THE ORB
Starting the studio

Resource <name> is not started

Something asked for a script that is not running. If you have never heard of the name, it is optional and you can ignore it.

groupsUsually nothingpersonYou can fix this

Do this first

Did you install the script it names on purpose? If not, this line is harmless.

What it means

Something referenced a resource the server is not running. Depending on what referenced it, this is either fatal (a real dependency) or cosmetic (an optional integration probing for it).

What causes it

Ordered by how often it is the answer.

  1. 1

    Missing from server.cfg

    Installed but never ensured.

  2. 2

    It failed to start earlier

    Look for its own error further up. A resource that errored during load counts as not started.

  3. 3

    A typo in the name

    ensure qb-core against a folder called qb_core.

  4. 4

    It is an optional integration

    Many scripts probe for resources they can integrate with. If the message names something you never installed, it is noise.

How to tell which one is yours

Is the named resource one you installed on purpose? If yes it is a real problem. If you have never heard of it, a script is checking for an optional integration and you can ignore the line.

Where to look

server.cfg first, then the console above for that resource's own startup lines.

How to fix it

ensure <name>

A well-written optional integration already guards itself:

if GetResourceState('some-optional') == 'started' then
    -- integrate
end

Still stuck on your own code?

This page is what this error usually means. Paste your console into Server Fixer and it will rank everything in it and tell you what to do first, and if you would rather not touch it, ORBIE can repair the script and hand the resource back ready to drop in.
