/pov says No permission. | The player doesn’t hold the ACE from Config.RequiredAce (default nex_povrequest.use). Add add_ace group.admin nex_povrequest.use allow to server.cfg and make sure the player is actually in that group, then restart the server so the ACE applies. |
/pov does nothing at all | The resource didn’t start, or ox_lib is missing/started too late. Check the server console for errors, confirm ensure ox_lib comes before ensure nex_povrequest, and from F8 run lua print(GetResourceState('nex_povrequest')) — it should print started. |
| The command is taken by another resource | Rename it via Config.UI.command in lua/config.lua and restart nex_povrequest. |
Target ID not online. | The server ID you entered has no connected player. IDs change on reconnect — hit the refresh button in the panel to reload the list. |
| ”Please wait…” / “You recently requested POV from this player.” | You hit the anti-spam cooldowns. Tune Config.GlobalCooldown (default 10 s) and Config.PairCooldown (default 30 s). |
| Nothing arrives in Discord | Config.WebhookURL is empty, still the shipped example, or the webhook was deleted. Create a fresh webhook in your Discord channel settings and paste its URL. The server also needs outbound HTTPS access. |
| Player pictures show initials instead of avatars | Avatars only resolve for players who connect with a discord identifier, and the lookup runs through an external API. If that API is slow or down, the panel still opens after a 4-second timeout — just without pictures. Results are cached for 30 minutes, so a newly linked avatar can take up to 30 minutes to appear. |
| Panel takes a few seconds to open | That’s the Discord avatar lookup for players not yet cached. It is capped at 4 seconds; subsequent opens are fast thanks to the cache. |
Texts show raw keys like sent_to_target | The locale file failed to load. Check that locales/<Config.Locale>.json exists and is valid JSON — the console prints [nex_povrequest] WARNING: no locale strings loaded when nothing could be read. Keys missing from a translation fall back to English automatically. |
| Wrong language shows | Config.Locale must match a file in locales/ (en, es, fr, de, or your own code). Restart the resource after changing it. |
| Mouse stuck after the panel closed | Press ESC (unless you disabled Config.UI.closeOnEscape) or click Close. As a last resort, restart nex_povrequest — the resource releases NUI focus automatically when it stops. |
| Config edits don’t apply | The config is read at startup. Run restart nex_povrequest after every edit to lua/config.lua. |
