Installation

Install GKS Tablet — database, framework, inventory, media upload, and start order.

GKS Tablet

Included with every GKSPHONE V2 licence

gks-tablet ships inside the GKSPHONE V2 download, in the same [phone] folder. If you have already followed GKSPHONE Installation, the files are in place — only the steps below are specific to the tablet.

Import the database

The tablet has no auto-setup. Config.DatabaseAutoSetup on the phone does not cover it, so import the schema by hand:

gks-tablet/install.sql

install.sql is the only schema file in the download and holds the complete set: the tablet's own tables (gks_tablet_*) and the MDT (gks_mdt_*).

The newer EMS modules — bulletins, group chat, conditions and tags — and the grade permissions create their own tables on start if they are missing, so an existing database picks them up without a re-import.

Set the framework

In gks-tablet/config/config.lua:

Config.Framework = "auto"   -- esx | qb | qbx | standalone | auto

Keep it matched to whatever you set on the phone.

Set the inventory

Config.InventoryScript = "auto"   -- auto | ox_inventory | none

The tablet supports ox_inventory only. The phone's other adapters — qb, qs, tgiann, core — do not exist here. auto picks ox_inventory when it is running, otherwise nothing. For any other inventory you need to write an adapter: Custom Inventory.

Decide how it opens

By default the tablet needs no item and opens with a key or command:

Config.TabletItemRequire = false     -- true: an inventory item is required
Config.TabletItemName    = "tablet"
Config.TabletCommand     = "tablet"  -- /tablet
Config.TabletKey         = "F7"
Config.TabletKeyEnabled  = true      -- false: item-only, no key and no command

Turning TabletItemRequire on means adding a tablet item to ox_inventory as well.

Add media upload tokens

The Camera and Gallery apps upload through an external host, configured in gks-tablet/config/serverconfig.lua exactly like the phone's:

Cfg.MediaService   = "fivemanage"   -- "gksmedia" | "fivemanage" | "customMedia"
Cfg.AuthTokenImage = ""
Cfg.AuthTokenAudio = ""
Cfg.AuthTokenVideo = ""

This is a separate file from the phone's — filling in gksphone/config/serverconfig.lua does not configure the tablet. Photos silently fail if these are left empty.

Add it to server.cfg

oxmysql first, and the phone before the tablet if you run both:

ensure oxmysql
ensure es_extended        # or qb-core / qbx_core
ensure ox_inventory
ensure [phone]            # covers gksphone and gks-tablet together

Keeping both in [phone] means one ensure line. Starting them separately works too, as long as oxmysql is up first.

Start and check

The console shows gks-tablet starting with no red errors.
gks_tablet, the gks_tablet_* tables and the gks_mdt_* tables exist in your database.
F7 or /tablet opens it.
A police-jobbed character sees the Police MDT; everyone else does not.
Taking a photo in the Camera app produces an image.

Configuration

Apps, dock, jobs and dispatch.
