Configuration

Primary config file:

config.lua
Internal defaults: shared/config_defaults.lua

config.lua is now intentionally small and only contains the values most server owners are likely to change. The resource keeps its detailed timing, audio, and performance tuning in shared/config_defaults.lua so the public config stays clean.

Admin-Facing Settings

Access and permissions:

Config.Framework
Config.DJJobName
Config.DJJobs
Config.DJAcePermission
Config.AllowMultipleDJs
Config.DebugAllowAllDJs
Config.AdminToolsEnabled
Config.EmitterFxAdminIdentifiers
Config.DJGrades
Config.DJBossGrades

Core feature toggles:

Config.EnableCallIns
Config.MaxCallersInQueue
Config.EnableWeatherModule
Config.WeatherAuthorityResource
Config.WeatherAuthorityProvider
Config.WeatherAuthorityFallback
Config.AutonomousStationEnabled
Config.AdEveryTracks
Config.BoomboxEnabled

Common server-specific values:

Config.DJLocations
Config.RadioStationBlips
Config.DJInteractionDistance
Config.DJManageDistance
Config.VehicleRadioKeybind
Config.EmitterDefaultRadius
Config.VehicleEmitterRadius
Config.BoomboxItemName
Config.BoomboxPropModel
Config.BoomboxEmitterRadius

These are the settings most servers will touch when wiring permissions, choosing which features are on, and matching inventory item names or common radio behavior.

Advanced Defaults

shared/config_defaults.lua contains the full compatibility defaults for scheduler timing, call routing, weather cadence, audio ducking, boombox carry tuning, emitter performance, diagnostics, and private runtime wiring. Most servers should leave that file alone unless they are actively tuning behavior after profiling or focused QA.

Operational Guidance

Recommended defaults for most servers:

keep Config.Framework = "auto" unless you need to force qbox, qbcore, esx, or standalone
keep external weather authority enabled if you already use rs_weather
keep trace logging off in production
only edit shared/config_defaults.lua when you specifically need deeper behavior tuning
