteo- New: myserver- ---------------------------------------------------- Continue? [y/N]: ``` Type `y` and press **Enter**. ### 7. Wait for it to finish You will see output like: ``` Renaming folders... meteo-inventory -> myserver-inventory meteo-phone -> myserver-phone meteo-chatv2 -> myserver-chatv2 ... (and so on for every meteo- script) Renamed: 70 folder(s) Updating rename.lua files... Updated: 65 file(s) Updating server.cfg... Backup: C:\fivem\server-data\server.cfg.backup Done! ``` Press any key to close. *** ## Verifying It Worked ### Check the folder names Open `server-data\resources\` and confirm folders no longer start with `meteo-`. They should now start with your prefix (`myserver-`, etc). ### Check server.cfg Open `server-data\server.cfg` and look for the `ensure` lines. They should now read: ``` ensure myserver-core ensure myserver-chatv2 ensure myserver-inventory ... ``` (Originally these said `ensure meteo-core`, `ensure meteo-inventory`, etc.) A backup is automatically saved as `server.cfg.backup` in the same folder. ### Start your server Start FiveM as usual. All Meteo scripts should load under their new names. The FiveM resource list will show your prefix. *** ## Common Questions ### Will this break my server? No. Everything is updated together: folder names, internal cross-references inside each script (`shared/rename.lua`), and the `ensure` lines in `server.cfg`. The scripts find each other through a single config value, so they all stay connected. ### What about `msv2-versioncheck`? That one keeps its name on purpose. It does NOT have the `meteo-` prefix and the script intentionally skips it. Do not rename it manually. ### What about `ox_lib`, `ox_doorlocks`, etc? Those are NOT touched. The renamer only changes folders that start with `meteo-` (or whatever your current prefix is). Third-party scripts keep their original names. ### Can I run it again after installing an update? Yes. When we ship updates, new scripts come in with the `meteo-` prefix. Just run the tool again with the **same prefix you used last time** - it will detect any leftover `meteo-` scripts and convert them. ``` meteo-rename.bat -> Choose 1 -> Type your prefix -> Continue ``` ### Can I switch to a different prefix later? Yes. Just run the tool and enter a different prefix. It will rename everything from your current prefix to the new one. ### How do I go back to `meteo-`? Run the tool, choose option `2) Restore to meteo-`, confirm. Done. ### What if something goes wrong? The tool always backs up `server.cfg` before editing it. The backup file is right next to it: `server.cfg.backup`. You can delete the broken one and rename the backup back to `server.cfg`. For folders, just run the tool again with your previous prefix (or `--restore`) and it will revert them. ### Why does Windows show a warning when I open the .bat? If you got the file from a download (Discord, Drive, browser), Windows may show "Windows protected your PC". Click **More info** -> **Run anyway**. The script only renames folders and edits text files in the path you give it. It does not touch anything else and does not connect to the internet. *** ## Advanced (CLI mode) If you prefer the command line: ``` meteo-rename.bat "C:\fivem\server-data" myserver meteo-rename.bat "C:\fivem\server-data" --restore ``` Same behavior, no prompts. *** {% hint style="success" %} **Need help?** Open a ticket on our official Discord at [discord.meteofivem.net](https://discord.meteofivem.net).
