Empty streets kill immersion faster than any bug. Today we’re doing something about it: Ped Placer, our persistent NPC placement tool for Qbox servers, is now completely free — on our store and on the official Cfx.re forum.
What Ped Placer does
Walk up to a spot, open a menu, and drop an NPC that stays there forever. Placements are saved to MySQL, so your bartenders, shopkeepers, guards and street life survive restarts and reboots. Peds stream in and out by distance, so you can furnish a whole city without blowing GTA’s ped pool — and if the engine culls one inside an MLO, it silently respawns instead of vanishing until the next restart.
The features server owners ask us about
- Emote bridge — loop any scully_emotemenu emote as a permanent animation, including held props: a bartender wiping the bar with a rag, a regular nursing a beer, a foreman holding a clipboard.
- Behaviours — idle, GTA scenarios, multi-point patrol routes, wander, and paired interactions.
- Groups & area visibility — save a venue’s staff as a named group, then hide or show the whole business at runtime. Club closed on weekdays? One call.
- NUI dashboard — browse, search and edit every placed ped from a visual interface.
- Developer API — exports let your other resources query and control placed peds.
- 300+ ped model presets, scenarios, weapons and radio stations, all data-driven in an open config.
Why free?
Ped Placer is the tool we built for our own city, and it’s the fastest way to show you how we build. Every script in our catalog gets the same treatment: real performance budgets, clean installs, and configs you can actually edit. If Ped Placer earns a slot on your server, the rest of the catalog is where to look next.
Get it
Grab it free from our store — instant delivery as a Cfx.re asset through Keymaster. You’ll need Qbox (qbx_core), ox_lib and oxmysql; scully_emotemenu is optional and unlocks the emote bridge. Install docs live in our documentation, and support runs through our Discord.
We’re also now publishing releases on the official Cfx.re forum — keep an eye on FiveM Releases for more free drops from RR Interactive.
