FAQs

🎲 The betting panel does not open (/betpanel or export)

• Confirm cdev_bet is started and listed after oxmysql and your framework (qb-core, qbx_core, or es_extended).

• Default command: /betpanel — name is set in BetConfig.Commands.OpenPlayerPanel 1.

• From another resource (server): exports['cdev_bet']:OpenPlayerPanel(source) — player must be online and source valid.

• Check F8 (client) and server console for errors; set BetConfig.Debug = true, restart, try again.

• If the UI flashes and closes, verify oxmysql connection and that SQL tables were created (sql/install.sql).

🔐 Admin panel says “no access”

Add ACE to server.cfg or permissions.cfg:

add_ace group.admin cdev_bet.admin allow

• Permission name must match BetConfig.ACE.Admin (default: cdev_bet.admin).

• Restart the server (or refresh ACE), then use /betadmin or exports['cdev_bet']:OpenAdminPanel(source).

• Being in a “staff” job is not enough — CDEV Bet uses ACE, not job name.

🗄️ Database tables are not created

• Ensure oxmysql is running and MySQL credentials in server.cfg are correct.

• After DB fixes: restart cdev_bet.

💵 Min / max bet or treasury limits seem wrong

• In public/shared/config.lua, Betting and Treasury amounts are in cents, not dollars.

  • MinBetCents = 100 → $1.00 minimum in the UI

  • MaxBetCents = 50000000 → $500,000.00 maximum

• Players still type normal dollars in the panel (50 = $50.00).

• Use a dot for decimals in config (0.05), never a comma (0,05).

📊 Odds look strange (e.g. 99.00 or very low on one side)

CDEV Bet uses parimutuel (pool) odds — prices depend on how much money is on 1 / X / 2, not fixed bookmaker lines.

• Empty or tiny pool on a side → displayed odds can be very high.

• Heavy money on one side → odds on that side drop.

• BetConfig.Odds.DisplayHouseEdge slightly lowers shown odds; SettlementHouseEdge is the real rake on payout.

⏱️ Match status wrong (OPEN / LIVE / AWAITING SETTLEMENT too early or late)

• Status is driven by timestamps set when the admin creates the match:

  • Betting opens → open

  • Match start → betting closes, live

  • Event end → waiting_settled (admin must settle → end)

• Server checks lifecycle every BetConfig.UI.LifecyclePollSeconds (default 15 seconds).

• Players with the panel open get live patches; others refresh on AutoRefreshSeconds or reopening the panel.

• Wrong times in admin create form = wrong badges — fix dates, not just status labels.

🏆 Admin settled the match but my bet card still shows “Awaiting settlement”

• Reopen the panel or wait for auto-refresh if enabled.

• After settlement, the server broadcasts updates; if it still sticks, restart cdev_bet and ensure you are on the latest build.

• Full history: open View all history — sidebar preview can lag until refresh.

• Bet result (WIN / LOST) comes from wager status after settle, not only match badge.

🖼️ Team or banner images do not load in-game

• Use direct HTTPS image URLs (PNG/JPG). Some hosts block FiveM CEF or hotlinking.

• ESPN / combiner URLs may need the in-game proxy — if preview works in admin but fails in feed, try another CDN (Imgur, your CDN, GitHub raw, etc.).

• BetConfig.DefaultTeamLogoUrl is the fallback when a team logo is empty.

• Profile avatar: player can pick URL or local image from the images/ folder (no UI rebuild — drop files in images/ and restart resource).

🎨 UI language or colors don’t change

• BetConfig.Locale → file must exist: public/shared/locales/<code>.json (en, pt, es).

• BetConfig.Theme → id must exist in public/shared/themes.json (default, cdev, custom).

• For custom, fill color keys in themes.json under "custom".

• Always restart cdev_bet after editing locale/theme files.

📱 Tablet prop / animation issues

• Controlled by BetConfig.UI.Tablet:

  • Enabled = false → panel works, no prop/anim.

  • PropModel must be a valid GTA prop (prop_cs_tablet, etc.).

  • AnimDict / AnimName must match the prop you use.

• Other players see the tablet via synced state when enabled.

🗑️ Cannot delete a match in admin

• Delete is only allowed while match status is open (betting window).

• If any player has placed a bet (pool > 0 or wagers exist), delete is blocked — refund/settle flow applies instead.

• Use settle after event end when status is waiting settlement.

❌ “Betting closed” when placing a wager

• Bets only in open phase, between betting opens and match start time.

• One open bet per outcome (1/X/2) per player per match — duplicate side shows as already taken.

• MinBetCents / MaxBetCents and cash/bank balance must cover the stake.

• Match may have moved to live — check match card badge and schedule.

📈 Leaderboard profit shows ##########

• BetConfig.Leaderboard.ShowProfitToPlayers = false hides profit from normal players.

• Admins (ACE) always see real profit values.

• Leaderboard only reflects settled bets (won / lost).

🔄 Auto-refresh timer missing but data still updates

• BetConfig.UI.ShowAutoRefreshTimer = false hides the countdown chip; AutoRefreshSeconds can still run.

• AutoRefreshSeconds = 0 disables automatic refresh entirely (manual refresh / reopen only).

• Lifecycle status changes (OPEN → LIVE, etc.) use LifecyclePollSeconds, separate from auto-refresh.

📤 Exports from another resource don’t work

• Resource name: cdev_bet

• Start order: ensure cdev_bet before scripts that call exports.

• Server: OpenPlayerPanel, OpenAdminPanel, ClosePanel, IsPlayerPanelOpen — need valid source.

• Client: OpenPlayerPanel, OpenAdminPanel, ClosePanel, IsPanelOpen — local player only.

• See the Exports page for examples. Admin export does not bypass ACE on admin bootstrap.

🏦 Treasury balance / withdrawal issues

• Treasury receives SettlementHouseEdge rake when admin settles matches.

• Withdraw limits use cents in BetConfig.Treasury (MinWithdrawCents, MaxWithdrawCents).

• Withdrawals go through your framework money system (same bridge as player bets).
