Getting started

Installation

Install CODE3RESPONSE with the setup wizard, c3rsetup.exe. It downloads the latest release and builds your own [c3r_core] folder with the add-ons and settings you pick; you then drop that folder into your server.

Before you start

  • Your server runs OneSync and up-to-date server artifacts.
  • oxmysql is installed and mysql_connection_string is set in server.cfg.
  • If you'll pick the phone or a radar, install ox_lib. For the taser, install ox_target.
  • Remove any other police game mode (ERS, FivePD, a framework police job's traffic stops). Two scripts fighting over the same keys and peds won't end well.

1. Run the wizard

Run c3rsetup.exe on any Windows PC. It doesn't have to be the server: the wizard never touches your server, it only builds a folder, so Windows and Linux servers are both fine. It needs internet while it runs.

The wizard walks through:

  1. Welcome: pick New install.
  2. Add-ons: the core is always included. Tick the add-ons you want. The MDT is ticked by default; leaving it out asks you to confirm, because a lot of c3r shows up there.
  3. Settings: keybinds, who may go on duty, backup vehicles and chances. Everything is filled in with sensible defaults, so you can just press Next.
  4. Where should it go? Your desktop is fine.
  5. Building: it downloads the release and writes [c3r_core] with your choices.

2. Add it to your server

Drag the whole [c3r_core] folder into your server's resources folder. Keep the folder names as they are: the resources find each other by name.

Then add one line to server.cfg, after oxmysql (and after ox_lib and ox_target if you use them):

ensure oxmysql
ensure [c3r_core]

The resources declare their own dependencies, so they start in the right order inside the folder. The brackets tell FiveM to start everything in it.

3. Start the server

Restart the server fully (not just ensure the folder). On first start c3r and the MDT create their database tables. Watch the console for red errors.

4. Check it works

  1. In game, press F11 and pick Police. You're on duty.
  2. Get in a police car and drive. Press Left Shift to put the red circle on the road ahead, steer it under a car, then turn on your lights. The car pulls over.
  3. Hold H and say "plate check". Dispatch reads the plate back.
  4. Press F7. The MDT opens with your stop on the calls board.

If any step fails, see Common errors.

Permissions

Nothing needs a permission to play. These are optional:

# Admins: the in-game config editor (/c3rconfig) and callout placement (/c3rplace)
add_ace group.admin command.c3rconfig allow

# MDT supervisors: edit or delete anyone's report, run /mdtexport
add_ace group.admin lwk_mdt.supervisor allow

# Phone admin commands (if you picked the phone)
add_ace group.admin lwk_phone.admin allow

To limit who can go on duty, set Config.DutyAce in c3r's config (see Configuration).
