Troubleshooting

Fix common JG Mechanic errors and startup problems

Failed to load audiobank

You may see this error while jg-mechanic is starting:

failed to load audiobank 'audiodirectory/jg_mechanic'

The JG Mechanic sound bank didn't finish loading before FiveM timed out. Disable the script's sounds so it can start without the sound bank.

  1. Open config/config.lua.

  2. Set Config.DisableSound to true:

    config/config.lua
    Config.DisableSound = true
  3. Fully restart your server.

SQL error while starting JG Mechanic

You may see an error containing:

[SQL ERROR]

JG Mechanic tries to make the required database changes automatically. In rare cases this fails, and you need to make the changes manually.

  1. Open jg-mechanic/install/database.
  2. Run run.sql in your database software, such as phpMyAdmin or HeidiSQL.

If the error says cannot use the syntax IF NOT EXISTS, remove every instance of IF NOT EXISTS from run.sql, then run the file again.

Make sure you're running run.sql in your server's database. Check the database name before running it.
