Configuration

everything is in config.lua. the defaults work out of the box, so you only touch what you want to change.

opening

• itemName — the inventory item that opens the console.
• command — a chat command to open it (/arcade by default), set to false to disable.
• useKeybind / keybindDefault — register a rebindable key to open it (off by default).

sound

sound = { enabled = true, volume = 0.35 }

the sound is a self-contained chiptune synth in the ui, there are no audio files. turn it off or change the volume here.

the holding animation

animation = {
    enabled = true,
    dict = 'cellphone@',
    clip = 'cellphone_text_read_base',
    flag = 49,
    prop = 'prop_npc_phone_02',   -- set to false for no prop
    propBone = 28422,
    propPos = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
    propRot = vec3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
}

while the console is open your ped holds the handheld and taps at it. swap the animation or the hand prop here, or set prop = false for just the animation. tune propPos / propRot if the prop sits wrong in the hand.

games

games = { 'badlands', 'turbo', 'cash', 'viper', 'leap', 'stacker', 'bricker' }

this is the menu order, and which games show up. remove one to hide it.

payouts

payout = {
    enabled = false,
    moneyType = 'cash',
    perPoint = 0.0,
    maxPerRun = 0,      -- hard cap of coins for one run, 0 = no cap
    cooldownMs = 60000  -- minimum time between payouts per player
}

arcade scores are reported by the client, so a cash payout is trusted the same way any client-scored minigame is. that's why it's off by default. when you enable it the server still:

• clamps the submitted score to scoreClamp,
• caps the coins per run with maxPerRun,
• and rate-limits payouts per player with cooldownMs.

if you want the fun without the exploit surface, leave payouts off and keep the leaderboard, which carries no reward.

score limits

scoreClamp = { badlands = 100000, turbo = 100000, ... }

the server rejects any score above these per game. they're a backstop against obviously spoofed numbers, tune them to whatever a real run can realistically reach.

framework / inventory / database

framework, inventory and database are covered on the framework page. all three default to auto.
