Getting Started

This page will walk you through getting and installing the script.

Acquire the Script

After purchasing the script through the sonoran store you may download the script through the keymaster account that purchased the script. Upon downloading extract the file to a safe place.

Install the Script

  1. Inside the script package you just extracted will be two folders. Copy both to a folder in your server's resources folder called [sonoranscripts] note the [] in the name, without them it will not work.

    Sonoran Software - Shot Spotter - Folders
  2. In the sonoran-shotspotter/config folder there will be a file called config.CHANGEME.lua you should rename that to be config.lua and configure the settings inside as you would like them to be configured based on the configuration documentation below. In that same folder will also be a file called spotters.CHANGEME.json which you should rename to spotters.json and use to manually place cameras based on the existing template, note you can also use the gun placement system in game. You will also find a file called discord.CHANGEME.lua, this should be named to discord.lua

    Sonoran Software - Shot Spotter - Config Folder
    Sonoran Software - Shot Spotter - Remove .CHANGEMEs
  3. Finally, in your server.cfg add the following:

ensure sonoran-shotspotter

add_ace resource.sonoran-shotspotter command allow
add_ace resource.sonoran-shotspotter_helper command allow
