Oxide Newspaper

Overview

oxide-newspaperjob is a newspaper delivery gig job where players clock in at a depot, grab a route, spawn a company BMX, and throw newspapers at marked house targets across the neighborhood.

The default package ships with:

• 2 depots
• 80 delivery zones
• 5 progression levels
• 9 tutorial prompts
• 1 in-game builder workflow

Players earn persistent progression, daily streak bonuses, route-completion speed bonuses, and random tips while a complaint system handles shift abuse such as bike loss, death on shift, and running out of newspapers mid-route.

Database

The resource uses the unified job_progression table and stores newspaper entries with job = 'newspaper'.

Frontend

The packaged UI is Vue 3 + Vite + Tailwind CSS and powers:

• the shift menu
• the in-job route HUD
• ammo and progress display
• shift summary screens
• tutorial overlays
• waypoint overlays

Menu Modes

• Config.menuStyle = 'nui': full Vue menu with cinematic camera and progression card
• Config.menuStyle = 'menu': lightweight olink.menu flow

Summary Modes

• Config.shiftSummary = 'nui': popup summary on clock-out
• Config.shiftSummary = 'text': notification summary on clock-out

If Config.usePhone = true, the resource sends service emails for shift events and the detailed clock-out breakdown through o-link.phone.

Features

• Route-based delivery flow: Players receive a generated house route, ride a BMX to each stop, and throw newspapers at marked house targets in order.
• Throwable delivery mechanic: Each route gives a limited weapon_newspaper supply, plus spare papers that let players recover from misses.
• Progression and leveling: Five tiers increase route size, tip chance, pay multiplier, and spare paper supply while tightening the allowed hit radius.
• Route timer system: Completing the route under time awards a speed bonus, while late completion applies a route-wide penalty.
• Detailed pay breakdown: Base pay, distance bonus, streak bonus, tips, speed bonus, and taxes feed the final shift payout.
• Bike loss handling: Losing or abandoning the BMX triggers a cash fine, adds a complaint, clears the active route, and forces the player back to depot flow.
• Uniform support: The uniform flow exists and is wired through o-link.clothing, but it is disabled by default in config.
• Builder tooling: /newspaperbuilder opens a full menu-driven depot builder with export and config import support.
• Tutorials: Nine first-time prompts teach route pickup, throwing, misses, ammo management, late routes, and leveling.
