Resources and entities

Start, stop, restart and refresh server resources, and clear peds, vehicles and objects from the world.

Two tools that reach into the running game server rather than into Raven. Both need resource 1.5.7 or newer, and both are hidden from the sidebar on anything older, because the resource has no handler to answer them.

Resources

A list of every resource on the game server with its current state. Search by name, and filter to All, Started or Stopped. The count above the list tells you how many of the total are showing.

  • Start appears on a stopped resource, Stop on a started one, and Restart is a stop followed by a start.
  • Refresh in the header runs the game server refresh command so newly added resources are picked up, then reloads the list. The plain reload button next to it only re-reads the list without touching the server.

Starting needs the resources start permission, stopping needs resources stop, and restarting needs both. Refresh has its own permission. With view only you can read the list and press nothing.

The list lives on the game server, so it is empty while the server is disconnected and the page says so rather than showing an error. It picks the list back up on its own once Raven reconnects.

Entities

Four buttons: Clear Peds, Clear Vehicles, Clear Objects and Clear All. The server home carries the same four as an Entity Cleanup panel, named Delete Peds, Delete Vehicles, Delete Objects and Delete All, so you do not have to leave the overview for a quick cleanup.

Each one deletes every entity of that type in the world, right now. There is no selection and no area, so clearing vehicles removes the vehicles players are driving and the ones they parked, not only whatever a spawner flooded the map with. On this page each button asks for confirmation first and says what it is about to do, and the result reports how many of each type were removed. The panel on the server home has neither: it sends the command the moment you click and only confirms that it was sent.

Each entity type has its own permission, and a request covering several types is checked against all of them, so an admin granted only Objects cannot use Clear All.
