Troubleshooting
Short checklists for the issues that come up most often during community hosting.
A config value does not seem to work
- Confirm you edited the Data copy, not the repository default.
- Save through
/configor run the relevant reload command. - Run
litherarp.config_status. - Check for validation warnings in the server console.
- Confirm whether the system requires a restart or map reload.
- Confirm the gameplay code consumes that value live.
A list shows numeric indices in /config
Use a managed collection editor when available. Numeric indices are normal for raw arrays, but creator-facing list workflows should use structured editors for jobs, rewards, phone GPS, RP names, arrests, NPCs, vehicles, emergency services, and shop.
A localization key shows on screen
The active language is missing the key and the fallback did not resolve it.
- Run
litherarp.lang_status. - Search the English pack for the key.
- Add the same key to the custom language file.
- Reload language.
Theme reset returns the wrong theme
Theme reset should return to activeTheme: "default". If a server still returns to another theme, inspect configs/theme.json in Data and run litherarp.theme_reset.
