dd-cards adds a print shop — a **fabric** — to your server. A player walks up to the ped, opens the business centre, designs a card in a full canvas editor, and places an order. The order takes real time to print. When it is done they are notified, come back, and collect a sealed box. Using the box takes out one card; using a card shows it to them. Everything is priced: materials the player already carries are consumed from their inventory, anything they are short of is sold to them at a markup, and the fabric charges its own labour fee on top. ## What ships **A card designer.** Text, images, freehand drawing and six shapes (rectangle, circle, triangle, line, diamond, star), with colour control, layer ordering (send to back / bring to front), undo, redo and a full reset. Cards are named, and each player gets **five save slots** to keep designs in. **A priced order flow.** Choose paper (standard or glossy), optionally add gold foil, set the quantity, and see a live breakdown — setup fee, printing, which materials came from your own pockets versus which the shop supplied, and the total. Pay by cash or bank. **Rush processing.** Pay a surcharge on the labour to cut the wait. **Real printing time.** Orders are not instant. The default is 20 minutes, or 5 with rush, and the timer runs whether or not the player stays logged in. **Notification when it is ready.** Delivered as a phone mail through LB Phone, npwd or qb-phone if one is running, or as a plain on-screen notification if none is. **Items you can carry and give away.** A finished order becomes a `business_card_box`. Using it takes out a single `business_card`, which carries the design with it — so a player can hand their card to someone else, and that person can look at it. ## Requirements at a glance | | Supported | | ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | Framework | qbx_core (Qbox), qb-core (QBCore) | | Inventory | ox_inventory, qb-inventory | | Required | ox_lib, oxmysql | | Targeting _(optional)_ | ox_target, qb-target, or a built-in walk-up prompt | | Menu _(optional)_ | ox_lib context menu, qb-menu | | Phone _(optional)_ | lb-phone, npwd, qb-phone | Framework and inventory are chosen independently — QBCore with ox_inventory is a common and fully supported combination. See [Compatibility](/docs/dd-cards/compatibility) for the detail. ## Escrow and what stays editable dd-cards is FiveM-escrow protected. The gameplay code under `modules/` is encrypted, but the `fxmanifest.lua` declares these paths as `escrow_ignore`, so they remain **readable and editable** after purchase: ```lua escrow_ignore { 'config/**/*', 'bridge/**/*', 'types.lua', } ``` That means all three config files stay open, and so does every bridge — so you can point dd-cards at a framework, inventory, target, menu or phone it does not ship support for by copying the closest bridge file. See [Custom bridges](/docs/dd-cards/bridges), and [Escrow & editing](/docs/general/escrow) for what escrow means more generally. Because `modules/` is encrypted, the [Exports](/docs/dd-cards/exports) page documents only the two exports the shipped install instructions rely on. There is no published event API. ## Where to start Work through [Installation](/docs/dd-cards/installation) first — dependencies, start order and the database — then [Items & images](/docs/dd-cards/items) to register the six items in your inventory. After that the three configuration pages cover every option that ships.
