Overview

dd-cards adds a print shop — a fabric — to your server. A player walks up to the ped, opens the business centre, designs a card in a full canvas editor, and places an order. The order takes real time to print. When it is done they are notified, come back, and collect a sealed box. Using the box takes out one card; using a card shows it to them.

Everything is priced: materials the player already carries are consumed from their inventory, anything they are short of is sold to them at a markup, and the fabric charges its own labour fee on top.

What ships

A card designer. Text, images, freehand drawing and six shapes (rectangle, circle, triangle, line, diamond, star), with colour control, layer ordering (send to back / bring to front), undo, redo and a full reset. Cards are named, and each player gets five save slots to keep designs in.

A priced order flow. Choose paper (standard or glossy), optionally add gold foil, set the quantity, and see a live breakdown — setup fee, printing, which materials came from your own pockets versus which the shop supplied, and the total. Pay by cash or bank.

Rush processing. Pay a surcharge on the labour to cut the wait.

Real printing time. Orders are not instant. The default is 20 minutes, or 5 with rush, and the timer runs whether or not the player stays logged in.

Notification when it is ready. Delivered as a phone mail through LB Phone, npwd or qb-phone if one is running, or as a plain on-screen notification if none is.

Items you can carry and give away. A finished order becomes a business_card_box. Using it takes out a single business_card, which carries the design with it — so a player can hand their card to someone else, and that person can look at it.

Requirements at a glance

	Supported
Framework	qbx_core (Qbox), qb-core (QBCore)
Inventory	ox_inventory, qb-inventory
Required	ox_lib, oxmysql
Targeting (optional)	ox_target, qb-target, or a built-in walk-up prompt
Menu (optional)	ox_lib context menu, qb-menu
Phone (optional)	lb-phone, npwd, qb-phone

Framework and inventory are chosen independently — QBCore with ox_inventory is a common and fully supported combination. See Compatibility for the detail.

Escrow and what stays editable

dd-cards is FiveM-escrow protected. The gameplay code under modules/ is encrypted, but the fxmanifest.lua declares these paths as escrow_ignore, so they remain readable and editable after purchase:

escrow_ignore {
    'config/**/*',
    'bridge/**/*',
    'types.lua',
}

That means all three config files stay open, and so does every bridge — so you can point dd-cards at a framework, inventory, target, menu or phone it does not ship support for by copying the closest bridge file. See Custom bridges, and Escrow & editing for what escrow means more generally.

Where to start

Work through Installation first — dependencies, start order and the database — then Items & images to register the six items in your inventory. After that the three configuration pages cover every option that ships.
