Documentation
Use Downtown Mechanic with any framework and mechanic job: coordinates for the bays, office and doors, scheduled events, and the vanilla files the map replaces.
Downtown Mechanic does not know which framework, job or inventory you run, and does not need to: nothing in it calls another resource. It streams a building, and shares one command and two events. That is why it behaves the same on every server.

Whatever runs your mechanics — Mechanic Creator or any other job script — gives it a home by placing its points inside the workshop. These are the spots worth using, taken from the map itself:
Spot | Coordinates | Good for |
|---|---|---|
Bay 1 — lift |
| Repair, tuning or inspection zone. |
Bay 2 — lift |
| Repair, tuning or inspection zone. |
Bay 3 — lift |
| Repair, tuning or inspection zone. |
Office desks |
| Duty toggle, boss menu, invoices. |
Lounge |
| Customer waiting area, a sit-down spot. |
Tool chest |
| Stash, parts shop or crafting bench. |
Tool drawer |
| A second stash or the toolbox. |
Wheel balancers |
| Tyre and wheel jobs. |
Roller doors |
| Where bays 1, 2 and 3 open — reference for vehicle drop-off points. |
The floor sits at z ≈ 28.3. Add about 1.0 if your script expects a standing player's position rather than a point on the floor, and fine-tune each point in game with the coordinate tool you already use.
Your own resources can open the meet for you — a weekly car show, an event manager, a reward for a job milestone — with the same command an admin types:
-- server side, in your own resource
ExecuteCommand('mechanicmap 2')The layer is saved and synced exactly as if an admin had typed it. The resource needs its own ACE, and a client script can react the moment a layer opens — both are covered in Commands and Exports, with a ready-made weekly schedule.
To sit flush in the street, Downtown Mechanic replaces part of the original city block it is built in. These are the original game files it ships its own versions of:
File | What it is |
|---|---|
| The original building model. |
| Its detail model. |
| The block's collisions, standard and high detail. |
| The distant versions of the block, seen from across the city. |
Search the stream folders of your other maps for any of these names. Two resources cannot both replace the same file: the one started last wins, and the loser ends up with walls it cannot see, a floor it falls through, or the wrong building from far away. Keep one, remove the other.
Every other file in the map is new — prefixed
qs_or namedcustom_garage_door— and cannot collide with a vanilla asset, only with another copy of this map.
