The Lab Devtools

In-game developer tools for RedM. A dependency-free (no ox_lib) admin panel with noclip, raycasting, spawning, weather/time control, player debugging, performance monitoring and a fully rebindable key system.

Features

• Menu — 10 tabs (Overview, World, Debug, Player, Weapons, Horse, Resources, Performance, Tools, Keybinds) opened with a keybind or command.
• Command palette — press Ctrl+K in the menu to jump to any tab or run quick actions (toggle noclip, toggle raycast, copy position, reset keybinds, close menu).
• Noclip — txAdmin-style free camera (scripted cam) that releases cleanly on RedM. Mouse look, WASD movement, Shift to speed up.
• Raycast — aim ray with impact marker, entity outline + pickup light on props, and a real-time HUD (bottom-right) showing the targeted entity's spawn name, type, distance and coords.
• Weather & time — all 22 RDR2 weather types with readable labels, freeze weather/time, live clock override.
• World — spawn props/peds (17k+ models), nearby entity browser with inspector (freeze, visibility, collision, invincible, teleport, delete), zone visualizer.
• Horse — current mount health/stamina, heal, spawn horses by breed.
• Player — ped model, weapon (with readable names), vitals, position, camera, vehicle/mount info.
• Performance — FPS, frame time, entity pool counts, frame-time spike log.
• Resources — resource list, NUI monitor.
• Tools — position converter, hash finder, model finder, coordinate history, mouse (cursor) toggle.
• Keybinds — every action is rebindable in-game, persisted via KVP, with conflict detection.
• i18n — the entire UI (menu + client notifications) is translatable. English by default, French included.

Installation

1. Copy the tlb-devtools folder into your server's resources directory.
2. Add it to your server.cfg:

   ensure tlb-devtools
   

3. Restart the server (or restart tlb-devtools).

Configuration

Edit shared/config.lua:

| Setting | Default | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | Config.language | 'en' | UI language. Available: 'en', 'fr'. | | Config.usePermission | false | Enable ACE permission checks. | | Config.permission | { 'group.admin' } | ACE groups allowed to use the tools. | | Config.openMenuKey | 'F3' | Key to open/close the menu. | | Config.toggleNoclipKey | 'F5' | Noclip toggle. | | Config.toggleRaycastKey | 'F6' | Raycast toggle. | | Config.teleportMarkerKey | 'F10' | Teleport to the map waypoint. | | Config.gobackKey | '' | Return to your previous location. | | Config.raycast | — | Ray distance, line and outline colors. | | Config.zone | — | Zone visualizer color. |

All keybinds can also be changed at runtime from the Keybinds tab (persisted per-player via KVP).

Permissions (ACE)

If you enable Config.usePermission, grant access with, for example:

add_ace group.admin command allow
add_ace group.admin "command.tlb-devtools" allow

Commands

• tlb-devtools — opens/closes the devtools menu.
• goback — teleports you back to your previous location.

Localization

Add your own language in shared/locale.lua (client notifications) then set Config.language.

Troubleshooting

• Menu key not working after noclip — RedM can drop key-release events while player control is disabled; the keybind listener uses manual edge detection on the raw key state, so releasing and pressing the key again re-arms it.
• Weapon shows a hash — the weapon is not in shared/data/weapons.lua; add it there to get a readable name.
• NUI not loading — make sure app/ exists (run the web build) and ui_page 'app/index.html' matches the built output.

Protected resource — the client scripts are intended to be distributed via CFX Asset Escrow (escrow_ignore keeps config, locale and data lists editable by buyers).
