[Release][ESX / vRP / Standalone] Drag & Drop chat command packs

glitchdetector · May 11, 2019, 12:24am

Universal Chat Command System

Are you tired of having to download old, broken and deprecated chat command resources?
Fear not, here’s a totally new universal chat command system that works standalone and with popular frameworks.

A custom system made to allow easy installation of chat command packs that allows advanced customized behavior, and allows quick and easy modification for server owners.

Features

Framework compatiblity (vRP & ESX)
Automatic name formatting based on server frameworks
Easy configuration
Simple drag-and-drop installation method
Universal bridge between chat commands and frameworks
Potentially powerful API, yet also simple to use.
Auto-updater, so you can easily get the newest features!

Note

This resource in itself does not contain commands, example packs can be found at the bottom of this post.

There should be enough comments etc. to get started on creating your own commands, even if you’re not an experienced programmer.

All commands can only be ran by players, and will be blocked in the console.

Download

Warning! This resource depends on a feature only available since FXServer version `1226`!

If you are using linux!

Instructions Linux Compatibility

Seems like this method is currently not linux compatible then.

A workaround is to between the
server_script "commands/*.lua"
and the
server_script "system/sv_fxcheck_*.lua"
lines in the __resource.lua file, you can add each command pack as a server_script.

F.ex:
server_script "commands/*.lua"
server_script "commands/cmds_roleplay_toolkit.lua"
server_script "commands/cmds_admin.lua"
server_script "system/sv_fxcheck_*.lua"

This will still show the warning in the console, but the packs will be loaded.

Also, do note that whenever support comes around for drag-and-drop files, your files will be loaded twice and you need to remove the manual additions.

Resource Installation

Download the repository
Put the chat_commands folder in your resources directory
Add start chat_commands to your server config
Configure settings.lua to your liking
- If you are using ESX or vRP, set the use_esx or use_vrp field to true!

Command Pack Installation

Download the command pack, they usually come as .lua files
Drag and drop the pack file into the chat_commands/commands folder
You should now see that the pack is loaded when the server is started

Example packs can be found at the bottom of this post.

Settings

There are a couple settings you can configure for your server.
These can be found in the settings.lua file.

Setting	Required	Type	Description
show_id	No	boolean	makes the players name also include the players ID
logging	No	boolean	enables print output to the console (and chat during commands)
use_esx	No	boolean	compatibility with ESX
use_vrp	No	boolean	compatibility with vRP (f.ex Dunko’s vRP) (does not support vRP 2!)
cb	No	function	Global callback function, can be used to log every command, or do other fancy stuff
use_framework_name	No	boolean	automatically format names using framework systems, such as character identity
check_updates	No	boolean	check for updates on startup (recommended)

DehzDoesEUP · May 11, 2019, 8:15am

Very nice

Barren · May 11, 2019, 10:54am

Very nice post, will install it to my dev server. This here really adds a lot of options to the command system.

CosmoKramer · May 11, 2019, 1:28pm

Great release, working great and loving the modularity of it.

Do you have plans of adding esx_identity support?

glitchdetector · May 11, 2019, 2:41pm

Yes, although I’m not familiar with ESX, so adding compatibility with ESX stuff in general is something I need others to help with

DroidNetPC · May 11, 2019, 4:36pm

i try instal to my server hosting (zaphosting) and i got Error on the console

[Chat Commands] ESX compatibility enabled
[Chat Commands] Starting chat command loading process

I do not understand. I did the instructions correctly. but got an error like that

and on ingame still using the original command chat

glitchdetector · May 11, 2019, 5:15pm

This clearly states what the problem is. It’s also mentioned in the post right by the download that you need FXServer 1226 or newer.

If you are unable to manually update your FXServer, contact ZAP support for help.

This does not remove or replace any functionality already present on your server, it’s a modular system that allows easier installation of new commands.

DroidNetPC · May 11, 2019, 5:54pm

I tried to manually update my server. but on
https://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/
the latest version is 1141

note: my hosting server uses the linux version

Blumlaut · May 11, 2019, 8:09pm

oops?

glitchdetector · May 11, 2019, 8:27pm

I was not aware of the person using Linux until after that message, only that they were using ZAP-hosting.
I was also not aware that Linux was not being updated with the Windows artifacts.

I’ve also added the workaround to the OP just by the download, so this issue can be resolved by the end user themselves.

ForPlayers · May 12, 2019, 9:21am

I download that and I have this Fail but is updated to last version of FXServer

A new update has been released, the notable changes include:

ESX Identity support
Now utilizing Essentialmode’s command system for ESX compatibility
An auto-updater feature
Examples are now included in the download, but not in the resource itself
Added some more examples
Included a module system for client modules, such as overhead text
Smaller changes to logic

You need to update manually with this update, but further updates can be automatically downloaded.

CosmoKramer · May 14, 2019, 7:21pm

Such a great update. Wonderful work

Tenlis · May 15, 2019, 12:47am

Hi ! Thx for the topic ! I’m block with chat_commands, my folder is in [esx] everything load (on the cmd) when i launch the server and when i start fivm this one bloc the connection > Couldn’t load ressource “chat_commands”.

Can you help me pls ?

Santiago_Iamarino · May 18, 2019, 4:25pm

I have the same problem

glitchdetector · May 18, 2019, 6:08pm

None of you have specified what version you are using, saying “i have this problem” doesn’t do anything.
Are you using windows or linux? Have you read the OP fully? What FXServer version are you using?

CosmoKramer · May 20, 2019, 10:02pm

Not sure if it’s just an issue on my end, but the Overhead text example in /me is not working.

eltaz · May 27, 2019, 11:37am

Hello so What do I need to do for this to work on zap hosting?
