FAQ
Nothing to place — the item does nothing
Check that the merge actually landed. hz_cook/data/stations/ must hold bbq.lua, bbq1.lua, bbq4.lua and campfire.lua.
If that folder is empty and your server.cfg has no ensure hz_cook_bbq line either, nothing registered the stations: the three folders were copied next to the resource instead of into it. See Installation.
The console says the pack is started as a resource
It is meant to be merged, not started. Drop its data, locales and stream folders into hz_cook and remove the ensure line for the pack.
Left as a resource on top of the copy, every prop streams twice.
If you never copied the folders, that line is the fallback doing its job: the pack runs, it is simply not the intended install.
The console says the fxmanifest was replaced
The whole pack folder was copied into hz_cook, manifest included.
Delete hz_cook/fxmanifest.lua, put back the one from your HZ-Cook download, and copy only the three content folders — data, locales and stream.
The barbecues are gone after an update
Reinstalling HZ-Cook over itself replaces the folder and takes the merged pack with it.
Merge the pack again after any update of the framework.The items exist but have no image
The images go in your inventory's own image folder, not in the resource. Copy [items]/img/*.png there.
I cannot target the bins or the sauce bottles
The props are placed without collision so players do not walk into a ketchup bottle.
On qb-target, raise Config.TargetZone.qbMinZone and qbZDrop.
The barbecue will not light
For the kettle, fill it with charcoal first — below 5% there is not enough left to light.
For the others, check Config.RequireLighter and that the player is carrying a lighter.
Can I run the pack without an economy?
Yes — that is the default. Config.RequireItems = false means the bins offer every ingredient without stock and nothing is consumed.
Does it work on my framework?
QBox, QBCore, ESX and Standalone are supported and auto-detected, along with ox_inventory, qb-inventory, qs-inventory and four target systems. hz_cook/shared/config.lua forces any of them if detection picks the wrong one.
