Troubleshooting
- Confirm all manifest dependencies are started before
helicam. - Check the supplied start-order note above; resources absent from server.cfg need an explicit decision before enabling.
- If database queries fail, import the consolidated Base SQL and any resource-local SQL listed above.
- If the UI fails, verify the resource's NUI files and
ui_pagewhen one is declared.
