SERVER.LUA How to use the included server.lua with BigDaddy Scripts to set up framework integration for money functions
¶ INSTALLATION
Open the downloaded ZIP product file and drop the folder in it somewhere in your resources folder. Add your product key (get it here) to the settings.ini file and add start BigDaddy-Trains to your server.cfg.
DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER.
If you change the name of the folder it will not function correctly so leave the name as it is.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ
This script uses the gta5.meta replace function. You can only use this once per server or they will overwrite each other. If you have other resources using this function (it's becoming more common in some big MLOs now) you will need to combine the changes in all gta5.meta files from all resources using it and put them into one file and load it once.
¶ CONFIGURATION
Here is how to setup the script for success. When you contact us for support be sure to mention GET BIT so we know you've read this.
¶ Money Setup
See the server.lua file and make sure you have the money framework selected that you use or enter "custom" for the framework to bypass. There are options for NAT (old and new version), QBCore, ESX, ND, BigDaddy... and if you have another framework there is a spot to put your own implementation. We will not do that for you, that will be up to you and your devs.

AI DRIVEN OR PLAYER DRIVEN... not both
if you set allowDriving=true in the config, the AI spawned trains will not spawn. You cannot have AI spanwed and Player spawned turned on at the same time for obvious reasons.
¶ HOW TO PLAY
¶ Spawning & Driving
Get near track you want the train to be on... be aware that trains will spawn on any track even if it is the wrong track for that train. Some tracks in the game are not complete tracks and the train will drive on them but can and will do some crazy things.
¶ Commands
/train freight spawn freight train to drive
/train metro spawn metro train to drive
/train passenger spawn passenger train to drive
/train # # = the index of the train you want to spawn
/deletetrain delete train that you have spawned (be nice, don't leave your toys out)
/derail this will derail your train (if you are moving) which causes it to go all wonky and stop in a shower of sparks. It is not driveable after this happens. It will be there until you delete it.
[spacebar] pressing the [spacebar] while the train is moving activates the emergency brake. The train will lock up and come to a stop in a shower of sparks. Once stopped, you can begin to go again.
Fast Driving
If the train is going too fast around a corner or even on a straight, there is a change it will derail.
Derail and Emergency Brake
When the train comes to a stop with sparks, there is a chance it will catch fire.
¶ Controls
The UP arrow and DOWN arrow increase and decrease the throttle while driving. [F] will get you out of the train while it's stopped. [F] will put you back into the train if you are out. NUMPAD4 opens the leftside doors (sometimes this is reversed on same models) and NUMPAD6 opens the rightside doors (sometimes this is reversed on same models) to the metro/passenger train while stopped.
¶ Metros and Buying Tickets
The AI driven trains spawn via the game engine based on where players are on the map. If you have the map blips turned on, the brighter red Ms on the map are where working ticket machines are located. The red and black machines work but the blue and green machines do not.
¶ Passenger Trains & Making Money Driving
If you spawn a passenger train and drive it around the map... when you stop and open the doors, players can go into the door and will be seated on the train and a payment will be made from that player to the driver of the train (money framework must be enabled for that to happen). The amount is set in the settings.ini file for passengerTicketPrice. Pressing [F] as the passenger when the train is stopped will allow you to get off of the train.
¶ ONESYNC ISSUES
The fact that onesync hates trains is very well known and I've mentioned it so many times along the way. If you use the AI spawned trains they WILL work... and you WILL have onesync mess with them. What you can expect: the more people you have on and the more often the trains spawn, the more the despawn will get desynced. That means it will despawn part of the train instead of all of it and leave orphan cars left behind. Sometimes the script can clean these up and sometimes the client doesn't even know they are there so they can't be removed. They have no collision to other trains so you'll go right through them but they are there, sometimes moving around. The metro trains will hang around and honk that annoying horn when they get desynced. If you have a lot of people on it can get very annoying. I put this here so you will know that it will happen and so far no one has ever figured out a fix. I've got them working as well as I've ever seen them work but there are still some issues.
¶ EDITING CONSISTS
¶ Question: Can you edit the trains.xml file and change the train layouts? Yes.
I have made that as easy as I can for you but please read below before deciding to do it.
If you do not know how the trains.xml file works, don't edit it. I know you will anyway, so read on. If you choose to edit the file make a backup of the original because if you edit the file and your script crashes or stops working, we WILL NOT SUPPORT the script if you have made changes to the xml file and broke it.
¶ Question: Can there be more than 10 cars? NO
OneSync says no to that. You can put as many as you want but 10 or less will be seen by everyone but you and the train will freak out on other player's screens. Sometimes they will see more than 10 but they will be glitched out and tornado and do all kinds of crazy things. 10 cars always works, more never works correctly. We tried it. You've been warned.
¶ Question: Can we use our own custom train models? NO
The only train models that will work with this version of the script is the Overhauled Trains that is included with it. Anything else will crash the script.
¶ Question: Can we change/customize the liveries on the trains? YES
Please do what you want to the trains included. I've done IRL liveries for some of the models or you can revert them to the basic lore friendly versions that were there originally or you can create your own. The templates are included to skin them to your heart's content. In fact, come to the discord and post screenshots in the screenshots channel. I'd love to see them.
