more cw racing updates! We love to see it. Solid work, as always.

[molten mist]

wooo racing

[empty imp]

Would be cool to see this replace qb-racing or w/e in the qbox recipe

does this support qbox natively

[kindred tapir]

It should yeah. QB for some core stuff (which qbox covers) and OX for others. Many qbox users have said it's working well.

If Qbox team want to use this as their base racing script that'd be neat 👍 Could set up the default config to be set up for QBOX rather than the random mess that it's now 😅

[empty imp]

Yeah I've been following progress on this since 1.0, and it's nice to see how far you've gotten with it. @buoyant pier I think it would be cool to get something going with this for native qbox support/inclusion in the recipe.

the current base lap races resources is bad to say the least.

[buoyant pier]

We could explore adding it to the recipe. To do so, it would need to first work without relying on the QB bridge.

[kindred tapir]

All QB-related stuff is handled in the bridge files functions.luaon client and server side

So adding QBox specific ones wouldn't be to hard

[buoyant pier]

These are the quality control standards for Qbox repos. https://docs.qbox.re/release While we wouldn't hold a third party resource to the same standard, it does need to be a generally high quality product without major bugs, exploits, or performance issues. We'd also need it to be versioned with a GitHub release (you can steal release code from xt-prison which recently had to do the same thing).

[kindred tapir]

Resource is scoped appropriately (i.e. it shouldn't be split, or combined with another resource).

Might be a problem since it uses cw-performance to do classes based on performance

[buoyant pier]

Dependencies are fine, but then we'd need to evaluate the dependency on the same standards. That line is referring to whether it's appropriate that cw-performance be a separate resource, or if they should be combined.

[kindred tapir]

I use it for several other scripts i've released so not really a good one to merge inte cw-racingapp which is quite big

I got an update that'll be modifying/changing the database structure a bit so I'll take a look at getting the release stuff added after that's done

so people wont need to update after having added it

[ashen elk]

@kindred tapir a few pointers would be to look at using more of the ox_lib provided stuff such as lib.print, lib.table.deepclone, and lib.callback .
Also a good idea especially for multi framework resources would be to create a bridge folder with global functions on the client and server side to replace your conditionals, something like https://github.com/Randolio/randol_pizzajob/tree/main/bridge is a good example.
One additional thing to look at is extracting your sql calls out into a separate storage layer so they are easier to evaluate. Also adding type notations while not enforced in lua they are a good sanity check in your ide.
Another good read is Manason's book on FiveM Lua best practices https://manason.github.io/effective-fivem-lua/.
If you want to start a thread in the advanced support I'd be more than happy to help you with refactoring and answering questions.

[kindred tapir]

Sure. let's take this discussion over to a thread

[empty imp]

If anyone has issues, creating their first user for me:

/createracinguser god 1 IReadTheReadme

was

/createracinguser 1 god IReadTheReadme

As mentioned in the readme

Hey Coffeelot, is there a way to have players just have a "default" account when open the tablet? It's not huge, but players seem to get confused with the account creation aspect. Just a small QOL thing.

[empty imp]

like just having this prompt the first time a player opens the tablet, that's been the only feedback from my players other than confusion after making a crew. They said it was a really good racing experience.

[kindred tapir]

It's a thing I've been planning to add yeah.

Mostly because I want to make it so that when theres 0 race users in the database, the first one to be created will be a god user. Because the command is so weird and I can't figure out why

After that, the "You don't have an account" will be replaced with "Create an account" if your user don't have a racer

I kinda wanna ditch the traders anyway

[ashen elk]

probably easier to just make the "god" account tied to an ace perm

[empty imp]

Yeah my players were totally confused by the process, had to walk them through it. But they were really impressed by the tablet/everything else. Thanks for working on this so long.

[empty imp]

Hey Coffelot, would it be possible to "center" the tablet and the racing information? I assume some people want them there, so would you know where I edit the values?

[kindred tapir]

I thought the tablet was centered serves me right for just testing some screen sizes.
Update coming.

As for race hud:
No. There won't be a centered version. I'd have to make a new variant (the current one is dynamic between the right/split/left layout) and maintain that also. Not looking to double my future work 😅

[empty imp]

Was just asking for location of where to edit myself

Want to give it a background + move it down

[kindred tapir]

Ahh, it'll be in RaceHud.vue

[empty imp]

Any specific value? Was trying to figure it out last night

[kindred tapir]

Ah no, like a complete rewrite of the html and css will be needed to center it, if you aim to make it look decent 😅

[empty imp]

I just want to move it down, since I have info top right

and white on white is hard to see, I'd add a stroke to the text if I could

[kindred tapir]

Ahh

Hmm

.race class in RaceHud.vue. Change top: 5vh to bottom 5vh or whatever other spacing you want

might fix that

[empty imp]

sure that would be awesome, even if it was just centered to the right it would be good, idk if that would would conflict with other users.

[kindred tapir]

Ahh I mean doing that might fix it hahaha. It's not a planned feature

[empty imp]

would I need to rebuild it? Doesn't seem to change anything.

if I just edit that

[empty imp]

ok yeah that was it
