SleepyCode Garages V2 - Full Installation & Configuration Guide

Garages V2 is SleepyCode's flagship garage resource for FiveM. It supports ESX, QBCore, QBox, and Standalone frameworks with auto-detection, a React-based UI, impound system, insurance tiers, police tow, showroom previews, and a full admin panel - all with no manual SQL import required.

Requirements

- FiveM server with OneSync enabled

- oxmysql - database bridge

- ox_lib - UI and utility library

- PolyZone - zone detection

- A supported framework: qbx_core, qb-core, or es_extended (or standalone with ACE permissions)

Installation

1. Place the resource

resources/
  [sleepycode]/
    sc_garages/
      fxmanifest.lua
      shared/
        ConfigClient.lua
        ConfigServer.lua
      client/
      server/
      locales/

2. server.cfg

ensure oxmysql
ensure PolyZone
ensure ox_lib
ensure es_extended   # or qb-core / qbx_core
ensure sc_garages

PolyZone must start before sc_garages. The resource auto-detects your framework - no manual setting required.

3. Database

No SQL import needed. On first startup Garages V2 automatically adds the required columns to your existing vehicles table:

- insurance

- last_used

- impound_name

- impounded_at

- police_hold_until

- impound_reason

- co_owner

- parking

A separate vehicle_history table is also created automatically.

The script reads your table via the database config (defaults match standard ESX/QB schemas):

Config.Database.Tables.OwnedVehicles = "owned_vehicles"
Config.Database.Tables.VehicleHistory = "vehicle_history"
Config.Database.Tables.Users          = "users"
Config.Database.Tables.Jobs           = "jobs"

Column mapping defaults (change if your schema differs):

Config.Database.Columns.Owner       = "owner"
Config.Database.Columns.Plate       = "plate"
Config.Database.Columns.VehicleData = "vehicle"
Config.Database.Columns.Stored      = "stored"

Key Configuration Options

Target system (ConfigClient.lua)

Config.UseTarget            = true
Config.Target.Resource      = ""    -- leave empty for auto-detection
-- Supported: ox_target, qb-target, qtarget, interact

Set Config.UseTarget = false to use markers with key bindings instead.

Marker appearance (fallback when target is off)

Config.Marker.Type          = 23
Config.Marker.Size          = vec3(1.2, 1.2, 0.5)
Config.Marker.Color         = {r=30, g=144, b=255, a=180}
Config.Marker.DrawDistance  = 8.0

Impound fees

Config.ImpoundPrice.Account = "money"
Config.ImpoundPrice.Price   = 5000

Police tow system

Config.PoliceTow.Enabled        = true
Config.PoliceTow.ImpoundName    = "police_impound"
Config.PoliceTow.MaxHoldHours   = 72
Config.PoliceTow.DefaultHold    = 24
Config.PoliceTow.RequiredJobs   = {"police", "sheriff"}
Config.PoliceTow.NotifyPlayer   = true

Commands:

/impoundpolice  - Police tow UI (police/sheriff jobs only)
/odholuj        - Mass-tow nearby vehicles (admin only)

Insurance tiers

Three configurable tiers (Basic, Standard, Premium). Each tier supports:

{
  label           = "Basic",
  price           = 500,
  account         = "money",
  days            = 7,
  freeImpound     = false,
  impoundDiscount = 0.25,   -- 25% off impound fee
  freeRepair      = false,
  protectDelete   = false,
}

Toggle insurance features globally:

Config.Insurance.Features.FreeRepair      = true
Config.Insurance.Features.ImpoundDiscount = true
Config.Insurance.Features.ProtectDelete   = true

Plate customisation

Config.ChangePlate.Command         = "plate"
Config.ChangePlate.Price           = 5000
Config.ChangePlate.Account         = "money"
Config.ChangePlate.PlateLength.Min = 6
Config.ChangePlate.PlateLength.Max = 8
Config.ChangePlate.BlackListedWords = {}

Admin panel

Config.AdminPanel.Command            = "garagesadmin"
Config.AdminPanel.Shortcut.Enabled   = true
Config.AdminPanel.Shortcut.HoldKey   = 21   -- SHIFT
Config.AdminPanel.Shortcut.PressKey  = 29   -- B

Open with /garagesadmin or SHIFT+B (configurable). From the admin panel you can create garages, impounds, and showrooms by placing spawn points at your current coordinates.

Server-side (ConfigServer.lua)

ConfigServer.Webhook        = ""   -- Discord webhook URL
ConfigServer.SteamAPIKey    = ""   -- Steam API key for avatar display

ConfigServer.Security.EnableAntiExploitBan = true
ConfigServer.Security.BanReasonPrefix      = "[sc_garages anti-exploit] "

Creating Garages In-Game

After installation, use /garagesadmin to open the admin panel. You can:

- Create garage zones (vehicle, aircraft, boat)

- Create impound locations

- Create showroom previews

- Set spawn and entry points by walking to the desired location

No JSON editing required - everything is managed through the UI.

Troubleshooting

Garage zones do not work - Ensure PolyZone starts before sc_garages. Enable Config.Debug = true and check the server console.

Vehicles do not spawn - Clear the spawn point of obstacles. Blocked spawn points are automatically skipped.

Target system not working - Start your target resource before sc_garages. Leave Config.Target.Resource = "" for auto-detection.

Admin panel won't open - Check your ESX admin group matches Bridge.Config.ESX.AdminGroups (defaults: admin, superadmin, owner).

Database errors - Confirm oxmysql is connected. Check that Config.Database.Tables.OwnedVehicles matches your actual table name.

Webhooks not sending - Validate the Discord webhook URL in ConfigServer.Webhook. Check the server console for HTTP errors.
