Your server has rules and nobody reads them, because they are in a Discord channel three months up, and no new player is scrolling that far to find them. This RedM guidebook script puts your server rules in the game, in a leather-bound book your players open with one key.
Your staff write it from inside the game. Type /press and you get a proper editor: headings, four typefaces, ink colour, highlighting, lists, quotes, pictures you resize by dragging a corner, YouTube, and website embeds if you want them. Hit save and everyone already online has it. No config file, no upload, no restart.
Signposts put the page where it matters. Stand on the spot, press Use my position, and choose what it carries: a title that fades in at a distance you pick, a map blip, a marker on the ground, and a prompt bound to the player's own interact key. Walk up, press it, the right page opens. A signpost can also carry its own text, for a notice that belongs to no chapter.
Lock a page to a job and it stays locked. Sheriff procedures, a doctor's reference, a gang's own page, limited to a job at a grade or above. The check runs on the server, so a player who should not see it cannot open it, cannot find it in search, and never sees the signpost at all.
Works on any RedM server - VORP, RSG Core, RedEM:RP or fully standalone, worked out at start-up with no flag to set. oxmysql is required even standalone, because the book lives in the database. That is exactly what lets pages save live instead of sitting in a config file.
