AREA 69 — FiveM Compatible

After coming across this map several times and looking into converting it for FiveM, I finally completed the conversion yesterday for my own server. I’m sharing it here so other FiveM communities can use it for military or mercenary roleplay.

All location coordinates are included.

About the map

AREA 69 offers a large military facility built primarily from vanilla props converted into add-on assets, alongside reworked interiors. It is reasonably well optimized and, in my opinion, one of the best free, open-source options available for military and mercenary roleplay.

Known issue

The shooting range has a minor visibility issue affecting the counter only. Some props are assigned to an invalid room and need to be reassigned, which causes the counter to appear intermittently.

The shooting range itself works correctly. I have left this issue untouched for now to avoid introducing problems into an otherwise working map.

Installation notes

• Add the main map resource to your server’s resources folder.

• If some interior entities are missing, place area69_entitysets in your maps folder as a separate resource, alongside the main map rather than inside it. This resource provides the entity-set loading manifest.

• Add an explicit ensure area-69 entry to your server.cfg. The map conflicts with certain vanilla elements, so its position in the loading order matters.

• If your server uses Qbox, check its loading order relative to qbx_density to prevent parked NPC vehicles from reappearing in the affected area of Fort Zancudo.

Compatibility and requirements

Tested game build: 3258.
Recommended game build: 3407.

Enjoy the map, and I hope it proves as useful for your server as it has for mine!
