Configuration
Configuration sources
Sky Fire Job uses two configuration layers:
| Layer | Purpose |
|---|---|
/jobconfig | Job-specific and frequently changed settings stored through Sky Jobs Base |
Open files in sky_firejob/config | Defaults, fallback jobs, advanced systems, locales, images, and styling |
When Config.UseJobConfigurator is enabled, saved Job Configurator values take priority over matching fallback values in config.lua. Editing a fallback value alone may therefore have no visible effect on an already configured server.
Recommended workflow
- Enable or disable the main systems in
/jobconfig. - Configure firefighter jobs, shops, vehicles, permissions, station flow, and scenario settings.
- Save the configuration and test it without restarting the resource.
- Use the open configuration files only for settings that are not exposed in the configurator.
- Keep a backup of customized configuration files before every resource update.
Main feature areas
config/config.lua contains the main fallback setup for:
- Fire station blip and radial access
- Rescue cushion
- Hose behavior, foam refill, pumps, hydrants, and supported vehicles
- Firefighter job definitions, props, shops, and vehicles
- Oil spill cleanup
- Vehicle fires and standalone accident ignition
- Lighter ignition behavior
- Prop ignition
- Vehicle rescue and player entrapment
- Trapped patient rescue
- Scenario creator dispatch and random trigger behavior
- Tree incident gameplay
- Fire system decals, protective gear, and NPC reactions
Open configuration files
| File | Use |
|---|---|
config/config.lua | Main firejob settings, fallback jobs, and major feature toggles |
config/init.lua | Loads the firejob configuration entrypoint |
config/editor/peds.lua | Firefighter wardrobe or character-related creator data |
config/editor/vehicles.lua | Garage and configured fire vehicle editor data |
config/img/* | Bundled Firejob UI background and artwork assets |
config/locales/*.lua | Translations and interface text |
config/style.css | Fallback NUI theme variables and styling |
Settings that need extra care
Hose and supply settings
Review Config.Hose carefully when adjusting hose length, hydrant distance, pump support, or fire vehicle tank sizes. Mismatched supply values can make realistic suppression impossible or too easy.
Vehicle fires
Config.VehicleFires controls manual ignition, external creation, explosion timing, and standalone accident detection. If sky_mechanicjob is running, the fallback accident mode should be reviewed so both resources do not try to own the same crash logic.
Protective gear
Config.FireSystem.protectiveGear validates required clothing components and optional air bottle handling. Adjusting component IDs without matching your actual uniforms will cause players to lose intended protection.
Oil spill cleanup
Config.OilSpills.cleanup controls required duty checks, absorbent and broom items, and item consumption. The cleanup state is server-authoritative and should stay aligned with your inventory item names.
Scenario creator
Config.FireScenarioCreator controls random triggers and dispatch targeting. Review the required on-duty job list before enabling automatic scenario starts on production servers.
Job Configurator fire jobs
Firefighter jobs created only through /jobconfig are still included in the shared job systems. They receive station storage, wardrobe, garage, billing, and tablet support through Sky Jobs Base.
After adding or changing a firefighter job, save the Job Configurator entry and ensure the player has the correct job and duty state before checking access.
