Configuration and Job Settings

Detailed explanation for global config, market config, per-job settings, required items, team sizes, and job-specific special cases

This script has three real configuration layers:

• config.lua

• escrow/market/config.lua

• escrow/jobs/<job_name>/config.lua

If you remember only one rule, remember this:

• config.lua = global menu, level, money, police, drone, and market behavior

• escrow/market/config.lua = which items the illegal market sells

• escrow/jobs/<job>/config.lua = the actual job you want to enable, disable, or rebalance

Quick Answers

• Menu command, key, or tablet item: config.lua -> Config.IllegalMenu

• Change police jobs: config.lua -> Config.PoliceJobName

• Change dirty or clean money handling: config.lua -> Config.DirtyMoney and Config.CleanMoney

• Change drone delivery or market payment methods: config.lua -> Config.IllegalMarket

• Change image path: config.lua -> Config.InventoryImagesFolder

• Disable a whole job: escrow/jobs/<job>/config.lua -> active = false

• Change level, reward, or description for one job: escrow/jobs/<job>/config.lua

• Change team size: escrow/jobs/<job>/config.lua -> teamSize

• Change required items: sometimes top-level requiredItems, sometimes inside job-specific game.*.requiredItems

• Limit a step so it does not run forever: steps -> progress.target

• Change market items or prices: escrow/market/config.lua

What Is Inside config.lua?

The real source file controls:

• Config.InventoryImagesFolder

• Config.IllegalMenu

• Config.PoliceJobName

• Config.Levels

• Config.DroneDelivery

• Config.JobInfoBoxAlign

• Config.ExpandJobInfoBoxKey

• Config.DirtyMoney

• Config.CleanMoney

• Config.IllegalMarket

• Config.DefaultRoutingBucket

• Config.debug

Default item-based menu access uses:

itemName = 'illegal_tablet'

The same file also includes:

switchToHeistPack

So if you are changing main menu behavior, do not look inside individual job folders first. Start with config.lua.

What Is Inside escrow/market/config.lua?

This file is only for the illegal market list.

Each entry controls:

• itemName

• label

• price

• job

Real source examples include:

• weapon_crowbar

• lockpick

• weapon_digiscanner

• powdered_milk

• money_sheet

• anchor

• plant_spray

• ammonia

• sacid

• atm_hack_device

• blank_card

• moonshine_still

• moonshine_pack

If the player can open the menu but cannot buy the item you expect, this is the first file to check.

What Is Inside Each Job Config?

Every job file under escrow/jobs/<job_name>/config.lua is the real job definition.

Common fields found in the real source include:

• active

• level

• label

• description

• image

• reward

• information

• steps

• requiredItems

• teamSize

• requiredJobName

• requiredGangName

That means most job-specific edits happen in the job's own config file, not in config.lua.

How Do I Disable One Job?

Open the job you want to remove, for example:

escrow/jobs/weed_job/config.lua

Then set:

active = false

If the job still appears, make sure you edited the correct job folder. This pack contains many jobs and each one has its own file.

How Do I Change Level, Reward, Or Team Size?

Use the same job config file.

The most common fields are:

• level

• reward = { ... }

• teamSize = { min = 1, max = 2 }

Examples from the real source:

• some jobs are single-player only

• some jobs expose teamSize.max

• some jobs use fixed money, others use 'Random'

How Do I Add Required Items?

This is the important part many server owners miss:

• some jobs use top-level requiredItems

• some jobs also use scene-specific game.*.requiredItems

Examples from the real source:

• bag_snatch uses top-level requiredItems for weapon_crowbar

• car_theft uses top-level requiredItems for lockpick

• moonshine uses top-level requiredItems for still and ingredient items

• weed_job, meth_job, cocaine_job, and counterfeit_money also use scene-level requiredItems inside their production stages

So if you changed one required item and nothing changed in game, check whether the real requirement is inside a nested game section instead of the top of the file.

How Do I Stop A Production Step After X Actions?

Use progress.target inside the steps array.

Real source examples use this for jobs such as:

• bag_snatch

• car_theft

• diving

• fraud

• illegal_delivery

• moonshine

• plane_drug_delivery

If a production-style job feels endless, this is the first thing to inspect.

How Do I Change Police Alert Chances?

Many jobs store police alert logic inside their game section.

Real source examples include:

• bag_snatch

• car_theft

• chicken_kidnapping

• chop_shop

• cocaine_job

• container_heli

• counterfeit_money

• diving

• fraud

• gun_smuggling

• illegal_delivery

• meth_job

• money_laundering

• moonshine

Look for:

police_alert_chance

inside the job file you are editing.

Special Cases You Should Know

These jobs are not all identical:

• moonshine references object_gizmo_resource_name and extra object placement logic

• money_laundering has scene-specific required items logic instead of a normal job-start item gate

• corner_deal uses custom sellable item tables and area risk settings

• some jobs use requiredJobName

• some jobs use requiredGangName

So if a job behaves differently from the others, that is normal. Open the exact job file and read its own game section.

If Your Changes Do Not Apply

Check these in order:

1. Did you edit config.lua, escrow/market/config.lua, or the exact job file you are testing?

2. Did you edit the correct job folder?

3. Did you restart 0r-illegalpack after the change?

4. Did you change top-level requiredItems when the real requirement lives inside game.*.requiredItems?

5. Did you change market settings when the real problem is in the job file, or the reverse?
