Update 1.5.0 12/05/2026

• Full Live Configurator overhaul. /dirk_multichar (or the new cog button on the character-list title) opens a 6-tab admin panel: Basic, Scene, Backstories, Spawn Locations, States, VIP Roles.
• Configurator can now be opened from inside the Multichar UI itself (gated by dirk_lib's scriptConfig edit permission). Back / Esc / close button all drop you straight back into the character list instead of bouncing through the script chooser.
• New cameraViews, defaultItems, and characterStates fields now live in scriptConfig — every value the resource cares about is admin-editable in-game.
• Backstory editor: tabbed modal (General / Access / Items / Scenes) with fixed height so switching tabs doesn't shift the panel. Items use a compact SelectItem list with inline expand. Discord-role access is gated behind the Locked toggle.
• Scene tab: drag-reorder character display positions, modal editor with Scenario/Dict/Anim/Flag rows, walk-and-set position picker (E confirms, ⌫ cancels), customisation-position + atmosphere (weather/time) consolidated here. Scene atmosphere now actually applies during the multichar scene and restores on hand-off to the spawn selector / first spawn.
• Spawn Locations: modal editor with FontAwesome icon picker, in-game group/rank pickers backed by lib.framework, randomised internal IDs (no more hand-typed spawn_1).
• States tab: edit visual character states (icon + colour + message + Disabled toggle) and an Online Players sub-panel that lets admins search any online character and apply a state from the same tab.
• VIP Roles tab gets the Use ESX Character Slots Table toggle. Spawn Selector toggle moved into the Spawn Locations tab.
• Backstory System fully overhauled — new UI for creating / managing backstories, scenes with their own walk-set positions, items use SelectItem, locked / discord-gated access in its own tab.
• Restyle pass on every consumer NUI to use dirk-cfx-react for consistency with the rest of the dirk_* lineup.
• Full locale sweep — every label, tooltip, placeholder, and confirm message reads from locales/en.json. %s placeholders used for dynamic values instead of hand-rolled {name} substitutions.

#scriptConfig migration

• settings/ folder removed. Every value that was a Lua table — basic, lifestyles, spawnLocations, vipRoles, characterPositions, cameraViews, defaultItems, characterStates — now lives in schema.json and persists through dirk_lib's scriptConfig.
• Every Lua consumer reads via lib.scriptConfig.get('section') + reacts to admin saves through lib.scriptConfig.on('section', ...). Edits in the configurator apply live, no resource restart required.
• characterMetadata is the only Lua holdout (its entries carry get(charId) callback functions that query the DB — can't be JSON). Moved to extras/.
• profanity.json and nationalities.json moved to the resource root (no longer Lua tables).
• Schema x-arrayKey used on lifestyles + spawnLocations + characterPositions + characterStates so smartMerge identifies entries cleanly across saves.
• lifestyles/ folder removed — all the per-lifestyle init.lua template stubs were entirely commented out and the new scriptConfig flow obsoletes them. Custom Lua-side lifestyles can still be registered from other resources via exports.dirk_multichar:registerLifestyle(id, data).
• React-side getStateInfo() now derives from useScriptConfig.characterStates instead of a parallel hardcoded Zustand store, so the React copy can no longer drift from the Lua copy.
• web/src/stores/basic.ts removed too — every consumer now reads from useScriptConfig directly so admin saves propagate everywhere live.

#Bug fixes

• Fixed character customisation handoff to illenium-appearance (QBX) — appearance UI now opens reliably on character creation by routing through qb-clothes:client:CreateFirstCharacter and matching illenium's exact default camera offsets so the cut between our hold-cam and illenium's cam is invisible.
• Fixed NUI_READY callback collision that left /dirk_multichar permanently showing "Settings UI is still loading" — now listens for dirk_lib's nuiReady event instead of overwriting its handler.
• Fixed basic.totalSlots (legacy field name) referenced in server/main.lua — now correctly reads basic.maxSlots.
• Fixed lockup where saving the configurator with an empty vipRoles default + x-arrayKey caused smartMerge to silently drop every entry on load.
• Fixed useFormField calls that silently degraded to any because the generic was given the field value type instead of the parent form shape.
• Fixed module-load deadlock where lib.scriptConfig.get('basic') at client file top awaited a server callback before the rest of nui.lua could execute, leaving openMultichar undefined. Client files now use .on for module-scope snapshots and only call .get inside function bodies.
• Walk-and-set position picker now properly hides every body child (including Mantine portal modals) while picking, via a data-dirk-picking body attribute + injected CSS rule.
• Multichar slot count + admin-editable basics update live in the UI as soon as the admin saves them — no more "saved 6 slots, still shows 5 until reopen".
• Scene atmosphere time/weather now sticks even when a third-party time-sync resource (vSync / qb-weathersync / etc.) tries to override the clock every tick — a 250ms re-apply loop keeps our value pinned for as long as we own the scene, then exits cleanly so the bridge takes back over.

#dirk_lib + dirk-cfx-react improvements

• lib.scriptConfig.setBackHandler(fn) added — one-shot hook for consumers that open the configurator from their own UI and want Back / Esc / close to return to that UI instead of dirk_lib's chooser list. Drained on every exit path so focus stays claimed by the consumer.
• Client-side lib.scriptConfig.get(path) now supports dot-paths like the server side already did (e.g. lib.scriptConfig.get('basic.time.hour')).
• <ConfigPanel> title shrunk to size="md" + flex: 1 + overflow: hidden on the title container so longer resource names don't truncate to ellipsis.
• Vector2/3/4Schema Zod types added to dirk-cfx-react so consumers stop redefining them.

Update 1.1.2 09/09/2025

• Changed some of the buttons/backgrounds to darker theming to match other resources better.
• Altered Button.tsx to fit better with theming
