Crowe Crafting - Book-Based Crafting UI & World Stations [VORP]

Crowe Crafting is a RedM/VORP crafting resource built around physical crafting books, optional world stations, campfire cooking, and a left-docked UI that keeps the crafting flow visible without covering the player. It combines themed craft books, visible lock states, server-side validation, dual progression tracks, metadata recipes, VORP inventory images with SVG fallback, and shared order tools so players can move between recipes, work orders, and recent crafts in one clean interface.

Key Features

  • Multiple Craft Books: Includes unique crafting books for general crafting, drugs, cooking, gunsmithing, herbalist, mining, saloon, and survival flows.

  • Left-Docked Crafting UI: The interface stays on the left side so the center of the screen remains open for the player ped and crafting animation.

  • Craft-Minimize Dock: During active crafting, the main UI can minimize into a compact dock with quick restore and cancel controls.

  • Visible Locked Recipes: Recipes remain visible and clearly show whether they require a job, rank, or crafting level.

  • VORP Inventory Images: Loads item images from your VORP inventory with automatic SVG fallback when an image does not exist, or run full SVG-only mode.

  • Server-Side Validation: Materials and carry checks are enforced before and after crafting for reliable item handling.

  • Dual Progression Tracks: Separate default and shady XP pools with configurable XP curves and optional per-track level caps.

  • Reusable Tool Support: Legacy recipes using itemCount 0 are treated as must-own tools that are not consumed.

  • Decay-Aware Ingredients: Recipes can enforce minimum ingredient condition through canUseDecay thresholds.

  • Metadata Recipes: Supports static metadata, per-item metadata for non-stackable outputs, unique ID generation, and dynamic metadata builders.

  • Favorites, Orders, and History: Players can save favorites, create personal craft orders, create shared job work orders, and review recent crafts.

  • Physical Stations & Hours: Supports world stations with prompts, NPCs, operating hours, and category-specific access.

  • Station Job Locks: Locked stations can hide prompts and blips from players who do not have the required job.

  • Campfire Cooking: Supported campfire objects open a cooking-only crafting menu with separate animation handling for standing campfire setups.

  • Multi-Society Support: Auto-detects jobs from vorp, crowe_society, brew_society, syn_society, mega_companies, and dl_society.

  • Crowe Integration Support: Supports crowe_progress and crowe_notification with built-in fallback behavior.
