FAQ

Why are user interface animations are slow / laggy?

  1. If tripple buffer is enabled in your game graphics settings, then this is a known issue. Deactivate tripple buffer in your game graphics settings to increase the performance of the user interface animations. Additionally, you can deactivate MSAA and Reflextions MSAA. Lower the Particle quality. This will help too.

  2. Go into Settings > Game > NUI Acceleration of the REDM launcher and activate Fix 'UI lag'... to increase the performance of the user interface animations. IMPORTANT: RESTART THE REDM LAUNCHER FOR THE CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT!

Why does not work Shift + Numpad on Microsoft Windows operating systems in NUI?

This is a feature (not a bug) of Microsoft Windows operating systems. See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20040906-00/?p=37953 for more information. We have an idea to fix this, but it is not implemented yet because it is too much work. Use the normal number keys instead.

Why does the "Backspace" not working to close the search?

The search uses the "Backspace" key to delete the last character of the search string. To prevent confusion the "Backspace" key is disabled to close the search. Use the configured key to close the search instead.

Why does finger pointing not work if I press the finger pointing key?

There are multiple resources, like rs_rm and rs_multi that having its own finger pointing system mostly on key 4. Ensure if the key 4 is not used by another resource.

How to set up kd-clothingwheel?

  1. Place a client event anywhere in your LUA client code:

    RegisterNetEvent("OpenClothesWheel")
AddEventHandler("OpenClothesWheel", function() 
    TriggerServerEvent("kd_clotheswheel:server:getClothes")
end)

  2. Add .setEventName('OpenClothesWheel') to your emotes button in the javascript config:

    root_wheel.addButton()
    .setLabel('Clothes')
    .setIcon('your_clothes_icon.png')
    .setEventName('OpenClothesWheel'); // <-- Add this line

    This is just an example of a button in the root wheel. You can add buttons to folder wheels, too.
