I am looking for an experienced FiveM Lua developer to help build and launch a brand-new zombie survival roleplay server from the ground up. We already bought a base to install. The goal is to create a polished, immersive, and performance-optimized FiveM server with strong survival mechanics, custom systems, clean UI, and long-term scalability. This is not a basic plug-and-play server. I am looking for someone who can configure, improve, rebuild, and connect systems properly so the final result feels professional and ready for public release. Project Overview The server will be built around a zombie apocalypse survival roleplay theme, with a strong focus on immersion, economy, progression, looting, crafting, factions, base building, and hostile environments. The developer will be responsible for taking the project from the current bought base pack / blank VPS setup to a fully playable and stable server. Scope of Work The work will include: Initial Setup & Server Foundation Install and configure the bought base pack. Optimize the baseline server files. Set up database structure and backups. Clean up scripts, resources, and configs. Ensure all resources load correctly through txAdmin or your preferred workflow. Fix console errors, broken dependencies, and existing script issues. Organize all files and configs professionally. Core Systems to Implement, Improve, or Rebuild I want to implement or improve the following systems: Radio and mobile phone system. Base building system. Drug system. Looting system. XP, reputation, and crafting progression. Grinding jobs and survival-based activities. Black market and outpost system. Weapon blueprint system, including weapon parts crafting and looting. Persistent car garage system. Injury and medical system, including: Diseases Infections Radiation Zombie bite effects Zombie AI and zombie gameplay improvements. Zombie animations, attacks, bite mechanics, and immersive gameplay. Proper zombie configuration and balancing. Inventory item tier system: Common - Uncommon - Rare - Epic - Legendary - Mythic - Exotic Custom interaction logic, including radial menu, target system, E-interactions, and NoPixel-style text UI / DrawText where appropriate. Help decide whether scripts should be linked through ox_lib. Map, World & Gameplay Setup Custom script development The server world should support the zombie survival theme and feel immersive. Tasks include: Add and configure Cayo Perico / Drug Island. Make selected islands zombie-free but populated with hostile AI NPCs. Add hostile zones, safe zones, outposts, black market locations, and loot areas. Import and fine-tune custom maps, MLOs, vehicles, and other assets. Ensure correct streaming, collisions, and optimized performance. Create consistent gameplay logic that supports the apocalypse theme. UI, HUD & Immersion The project needs a clean and lightweight UI that fits the survival RP style. This may include: Server-branded HUD/UI. Custom menus where needed. Inventory, crafting, looting, and interaction UI adjustments. Optimized client-side UI with low FPS impact. Clean layout for progression, reputation, jobs, and survival systems. Performance & Quality Performance and stability are very important. The developer should: Optimize server performance. Optimize client FPS where possible. Profile resources using FiveM tools. Reduce unnecessary loops, heavy scripts, and resource usage. Keep server tick time and client performance within good limits. Ensure the server can support a public player base. Fix existing script issues and bugs. Deliver a clean, stable, and organized setup.

Hi there, which bought base pack are you using, and is it already QBcore with ox_lib, ox_inventory, and target support, or does it need migration and cleanup first? Also, which systems are phase 1 must-have for public launch: zombie AI, looting/crafting, base building, medical effects, or economy progression? This project is a strong fit. The best way is to stabilize the base first, fix resource errors, clean configs and database flow, then build the zombie survival systems in phases so performance stays strong. Worked on similar FiveM/QBcore server builds where many scripts existed but needed proper linking, balancing, UI cleanup, and optimization before public release. Those projects improved by reducing heavy loops, fixing dependencies, organizing resources, tuning gameplay systems, and keeping the server scalable for real players. Strong with Lua scripting, QBcore-style systems, database logic, UI integration, and performance-focused server setup. Ready to start immediately. Best, Ivan

Hi, This is exactly the type of FiveM project I can help with: taking a purchased base and turning it into a polished, stable, public-ready zombie survival RP server. I have experience with FiveM Lua, txAdmin, resource cleanup, database setup, ox_lib, inventory systems, target/radial interactions, custom UI, economy logic, survival mechanics, and performance optimization. I understand this is not a simple install job—the goal is to connect, rebuild, and tune systems so the server feels professional and scalable. My approach would start with a full audit of the bought base pack: fixing console errors, dependencies, database structure, configs, and resource loading. From there, I’d build the core gameplay loop around looting, crafting, XP/reputation, factions, black market/outposts, vehicle persistence, medical effects, zombie behavior, and item rarity tiers. I’d also configure hostile zones, safe zones, Cayo/Drug Island, MLOs, vehicles, loot areas, and NPC/zombie balancing. For UI and immersion, I’d keep everything lightweight and survival-themed, using clean HUD/menu updates without hurting FPS. Performance would be a major focus throughout: profiling resources, reducing heavy loops, optimizing client/server usage, and keeping the setup stable for a public player base. I can work in milestones: foundation cleanup, core survival systems, world/zombie setup, UI polish, testing/optimization, and launch handoff.

Hi Client, I am Cindy Viorina and I build polished FiveM QBcore servers focused on immersive survival gameplay. I read your brief and understand you want a professional zombie survival RP server built from a purchased base pack into a stable, public-ready product with improved systems like base building, looting, crafting, factions, injury mechanics, zombie AI, and optimized performance. I will install and harden the base pack, clean and organize resources, set up database schemas and backups, fix console errors and broken deps, then implement and refine core systems (radio/phone, base build, drugs, tiered loot, XP/progression, weapon blueprints, persistent garages, medical effects, zombie AI/animations, interactions and UI) with careful performance profiling and txAdmin deployment. Technically I use modular resource structure, ox_lib where appropriate, MySQL/MariaDB with automated backups, client/server optimization, and profiling to reduce ticks and heavy loops. I will stage features on a dev VPS, test zombie balance and streaming, then deploy live with monitoring. I am available to communicate in real time in your timezone and can deliver a simple demo or portion within 12 hours of start. Q1: Do you want ox_lib as the central dependency or prefer lightweight native integrations? (Proposal) Q2: Which purchased base pack did you buy and can you share the current resource list and console logs? (Proposal) Q3: What player capacity and performance targets should I optim
