Complete Guide - CharSelect / Decor / Camera Configuration

This guide explains how to customize the character selection location in murphy_creator, including character limits, interiors, camera settings, and character positions.

Configuration file

All settings in this guide are located in shared/config.lua.

Section	Purpose
`Config.Slots`	Character limits and player-specific overrides
`Config.CharSelect`	Interior, spawn location, and decor
`Config.CharSelect.camera`	Camera position, target, and field of view
`Config.CharSelect.pedslots`	Character positions and animations

1. Character limits

Edit Config.Slots in shared/config.lua.

lua

Config.Slots = {
    default = 10, -- Max number of characters by default (change from 5 to 10)
 
    role = {
        superadmin = 15, -- Limit for superadmins
        admin = 10,      -- Limit for admins
        vip = 8,         -- You can add other roles
    },
 
    identifier = {
        ["steam:XXXXXXXXXX"] = 20, -- Limit for a specific player
    }
}

Priority: identifier > role > default.

2. Interior and spawn location

Edit Config.CharSelect in shared/config.lua.

2.1 Interior and spawn settings

The following excerpt shows the beginning of Config.CharSelect. Keep the remaining fields in your configuration; the camera and character positions are explained below.

lua

Config.CharSelect = {
    interior = 78337, -- Interior ID (0 = exterior)
 
    -- Position where the player spawns (charselect and creator)
    playerSpawn = {
        coords = vector3(-2785.515, -3058.224, -13.34043),
        heading = 349.0,
    },
 
    imaps = { -- IMAPs to load
        "MP006_A4SUPP_MOONSHINE03",
        "MP006_A4SUPP_MOONSHINE03_PLUG",
    },
 
    interior_sets = { -- Entity sets to activate
        "mp006_mshine_band2",
        "mp006_mshine_theme_goth",
    },

2.2 Popular RDR2 interiors

Interior	ID	IMAP
Moonshine Shack	`78337`	`MP006_A4SUPP_MOONSHINE03`
Valentine Saloon	`70145`	None
Saint Denis Saloon	`55297`	None
Blackwater Hotel	`112897`	None

Exterior locations: Set interior = 0 and leave imaps and interior_sets empty.

3. Camera configuration

Edit the camera block inside Config.CharSelect in shared/config.lua.

lua

camera = {
    coords = vector3(-2781.93, -3050.32, -11.65), -- Camera position
    target = vector3(-2781.13, -3053.62, -11.70), -- Point the camera looks at
    fov = 40.0,                                -- Field of view (30-60)
},

Parameter	Description	Recommended value
`coords`	Camera position as XYZ coordinates	Facing the characters
`target`	Point the camera looks toward	Center of the characters
`fov`	Field of view (zoom)	30-50; 40 is the standard value

4. Character positions

Edit the pedslots block inside Config.CharSelect in shared/config.lua.

lua

pedslots = {
    [1] = {
        coords = vector3(-2780.148, -3058.581, -13.34043),
        heading = 0.0,
        scenariopoint = "PROP_HUMAN_SEAT_CHAIR_TABLE_DRINKING_MOONSHINE"
    },
    [2] = {
        coords = vector3(-2782.359, -3058.382, -13.34042),
        heading = -10.0,
        scenario = "WORLD_HUMAN_SMOKE_NERVOUS_STRESSED"
    },
    -- Add as many slots as Config.Slots.default
},

Parameter	Description
`coords`	Position as `vector3(x, y, z)`
`heading`	Orientation from 0 to 360 degrees
`scenario`	Standing animation
`scenariopoint`	Sitting or prop animation

Available animations

Standing animations (scenario):

WORLD_HUMAN_SMOKE_NERVOUS_STRESSED
WORLD_HUMAN_LEAN_BACK_WALL_SMOKING
WORLD_HUMAN_LEAN_WALL_LEFT
WORLD_HUMAN_STAND_IMPATIENT
WORLD_HUMAN_DRINKING
WORLD_HUMAN_BARTENDER_CLEAN_GLASS

Sitting animations (scenariopoint):

PROP_HUMAN_SEAT_CHAIR
PROP_HUMAN_SEAT_CHAIR_TABLE_DRINKING_MOONSHINE
PROP_HUMAN_SEAT_BENCH

Important points

Provide enough character positions. The number of pedslots must be at least equal to Config.Slots.default.
Test each position. Check that the characters do not overlap.
Adjust the field of view. Increase the camera FOV when displaying many characters.
