So you've just purchased PR, and now you're wondering...
How do I make this work in my server?
PR has a lot to offer Developers, but the bare minimum required to build a functional setup is as follows:
- Creating a Pager Network
- Setting up permissions
- Deciding how to create Pages.
Creating a Pager Network
Creating a network is made easy by using our Pager Network Designer, located here:
With this editor you can create a new network from scratch, or edit an existing network by uploading your nodes.lua.
When starting from scratch, you can choose from a Blank Network, a Simple Network, or a Complex Network.
The Blank Network is a blank canvas from which you have total control over how you create your network.
The Simple Network is a pre-configured network that contains two broad groups for Fire and EMS, and for Los Santos and Blaine County respectively.
The Complex Network is a pre-configured network that contains groups for Fire, EMS, and Law Enforcement and has capcodes for all base-game locations (fire station, hospital, police station, etc.).
If it is your first time creating a network, we suggest the Simple or Complex Network and playing around with the options to see what you like best.
There is a 'Help' button in the top-right corner of the editor that provides additional information and guidance.
When finished, ensure to click 'Export Nodes' to download your nodes.lua file.
This file needs to go in the Pager Reborn resource folder.
Setting up permissions
Once you've created your network in the Pager Network Designer, click the 'Permissions' button in the top-left corner of the editor.
If editing an existing network, you can also upload an existing permissions.lua file.
Permissions are role-based, allowing you to create different roles for the various types of players in your server.
When adding player identifiers to a role (or player override), ensure to include the prefix:
GOOD:
license:749dd9f14e664f89164c5106d11a35932caf26e1
BAD:749dd9f14e664f89164c5106d11a35932caf26e1
For information on what each option does, see the 'Help' button in the top-right corner of the editor.
When finished, ensure to click 'Export Permissions' to download your permissions.lua file.
This file needs to go in the Pager Reborn resource folder.
Deciding how to create Pages.
PR provides several ways to create Page messages, these include:
- In-game via the Page Creation UI.
- Using server Exports.
- Using the built-in HTTP API.
There are also integrations for common third-party resources, see here.
"I'm not good with coding" / "How do I make it work with XYZ script?" / Etc.
