Configuration

Your settings survive updates. In 3.0 every value you change is saved by tw-lib in the database (tw_lib_settings). When you install an update, tw-lib writes your values back into the new config file. You never have to back up or merge a config again.

---

Three Ways to Change a Setting

Way	Best for
In game: /twlib → Settings	Pay, XP, bonus, cooldown, crew size, level rules, reward split, interaction style. Saved values apply when the job restarts: use the Restart button in the menu.
Edit defaults/config.lua / defaults/coordinate.lua	Everything else. Save the file and restart tw-electrician: tw-lib notices your edit and stores it.
Server console: twlib set	Quick changes without opening a file: twlib set tw-electrician Config.MaxPlayersInLobby 3, then restart tw-electrician. Undo with twlib unset tw-electrician Config.MaxPlayersInLobby.

After tw-lib stores a value, the line in the config file shows the shipped default next to it, for example Config.MaxPlayersInLobby = 3 --[[twlib:4]]. That marker is how tw-lib tells your value from ours. Leave it there.

---

Configuration Files

File	What is inside
defaults/config.lua	General settings, lobby, commands, UI colours, regions & rewards, daily missions, tutorial videos, truck lift, levels
defaults/coordinate.lua	Work spots of every region (transformers, boards, lamps, traffic lights, poles)
defaults/locales/*.lua	Texts in 7 languages
hooks/*.lua	Your own functions (start/end hooks, notifications, prompts)

There is no Config.Framework, Config.Inventory or Config.SQL anymore: tw-lib detects them. The old key, fuel and skin functions are gone too; Config.Vehiclekey, Config.Removekeys and Config.ChangeClothesSystem still switch those features off.

---

General

Config.Locale             = TwLibLocale or 'en' -- Language: en, tr, de, fr, pt, ru, ar
Config.CurrencyUnit       = '$'
Config.ServerName         = "TWORST"            -- Max 10 characters
Config.MoneyType2         = "bank"              -- Reward account: 'bank' or 'cash'

Language

Default is English. To change it, run twlib set tw-electrician Config.Locale tr in the server console and restart the job, or change 'en' in the Config.Locale line and restart the job. Both are kept across updates.

---

Interaction

Config.InteractionHandler = 'default'      -- 'default' | 'drawtext' | 'ox-target' | 'qb-target' | 'auto'
Config.DrawTextUI         = "twlib"        -- "twlib" | "3dtext" | "qb" | "esx" | "ox_lib" | "custom"
Config.DrawTextPosition   = "right-center" -- "left-center" | "right-center" | "top-center"
Config.InteractionKeyColor = "~g~"

Config.InteractionHandler	Meaning
'default'	Use the choice made once for all Tworst jobs in /twlib → Settings → All jobs (or twlib set tw-lib interaction ox-target)
'drawtext'	Tworst prompt with E
'ox-target' / 'qb-target'	Target eye
'auto'	ox_target if running, else qb-target, else the Tworst prompt

Config.DrawTextUI decides what draws the "[E] - Fix transformer" prompts:

Config.DrawTextUI	Prompt
"twlib"	The shared Tworst prompt from tw-lib (default, same look in every Tworst job)
"3dtext"	The job's own 3D text in the world
"qb"	qb-core DrawText
"esx"	GTA help notification (top left)
"ox_lib"	ox_lib TextUI. ox_lib must be started on your server
"custom"	Your own functions: Config.CustomDrawText / Config.CustomHideText (see Hooks)

Anything other than "3dtext" shows one prompt on screen: when several points are in range, the closest one wins. Config.DrawTextPosition is used by "ox_lib" and "qb".

---

Lobby & Job

Config.MaxPlayersInLobby    = 4     -- Crew size
Config.LetOwnerSplitRewards = true  -- The owner sets each member's share of the money reward
Config.jobCoolDownHours     = 0     -- Hours before the same player can work again (0 = none); every crew member counts
Config.jobLevelCheck        = false -- true: everyone in the lobby needs the region's level
Config.ChangeClothesSystem  = true  -- Job uniform on start; the player's own clothes come back at the end
Config.Vehiclekey           = true  -- Give keys for the truck
Config.Removekeys           = true  -- Take them back at the end
Config.Debug                = false

Who Can Take the Job

Config.Job = {
    ['job'] = 'all',              -- 'all', a job name ('mechanic') or a list ({ 'mechanic', 'police' })
    ['removePlayerHealt'] = 15,   -- Health taken when a repair minigame fails
    ...
}

The job rule is checked on the server when a lobby is opened and when an invite is accepted. On frameworks without jobs (standalone, vRP, TMC) everyone can join.

Commands

Config.Command = {
    jobReset     = "jobresetelectrician",
    jobLeave     = "jobleaveelectrician",
    openTutorial = "openTutorialelectrician",
}

Invite Keys

Config.Keys = {
    inviteAccept  = 246, -- Y
    inviteDecline = 306, -- CTRL
}

Truck Lift

Config.ControlLift = {
    up   = 172, -- Arrow up
    down = 173, -- Arrow down
}

---

Job Menu Look

The job menu is the shared Tworst job UI inside tw-lib. The electrician's colours and pictures:

Config.UI = {
    primary            = 'rgb(125, 139, 189)',       -- Accent: buttons, titles, bars
    primaryHover       = 'rgb(61, 95, 139)',
    primaryTransparent = 'rgba(125, 157, 189, 0.1)',
    background         = 'rgba(19, 34, 41, 0.94)',
    titleBg            = 'rgba(26, 43, 51, 1)',
    titleFont          = 'Nature',
    logo               = 'img/newLogo.png',          -- Path inside html/ or an https:// link
    scoreIcon          = 'img/teamScoreImg.png',
    regionImage        = 'img/region.png',
    scriptName         = 'Electrician',
}

Config.DefaultUIPositions sets where the crew list, score, invite and notification boxes sit on screen. Players can also move them in game.

