Installation

Put RCO Steamline on the server in a few minutes.

What you need

• A RedM server with RSG Core (and rsg-inventory) or VORP Core (and vorp_inventory).
• oxmysql (the database connection both frameworks already use).

Step by step

1. Copy the folder

   Put the rco-steamline folder inside your server’s resources folder.

2. Add it to server.cfg

   Start it after your database, your framework and its inventory:

   ensure oxmysql
   ensure rsg-core        # or vorp_core
   ensure rsg-inventory   # or vorp_inventory
   
   ensure rco-steamline
   
3. Let your admins use the admin command

   The /steamline command (admin panel, list, stop and remove trains) is for admins:

   add_ace group.admin command.steamline allow
   
4. Add the ticket item

   The train ticket is an inventory item, so your framework has to know it. Do this once.

   RSG

   RCO Steamline adds the item to rsg-core’s list by itself when it starts, but rsg-inventory only learns it after it restarts. So add it for good: open resources/[framework]/rsg-core/shared/items.lua and paste this line inside the list of items:

   rco_train_ticket = { name = 'rco_train_ticket', label = 'Train ticket', weight = 10, type = 'item', image = 'rco_train_ticket.png', unique = true, useable = true, shouldClose = true, description = 'A railroad ticket.' },
   

   Then copy rco-steamline/install/rco_train_ticket.png into rsg-inventory/html/images/ and restart the server. Keep unique = true: each ticket keeps its own trip.

   VORP

   Nothing to import: RCO Steamline adds the item to your items table by itself when it starts. VORP reads its items when it starts, so restart the server once after the first start.

   Then copy rco-steamline/install/rco_train_ticket.png into vorp_inventory/html/img/items/.

   If you change Config.Passenger.TicketItem, use the same name in the item line (RSG) and give the picture that name too.

   While the item is missing, the server console says so when the resource starts, and the ticket counter gives the player his money back.

5. Start the server

   The database tables (rco_steamline_companies, rco_steamline_members, rco_steamline_fleet, rco_steamline_cars and rco_steamline_ledger) are created by themselves on the first start. You don’t need to import anything and there are no jobs to create.

6. Test it

   Go to the Rhodes Station office and press G to open a company. Deposit some money in its till, then buy the engine and a car from the catalogue. Walk to the Steamline booth on the platform, press J, put the car on the train and call it.

Changing things later

Every change in the files of the config folder needs a restart to show up.

Close your game before restarting RCO Steamline, or restart the whole server. The resource streams models, train configurations and its own track: restarting it while you are in the game can crash your game.

Updating

Replace the folder with the new version. The config folder is yours: keep a copy before replacing and put your values back if the new version brings a new config. Companies, members, trains, cars and statements are kept in the database and are not touched by an update.
