Installation
JG HandlingPurchase on the JG store
Download & unzip
Unzip the jg-handling-bundle and open it.
Add the resource to your server
Drag the script folder (jg-handling) into a new folder called [jg] within your server's resources folder.
Install dependencies
Make sure you have the latest versions of ox_lib & oxmysql installed on your server.
Update your server.cfg
Inside of your server.cfg, add a new line after all your other resources have started:
ensure [jg]Configure the script
Inside the config folder, config.lua is the core configuration - most integrations are detected automatically, including framework (optional) and notifications. You'll mainly be adjusting the script's functionality, such as the job lock and timing tool features.
Exporting your changes
Use Preview while adjusting a vehicle. Preview applies the changes for testing, but does not save them to the vehicle resource or database.
When the handling is ready for your production server, select Export, choose handling.meta (XML) and copy the exported XML. Open the existing handling.meta inside the vehicle resource and make a backup before editing it.
If the file contains more than one vehicle, find the existing <Item type="CHandlingData"> block with the same <handlingName> as the exported data. Replace that block only, then save the file and restart the vehicle resource.
Do not use Apply Handling as the main setup for a fleet. It can save an override for one plate or every vehicle of the same model in the database, but this does not update the vehicle resource. Plate overrides must be managed per vehicle, while model overrides are stored separately from the resource. Replacing the matching data in handling.meta keeps the base handling with the vehicle and applies it to every vehicle that uses that handlingName.
See Exporting Your Changes for the full export steps and JG Mechanic tuning config options.
Troubleshooting
JG Handling tries to automatically make the required database changes. In some cases, this automatic installation fails and you need to make the changes manually.
Head into the install folder within jg-handling. Run the database.sql file within your database software (such as PhpMyAdmin or HeidiSQL).
If you get an error along the lines of cannot use the syntax IF NOT EXISTS, remove every instance of IF NOT EXISTS from the database.sql file and re-run it. It will still run fine.
Make sure you're running this SQL code within the correct database - triple-check and cross-reference the name of the database!
