⚙️ Ingame Configuration

Intro

The ingame configuration provided with EdgeF4 provides an easy and efficient way to configure your addon. All changes are updated directly after saving and do therefore not require any server restart. The ingame configuration requires no prior knowledge and can be used by pretty much everyone.

Simplified Instructions

1. Connect to your server.
2. Type !edgef4_config in your chat.
3. Go through the configuration options and set them to your liking.
4. Press the Exit button in the bottom left.
5. Select Save Changes.

Opening the configuration

The configuration can be opened once you have logged into your server by either typing !edgef4_config in your chat or edgef4_config in your game console. Once you have entered the command to open the configuration, you are presented by a window with a navigation bar to the left and the configuration options in the middle. By using the navigation buttons to the left, you can browse different types of configurations. These include the global settings, usergroups settings, and team settings.

Global Settings

Under the Global Settings tab, you can perform changes to the addon that applies to everyone. Once opened, you are presented with a list of all the general configuration options. The options are listed with a title, description, value selector, and button for more actions. The button, which has a plus-icon, can for example be used to reset the value to its default value or to show an example image of what the configuration option refers to.

Usergroups Settings

The usergroups settings are used to decide what access specific usergroups should have. Once opened, you are presented with a list of all the currently added usergroups along with a Modify button for each respective usergroup.

Adding a usergroup

You can add a new usergroup to the list by pressing the Add Group button located in the middle at the bottom. Note that usergroup names are case-sensitive and will not work if not spelled correctly.

Modifying usergroup permissions

Once you have added the usergroup to the list, click the Modify button to start modifying the usergroup permissions. Once clicked, you will be navigated to a new page where you can set the permissions of the usergroup. Once finished, click the button titled Go Back and continue configuring EdgeF4.

Team Settings

The team settings are used to apply certain conditions for certain jobs within the F4 menu. Here you are able to hide certain jobs from showing up in the EdgeF4 job list and also set the order in which they should be sorted. Note that changing the name of the team in the DarkRP configuration will require the affected team to be configured again.

Hidden Teams List

The teams in the Hidden Teams list will not be shown in the F4 menu. You can add a new team here by clicking the Add Team button at the bottom and remove the team from the list by clicking the cross-button to the right of the team name.

Team Order

The teams/team-categories in the Team Order list will be sorted in the order that they are arranged in the configuration. You can add a new team or team category here by clicking the Add Team button at the bottom. Then use the arrows to the right of the team/team-category name to arrange them in the order that you like. Teams are identified by a (T) prefix while categories are identified by a (C) prefix. Remove a team/team-category from the list by clicking the cross-button to the right of the team/team-category name.

Saving the configuration

The configuration can be saved by clicking the Exit button in the lower-left and then by selecting Save Changes. The addon will now be reloaded immediately and no server restart is required.

Exporting/importing the configuration

EdgeF4 provides easy-to-use tools for exporting/importing your configuration in an efficient way. Useful when wanting to apply one configuration to multiple servers running EdgeF4.

Exporting the configuration

To export the configuration, click the Actions button in the lower left and then select Export Config. The configuration will now be copied to your clipboard (ctrl + c) in a JSON format and can easily be stored as a text document.

Importing the configuration

To import the configuration, click the Actions button in the lower left and then select Import Config. You will then be asked to paste (ctrl + v) the configuration that was copied when exporting the configuration. Click Confirm and verify that the configuration was successfully imported.
