Editable files
In CFX escrow, paths listed under escrow_ignore ship as plain text. You can edit them and must back them up when updating — see How to update.
Current escrow_ignore
From fxmanifest.lua:
lua
escrow_ignore {
"config/**/*.lua",
"shared/**/*.lua",
"locales/**/*",
"modules/**/*.lua",
"furniture.lua",
"apartments.lua",
"server/editable.lua",
"server/garage/providers/*.lua",
"server/garage/main.lua",
"shared/garage/*.lua",
}Nearly all Lua is editable, including configs and the bridge adapter.

Update tip
When Prodigy ships an update: back up every edited escrow_ignore file, replace the resource cleanly, then re-apply only your custom values into the new files so you keep new options.