---

Job Location & Blips

Config.Job = {
    ['coords'] = {
        ['intreactionCoords'] = vector3(528.77, -1603.26, 29.34),
        ['ped'] = true,
        ['pedCoords'] = vector3(528.77, -1603.26, 29.34),
        ['pedHeading'] = 46.59,
        ['pedHash'] = 0x49EA5685,
    },
    ['blip'] = { show = true, blipType = 643, blipColor = 3, blipScale = 0.9 },
    ...
}

['missionBlips'] holds the blips of each task type, the truck and the delivery point.

---

Regions & Rewards

['regionData'] = {
    {
        regionID = 1,
        regionInfo = {
            regionName = "Alta",
            regionImage = "region.png",
            regionMinimumLevel = 0,
        },
        regionAwards = {
            money = 5000,             -- Paid to the crew at the end
            xp = 1000,
            onlineJobExtraAwards = 2, -- Multiplier per extra crew member
            bonusExtraMoney = 500,    -- Bonus task pay
            bonusExtraXP = 200,
        },
        missioncompletedItems = { giveItemPlayer = false, dropMode = "weightedPool", itemList = { ... } },
        regionJobVehicle = { vehicle = "utillitruck2", vehicle2 = 'utillitruck3' },
        vehicleSpawnCoords = {
            vehicleCoords  = vector4(528.24, -1590.85, 29.28, 139.91),
            vehicleCoords2 = vector4(516.8, -1604.03, 29.3, 319.85),
        },
        regionJobTask = {
            { id = 1, jobName = "fixTrafo",       missionCount = { minAmount = 1, maxAmount = 2 } },
            { id = 2, jobName = "fixHouseBoard",  missionCount = { minAmount = 2, maxAmount = 4 } },
            { id = 3, jobName = "fixStreetLamp",  missionCount = { minAmount = 1, maxAmount = 4 } },
            { id = 4, jobName = "fixTrafficLamp", missionCount = { minAmount = 1, maxAmount = 1 } },
            { id = 5, jobName = "phonePole",      missionCount = { minAmount = 1, maxAmount = 2 } },
        },
    },
},

The six regions (Alta, El Burro Heights, Vespucci, Rockford Hills, Strawberry, Mirror Park) all pay $5,000 and 1,000 XP by default. missionCount sets how many of each task a region can roll. The work spots themselves are in defaults/coordinate.lua under Config.Coordinate[regionID].

Your changes to a region are saved against its regionID. If a later update adds, moves or reorders regions, your money and XP stay with the right region. Keep regionID values unique and do not reuse them.

Reward Split

With Config.LetOwnerSplitRewards = true the lobby owner sets each member's share in the lobby menu: the crew's total (the reward per player × the members online at the payout) is shared by those percentages. With false every member gets the same reward.

Mission Completion Items

missioncompletedItems gives extra items at the end of a region. dropMode = "perItem" rolls each item on its own; "weightedPool" gives one item from the pool.

---

Daily Missions

['dailyMission'] = {
    { name = 'jobtask_one',   count = 50,    xp = 2500, money = 1000 },
    { name = 'jobtask_two',   count = 10,    xp = 1000, money = 3000 },
    { name = 'jobtask_three', count = 10000, xp = 2000, money = 3000 },
    { name = 'jobtask_four',  count = 20,    xp = 2000, money = 3000 },
},

Changes to a daily mission are saved against its name. Keep the names unique.

---

Tutorial

Config.TutorialList = {
    { id = 1, title = ..., description = ..., name = 'https://r2.fivemanage.com/.../Electrician1.mp4' },
    -- ... 5 videos
}

Players open it with /openTutorialelectrician. Replace a name with your own video link to show your own tutorial.

---

Levels

Config.RequiredXP holds the XP needed for each of the 70 levels. XP above the requirement carries over to the next level.

---

Texts

All texts are in defaults/locales/<language>.lua. Edit the file and restart the job: tw-lib keeps your edited texts across updates like any other setting. A text missing in a language falls back to English.

---

Hooks

Functions cannot be stored in the database, so they live in hooks/. Copy hooks/hooks.example.lua to hooks/my-hooks.lua and edit it there. An update replaces only the example; your file is never touched, and it is loaded after the settings, so it wins.

-- Runs for every player in the lobby before the job starts. Return false to stop that player.
Config.startJobFunction = function(source, owneridentifier)
    local job = exports['tw-lib']:GetPlayerJob(source) -- { name, label, grade }; nil on standalone / vRP / TMC
    return job ~= nil and job.name == 'mechanic'
end

-- Runs for every player when the job is finished.
Config.endJobFunction = function(source, owneridentifier, scoreAmount)
end

-- Your own notification system.
Config.sendNotification = function(messageData)
    local text = type(messageData) == 'table' and messageData.text or messageData
    exports['my-notify']:Send(text)
end

-- Your own prompt when Config.DrawTextUI = "custom".
-- Called once when a prompt appears (and again only if its text changes), never every frame.
-- text has no "[E] - " prefix; key is "E" or nil for an info-only prompt.
Config.CustomDrawText = function(text, key, position)
    exports['my-textui']:Show(text, key)
end
Config.CustomHideText = function()
    exports['my-textui']:Hide()
end
