Admin & Developer Tools

Reference for all admin commands and builder utilities in oxide-newspaperjob.

Builder Command

The newspaper job uses a single menu-driven builder:

Builder Features

The builder menu supports:

• creating a new depot location at your current position
• setting the BMX spawn point
• setting the cinematic menu camera
• adding house delivery zones with labels and minimum level
• quick-adding house zones with auto-detected street names
• undoing the last action
• viewing active build status
• finishing a location
• exporting all finished locations to exported_locations.lua
• importing current Config.Locations into the builder
• editing previously finished locations

Suggested Builder Workflow

Export Output

Exports are written to:

• exported_locations.lua

The server also prints the exported Config.Locations block to the console.

Player Commands

These commands are available to all players:

Keybinds

Permissions

The builder is admin only. It uses the same admin check as every Oxide resource, so if someone is already an admin on your server, they can use it — there's nothing extra to set up per resource.

If you're already running QBCore, QBX, or ESX admins, those admins pass automatically and you can skip this section.

To make someone an admin, add them to the admin group and grant that group the admin ace. Add these two lines to your server.cfg:

add_principal identifier.license:<their-license> group.admin
add_ace group.admin admin allow

The first line puts the player in the admin group; the second grants that group admin access. Replace <their-license> with the player's license identifier, which you can find in your admin tools or the server console when they connect.

Progression Management

Player progression is stored in the unified job_progression table with job = 'newspaper'. To manage progression:

Reset a Player's Progression

UPDATE job_progression
SET level = 1, total_count = 0, daily_streak = 0, complaints = 0, timeout_until = NULL
WHERE char_id = ?
  AND job = 'newspaper';

Remove a Suspension

UPDATE job_progression
SET timeout_until = NULL
WHERE char_id = ?
  AND job = 'newspaper';

Clear Complaints

UPDATE job_progression
SET complaints = 0
WHERE char_id = ?
  AND job = 'newspaper';

Set a Player's Level

UPDATE job_progression
SET level = 5
WHERE char_id = ?
  AND job = 'newspaper';

View a Player's Stats

SELECT *
FROM job_progression
WHERE char_id = ?
  AND job = 'newspaper';

Operational Notes

• Clocking out deposits bank pay and removes the active weapon_newspaper item.
• Bike loss and out-of-ammo incidents clear the active route immediately.
• Hospitalization auto-clocks out the shift and pays any completed route earnings already accumulated in the shift breakdown.
