Installation

Install Sonoran's pocket bandanas with real movement — built to flow naturally with every step.

This guide covers downloading, installing, and locating the Sonoran Bandanas EUP accessory pack.

The resource must be named sonoran-bandanas and the resource must be started with ensure sonoran-bandanas.

This EUP asset is escrow protected by Tebex. Learn more about what this means.

Download the Resource

1. Sign in to the Cfx.re Portal.
2. Open the purchased assets or packages area for the account that owns the Bandanas pack.
3. Download the Bandanas .zip file to your computer.

CFX Portal - Download

Windows - Downloaded ZIP File

Install the Resource

1. Extract or unzip the downloaded file.

   

   Windows - Extract Zip File

   

   Windows - Choose Extract Location
2. Open the extracted package and locate the resource folder. The folder should be named exactly:

   sonoran-bandanas

   
3. Copy the complete sonoran-bandanas folder into your server's resources directory. A typical layout is:

   server-data/
   └── resources/
       └── sonoran-bandanas/

   Do not put the folder inside an additional nested folder. The resource manifest should be directly inside resources/sonoran-bandanas/.

4. Open your server.cfg and add the following line:

   ensure sonoran-bandanas

   Place it with the other resources that are started when the server boots.

   
5. Save server.cfg and fully restart the FiveM server.

   
6. Check the server console during startup. You should not see a missing resource, manifest, or file error for sonoran-bandanas.

   

Locate the Bandanas In-Game

The Bandanas pack is available as an EUP accessory through vMenu.

1. Join the server with a character that can access vMenu's clothing options.
2. Open vMenu.
3. Go to the EUP / Player Appearance clothing menu.
4. Open the Neck and Scarves category.
5. Scroll to the end of the category. The Bandanas are located in slots 200–208 on vMenu.
6. Select a slot to preview and equip the bandana. Use the texture/variation controls to cycle through the available designs.

The exact appearance of the menu can vary slightly depending on your vMenu version and other EUP resources installed on the server. The Bandanas should still be at the end of Neck and Scarves, in slots 200–208.

EUP Streamed-Asset Troubleshooting

If the resource starts but the Bandanas do not appear, appear invisible, or cause players to disconnect or crash when selecting them, the issue is usually related to FiveM streamed EUP asset limits rather than the ensure line.

1. Confirm the resource is installed correctly

• Confirm the folder is named sonoran-bandanas.
• Confirm it is directly inside the server's resources folder.
• Confirm server.cfg contains ensure sonoran-bandanas.
• Confirm the server was fully restarted after the resource was added.
• Confirm the server console does not report a missing manifest or failed file load.

2. Check your Cfx.re Element Club subscription

Some EUP streamed assets require an active Cfx.re Element Club subscription. If the resource is installed correctly but streamed clothing assets are not loading, verify that the server owner account has the required Element Club subscription for the EUP assets being used.

1. Sign in to the Cfx.re Portal.
2. Check the server owner's Element Club subscription status.
3. Confirm the subscription is active on the account associated with the server's Cfx.re license/key.
4. Restart the server after the subscription or account association is corrected.

Do not post private license keys, account information, or payment details in support channels or screenshots.

3. Set the server to a maximum of 10 players

If EUP assets still fail to stream, temporarily set the server's maximum player count to 10. Add or update this line in server.cfg:

sv_maxclients 10

Then fully restart the server and test the Bandanas again.

TxAdmin - Setting Max Players to 10

RocketNode Panel - Setting Max Players to 10

Use the 10-player limit as a troubleshooting step while testing streamed EUP assets. Once the assets are working, you can test a higher player count again if your server setup and Cfx.re requirements support it.

4. Clear client cache and test again

After changing streamed assets or server settings:

1. Stop FiveM.
2. Clear the FiveM client cache using your normal FiveM cache-cleaning procedure. Do not delete your entire FiveM installation.
3. Restart FiveM and reconnect to the server.
4. Open vMenu and check Neck and Scarves, slots 200–208, again.

5. Test for resource conflicts

Temporarily test with other recently added EUP or clothing resources disabled. If the Bandanas appear after another resource is disabled, re-enable resources one at a time to identify the conflict.

6. Review the client and server logs

Look for errors mentioning:

• sonoran-bandanas
• streamed assets
• EUP clothing components
• asset or archetype limits
• texture or drawable loading

When requesting support, include the relevant error text, your FiveM build, vMenu version, and a list of other EUP resources. Remove license keys and personal account information first.

Quick Verification Checklist

Use this checklist after installation:

• The folder is named sonoran-bandanas.
• The folder is directly inside the server's resources directory.
• server.cfg contains ensure sonoran-bandanas.
• The server was fully restarted.
• The resource has no startup errors.
• vMenu opens successfully.
• Neck and Scarves is available in the EUP menu.
• The Bandanas are visible in slots 200–208.
• If assets do not stream, Element Club status was checked and sv_maxclients 10 was tested.

Escrow Protection

Sonoran’s Bandana EUP is protected through Tebex and Cfx.re Asset Escrow. This helps prevent unauthorized redistribution, leaks, and resale.

Runs as a Separate Resource

Because the asset is escrow-protected, the Bandana EUP must run as its own separate resource and cannot be merged into an existing clothing pack.

The resource is heavily optimized for smooth performance, and textures can still be customized.

Texture Customization

This EUP cannot be edited through Durty Cloth Tool due to Asset Escrow restrictions.

Textures can still be modified by opening the included .ytd file in OpenIV.
