mic_boosting has two layers. A short config.lua holds the handful of things decided once — framework, how the tablet opens, who is an admin, the language. Everything about gameplay lives in the database and is edited live from the admin panel (/boostingconfig), with no restart.

Which file decides what

Where	What it decides	Open to edit
config.lua	Framework, tablet item/command, admin access, language, interaction system, police jobs, test pins	Yes
shared/prices.lua	Starting values for six economy settings — read only on the very first start (see below)	Yes
locales/*.lua	Every notification and every tablet string, one file per language; locales/locale.lua is the loader	Yes
bridge/server_bridge.lua	Framework, money, items, usable item, police count, admin check, giving a car to a garage	Yes
bridge/client_bridge.lua	Notifications, the text prompt, target interactions, the police dispatch alert	Yes
items/	Item definitions for ox_inventory, QBCore and ESX, and the seven item images	Yes
ui/	The tablet itself (HTML, CSS, JS)	Escrowed
client/, server/	The game logic and the admin panel back end	Escrowed
Admin panel (/boostingconfig)	Spots, drop-offs, classes, cars, guards, minigames, tool shop, progression, economy	In game

The open files are the ones listed in escrow_ignore in fxmanifest.lua: config.lua, locales/, shared/ and bridge/.

config.lua

Framework and language

Option	What it does	Default
Config.Framework	'auto' checks for qb-core, then es_extended, else standalone. QBox is found as qb-core, through its QBCore compatibility. Or force 'qbcore' (also for QBox), 'esx', 'standalone'	'auto'
Config.CoreResource	In the file, but not read by this version: detection always looks for resources named qb-core and es_extended	''
Config.Locale	Language for notifications and the tablet. Falls back to English	'en'

Opening the tablet

Option	What it does	Default
Config.TabletOpenMode	'item', 'command' or 'both'	'item'
Config.TabletItem	The usable item that opens it	mic_boosting_tablet
Config.TabletCommand	The command that opens it, in command or both mode	boosting

Admin access

Option	What it does	Default
Config.AdminCommand	Command that opens the admin panel	boostingconfig
Config.AdminGroups	Ranks that count as admin. ESX compares the player’s group; QBCore asks HasPermission for each name	admin, superadmin, god
Config.AdminAce	An ACE that also makes you admin. The only route on standalone. false turns it off	command

The same check decides who sees the Admin tab inside the tablet. More in ⌨️ Commands & permissions.

Interaction and police

Option	What it does	Default
Config.InteractionSystem	How the lockpick prompt appears on the car: 'ox_target', 'qb_target' or 'drawtext' (press E)	'ox_target'
Config.PoliceJobs	Jobs counted for each class’s minimum police online	police, sheriff, lspd, bcso

With ox_target the car also shows a separate EMP Jammer option to anyone carrying one. In the other modes the jammer is still used — automatically, when the lockpick starts.

Testing

Option	What it does	Default
Config.ForceDropoffId	Sends every contract to this drop-off	nil (random)
Config.ForceLocationId	Spawns every contract at this pickup spot	nil (random)
Locations.BlipRadius	Radius in metres of the search circle around the target car	150.0

shared/prices.lua — the first start only

This file seeds six economy values into the database the first time the resource starts (when the settings table is empty). After that, editing it does nothing — change them in the admin panel’s Settings tab.

Prices.Tools in the same file is not what the tool shop sells: the shop reads its catalogue from the admin panel’s Market tab.

---

The admin panel

/boostingconfig opens it on Locations. Add a tab to open it somewhere else: locations, dropoffs, classes, vehicles, setups, progression, minigames, market or settings — for example /boostingconfig classes.

Tab	What you manage there
Locations	Pickup spots: a car position and four guard positions each, the allowed classes and the guard setup per class. Teleport, reorder, edit, delete, or place a new one in the world
Drop-Offs	Where cars are delivered. Place new ones in the world, teleport, delete
Classes	Everything per class (table below)
Vehicles	The car pool each class draws its targets from
NPC Setups	Named guard loadouts and their weapons
Progression	Challenges, milestones, achievements and perks
Minigames	Each minigame, its difficulty settings, on/off, and which classes use it
Market	The tool shop: items and buffs, price, currency (MB or cash), value, minimum class, on/off
Settings	Economy, heat, the Tools tab and the drop-off marker

Placing in the world. New spots and drop-offs are placed with a ghost: E confirms, the mouse wheel rotates, Backspace aborts. A pickup spot is the car first, then four guards, then a name.

