Do I need OpenIV, CodeWalker, or Folders2YTD?

No. You draw the map live in-game with /minimap and the built-in exporter writes the YTD files for you — no external tools, no manual texture editing.

Does it support Oulsen Satmap?

Yes. Oulsen Satmap tiles (with and without postals) are bundled as base tile sets, so you can draw zones, labels, and postals on top of the satellite look.

Can I make a hood / gang turf minimap?

Yes — that is a core use case. Draw gang zones and turf boundaries directly on the live map, label hoods, and redraw in minutes when territory changes.

Can I add or renumber postal codes?

Yes. Place and renumber postal codes visually on the in-game map — a one-click generator can also populate every standard postal across the map.

Does the export replace the FiveM radar for everyone?

Yes. The export writes a drop-in streamed resource; ensure it and restart, and the custom minimap replaces the default radar server-wide.

Which frameworks are supported?

ESX, QBCore, Qbox, and standalone servers. The resource auto-detects your framework — no configuration needed.

How do I receive the script after purchase?

At checkout you sign in once with your Cfx.re (FiveM) account — the same login you use for FiveM itself. After payment, the script is granted to your Keymaster instantly: download it there, drop it in your resources folder, and you're live.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes — a 7-day technical guarantee. If a verified technical issue prevents the script from working as described and we cannot resolve it within 48 hours of receiving your logs, we refund the purchase.

Is the code protected by escrow?

Yes. Assets are delivered through Cfx.re asset escrow, with readable configs for everything you need to customize.

Do I get updates and support?

Every purchase includes free lifetime updates and direct Discord support from the developer, typically within 24 hours.

Can I buy from outside the United States?

Yes — most of our customers are international. Prices are in USD; Tebex checkout accepts cards, PayPal, and many local payment methods worldwide, and your bank converts to your currency automatically.

Can I translate the script into my language?

Yes. Every LMX script supports language customization — player-facing text is editable through the locale/config, so you can run it in German, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Arabic, or any other language your community speaks.

LMX Minimap Creator — In-Game FiveM Minimap Editor

Description

🗺️ LMX Minimap Creator

The first visual, in-game minimap editor and map builder for FiveM. Open it with /minimap and draw directly on the live map inside your game world — zones, gang zones, turf boundaries, labels, postal codes, custom imagery — with instant preview at every zoom level. Hit Export, restart the server, and your custom hood minimap replaces the default FiveM radar for everyone. No OpenIV. No CodeWalker. No Folders2YTD. No hand-editing YTD files and no flat browser canvas — you design on the real map, exactly where it lands in game.

One-time $29.99 — unlimited exports, no subscription, no per-map fees.

🔧 Core Features

🖌️ In-Game Visual Editor

Pan, zoom, drag, undo/redo — feels like a real graphics tool, not a config file
Draw custom zones straight onto the map — neighborhoods, gang zones, turf boundaries — ideal for hood map builds
Multi-layer system (base, zones, streets, icons, masks, custom layers)
Live preview of every change at any zoom level
Properties panel on the right with full per-element controls

🧩 Multiple Built-In Tile Sets

Stock GTA V minimap
Oulsen Satmap (satellite view, MIT-licensed)
Kustoms Postal Code Map (full postal map overlay)
Oulsen Satmap (no postals — clean satellite imagery)
Switch sets live in the toolbar — no restart needed
Imported tile sets: drop any minimap_sea_*.ytd pack into import/<MapName>/ and it auto-discovers on resource start

🪄 Built-In YTD Exporter

Writes drop-in minimap_sea_*.ytd + minimap_*.ytd files directly into the resource's stream/ folder
BC3 (DXT5) compression, 1024 or 4096 per tile (auto-detect from source)
LOD tile (minimap_lod_128.ytd) generated automatically
Plus 65 YDD drawable stubs that suppress the vanilla 3D map

🎨 Quick Edit (Q)

Drag a rectangle over a baked-in label
Auto-samples the surrounding background color so your mask blends invisibly
Type your replacement text → done in one motion
Perfect for replacing postal codes / street names on baked-label tile sets, or laying out your own postal map

🩹 AI Heal Tool (H)

Paint over an unwanted feature on the base tile
ONNX in-paint model fills it with surrounding terrain (roads, water, grass)
Local inference — no API calls, no per-use costs
Model auto-fetched on first use (~49 MB, cached forever after)

📍 One-Click Generators

Defaults — populates every canonical GTA V zone label
Streets — drops every major street name in the right place
Postals — every postal number across the map

🖼️ Image Paste (Ctrl+V)

Paste any image from your clipboard onto the canvas
Move, resize, rotate, restyle
Auto color-match button shifts the image's tone toward the surrounding map (one-click "make it look native")

💾 Project Save / Autosave

Name your projects, switch between drafts
Autosave every 2 minutes
"Restore Autosave" button in the load dialog brings back your last 2-minute snapshot if the editor closes unexpectedly

🌐 Lightweight Footprint

Base PNG tiles + AI heal model are pulled from a CDN on first use
Resource folder stays under 10 MB instead of 350 MB
Per-server cached forever after first fetch
