### Features
*Some features may be disabled on specific multiplayer mods depending on functionality*
* Works on multiple server instances sharing the same database
* Jobs operate as factions but leader can make ranks "public" so anybody can use those if enabled.
* Clans with custom ranks, permissions, pay, titles, and more
* Custom inventory system where everything is an item: food, weapons, devices, etc
* All items can be dropped, given, used, picked up, or stored in certain places (other items, vehicles, etc)
* Ownable vehicles, houses, businesses, and more
* No "hard cap" to how many things you can own, but the more you own the more you pay in tax
* Stock your business with any items you want, and set custom prices
* Extra storage for businesses (floor items for sale, stockroom in back for hidden stuff)
* Security features like two-factor login, email alerts for login attempts, and more
* Animations and ped speech for extra RP goodness
* Players can make aliases for commands
* Choosable levels of GUI: Simple (input, list, message like SA-MP), Full (whole app layouts), or None (commands only)
* Custom keybinds. Server can set defaults, but players can bind/unbind keys for personalization
* *Everything* is dynamically changable in the server using commands and/or GUI
* Community-provided translations for GUI and server messages
* Automatic translator for chat (players can turn it on/off for themselves)
* Way too many other things to list here
## Setup
* Download the server from the [downloads page](https://gtaconnected.com/downloads) of the GTA Connected website.
* Download this resource via git clone or directly from GitHub with the green zip download button.
* Add this resource as-is into a resource folder of your choice inside the resources directory of your server.
* Add the resource to the server config. You should also disable a lot of the cvars in the config too. I only have traffic, civilians, planes, and bigmap enabled.
* Download the required modules and add them to your server config. See list of modules below.
* Import the database to your MySQL server, and edit database.json in the resource's config folder with the info to connect to the database.
* Edit `svr_main` table, and set the `svr_game` and `svr_port` to your server's info. Game ID numbers are [here](https://wiki.gtaconnected.com/GameIdentifiers)
* (Optional) Edit the email SMTP connection info. Without this, the email features will be disabled.
* Start the server and connect. Register your account, make a character, and disconnect.
* Edit your account in the database (get your account ID from the acct_main table and then edit the four entries in acct_svr for your account, changing `acct_svr_staff_flags` to negative 1 (-1) ... **you must not be connected to the server when doing this**
* You now have full admin. Enjoy the resource!
## Modules
* [MySQL](https://github.com/VortrexFTW/mod_mysql)
* [Hashing](https://github.com/VortrexFTW/mod_hashing)
* [SMTP](https://github.com/VortrexFTW/mod_smtp) (Optional)
### Git Branches
* master/main - The current release. *Never commit to this branch directly*
* nightly - The next upcoming release. All feature/fix/change branches are merged into this one
* feature/fix/change - This is where the stuff currently being working on goes into.
### Scripting Style
* Always use camelCase, even for event names.
* Use a util function where possible. Keep raw logic in command/event/network handlers to a minimum.
* Keep opening curly brackets in-line. Don't linebreak before an opening curly brackets.
* Use sentence case instead of adjacent uppercase letters in class/member names. (i.e. Id instead of ID)
* Use generic, non-specific class member names wherever possible. (i.e. databaseId instead of accountId)
* All communications from server <-> client are handled in each side's `netevents.js` script files via utils
* All server and client events are handled in each side's `event.js` script files, sometimes with utils.
### Database Style
* Always use lowercase names for tables and fields
* Try to shorten prefix names to four characters or less (i.e. acct=account, veh=vehicle)
* Add an underscore between each word
* Append _main to any tables that store primary data (i.e. acct_main, ban_main, etc)
* Prefix field names with the table name, except for _main tables (i.e. acct_id, job_loc_id)
* Tables use primary key on their ID column
* Tables use both secondary keys & cascading foreign key links to any ID that points to another table
* Prefix table names with func_ if they are a custom function or procedure
### Notes
* The resource is designed to load the script files first, then initialize after that's done.
* The resource is designed to run on multiple servers. Each server needs a row in `svr_main` table with matching port and [game ID](https://wiki.gtaconnected.com/GameIdentifiers)
* The IDEAS.md file is not a to-do list. It's just a random file to throw ideas into when they come to mind.
* Bitwise values are used for several different aspects, mostly related to permissions.
* Bitwise value of -1 is **always** used as "*all flags*" for that set. For admin permissions, -1 is god-tier admin level
