❓ Q: "Attempt to index a nil value (field 'FWB')" error on server start?

Cause

This error occurs because fs_bridge is missing, not started, or not running on your server before fs_fraud initializes.

Solution

1. Ensure fs_bridge is installed in your resources/[fs]/ folder alongside fs_fraud.
2. In your server.cfg, ensure ox_lib and [fs] category folder in proper order:

   ensure ox_lib
   
   -- make sure to ensure all resources above this to make it work properly
   ensure [fs] -- ensure it as last resource

3. Update fs_bridge to the latest version.

❓ Q: Scam equipment fails to operate or shows "No Power"?

Cause

config.generator in fs_fraud/config/config.lua is set to true, but no generator is placed nearby or the generator has run out of fuel.

Solution

1. Place a generator (fs_generator) near your scam machines and ensure it is refueled with a petrol can (WEAPON_PETROLCAN).
2. If you prefer laptops (fs_laptop) to act directly as the power source without requiring a generator, open fs_fraud/config/config.lua and set config.generator = false.

❓ Q: Black-market shops fail to charge black/dirty money?

Cause

blackmoney = true is set in config.Shops, but fs_bridge is not configured with your server's dirty money item or account name.

Solution

1. Open fs_bridge/config/sh_config.lua.
2. Ensure your framework dirty money item or account (e.g. 'black_money', 'marked_bills') is properly configured in fs_bridge.
3. Restart fs_bridge and fs_fraud.

❓ Q: Contract phone fails to trigger drop call locations?

Cause

The player item name in config.Items.contractphone does not match the item registered in your inventory, or the player is not using the contract phone item correctly.

Solution

1. Open fs_fraud/config/config.lua and verify config.Items.contractphone = 'fs_contractphone'.
2. Verify that fs_contractphone is registered in your inventory items table.
3. Check config.contract_phone.points to ensure vector4 drop locations are accessible.
