Installation

Bablo Freecam is a free resource. Get it from Bablo Resources and extract the download before installing.

Requirements#

Standalone mode still requires ox_lib. Freecam does not require a database import, an inventory item, or Bablo Animation Menu.

Add the resource#

Place the bablo-freecam folder in your server’s resources directory. Keep that resource name so the integration examples work as written. Check that these files exist:

resources/
  bablo-freecam/
    fxmanifest.lua
    client/
    server/
    shared/
    locales/
    nui/
      dist/
        index.html
        assets/

The manifest must be directly inside bablo-freecam, not inside a second nested copy of the folder. Keep the complete nui/dist directory from the download.

Start order#

Start your framework and HUD before Freecam so its bridges can detect them. Use only the framework that your server runs.

ensure ox_lib
ensure qb-core
# Start your HUD here, if used.
ensure bablo-freecam

First launch#

1. Start the server, or run refresh followed by ensure bablo-freecam in the server console after adding the resource.
2. Check the console message for the detected framework and HUD.
3. Join the server and enter /freecam or /cam in chat.
4. Press Tab to open Studio Settings, then use Done to return to camera movement.
5. Press Esc with Studio closed to leave Freecam.

By default, all players can use Freecam. There is no default keyboard shortcut for opening it. See Configuration for an optional opening key and admin-only access.

Updating#

Back up any changes to shared/settings.lua, shared/strings.lua, or your bridges. Stop the resource, install the complete updated package, and reapply your changes against the new files. Start the resource again after updating.

After changing configuration on an installed resource, run this in the server console:

restart bablo-freecam

No frontend build is needed to install the supplied nui/dist files or change Lua settings.