Classes

Six ship: D, C, B, A, S and S+.

Setting	What it does
Label, minimum level	The name shown and the level needed to take it (D 0, C 3, B 6, A 10, S 15, S+ 20)
XP range, payout range	What a delivered car gives, rolled between the two values
Time limit	Minutes to deliver
Cooldown	Seconds before the same player can take another
Queue min / max	How long the queue takes to find a contract
Daily limits	Contracts per player and per crew per day (0 = unlimited)
Max lockpick attempts	Tries before the lock gives up
Police alert	Whether police get a dispatch alert for this class
Heat gain	Heat added per job
Min police online	Police needed online to join or accept. Ships at 2 for every class
Wanted stars	Wanted level given to the thief once the car is open (D 1 … S+ 5)

Settings

Setting	What it does	Shipped value
VIN Scratch Multiplier	The VIN-scratch fee is 35% of the payout × this value, paid in MB	4.0
XP per Level	XP needed for the next level = level × this value	500
Heat Decay per Minute	Heat removed every minute from players who are online	2
Max Heat	At this heat, contracts are refused until it cools	100
Hide Locked Items	Hides tool-shop items above the player’s class	Off
Dropoff marker	On/off, marker type, colour (RGBA) and size	On, type 2, red
Queue Fee, Crypto Rate	Listed in the panel. In this version joining the queue is free and a delivery credits its full payout in MB	0, 0.10

Starting over

boostingseed, typed in the server console, wipes the configuration tables and puts the shipped defaults back. Player data — profiles, levels, MB, crews, contracts, market listings — is not touched.

---

Languages

Eleven ship in locales/: en, es, fr, pt (Brazilian), de, tr, it, nl, pl, cs, ru. Set Config.Locale to one of them. A key missing from a language falls back to English.

To add one:

1. Copy locales/en.lua to locales/<code>.lua and change the language code at the top of the table.
2. Translate the values in both halves: script (notifications — keep %s and %d) and ui (the tablet — keep the {name} placeholders). date.intl_locale sets the date format on the lock screen.
3. Add the file to shared_scripts in fxmanifest.lua, after locales/en.lua, then refresh.
4. Set Config.Locale to the new code.

The bridge

Both bridge files are open, and they are where a custom framework, inventory, notification or dispatch gets plugged in.

bridge/server_bridge.lua

Function	What it is for
Framework detection	Picks qbcore, esx or standalone and prints it
GetPlayerIdentifier	citizenid on QBCore, identifier on ESX, license: on standalone
GetPlayerJob, GetPoliceCount	Job names, and how many players hold a job in Config.PoliceJobs
AddMoney, RemoveMoney	Cash rewards and cash purchases use the money account
AddItem, RemoveItem, HasItem	ox_inventory first when it is running, otherwise the framework
RegisterUsableItem	Makes the tablet item usable (ESX and QBCore; nothing on standalone)
GiveVehicle	Puts a VIN-scratched car in the garage: owned_vehicles on ESX, player_vehicles in pillboxgarage on QBCore
IsAdmin	The ACE, then Config.AdminGroups
Notify	Framework notification from the server

bridge/client_bridge.lua

Function	What it is for
Notify	QBCore or ESX notification, native feed on standalone
ShowTextUI, HideTextUI	The prompt in drawtext mode. Commented examples for okokTextUI and cd_drawtextui
ClientHasItem	Client item check, used by the EMP option on the car
AddEntityInteraction, RemoveEntityInteraction	ox_target / qb-target / drawtext on the car
PoliceDispatch	Runs on each police client when an alert fires. Default: a notification and a flashing blip for 60 seconds. Commented examples for cd_dispatch and ps-dispatch

Most notifications a player sees come from inside the tablet as its own toasts, not through the framework.
