Data Files
Data files are used in FiveM resource manifests (fxmanifest.lua) to load custom game
data like vehicle handling, weapon stats, ped definitions, and audio. Use the data_file
directive to register them.
Keep every referenced file inside the resource, match the directive to its metadata
type, and restart the resource after manifest changes.

Source scope and usage notes
A data_file manifest entry selects a content mounter; the filename extension alone does not select the loader. This catalog retains the declared file type, root element, mounter and source example path. Empty cells mean that the upstream table does not document that field.
Images are served from this repository, not hotlinked. Empty source fields and unknown identifiers are retained as unknown. View the official source or download the complete dataset.
