# Dependencies

> Required and optional dependencies for ML Recoil

Category: RECOIL · Source: https://miciomods.it/docs/ml-recoil-dependencies · Last updated: 2026-07-09

## Required

- ml_bridge: framework and inventory abstraction. Download from https://portal.cfx.re
- ox_lib: cache handles, `lib.callback`, `lib.disableControls`. Download from https://github.com/communityox/ox_lib

ml_recoil runs entirely from camera and weapon natives. It has no database, no inventory items and no UI, so oxmysql is not required.

## Framework

ml_recoil reads player and skill data only through ml_bridge, so it works on every supported framework with the same config. Pick the matching server.cfg block.

**QBox**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure qbx_core
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_recoil
```

**QBCore**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure qb-core
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_recoil
```

**ESX**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure es_extended
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_recoil
```

**Standalone**

**server.cfg**

```cfg
ensure ox_lib
ensure ml_bridge
ensure ml_recoil
```

> **INFO:** Auto Detection
>
> `ml_bridge` detects the active framework at runtime. No framework name is set anywhere in ml_recoil, so the same build runs on ESX, QBCore, QBox and Standalone.

## Optional

### ml_skills

When `ml_skills` is started, ml_recoil reads the player's `betterAccuracy` effect through `exports.ml_skills:GetActiveEffect('betterAccuracy')` and lowers recoil by 10% per rank, down to a 0.1 floor. The lookup is wrapped in `pcall` and gated on `GetResourceState`, so a missing ml_skills changes nothing.

> **INFO:** Standalone by Default
>
> The skill multiplier is resolved in `client/main_open.lua` / `server/server_open.lua`. With no skill system wired in, those hooks return `1.0` and recoil runs at its configured baseline.

### DGM weapon pack

`Config.Weapons` ships profiles for the optional DGM Apoc weapon pack (`WEAPON_DGM*`). Those entries are inert if the pack is not installed and can be deleted from the config. No resource dependency is declared for them.
