## Why vtx-jobcreator?

Most job creation workflows involve editing Lua configs, writing SQL inserts, and restarting the server repeatedly. vtx-jobcreator eliminates all of that:

- **In-game NUI panel** — Open a clean UI without leaving the game. No alt-tabbing, no config files.
- **Auto framework detection** — Detects whether you run ESX or QBCore automatically. Manual override available.
- **Instant sync** — New jobs are available to all players immediately, no restart needed.
- **Persistent MySQL storage** — Jobs survive server restarts using dedicated `vtx_jobs` and `vtx_job_grades` tables.
- **ACE permissions** — Only authorized admins can access the creator panel.
- **Zero performance impact** — Adaptive render loop, lightweight client code.

## Supported Frameworks

| Framework | Support Level |
|-----------|--------------|
| **ESX** | Full — jobs also written to native `jobs`/`job_grades` tables for compatibility |
| **QBCore** | Full — jobs added to `QBCore.Shared.Jobs` and synced to all clients |

The resource auto-detects your framework on startup. You can also force a specific framework in `config.lua` by setting `Config.Framework` to `"esx"` or `"qbcore"`.

## How to Use It

Type `/createjob` in-game to open the job creator panel. From there:

1. **Job Name** — Enter a unique identifier (lowercase, letters, numbers, underscores)
2. **Job Label** — The display name players will see
3. **Whitelisted** — Toggle whether the job requires whitelist access
4. **Duty Location** — Click "My Pos" to capture your current coordinates
5. **Blip Settings** — Customize the map blip sprite, color, and scale
6. **Grades** — Add job ranks with names, labels, and salary amounts
7. **Create Job** — Hit the button and the job is live instantly

Use the **Manage Jobs** tab to view all created jobs or delete ones you no longer need.

## How It Works Under the Hood

- Jobs are stored in dedicated `vtx_jobs` and `vtx_job_grades` MySQL tables
- On resource start, all jobs are loaded and registered with your framework
- **ESX**: Jobs are also written to native `jobs` and `job_grades` tables for full framework compatibility
- **QBCore**: Jobs are added to `QBCore.Shared.Jobs` and synced to all connected clients
- The `vtx_` table prefix prevents any conflicts with existing framework tables

## vtx-jobcreator vs. the FiveMX Jobs Creator Tool

This open-source resource and the [FiveMX Jobs Creator](/jobs-creator) serve different purposes:

| | vtx-jobcreator (This Resource) | FiveMX Jobs Creator |
|---|---|---|
| **Type** | In-game FiveM resource | Web-based tool on fivemx.com |
| **Usage** | Create jobs while playing | Create jobs in the browser, export configs |
| **Storage** | MySQL (persistent on your server) | Export as downloadable config files |
| **Frameworks** | ESX, QBCore | ESX, QBCore, QBOX |
| **Price** | Free (MIT license) | Free |
| **Best for** | Server admins who want to manage jobs in-game | Developers who prefer building configs before deployment |

Both are made by FiveMX. Use whichever fits your workflow — or both.
