Implementation Tips

Performance Optimization

  1. Adjust Update Intervals:

    Config.UpdateIntervals = {
    playerStats = 200,    -- Less frequent updates
    vehicleStats = 16,    -- Lower refresh rate
    stress = 15000,       -- Less frequent stress checks
    fuel = 3000,          -- Less frequent fuel checks
}

  2. Disable Unused Features:

    Config.HudSettings = {
    showHealth = true,
    showArmor = true,
    showHunger = false,   -- Disable if not using hunger
    showThirst = false,   -- Disable if not using thirst
    -- ... disable other unused features
}

  3. Optimize Stress System:

    Config.DisableStress = true  -- Disable if not using stress

Customization Examples

Realistic Police Server:

Config.StressChance = 0.2
Config.MinimumSpeed = 120
Config.WhitelistedJobs = {
    ['police'] = true,
    ['ambulance'] = true,
    ['leo'] = true,
    ['mechanic'] = true,
}

Casual Gaming Server:

Config.DisableStress = true
Config.DisableStamina = true
Config.UseMPH = false  -- Use KPH for international players

Racing Server:

Config.MinimumSpeed = 150
Config.VehClassStress = {
    [6] = true,   -- Sports
    [7] = true,   -- Super
    -- All others false
}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. HUD Not Showing:

    • Check if all required resources are started

    • Verify framework selection is correct

    • Ensure player has required permissions

  2. Performance Issues:

    • Increase update intervals

    • Disable unused HUD elements

    • Reduce stress effect intensity

  3. Resource Conflicts:

    • Ensure only one HUD resource is active

    • Check for conflicting key bindings

    • Verify resource load order
