Includes major updates to all [interiors] config tables (extra_props and homeowner_peds).

General Fixes & Changes

  • Adjusted client-side overweight handling, added PlyCanCarryItem to client/funcs.lua, replacing the old ItemAdded and CannotAddItem event method.
  • Added Config.MaxInventoryWeight, this should match the max weight from your qb-inventory config (required for PlyCanCarryItem). Not needed when using ox_inventory.
  • Moved the GetItemsList function to shared/init.lua.
  • Fixed interior door cracking unlocking the door even after failing the minigame.
  • Added Config.NotifyRep to enable or disable reputation gain notifications.
  • Added Config.DoorHintDistance controls distance for “It’s gotta be around here somewhere” hint.
  • Use Config.ReplaceQbItemNames to convert qb item names to ox when looting peds for better compatibility.
  • Added banana and gasmask item to the provided items_qb.lua and items_ox.lua burglary files.

Update 3.4.9

General Fixes & Improvements

  • Prevent ox_target warnings from search/pickup zones, safes, and interior door cracking (should be all of them :D).

  • Improved scene handling and fixed an issue where players could sometimes get stuck in the security panel scene with no minigame showing.

  • Removed Franklins interior sofa fix stream (already included in bob74_ipl) - also fixes occasional crashes when restarting the resource.

  • Added rep progress bar to the ox_lib context menu.

  • Improved AddItem and AddCashReward security. All server-side item and reward events now validate incoming data structures, config, types, and coordinates to prevent exploits and unauthorized event triggers. → Introduced configurable INTERACT_RANGE constant in items.lua.

  • Fixed “your hands are full” issue when using ox_inventory.

  • Fixed the “Bonk A Local” task.

  • Reverted Tier 4 lockdown alarm back to the original.

  • Changed Tier 4 securitycard item label to “Access card” and updated its description. → items_ox.lua & items_qb.lua.

  • Updated securityphone item description. → items_ox.lua & items_qb.lua.

  • Fixed lockdown/alarm not resetting correctly for all group members.

  • Removed the entire traitor/setup process and related code. To obtain the required securitycard, you must now loot dead guards - each has a chance to drop it based on Config.T4_SecurityCardChance in houses/tier4.lua.

  • Notify players about looting guards for the required item when killed, based on Config.T4_LootGuardHintChance in houses/tier4.lua.

  • Adjusted guard ped target handling to hopefully prevent qb-target CheckEntity errors.

  • Prevent the exterior from loading multiple times when two or more group members enter the area simultaneously.

Update 3.4.8

General Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed tool carry prop not being deleted when the item is removed from the inventory. Adjusted tryAttachToPlayer function in client/carry.lua.

  • Fixed task_complete_notify message not displaying correctly in locale_en.json.

  • Ensure proper particle dict cleanup in the CreateParticle function. Updated in client/funcs.lua.

  • Prevent jumping while carrying props. Modified createAndAttach function in client/carry.lua.

  • Fixed incorrect electric box ID being used when disabling the electric box, even when the correct target was hit, it would return and notify incorrect ID, caused by a mix up between raw ID and target ID. Updated playAxeSmashScene function in client/main.lua.

  • Fixed task menu error when an item couldn’t be found. Although the case was handled, a typo in the error print caused a separate unhandled error. Fixed in GetTaskDescription function in client/main.lua.

  • Moved guard ped clothing style/IDs and face feature configs from client/main.lua to houses/tier4.lua. Now configured via Config.T4_GuardFaceFeatures and Config.T4_GuardClothing.

  • Updated cop breaching logic, cops can now only breach if the house is currently active/busy. Adjusted setCopHouse function and related thread in client/main.lua.

  • Fixed an issue where randomly assigned interiors (when no interior ID is set in the house config) weren’t syncing correctly for cops. Not an issue by default, it only occurred if the interior = 1 setting was removed to allow random interior ID selection. Adjusted setCopHouse function in client/main.lua, and SetForCoppas event in client/main.lua and server/main.lua.

  • Fixed a bug where the house unlocked state was sometimes not reset properly. Updated ResetHouse function in client/main.lua.

Mass cleanup up and refactored various functions and events, removed unused comments, improved variable naming, and reorganised or relocated several events for better structure.

  • Most client files were modified for cleanup (excluding groups.lua and menu.lua).
  • server/main.lua was also updated.
  • Adjust Config.JobCooldown in shared/config.lua.
  • No changes were made to [houses], [interiors], init.lua, or items.lua.

Attempt better version control, 3.3.6 probably should’ve been 3.4, but 3.3 probably 4.0… Fack → Bumped version to 3.4.8

Update 3.3.7 - Hotfix

General Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed an issue where cash props could be repeatedly picked up without being removed or marked as searched. This was caused by recent changes to how being overweight is handled during searches and pickups (introduced in update 3.3.6). Modified pickupAProp function in main.lua.

  • Fixed after using a screwdriver to crack interior doors, attempting to pick up an item would incorrectly show a “hands are full” notification, even though the screwdriver prop had already auto removed. Modified setDoorTarget function in main.lua.

  • Adjusted the coordinates of the additional main door in the T3 Franklin interior to fix a visual flicker (black flash) when viewing the door from certain angles. Modified front door coordinates in T3_Interiors → extra_props for interior ID 2.

  • Added Config.DisableSellman to fully disable sell peds in config.lua.

  • Added a fix option to the lb-phone setting in Config.OptionalResources. If you’re using lb-phone and experiencing issues with accepting or receiving phone mail, try enabling this option. It assumes that lb-phone is passing its own mailId as param1 and the actual mail data as param2 to the AcceptJob function. Modified AcceptJob function in main.lua and config.lua.

  • Fixed issues with lockdown state and boss guard reset behaviour.
  • Electric box logic now selects a random available box to disable lockdowns, rather than matching.
  • CCTV is now usable at any tier, and alerts police at Tiers 1–3.

Targeting & Interaction

  • Adjusted Tier 2 TV interaction zone for better ox_target accessibility in interior/tier2.lua → Config.T2_Interiors → pickup_zones.
  • Improved door enter/exit logic overall - prevents ox_target duplicate zones and warning spam.
  • Ensured an animation is passed to ox_lib progress bars to prevent moving while interacting (searching, looting, etc.).
  • Added a group wide busy state for search/pickup locations to prevent multiple members from interacting with the same target simultaneously.

Group & Job Management

Update 3.3.2

General Fixes & Improvements

  • sk-menu group/member menu: Fixed an issue where creating or joining a group using sk-menu would not display the group in the menu when ox_lib was enabled.

  • Create main interior door: Added an additional main door for the motel T1 interior and both T3 interiors using the extra_props table in the interior config. This ensures there’s no escape from the interior when the default interior door object is missing or fails to be retrieved, moved, or frozen. No more T1 motel void!
  • Adjusted Config.BuyersList: Since ox_inventory does not include the markedbills item by default, which the dirty_cash = true setting in the Config.BuyersList relies on, dirty_cash has been set to false by default. If you want to use this feature, simply update the dirty_item_name to match the name of your dirty cash item in your ox_inventory item list and set dirty_cash to true.
  • Added Ammo Crate and as useable item in server\items.lua
  • Removed Christmas trees from T2/T3
