Installation Advanced Detailed

This guide will walk you through the complete installation process of the God-Impound system on your FiveM server.

📦 Prerequisites

Before starting the installation, make sure you have:

• ✅ FiveM server with admin access

• ✅ ox_lib installed and running

• ✅ oxmysql installed and configured

• ✅ screenshot-basic resource installed

• ✅ ESX, QBCore, or Qbox framework installed

• ✅ ox_inventory or qb-inventory installed

📥 Step 1: Download and Extract

1. Download the God-Impound script from your purchase

2. Extract the God-Impound folder to your server's resources directory

3. Ensure the folder structure looks like this:

   resources/
   └── God-Impound/
       ├── client/
       ├── server/
       ├── shared/
       ├── html/
       ├── install me/
       └── fxmanifest.lua

🗄️ Step 2: Database Setup

1. Open your database management tool (phpMyAdmin, HeidiSQL, etc.)

2. Select your FiveM database

3. Open the SQL file located at: God-Impound/install me/runme.sql

4. Execute the SQL query to create the impound_vehicles table

The SQL will create a table with the following structure:

• plate (varchar) - Vehicle plate number

• image (text) - Proof image URL

• polname (text) - Officer name who impounded

• impoundDays (int) - Number of days impounded

• lawId (int) - Law violation ID

• impoundUntil (datetime) - Release date and time

⚙️ Step 3: Framework Configuration

For QBCore/Qbox Users:

1. Open God-Impound/shared/config.lua

2. Set the framework:

   J0.Core = "QBCore"  -- or "Qbox"

3. Set your police job name:

   J0.PolJobName = "police"  -- Change if your police job has a different name

For ESX Users:

1. Open God-Impound/shared/config.lua

2. Set the framework:

   J0.Core = "ESX"

3. Set your police job name:

   J0.PolJobName = "police"  -- Change if your police job has a different name

📷 Step 4: Camera Item Setup

The script requires a camera item in your inventory system. Follow the instructions for your inventory:

For ox_inventory:

1. Copy the camera icon:

   • Source: God-Impound/install me/icons/camera.png

   • Destination: ox_inventory/web/images/camera.png

2. Add the item to ox_inventory/data/items.lua:

   ['jomidarcam'] = {
       label = 'Camera',
       weight = 1000,
       client = {
           image = 'camera.png',
           export = 'God-Impound.useCam'
       },
   },

For qb-inventory:

1. Copy the camera icon:

   • Source: God-Impound/install me/icons/camera.png

   • Destination: qb-inventory/html/images/camera.png

2. Add the item to qb-core/shared/items.lua:

   jomidarcam = {
       name = 'jomidarcam',
       label = 'Camera',
       weight = 1000,
       type = 'item',
       image = 'camera.png',
       unique = true,
       useable = true,
       shouldClose = true,
       combinable = nil,
       description = 'Camera'
   },

🔗 Step 5: Image Logging Setup

Configure image logging for proof photos:

Option 1: Discord Webhook (Recommended)

1. Create a Discord webhook in your Discord server

2. Open God-Impound/shared/config.lua

3. Set the service:

   J0.ImageLogService = "DC"

4. Add your webhook URL:

   J0.ImageLogs = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL"

Option 2: FivemManage API

1. Get your FivemManage API key

2. Open God-Impound/shared/config.lua

3. Set the service:

   J0.ImageLogService = "FM"

4. Add your API key:

   J0.ImageLogs = "YOUR_API_KEY"

📍 Step 6: Configure Locations

1. Open God-Impound/shared/config.lua

2. Set the impound ped location:

   J0.ImpoundPedCoords = vector4(395.17, -1629.32, 28.29, 62.32)

   • Format: vector4(x, y, z, heading)

   • Use /tp command in-game to find coordinates

3. Configure vehicle spawn points:

   J0.VehicleSpawnCoords = {
       {id = 1, x = 401.35, y = -1618.97, z = 28.29, rotation = 48.01},
       {id = 2, x = 403.45, y = -1617.11, z = 28.29, rotation = 58.05}
   }

   • Add more spawn points by adding more entries

   • Vehicles will spawn at random locations from this list

🎯 Step 7: Customize Laws (Optional)

You can customize the impound laws in God-Impound/shared/config.lua:

J0.Laws = {
    {id = 1, title = "Inoperable on a scene", description = "Vehicle found on scene in an inoperable state."},
    {id = 2, title = "Unpaid Asset Fees", description = "This vehicle has been flagged as they have not paid their asset fees."},
    -- Add more laws as needed
}

🚀 Step 8: Start the Resource

1. Add the resource to your server.cfg:

   ensure ox_lib
   ensure oxmysql
   ensure screenshot-basic
   ensure God-Impound

2. Restart your server or start the resource:

   restart God-Impound

✅ Step 9: Verification

After installation, verify everything is working:

1. Check Console: Look for any errors in the server console

2. Test Commands:

   • /impound - Should open the impound menu (police only)

   • /camerasshow - Should open the camera (police only)

3. Check Ped: Visit the impound location and verify the NPC ped is spawned

4. Test Impound: Try impounding a vehicle to ensure the system works

🔧 Troubleshooting

Resource won't start

• Check that all dependencies (ox_lib, oxmysql) are installed

• Verify fxmanifest.lua is correct

• Check server console for specific errors

Camera not working

• Ensure screenshot-basic is installed and started

• Verify camera item is added to inventory correctly

• Check image logging configuration

Database errors

• Verify SQL was executed correctly

• Check database connection in oxmysql

• Ensure table impound_vehicles exists

Framework errors

• Double-check J0.Core setting in config.lua

• Verify framework resource name matches (qb-core, es_extended, etc.)

• Check that framework is started before God-Impound

📝 Next Steps

After successful installation:

1. Read the Configuration Guide to customize settings

2. Review available Commands

3. Check the FAQ for common questions
