Commands

Raven is driven by a single command, rac. Run it from the server console for full access, or in game if your identifier has the rac.admin ACE.

Where you run commands

There are two places a command can come from, and they do not have the same access.

• Server console. The txAdmin live console, the raw server window, or an RCON session. The console can run every command, including the ones that modify resource files.
• In game. A player whose identifier holds the rac.admin ACE can run the read-only commands (help, status, dashboard, resource). The install, uninstall, and update commands are console only and do nothing when typed in game.

Status and info

Read-only commands. Available from the console and to in-game admins.

rac help

Prints the full command list with a one-line description of each command.

rac status

Shows the installed build version and how many resources are protected. The version line is marked (Outdated) when a newer build is available, and the count reads Installed: 12/40 for twelve protected resources out of forty total.

rac dashboard

Reports the live link between the server and the dashboard. Connected with the seconds since the last contact means everything is healthy. Connection lost shows when the last contact was over two minutes ago, and Waiting for connection or Not initialized show while the link is still coming up.

rac resource [resourceName]

Checks one resource and tells you whether Raven is installed in it. Pass the exact resource name, for example rac resource esx_ambulancejob.

Install and update

rac install [resourceName]

Installs protection into a single resource, or into every resource when you leave the name off. Each resource reports back as installed or failed, and you get a final tally of how many succeeded.

rac uninstall [resourceName]

Removes protection from a single resource, or from every resource when you leave the name off. Use this before sharing or editing a resource so it goes back to its original files.

rac update

Re-applies the current build across every resource and reports what changed, what was already current, and what failed. Updated resources still need a restart before the new protection is active. Raven reminds you when any were touched.

rac update --force

Does the same re-apply, then restarts each updated resource and the anticheat itself so the changes take effect right away without a manual restart. A full server restart is still the cleanest way to refresh everything at once.

Granting in-game access

In-game commands are gated behind the rac.admin ACE. Grant it to an admin group or to a single identifier in your server.cfg, then restart the server.

add_ace group.admin rac.admin allow
add_ace identifier.fivem:1234567 rac.admin allow

System command permission

Install, uninstall, and update read and write resource files, which needs permission to run system commands. If that permission is missing, Raven stops and prints the two lines to add. Put them in your server.cfg (swap raven for your resource folder name) and restart the server.

add_ace resource.raven command allow
add_unsafe_child_process_permission "raven"
