Server config

config/server.lua — automatic SQL install, freehand drawing, the default payment method and how players are told their order is ready.

config/server.lua holds the four options that only the server reads.

AutoInsertSql

Create the database tables automatically on start.

AutoInsertSql = true,
ValueBehaviour
truedd-cards runs install/sql/dd-cards.sql itself at boot
falseNothing is run — import the SQL yourself before starting the resource

Every statement in the file is CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS, so on a server that already has the tables this does nothing at all. It will not touch, reset or migrate existing data.

Leave it on unless your host restricts what the server user may CREATE, or you prefer to apply schema changes by hand.

Warning

With AutoInsertSql = false and the SQL not imported, the first order will fail because the tables are missing.

EnableFreehandDrawing

Whether players may draw freehand on a card.

EnableFreehandDrawing = true,

Important

This is enforced on the server, not just hidden in the UI. When false, freehand strokes are stripped from the submitted design as well, so a modified client cannot sneak them through.

DefaultPaymentMethod

Which payment option is pre-selected in the order step.

DefaultPaymentMethod = 'cash',
ValueBehaviour
'cash'Takes it from the player's pocket
'bank'Takes it from their bank balance

Players can always switch before submitting; the server charges whichever they actually chose.

Notification

How the player is told their order is ready.

Notification = {
    provider = 'auto',
    useMail = true,
    sender = 'Business Card Fabric',
},

provider

ValueBehaviour
'auto'Use whichever supported phone is running — lb-phone, then npwd, then qb-phone — and fall back to a plain ox_lib notification if none is
'lb-phone'LB Phone
'npwd'npwd, through its mail app
'qb-phone'qb-phone, through its mail app
'ox_lib'Plain on-screen notification, no phone required

useMail

Phone providers deliver a mail that stays in the inbox rather than a push notification that vanishes when dismissed.

Recommended true: an order becomes ready minutes later, while the player is busy elsewhere. Set false to get a push notification instead where the phone supports one. Ignored by the 'ox_lib' provider, which has no inbox.

sender

Name the mail appears to come from. Defaults to 'Business Card Fabric'.

Offline players

qb-phone and npwd address mail by citizenid, so a mail sent while the player is offline is written straight to their inbox and is waiting at their next login.

lb-phone addresses by phone number, which only exists for a live session, so it cannot deliver to an offline player.

Either way the order finishes on time and waits for them in the Orders menu — the notification is a convenience, not the delivery mechanism.
