INSTALLATION GUIDE

Step 0 - First Steps

1. Download your resource from FiveM’s Keymaster.
2. Unzip the cd_playerhud.zip folder and place this folder in your server's resource folder.
3. Add the resource to your server start config (server.cfg): ensure cd_playerhud. If you are using a framework, it must be placed anywhere below your framework resource e.g., es_extended, not above.
ensure es_extended
ensure cd_playerhud
​

Step 1 - Fxmanifest

Depending on your framework and dependencies, you may need to make some changes inside the [cd_playerhud/fxmanifest.lua]. We have made this easier by commenting on the lines you possibly need to change.
​

Step 2 - Configure Resource

You MUST read all configurable options inside the [cd_playerhud/configs/config.lua] file and configure them to suit your server's needs. Please read the ”commented out help text” at the end of each line so you can understand what each config option does.
The most important sections are the options under the Framework and Important sections at the top of the config.lua. Everything else is optional.
​

Step 3 - SQL Database

You MUST import the SQL file to your database. This SQL file is located inside theREAD_ME_AFTER_PURCHASING folder; the file is named SQL_main.sql. Watch this video if you are unsure how to do this HeidiSQL / PHPMyAdmin.
​

Step 4 - Configure Key Binds

Before starting this resource on your main/live server, we highly advise configuring your key binds because this resource uses Fivem's Key Mapping.
​
Where can I configure my key binds?
You can configure key binds in the Keys and Commands section near the bottom of the [cd_playerhud/configs/config.lua].
​
Why do I need to do this?
Well long story short;- once a player has joined your server with this resource running you can no longer force change their key binds for this resource through the config.lua, only they can change it in the in-game pause menu settings. Although it will change for the players who join after you have changed it.
​
The benefit of this system is that it's much more optimised and players can easily change their key binds on keyboards or controllers. You can also check out the Default Keybinds for this resource.
​

Step 4 - Basic Needs & Status

ESX
QBCore
vRP
No-framework
Other (custom framework)
Note: In version 3.1.0+ esx_basicneeds and esx_status are not compatible. You must remove these resources as everything you need is built into cd_playerhud.

Basic Needs

Do you want to use the built-in basic needs system (hunger & thirst)?

No? Then set the Config.BasicNeeds.ENABLE in the config.lua to false.
Yes? Then set the Config.BasicNeeds.ENABLE in the config.lua to true and configure the Config.BasicNeeds config options. You must also add your usable food & drink items to the Config.BasicNeeds.Items config table.
​

Do you want to save hunger & thirst in the database?

No? Then set the Config.BasicNeeds.save_in_database in the config.lua to false.
Yes? Then set the Config.BasicNeeds.save_in_database in the config.lua to true and import the SQL file which is located inside theREAD_ME_AFTER_PURCHASING folder, the file is named SQL_main.sql. Watch this video if you are unsure how to do this HeidiSQL / PHPMyAdmin.
​

Stress

Do you want to use the built-in stress system?

No? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to false.
Yes? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to true and configure the Config.Stress config options.
​

Do you want to save stress in the database?

No? Then set the Config.Stress.save_in_database in the config.lua to false.
Yes? Then set the Config.Stress.save_in_database in the config.lua to true and import the SQL file which is located inside theREAD_ME_AFTER_PURCHASING folder, the file is named SQL_main.sql. Watch this video if you are unsure how to do this HeidiSQL / PHPMyAdmin.

Basic Needs

We DO NOT recommend you use the built-in basic needs (hunger & thirst) system in cd_playerhud. Instead, we recommend you use the basic needs (hunger & thirst) system built into the QBCore base.
Note: Yes, you can remove the default QBCore hud script, as we don't need that; the framework handles the basic needs system, not the hud script.
So set the Config.BasicNeeds.ENABLE in the config.lua to false. You do not need to make any additional changes; it comes pre-configured to use the QBCore basic needs (hunger & thirst) metadata.
​

Stress

Do you want to use the built-in stress system?

No? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to false.
Yes? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to true and configure the Config.Stress config options.
​

Do you want to save stress in the database?

We recommend enabling this option as this comes pre-configured to save the data to the QBCore metadata.
So set the Config.Stress.save_in_database in the config.lua to true.
​
Disclaimer: When we recommend something, this does not mean these things are impossible; we say this as we recommend the easiest installation method. If you have the knowledge you can do almost anything with this resource as it is highly versatile.

Basic Needs

We DO NOT recommend you use the built-in basic needs (hunger & thirst) system in cd_playerhud. Instead. We recommend you use the basic needs (hunger & thirst) system built into the vRP base.
So set the Config.BasicNeeds.ENABLE in the config.lua to false. You do not need to make any additional changes; it comes pre-configured to use the vRP basic needs (hunger & thirst) system.
​

Stress

Do you want to use the built-in stress system?

No? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to false.
Yes? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to true and configure the Config.Stress config options.
​

Do you want to save stress in the database?

We DO NOT recommend saving the stress in the database from cd_playerhud.
So make sure the Config.Stress.save_in_database in the config.lua to false. This is because as far as we know vRP does not by default support saving stress to the database.

