⬆️ Updating from 2.x

3.0 is a rewrite. Your properties, buildings, furniture, keys, and agencies carry over on their own. Your config.lua does not, and job permissions are set up again in-game.

1
Back up the database

Make a full backup, for example with HeidiSQL or mysqldump.
2
Replace the resource

Delete the old nolag_properties folder and put in the new one. Add nolag_properties_assets from the same download, and start it before the script:
server.cfg
ensure nolag_properties_assets ensure nolag_properties
Don't copy your old config.lua into the new folder. See Config changes below.
3
Check config.lua

Open the new config.lua and set what you had before: framework, inventory, and other integrations (or leave them on auto), command names, Logs, and Keybinds.

Keep ManualSQLInjection = false. With true, the database update and the 2.x import are skipped.
4
Start the server

On the first start the script:
1. Creates the new nolag_* tables.
2. Copies every 2.x table into them. Property, building, and other IDs stay the same.
3. Moves furniture and utility data into the new format.
4. Gives every imported property Tier 3 of the storage and furniture capacity upgrades, so stashes and furniture limits don't shrink.
5. Moves your saved in-game blip and script settings, if you had any.
6. Checks the copy, then drops the 2.x tables.
7. Adds the base furniture catalog.
Watch the server console. It ends with [Migrator] Database is up to date.
5
Set up permissions

Config.RealEstateJobs is no longer read. Permissions now live in the database, per agency and job grade.
1. Give your admins the ACE in server.cfg:
server.cfg
add_ace group.admin nolag_properties.admin allow
1. Run /manageagencies. On the first start an agency is created for each job in RealEstateAgencyJobs in config.lua (realestate by default), with every permission at its default grade.
2. Check each agency's permissions and which grades get them. Your old per-permission grades from 2.x are not copied. Boss grades always get every permission of their agency.
See Real estate agencies.
6
Go through Settings

Open /properties → Settings and go through each tab. Most options from your old config.lua are here now. See In-game Settings.

3.0 splits the config in three:

Where	What
`config.lua`	Options read at start: framework and adapters, commands, keybinds, logs, shells, IPLs, MLO stash limits, loading and performance, security camera filters, the Shell Creator, and code hooks.
`/properties` → Settings	Everything you change while the server runs. Saved in the `nolag_script_settings` table.
`config.settings.lua`	The factory defaults for Settings. Used on first install, when a tab has never been saved, and by Reset. You don't need to edit it.

Where the most common 2.x options went:

2.x option	3.0 location
`ColorTheme`	Settings → Appearance
`EnableMap`, `CreationMenu`, `Tags`, `MloPrice`, `MloPriceBasedOnArea`, `PointSelectionMethods`, `LimitFreeCam`, `RestrictFreecamToZone`	Settings → Creation
`Blips`	Settings → Blips
`SellPercentage`, `DefaultBuyerType`, `EnableRenting`, `RentPercentage`, `MaxRentDays`, `DefaultSlots`, `DefaultWeight`, and the other selling and renting options	Settings → Economy
`Marketplace`	Settings → Marketplace
`InactivityDays`, `MaxPropertiesPerPlayer`, `MaxRentsPerPlayer` and their overrides	Settings → Limits & Inactivity
`ExitEnterWhileLocked`, `OpenForPreview`, `SpawnInProperty`, `AllowSelfAsKeyholder`, `Bell`, `DoorLock`, `Building`, `PropertiesPerPage`	Settings → Access
`Lockpick`	Settings → Lockpick
`PhysicalKeys`	Settings → Physical Keys
`PoliceRaid`, `PoliceLockdown`	Settings → Police
`UtilityBills`, `UtilityConsumption`	Settings → Utilities, with prices per zone in the Zone Editor
`Trash`	Settings → Trash
`StarterApartment`	Settings → Starter Apartment
`MaxFurnitureInside`, `MaxFurnitureOutside`, `DefaultFurnitureWeight`, `MaxSecurityCameras*`, `PaidIplChanges`	Settings → Furniture & Interior
`ProcessPropertiesCron`	The Cycle interval row on the Economy, Trash, and Limits & Inactivity tabs
`RealEstateJobs`	`/manageagencies`
`WardrobeObjects`, `InventoryObjects`	Furniture Catalog: set the piece's Function to the inventory or wardrobe point

The lockpick minigame, the wash and stress hooks, and the power box minigames are Lua functions, so they stay in config.lua under ConfigHooks.

Shells: packs in custom/shells/*.json load on their own when their resource is started. There are no per-pack switches in the config anymore. See Add More Shells.
IPLs: IPL data moved from ipls.lua to JSON packs in custom/ipls/. If you added your own IPLs to ipls.lua in 2.x, add them again with the IPL Editor in /properties.
Furniture: the catalog is in the database now. Pieces you added to furniture.lua in 2.x are not imported. Add them again from /properties → Furniture Catalog.

All tables now start with nolag_. If you have your own SQL, queries, or scripts that read the property tables, update the names:

2.x	3.0
`properties`	`nolag_properties`
`buildings`	`nolag_buildings`
`properties_owners`	`nolag_properties_owners`
`properties_prices`	`nolag_properties_prices`
`properties_renters`	`nolag_properties_renters`
`properties_rentprices`	`nolag_properties_rentprices`
`properties_doors`	`nolag_properties_doors`
`properties_furniture`	`nolag_properties_furniture`
`furniture_items`	`nolag_furniture_items`
`furniture_presets`	`nolag_furniture_presets`
`properties_agencies` (and the other `properties_agency_*` tables)	`nolag_properties_agencies` (and `nolag_properties_agency_*`)
`properties_contracts`	`nolag_properties_contracts`
`properties_script_settings`	`nolag_script_settings`

You don't need to import any SQL file. New database changes run on their own at each start, and the applied ones are listed in nolag_migrations.

screencapture is no longer needed. Photos upload to Fivemanage with PROPERTIES_UPLOAD_TOKEN in server.cfg. See Installation.
Integrations load as adapters. Only the file for the garage, inventory, clothing, weather, banking, dispatch, phone, and log script you use is loaded from custom/. If you edited one of those files in 2.x, copy your changes into the new file.
/testshell was removed. Edit shells from /properties → Shell Editor.
Phone apps for lb-phone and YSeries are added to phones on their own. Turn them off in Settings → Integrations.
