Everything lives in lua/config.lua. Edit, then restart nex_povrequest.
Cooldowns
Config.GlobalCooldown = 10 -- requester cooldown between ANY requests
Config.PairCooldown = 30 -- requester -> same target cooldown
| Key | Default | What it limits |
|---|
Config.GlobalCooldown | 10 | Minimum time between any two requests from the same admin |
Config.PairCooldown | 30 | Minimum time before the same admin can request the same player again |
Locale
Loads locales/<code>.json. English (en), Spanish (es), French (fr), and German (de) ship with the resource. Any key missing from the selected language falls back to English.
To add a language, copy locales/en.json to locales/<code>.json, translate the values, and set Config.Locale to that code.
Permission
Config.RequiredAce = 'nex_povrequest.use'
server.cfg:
add_ace group.admin nex_povrequest.use allow
Config.RequiredAce = nil (or false, or '') to let everyone use the command.
Receiving a request never requires permission — any targeted player always gets the notification. The check is enforced server-side on both the player-list fetch and the send, so it cannot be bypassed from the client.
Discord logging
Config.WebhookURL = 'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...'
Config.Embed = {
username = 'POV Logger',
avatar_url = nil,
color_note = 0x5865F2,
serverName = 'NEX.dev',
}
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|
Config.WebhookURL | example URL | Your Discord webhook. Set to '' to disable logging entirely |
Config.Embed.username | 'POV Logger' | Name the webhook posts as |
Config.Embed.avatar_url | nil | Optional avatar image URL for the webhook |
Config.Embed.color_note | 0x5865F2 | Embed side-bar colour |
Config.Embed.serverName | 'NEX.dev' | Shown in the embed footer next to the timestamp |
Replace the shipped example Config.WebhookURL with your own webhook before going live.
Config.UI table controls the panel and the target toast:
Config.UI = {
command = 'pov',
title = nil,
accent = '#ffffff',
showPlayerList = true,
allowManualId = true,
enableReason = true,
reasonMaxLen = 120,
closeOnEscape = true,
toastDuration = 8000,
}
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|
command | 'pov' | Chat command that opens the panel (/pov). Rename it if it clashes with another resource |
title | nil | Title in the panel top bar. Leave nil or '' to use the locale title ("POV Request" in English) |
accent | '#ffffff' | Accent colour — recolours every foreground element (text, icons, buttons, active tab, highlights, progress bars). Text on accent-coloured buttons auto-picks black or white for contrast |
showPlayerList | true | Show the searchable list of online players |
allowManualId | true | Allow typing a raw server ID in the Server ID tab |
enableReason | true | Show the optional reason field (also logged to Discord) |
reasonMaxLen | 120 | Character cap for the reason field |
closeOnEscape | true | ESC closes the panel |
toastDuration | 8000 | Milliseconds the target’s toast stays on screen |
If you disable showPlayerList, the panel opens straight on the server-ID input. If you disable allowManualId, only the player list is shown. Disabling both leaves no way to pick a target from the panel, so keep at least one enabled.
Fallback notifications
Config.Notify styles the ox_lib notifications used for the /pov [id] direct-send feedback and other fallback messages:
Config.Notify = {
position = 'top', -- 'top' = centered horizontally at top, 'bottom' = bottom-center
style = {
['font-size'] = '22px',
['max-width'] = '720px',
['padding'] = '16px 20px',
['border-radius'] = '14px',
}
}
style table is passed straight to lib.notify, so any CSS property ox_lib accepts works here (e.g. background-color, color, box-shadow, text-align).