Basic Needs

We DO NOT recommend you use the built-in basic needs system for cd_playerhud.
So make sure Config.BasicNeeds.ENABLE is set to false. This is because you would need a framework to have usable food & drink items.
​

Stress

Do you want to use the built-in stress system?

No? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to false.
Yes? Then set the Config.Stress.ENABLE in the config.lua to true and configure the Config.Stress config options.
​

Do you want to save stress in the database?

We DO NOT recommend saving the stress in the database from cd_playerhud.
So make sure the Config.Stress.save_in_database in the config.lua to false. This is because you would need a database to save data to the database.
We CAN NOT offer installation support when implanting this resource into your custom framework. But all of the code required to convert this resource into other frameworks is open source to you.

Create your own apps

Tips for creating Your own app screens
The position in the screens.list array determines the order of displaying the screens. Do not change screens.current unless you want a different screen to display first (screens.current goes from 0 to screens.list.length-1)
Currently, the screens.list.name value has no use; however, it is reserved for future use, such as setting options for certain apps. // The screens.list.id is the id of the element containing the app screen. It will be displayed once it is cycled.
To make your app functional you would either need to create another JavaScript file and include it through the HTML or add inline JavaScript to the index.html file itself.
To place the screen in the correct position, use the .app-screen class on your HTML element.
The existing apps are not editable; however, you can change their order if you wish.

COMMON ISSUES

Please check out our Troubleshooting Guide before contacting our support.
🔔 Folder Name Make sure the name of the folder is cd_playerhud.
🔔 Encrypted Files Do not edit the encrypted files in any way.
Money/Hunger etc is not being updated on the UI?
eg., if certain things like your hunger/thirst/stress/money are not being updated, that most likely means your framework has renamed the events.
✔️ We can not directly offer support with this, we create compatibility for default versions of frameworks. But what you need to do is change the event names in the client_customise_me.lua to the ones that currently work for your framework.
​

ERROR CODES

If you see an error code not listed below, please open a script support ticket in the Codesign Discord.
Server
Client
N/A
8846 - You are sending the wrong data in the cd_playerhud:status:set event. The first argument should be the status and the 2nd argument should be a number, refer to this for how this event should be formatted #Events.
​

CHANGELOG

Files Changed
Not every update requires you to replace the whole folder. We do this because we understand it's a pain to redo the configs for every update.
  • All Files - This means you should delete your old cd_playerhud folder, download and add in the latest version, reconfigure the configs folder and restart your server.
  • All Files Except config.lua - This means you should do all of the above (in the All Files section) but additionally make a backup of the config.lua file and replace the new config.lua file with the one you made a backup of.
  • Specific Files - This means you can copy and paste the SPECIFIC new files over the old ones and restart the server.
Update Type
On rare occasions, you are forced to update to the latest version. Mostly due to authentication updates where the old versions will no longer work.
  • Mandatory - This means you MUST update to this new version, or the old versions will no longer work.
  • Optional - This means it's completely your choice whether you wish to update to the latest version. But we do not offer support for old versions for obvious reasons; they are old.
Skipping Updates
If you are attempting to update to the latest version but have skipped previous updates, you should update all files just to be safe. For example., let's say you are currently on v4.0.1, you did not update when v4.0.2 was released, and now v4.0.3 is released, and you want to update; you should always use the “All Files” update method.
v3.0.0
4.0.0
v4.0.1
v4.0.2

26/12/2020 - 10/08/2021

v3.0.0 - v3.1.1
Files Changed:
  • All Files
  • All Files Except config.lua
  • Specific Files
Update Type:
  • Mandatory
  • Optional
Changelog:
Add
  • Added config options for framework version.
  • Added the ability to rename all esx events such as the setjob and playerloaded events.
  • Added drag-and-drop compatibility for QBCore.
  • Added 2 new files (stress and underwater_oxygen) to make them open-source and editable.
  • Added a new config option to save the hunger/thirst/stress to the database without needing to use esx_status. This is more optimized than how esx_status saves to the database as now this data is only saved when a player exits the server or switches character.
  • Added a new config option so you can choose the effect when a player's hunger/thirst is empty. By default, you can choose between slowly losing health or blurring the screen.
  • Added a new system where if the usable food/drink items are spammed, they will get added to a queue and the animations will execute one at a time
  • Added a staff command to reset a players status.
  • Added the ability to set the under water oxygen from other scripts to support diving gear etc.
  • Added support for cd_multicharacter when switching characters in game to reset the cached client side status data and re cache the new characters status data since you are able to save a characters data in the database now.
  • Added the ability for customers to make their own apps.
Edit
  • Changed disable move mode to right click instead of K.
  • Updated the codesign error handlers.
  • Allowed the stress value to be changed even tho config.stress is disabled.
  • Added the oxygen (in water) to the GetStatus() export.
  • Re-wrote and updated parts of the code.
  • Reworked the logic behind getting a players money to be far more optimized so it does not need to get the data from the server-side anymore.
Fix
  • Fixed having to re-configure the hunger/thirst alert every time you relog.
  • Fixed random server error on server start.
  • Minor bug fixes.
  • Fixed the scale locale on the UI.
  • Temporary fix for the canary issue until the new Tebex FiveM license system is ready to launch, when this is released we will be fully switching over to the new system.
