How do I change the language?

Set `Config.Locale` in `shared/config.lua`: **shared/config.lua** ```lua Config.Locale = 'en' ```

How do I restrict access to the editor?

Set `Config.RequirePermissions = true` and configure `Config.AcePermission`: **shared/config.lua** ```lua Config.RequirePermissions = true Config.AcePermission = 'ml_mastervideo.access' ``` Grant the ACE in `server.cfg`: `add_ace group.admin ml_mastervideo.access allow`

How do I update the script?

1. Download latest from CFX Portal 2. Backup `shared/config.lua` and `server/config_server.lua` 3. Replace all files except config 4. Restart the resource Scenes are stored in the database and survive updates.

F.A.Q

Q: What camera interpolation modes are available?

Each keyframe has its own easing: `linear` (constant speed), `in` (starts slow), `out` (ends slow), `inout` (slow at both ends), `smooth` and `hold` (a cut that holds the previous frame). The path between keyframes is a `spline` curve or `linear` segments, set by `Config.Camera.DefaultPathMode` for new keyframes.

Q: What is the recording quality?

`Config.Recording.SampleHz` sets the vehicle sample rate, 30 per second by default. Peds record every frame with `Config.Performance.PedRecordingInterval = 0`. Higher rates play smoother and store more data.

Q: How do I render a scene to a video file?

Install ffmpeg on the server, start `screencapture` or `screenshot-basic`, and render from the editor on a game client running on the same machine as the server. The script captures each frame, uploads it to the server and encodes the video into `renders/`. Quality and size come from `Config.Render`.

Q: A weather sync resource changes the weather during my scene. How do I stop it?

Pause your sync in `OpenClient.OnSceneAmbiance` in `open/client.lua` while a scene is active. See the Developer page.

Setup

Set Config.Locale in shared/config.lua:

shared/config.lua

1Config.Locale = 'en'

Set Config.RequirePermissions = true and configure Config.AcePermission:

shared/config.lua

1Config.RequirePermissions = true
2Config.AcePermission = 'ml_mastervideo.access'

Grant the ACE in server.cfg: add_ace group.admin ml_mastervideo.access allow

Scenes

Three types: peds (humans and animals), vehicles (any GTA vehicle model), and props (world objects). Each entity can have custom appearance, behavior, and recorded movement paths.

Select an entity in the editor, start recording, and drive or walk the path. Vehicles are sampled Config.Recording.SampleHz times per second (30) with position, rotation, speed and vehicle state, and peds every frame. On playback the entity follows the recorded path.

Each keyframe has its own easing: linear (constant speed), in (starts slow), out (ends slow), inout (slow at both ends), smooth and hold (a cut that holds the previous frame). The path between keyframes is a spline curve or linear segments, set by Config.Camera.DefaultPathMode for new keyframes.

Config.Recording.SampleHz sets the vehicle sample rate, 30 per second by default. Peds record every frame with Config.Performance.PedRecordingInterval = 0. Higher rates play smoother and store more data.

Rendering

Install ffmpeg on the server, start screencapture or screenshot-basic, and render from the editor on a game client running on the same machine as the server. The script captures each frame, uploads it to the server and encodes the video into renders/. Quality and size come from Config.Render.
