Resolving the Issue: Error: Your server must be restarted to support pma-voice

Why does this issue occur?

This error typically occurs when starting the r_megaphone script for the first time without restarting the server. During the initial start, the required megaphone.lua file is automatically generated in the pma-voice script folder. However, the error might persist due to the following reasons:

• The r_megaphone script does not have the necessary permissions to create the file.

• Another issue related to file permissions or script configuration.

Steps to Fix This Issue

If the error persists, follow these steps to manually resolve it:

1. Manually Create the megaphone.lua File

   • Navigate to the following folder: @pma-voice/client/.

   • Create a file named megaphone.lua.

   • Copy and paste the following code into the file:

     table.insert(Cfg.voiceModes, {35.0, 'Megaphone'}) -- Here you can change the distance of megaphone
     
     exports('setMegaphone', function(bool, value)
         if bool then
             mode = #Cfg.voiceModes
             setProximityState(Cfg.voiceModes[#Cfg.voiceModes][1], true)
             TriggerEvent('pma-voice:setTalkingMode', #Cfg.voiceModes)
         else
             mode = value
             setProximityState(Cfg.voiceModes[value][1], false)
             TriggerEvent('pma-voice:setTalkingMode', value)
         end
     end)
     
     exports('getMegaphone', function()
         return mode
     end)
     
     RegisterCommand('cycleproximity', function()
         -- Proximity is either disabled, or manually overwritten.
         if GetConvarInt('voice_enableProximityCycle', 1) ~= 1 or disableProximityCycle then return end
         local newMode = mode + 1
     
         -- If we're within the range of our voice modes, allow the increase, otherwise reset to the first state
         if newMode <= #Cfg.voiceModes and newMode ~= #Cfg.voiceModes-1 then
             mode = newMode
         else
             mode = 1
         end
     
         setProximityState(Cfg.voiceModes[mode][1], false)
         TriggerEvent('pma-voice:setTalkingMode', mode)
     end, false)
     if gameVersion == 'fivem' then
         RegisterKeyMapping('cycleproximity', 'Cycle Proximity', 'keyboard', GetConvar('voice_defaultCycle', 'F11'))
     end

2. Modify the fxmanifest.lua File in pma-voice

   • Open the fxmanifest.lua file in the pma-voice script.

   • Add the following line at the bottom of the file:

     client_script 'client/megaphone.lua'

3. Ensure the Startup Order in server.cfg

   • Make sure that the r_megaphone script is started after pma-voice in the server.cfg file. Example:

     ensure pma-voice  
     ensure r_megaphone  

4. Restart the Server

   • Restart the server to apply the changes.
