Pawal’s Blackout Mission is an ESX resource for triggering a blackout through a mission. The original repository includes the pw-blackout folder and RageUI files. Use the creator’s source and check its dependencies before integrating it with an existing city.
Original Blackout Mission repository
Check the files actually loaded
The reviewed manifest loads mysql-async and ox_lib. The README also names ESX, utkuali’s fingerprint minigame and baguscodestudio’s lockpick. Do not read the broad “OX support” label as confirmation that every database or inventory replacement works without adaptation.
Configuration lives under config/config.lua and config/config_server.lua. Keep the inner resource folder named pw-blackout and use ensure pw-blackout after its dependencies. Linux folder names are case-sensitive; PW-blackout is a different name.
Integrate with existing city systems
Check which resource currently owns time, weather, power state and police dispatch. Choose one owner for each function and adapt the mission’s integration points deliberately. Two scripts repeatedly changing the blackout state can undo each other’s work.
Acceptance checks before release
On a test server, run a successful mission and a failed attempt. Check entry costs, cooldowns, police alerts and whether power returns. Repeat after reconnecting and restarting the resource. Confirm that a failed mission cannot take money twice or leave the city permanently dark.
