Upload the SQL

Do not rename your previous SQL or columns to adapt them to this system, use the complete database without making use of edits in your old databases.

ESX

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `brutal_gangs` (
  `job` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `label` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `level` int(11) DEFAULT 0,
  `datas` longtext DEFAULT NULL,
  `vehicles` longtext DEFAULT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY `job` (`job`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_general_ci;

ALTER TABLE `users` 
ADD COLUMN `gang_rank` text NULL DEFAULT NULL,
ADD COLUMN `last_gang` text NULL DEFAULT NULL;

QBCORE

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `brutal_gangs` (
  `job` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  `label` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
  `level` int(11) DEFAULT 0,
  `datas` longtext DEFAULT NULL,
  `vehicles` longtext DEFAULT NULL,
  UNIQUE KEY `job` (`job`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_general_ci;

ALTER TABLE `players` 
ADD COLUMN `gang_rank` text NULL DEFAULT NULL,
ADD COLUMN `last_gang` text NULL DEFAULT NULL;

Upload the items

If you don't have the items integrated correctly, you will receive random errors.

Check that you don't have duplicate items in your inventory or database before integrating them, otherwise you might have some errors.

This asset depends on certain items for its operation, so don't forget to integrate all items correctly into your database or inventory system, depending on how you use your server.

If your inventory is not among the following, you can create the file yourself using the examples of each item by displaying any of the following tabs.

Items for esx_inventory

INSERT INTO `items` (`name`, `label`, `weight`, `rare`, `can_remove`) VALUES
('spraycan', 'Spray Can', 1, 0, 1),
('sprayremover', 'Spray Remover', 1, 0, 1),

Items for qb-inventory

['spraycan'] 			 		 = {['name'] = 'spraycan', 						['label'] = 'Spray Can', 						['weight'] = 1, 		['type'] = 'item', 		['image'] = 'spraycan.png', 				['unique'] = false, 	['useable'] = false, 	['shouldClose'] = true,	   ['combinable'] = nil,   ['description'] = ''},
['sprayremover'] 			 			 = {['name'] = 'sprayremover', 							['label'] = 'Spray Remover', 						['weight'] = 1, 		['type'] = 'item', 		['image'] = 'sprayremover.png', 				['unique'] = false, 	['useable'] = false, 	['shouldClose'] = true,	   ['combinable'] = nil,   ['description'] = ''},

Items for qs-inventory

["spraycan"] = {
    ["name"] = "spraycan",
    ["label"] = "Spray Can",
    ["weight"] = 10,
    ["type"] = "item",
    ["image"] = "spraycan.png",
    ["unique"] = false,
    ["useable"] = false,
    ["shouldClose"] = true,
    ["combinable"] = nil,
    ["description"] = "Not have"
},

["sprayremover"] = {
    ["name"] = "sprayremover",
    ["label"] = "Spray Remover",
    ["weight"] = 10,
    ["type"] = "item",
    ["image"] = "sprayremover.png",
    ["unique"] = false,
    ["useable"] = false,
    ["shouldClose"] = true,
    ["combinable"] = nil,
    ["description"] = "Not have"
},

Items for ox-inventory

["spraycan"] = {
    label = "Spray Can",
    weight = 1,
    stack = true,
    close = false,
},

["sprayremover"] = {
    label = "Spray Remover",
    weight = 1,
    stack = true,
    close = false,
},

Asset positioning

Correctly position the assets in the server.cfg by following this step, if something goes wrong you will probably get errors about exports not found, do not skip this step!

-- First we will start the cores, never below
ensure es_extended or qb-core

-- The Notify / TextUI or target system / Progressbar / Inventory / Billing have to be above our asset
ensure [notify]
ensure [inventory]
ensure [billing]
ensure [textui] -- or target system 

-- Start the Brutal Gangs at the end
ensure brutal_gangs

---

Setting up the Webhook

If you want to use the opportunnities which can be given by a webhook then you will have to set it up in our assets. You can do it by changeing a value to your discord webhook in the sv-utils.lua file.

sv-utils.lua

Discord Webhook

---

Setting the loaded event

If you are using a multicharacter system then this step is really important to make our script working propetly! If you don't use any or the loaded event is the same as the basic core one then you are done with this step.

In the client-core.lua file go to the LoadedEvent variable and if you are using a different event then paste there your event which is used on your server.

client-core.lua

---

Checking the Config file

Please make sure that you go through the whole file during the installation and check everything. It is one of the most important things as if you miss this step the script might won't work propetly.

Most important steps

The most important things always at the top of the config so pay the most attencion to these elements.

Setting the Core

Set your server's core wether it's using es_extended or qb-core, other cores aren't supported .

Setting the Notify

If you are using the Brutal Notify then it is good news, you don't have to do anything. If you aren't then set the BrutalNotify value to false in the config and set up your own notify in the cl-utils.lua

Setting the TextUI or Target

Set the TextUI from the options which are commented out. If your server using an other TextUI it is not a problem, you can set it up in the cl-utils.lua. If you want to use a target system then set the TextUI to false and set your target.

Setting up the core

To use this script you will have to make some changes in your core. These steps have to be done to make our asset work 100%.

ESX

You have to use minimum the es_extended v1.7.5

If you have an older version you will have to create the gangs in the sql and you wont be able to use the editgangs panel!

createJob.lua

• Navigate to esx_extended/server/modules and import the createJob.lua file as you can see it on the image (even if the file is already there, you have to overwrite it):

If the 'modules' folder is not there you have to create it for yourself and then put the createJob.lua file inside of it!

