illenium-appearance

The character creator and clothing shop most roleplay servers run: a full appearance editor with framework bridges and a modern UI.

Every roleplay server needs a place to build a character and a shop to change clothes in. illenium-appearance is the fork of fivem-appearance that added framework integration, clothing and barber shops, outfit saving and a tidy React interface. Its shops are map locations, which is the part that matters when you are deciding what a player should be able to find on the radar.

Why servers run it

Full appearance control — heritage, features, overlays, hair, clothing, props, tattoos.
Clothing, barber, tattoo and surgeon shops as configurable map locations with their own blips.
Outfit saving and management, including job outfits.
Bridges for ESX, QBCore and Qbox rather than a fork per framework.

Installing illenium-appearance

1. Pick the right build
Releases are per framework. Downloading the QBCore build for an ESX server produces a resource that starts and then does nothing.
2. Import the SQL
Outfits and saved appearances are stored in the database.
3. Configure the shops
The config lists every shop location. Each one is a coordinate, a type and a blip.
4. Decide which shops get blips
Every shop with a blip is one more icon on the radar. Servers with a busy map usually mark clothing and barbers and leave tattoo shops unmarked.

Working examples

A clothing shop with a map marker

-- In the appearance config
Config.Stores = {
    { type = 'clothing', coords = vector3(72.3, -1399.1, 29.4), width = 3, length = 2,
      heading = 0, minZ = 28.4, maxZ = 30.4 },
}

-- The matching blip, drawn by the resource
SetBlipSprite(blip, 73)     -- clothing store
SetBlipColour(blip, 47)

What goes wrong

One appearance resource at a time. Running illenium-appearance alongside a framework's bundled skin script gives you two character creators fighting over the ped.

Blips add up. A default config marks every shop; on a map already carrying postals and job icons, that is a lot of clutter.

The build must match the framework. This is the most common install failure and it produces no useful error.
