Config

config.lua is shared between client and server and holds everything a creator sees or uses: command names, keybinds, branding, the feature settings and every piece of text on screen.

General

CreatorPanel.DevMode = false

Commands

CreatorPanel.Command        = "creatorpanel"
CreatorPanel.MenuCommand    = "creatormenu"
CreatorPanel.CreatorCommand = "creator"

Enter the names without the leading slash. Pick names that do not collide with other resources on your server; if a command silently does nothing, another resource is almost always registering the same name.

Keybinds

CreatorPanel.Keybinds = {
    panel = {
        description = "Creator Panel öffnen",
        key = "",
    },
    menu = {
        description = "Creator Menü öffnen",
        key = "",
    },
}

Because these are real FiveM keybinds, a player can always rebind them in the game settings — the value here is only the default. Changing key later does not overwrite a binding a player has already set for themselves.

Branding and titles

CreatorPanel.Title      = "X-STUDIOS"
CreatorPanel.Subtitle   = "CREATORPANEL"
CreatorPanel.ListLabel  = "Fraktionen"
CreatorPanel.MenuTitle  = "CREATOR MENÜ"
CreatorPanel.MenuFooter = "↑/↓ oder Mausrad wählen · Enter bestätigen · Backspace schließen"

Member list

CreatorPanel.ShowOfflineMembers = true

The three counters above the list (Mitglieder gesamt, Davon online, Davon am Leben) follow this setting.

Teleport

CreatorPanel.Teleport = {
    requireNoclip = true,
    heightOffset  = 1.0,
}

With requireNoclip = true, a teleport attempt outside of noclip is refused with Locales.notify.teleportNoclip, and the button in the panel shows the hint from Locales.panel.teleportHint.

Killfeed

CreatorPanel.Killfeed = {
    duration     = 8,
    maxEntries   = 8,
    position     = { x = 1.5, y = 22 },
    ranges       = { 50, 150, 300, 500 },
    defaultRange = 150,
    minRange     = 10,
    maxRange     = 2000,
}

Only kills that happen inside the selected radius around the creator are shown, which keeps the feed relevant during a stream instead of listing the whole server.

Live check

CreatorPanel.LiveCheck = {
    enabled       = false,
    includeAdmins = false,
}

If a creator has no usable link on their entry, the check fails with Locales.notify.noLink. Add the link when you create the entry — see Creator management.

Features

Noclip

noclip = {
    allowed          = true,
    speed            = 14.0,
    sprintMultiplier = 3.0,
},

If Teleport.requireNoclip is enabled, turning allowed off also disables teleporting in practice.

Nametags

nametags = {
    hpOwnFactionOnly = false,

    ranges       = { 25, 50, 100, 150 },
    defaultRange = 150,

    colours = {
        neutral = 0,
        alive   = 18,
        dead    = 6,
    },
},

The three colours use GTA's built-in HUD colour list:

Any other index from that list works too — for example 12 for yellow or 9 for blue.

Aduty clothing

Aduty = {
    clothing = {
        male = {
            mask   = { 135, 7 },
            arms   = { 3, 7 },
            pants  = { 114, 7 },
            bags   = { 0, 7 },
            shoes  = { 78, 7 },
            chain  = { 0, 7 },
            tshirt = { 15, 7 },
            bproof = { 0, 7 },
            decals = { 0, 7 },
            torso  = { 287, 7 },
            props  = {
                helmet   = { -1, 0 },
                glasses  = { -1, 0 },
                ears     = { -1, 0 },
                watch    = { -1, 0 },
                bracelet = { -1, 0 },
            },
        },
        female = {
            -- same structure, separate values
        },
    },
},

Aduty is the outfit a creator switches into when they go on admin duty. There is one set per gender, and every entry is a pair of { drawable, texture } values — the same numbers your skin menu or clothing shop displays.

Use { -1, 0 } on a prop to leave that slot empty, and { 0, 0 } on a component to reset it to the default. The quickest way to build your own outfit is to dress a character in your skin menu, write down the drawable and texture number of every component and copy them in here.

If a player's gender has no set defined, the switch is refused with Locales.notify.AdutyNoClothing.

Framework integration

The two functions at the bottom of config.lua are the only places where the resource talks to your framework. Replace their bodies and everything else keeps working.

CreatorPanel.Notify = function(type, message)
    local ok = pcall(function()
        local ESX = exports["es_extended"]:getSharedObject()

        ESX.ShowNotification(message, type, 5000)
    end)

    if ok then return end

    TriggerEvent("esx:showNotification", message, type, 5000)
end

CreatorPanel.Revive = function()
    TriggerEvent("esx_ambulancejob:revive")
end

Notify(type, message) is called for every string in Locales.notify. type is a notification type such as "success", "error" or "info", message is the finished text. The default implementation tries the ESX export first and falls back to the esx:showNotification event, so it works on older and newer ESX versions alike.

Examples for other setups:

-- ox_lib
CreatorPanel.Notify = function(type, message)
    exports.ox_lib:notify({ type = type, description = message })
end

-- QBCore
CreatorPanel.Notify = function(type, message)
    TriggerEvent("QBCore:Notify", message, type, 5000)
end

Revive() runs on the client when a creator uses the revive action. Point it at whatever your ambulance job listens to:

-- QBCore / qb-ambulancejob
CreatorPanel.Revive = function()
    TriggerServerEvent("hospital:server:RevivePlayer")
end

Locales

Every string a creator sees lives in CreatorPanel.Locales, grouped by where it appears:

Some notification strings contain a placeholder that is filled in at runtime:

Keep the placeholders in place and in the same order when you translate, otherwise the message renders incorrectly.

Switching the UI to English

The resource ships in German. Replacing the locale table is all it takes:

CreatorPanel.Title      = "X-STUDIOS"
CreatorPanel.Subtitle   = "CREATOR PANEL"
CreatorPanel.ListLabel  = "Factions"
CreatorPanel.MenuTitle  = "CREATOR MENU"
CreatorPanel.MenuFooter = "↑/↓ or mouse wheel to select · Enter to confirm · Backspace to close"

CreatorPanel.Locales = {

    panel = {
        search            = "Search name or ID...",
        jobSearch         = "Search faction...",
        sortId            = "ID",

    },
}

The labels in CreatorPanel.Keybinds are not part of this table — translate them there as well.