• Then open up the esx_extended/fxmanifest.lua file and add this line as you can see it on the image:

'server/modules/createJob.lua',

QBCORE

• Navigate to qb-core/server/commands.lua and replace this command as you can see it on the image:

qb-core/server/commands.lua

QBCore.Commands.Add('setgang', Lang:t('command.setgang.help'), { { name = Lang:t('command.setgang.params.id.name'), help = Lang:t('command.setgang.params.id.help') }, { name = Lang:t('command.setgang.params.gang.name'), help = Lang:t('command.setgang.params.gang.help') }, { name = Lang:t('command.setgang.params.grade.name'), help = Lang:t('command.setgang.params.grade.help') } }, true, function(source, args)
    local Player = QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer(tonumber(args[1]))
    if Player then
        local newGang = {name = tostring(args[2]):lower()}
        local lastGang = json.encode(Player.PlayerData.gang)

        gang = tostring(args[2]):lower()
        grade = tostring(tonumber(args[3])) or '0'
        if not QBCore.Shared.Gangs[gang] then return false end
        Player.PlayerData.gang.name = gang
        Player.PlayerData.gang.label = QBCore.Shared.Gangs[gang].label
        if QBCore.Shared.Gangs[gang].grades[grade] then
            local ganggrade = QBCore.Shared.Gangs[gang].grades[grade]
            Player.PlayerData.gang.grade = {}
            Player.PlayerData.gang.grade.name = ganggrade.name
            Player.PlayerData.gang.grade.level = tonumber(grade)
            Player.PlayerData.gang.isboss = ganggrade.isboss or false
        else
            Player.PlayerData.gang.grade = {}
            Player.PlayerData.gang.grade.name = 'No Grades'
            Player.PlayerData.gang.grade.level = 0
            Player.PlayerData.gang.isboss = false
        end

        if not Player.Offline then
            Player.Functions.UpdatePlayerData()
            TriggerEvent('QBCore:Server:OnGangUpdate', Player.PlayerData.source, Player.PlayerData.gang)
            TriggerClientEvent('QBCore:Client:OnGangUpdate', Player.PlayerData.source, Player.PlayerData.gang)
            TriggerEvent('brutal_gangs:server:qbcore-gang-update', Player.PlayerData.source, newGang, json.decode(lastGang))
        end
    else
        TriggerClientEvent('QBCore:Notify', source, Lang:t('error.not_online'), 'error')
    end
end, 'admin')

Navigate to qb-core/shared/gangs.lua and replace this file to this:

QBShared = QBShared or {}
QBShared.Gangs = {
    none = { label = 'No Gang', grades = { ['0'] = { name = 'Unaffiliated' } } },
}

QBOX

Navigate to brutal_gangs/core/server-core.lua (line 225.) and replace this part as you can see it on the image:

brutal_gangs/core/server-core.lua

function CreateCoreJob(name, label, grades)
        local gang = {}
        local newValue, newGrades = {}, {}

        for k,v in pairs(grades) do
            newValue[#newValue+1] = { id = tonumber(k), data = v }
        end

        table.sort(newValue, function(a, b)
            return a.id < b.id
        end)

        for k,v in pairs(newValue) do
            newGrades[v.id] = v.data
        end

        gang[name] = {
            label = label,
            grades = newGrades,
        }

        return exports['qbx_core']:CreateGangs(gang)
    end

• Navigate to qbx_core/server/commands.lua and replace this command as you can see it on the image:

  

  qbx_core/server/commands.lua

lib.addCommand('setgang', {
    help = locale('command.setgang.help'),
    params = {
        { name = locale('command.setgang.params.id.name'), help = locale('command.setgang.params.id.help'), type = 'playerId' },
        { name = locale('command.setgang.params.gang.name'), help = locale('command.setgang.params.gang.help'), type = 'string' },
        { name = locale('command.setgang.params.grade.name'), help = locale('command.setgang.params.grade.help'), type = 'number', optional = true }
    },
    restricted = 'group.admin'
}, function(source, args)
    local player = GetPlayer(args[locale('command.setgang.params.id.name')])
    if not player then
        Notify(source, locale('error.not_online'), 'error')
        return
    end

    local newGang = {name = args[locale('command.setgang.params.gang.name')]}
    local lastGang = json.encode(player.PlayerData.gang)

    local success, errorResult = player.Functions.SetGang(args[locale('command.setgang.params.gang.name')], args[locale('command.setgang.params.grade.name')] or 0)
    TriggerEvent('brutal_gangs:server:qbcore-gang-update', player.PlayerData.source, newGang, json.decode(lastGang))
    assert(success, json.encode(errorResult))
end)

• Navigate to qbx_core/shared/gangs.lua and replace this file to this:

Before you do this step make sure that none of the players are in any gang in the sql

return {
    ['none'] = {
        label = 'No Gang',
        grades = {
            [0] = {
                name = 'Unaffiliated'
            },
        },
    },
}

Remove the basic gang scripts from your server

If you have any other gang creation scripts or anything similar, you don't need them anymore.

If you got any error

If you followed the installational guide and the script still don't work or you get any errors the please check the common errors, here in the docs and in our discord server, for more informations.
