Configuration

This script has three real configuration areas:

• config.lua
• escrow/bench/config.lua
• escrow/craft/config.lua

Some builds may also use:

• data/in_game_benches.json

If you remember only one rule, remember this:

• config.lua = level system, money settings, debug, image path
• escrow/bench/config.lua = where benches are, what object they use, and who can access them
• escrow/craft/config.lua = what can be crafted, what ingredients it needs, and which item sets belong to which benches

Quick Answers#

• Change item image path: config.lua -> Config.InventoryImagesFolder
• Change level system or XP table: config.lua -> Config.LevelSystem and Config.Levels
• Change money handling: config.lua -> Config.Money
• Add, move, disable, or restrict a bench: escrow/bench/config.lua
• Change which recipes a bench shows: escrow/bench/config.lua -> itemSetKey and escrow/craft/config.lua -> CRAFT_BENCH_ITEM_SETS
• Change one recipe or ingredient list: escrow/craft/config.lua -> CRAFTABLE_ITEMS
• Change supported weapon components: escrow/craft/config.lua -> WEAPON_COMPONENTS
• Remove the default Camp Fire bench: escrow/bench/config.lua

What Is Inside config.lua?#

The real source file controls:

• Config.InventoryImagesFolder
• Config.LevelSystem
• Config.Levels
• Config.Money
• Config.debug

This file is for system-wide behavior, not for bench locations or recipe lists.

What Is Inside escrow/bench/config.lua?#

This file controls bench placement and access. Real source sections include:

• targetableModels
• blipOptions
• commands.adminMenu
• makePedInvisibleOnBenchUse
• benches

Real source examples include benches such as:

• Police Bench
• Ballas Bench
• Camp Fire

Each bench entry can define:

• active
• label
• blip
• location
• objectModel
• itemSetKey
• groups
• job
• gang

How Do I Add Or Edit A Bench?#

Open:

escrow/bench/config.lua

Then edit or add a bench entry under:

benches = {
    ...
}

This is where you change:

• bench label
• coordinates
• object model
• blip state
• job or gang restriction
• recipe set shown on that bench

How Do I Restrict A Bench To One Job Or Gang?#

Use the bench entry fields:

• groups
• job
• gang

If a bench is visible but not usable by the correct players, this is the first file to inspect.

What Is Inside escrow/craft/config.lua?#

This file controls the actual crafting data. Real source sections include:

• CRAFTABLE_ITEMS
• CRAFT_BENCH_ITEM_SETS
• WEAPON_BONES
• WEAPON_COMPONENTS

That means this file is where you change:

• recipe ingredients
• crafted outputs
• craft duration
• reward XP
• required craft level
• which items belong to each bench item set
• supported attachment or component logic

How Do Bench Item Sets Work?#

This is the part many server owners miss:

• the bench uses itemSetKey
• the recipes shown on that bench come from CRAFT_BENCH_ITEM_SETS

So if you add a recipe and it does not appear on the bench, check both:

1. did you add or keep the recipe inside CRAFTABLE_ITEMS?
2. did you place that recipe inside the correct item set inside CRAFT_BENCH_ITEM_SETS?
3. does the bench use the same itemSetKey?

If one of those three does not match, the recipe will not show on the bench.

What About Weapon Components?#

The real source includes weapon attachment and component logic in:

WEAPON_COMPONENTS

If your attachment recipes do not work, check both sides:

• the component recipe item exists in your inventory
• the weapon component mapping exists in WEAPON_COMPONENTS

What About The Camp Fire Bench?#

The default source includes a Camp Fire bench with:

objectModel = '3fe_beach_fire'

If your server does not have that object, do not keep debugging recipes first. Disable or replace the bench object in escrow/bench/config.lua.

If Your Changes Do Not Apply#

Check these in order:

1. Did you edit config.lua, escrow/bench/config.lua, or escrow/craft/config.lua in the correct place?
2. Did you restart 0r-craft-v2 after the change?
3. Did you change the recipe in CRAFTABLE_ITEMS but forget to add it to the right CRAFT_BENCH_ITEM_SETS entry?
4. Did you change the recipe set but forget the bench itemSetKey?
5. Is the problem actually the bench object model, not the recipe?
