This page documents the Config options for Trase_Gangs (see config.lua), what they do, and how to modify them safely.
Quick tip: always make a backup of config.lua before making changes in production.

​
Top-level settings

  • Config.Language (string)
    • Default: 'en'
    • Which locale file to use from locales/ (e.g., en.lua, fr.lua if present). Change to match your supported language.
  • Config.Debug (boolean)
    • Default: false
    • When true the resource prints verbose debug messages to the server console. Useful while setting up or diagnosing issues.
  • Config.InteractionType (string)
    • Default: 'ox_lib'
    • Set which interaction system the client uses. Supported values: ox_lib or ox_target (choose whichever you have installed).
  • Config.Framework (string)
    • Default: 'auto'
    • Auto-detects supported frameworks (ESX / QBCore / QBox / Standalone). Change only if you want to explicitly set the framework (e.g. 'ESX' or 'QBCore').

​
Commands (Config.Commands)

These are the chat/console commands users and admins can call. Change keys to customize command names:
  • GangManage — default gangmanage (opens gang management UI for users in a gang)
  • ServerManagement — default gangs (admin-only server management UI)
  • GangLeaderboard — default gangleaderboard (opens leaderboard UI)
Example: to change the leaderboard command to /leaderboard, edit: 
Config.Commands.GangLeaderboard = 'leaderboard'

​
Handler config (Config.Handler)

Controls core gang handling and defaults.
  • DefaultMaxMembers (number) — default 10
    • Default maximum members for newly-created gangs.
  • DefaultMaxRanks (number) — default 5
    • Default rank slots created for new gangs.
  • InviteExpiryTime (number) — default 3600 (seconds)
    • How long invites remain valid before expiring (seconds).
  • ReputationEnabled (boolean) — default true
    • Toggle reputation system.
  • ReputationRewards (table)
    • Numeric reputation rewards for various victory types (Turf, Drugzone, GangWar). Example:
    ReputationRewards = { TurfWin = 100, DrugzoneWin = 75, GangWarWin = 150 }
  • UnlocksEnabled (boolean) — default true
    • Allow gangs to purchase unlocks (e.g., storage upgrades, member slots).
  • Unlocks (table) — a map of unlock keys to cost and label, e.g.: 
    Unlocks = {
  storage_upgrade_1 = { cost = 500, label = 'Storage Upgrade Tier 1' },
  member_slots_1 = { cost = 750, label = '+5 Member Slots' },
}
Adjust costs/labels based on your economy.

​
Features (Config.Features)

Each feature block toggles subsystems and config options.

​
Drugzones

  • Enabled (boolean) — Enable the drugzone game type.
  • Duration (seconds) — How long a drugzone event runs.
  • WinningPoints (number) — Points needed for a win.
  • PointsPerSecond (number) — Points accumulated per second when in control.
  • MarkerType (number) & MarkerColor (table) — Visual markers.
  • Zones (table) — Named zones that include coords (vector3/vec3), radius, optional NPC spawn data, and KillRewards table.
Example zone config snippet in config.lua: 
Zones = {
  ['Testing Zone'] = {
    coords = vector3(398.6851, -1996.0840, 22.1991),
    radius = 50.0,
    NPC = { model = 's_m_m_chemsec_01', coords = vector4(...), scenario = 'WORLD_HUMAN_GUARD_PATROL' },
    KillRewards = { Enabled = true, Rewards = { [1] = {label='First Kill', rewards = {['money'] = 5000}} } }
  }
}

​
Turfs

  • Enabled (boolean) — Enable turf zones.
  • Duration (seconds) — How long the turf capture takes.
  • Zones — Similar to Drugzones, zones for turfs.
  • KillRewards — Optional kill-based reward tiers.

​
GangWars

  • Enabled (boolean) — Enable gang-wars subsystem.
  • KillFeed (boolean) — Show kill feed related to wars.
  • MinWager / MaxWager — Min/max betting values for wagers between gangs.
  • TargetKills — Kills required to win a gang war.

​
Leaderboards

  • Enabled (boolean) — Toggle leaderboard systems (server UI & NUI support).

​
UI (Config.UI)

Controls the NUI appearance and colors. Example values are hex color strings used across the web UI.
  • Colors — A table of color keys used in the front-end (bg_dark, bg_panel, accent, danger, text_primary, border etc.). Edit them to theme the UI. Example:
Config.UI.Colors.accent = '#3b82f6'
Tip: You can replace the color palette to quickly switch the theme (a red theme example is included as commented-out code in config.lua).

​
Notes / Safety

  • Changing DefaultMaxMembers/DefaultMaxRanks affects newly created gangs only; existing gangs keep their saved values in the DB.
  • If you disable a feature (e.g., Config.Features.Drugzones.Enabled = false) the module won’t be loaded at startup.
  • Always restart the resource after making changes to config.lua for them to apply.
If you’d like I can convert this into inline comments inside config.lua or add a sample server.cfg snippet in a separate EXTRA.md file. Want me to add either?
