|---|---|
communityID | Your SonoranCAD Community ID. |
apiKey | API Key from your In-Game Integration settings. |

autoUpdateUrl | Where to check for updated versions. Don't touch this unless you have a reason. |
allowUpdateWithPlayers | When enabled, it will run the updates even with players on the server. The updater will stop/start all associated resources which could cause client crashes. When disabled, the resource "waits" until there are no players. |

Add the following to your server.cfg (if you don't want pNotify or wraith, leave those out):
It is very important that the sonoran_updatehelper resource is not started manually. Doing so may cause a server crash if updates are available due to a race condition.
DO NOT start the whole [sonorancad] folder as that will also start the sonoran_updatehelper which might cause crashing if it is started manually. Example of not what to do ensure [sonorancad]
Starting with framework version 2.6.2, you can override any configuration option in your config.json file by specifying a convar before the sonorancad resource starts.
This feature does not work with arrays (like statusLabels). Any other configuration option can be set using the sonoran_<configSettingHere> format.
In the CAD admin panel, navigate to: Advanced > In-Game Integration Expand the "Server Events and Integrated Live Map" section.
Enter your server's public IP address and your game server's port. By default, this is port 30120.
Set your game server port and IP address in the admin panel of Sonoran CAD. The map port can be left blank, unless you are also installing the integrated live map.
Learn more about configuring multiple servers.
You may wish to also send push events to another external web server, like a Discord bot.
In the framework configuration file, simply set enablePushEventForwarding to true and pushEventForwardUrl to your web server address.
Check out our Available Plugins to make the integration useful.
For basic functionality, we recommend at least the locations, callcommands, and postals plugins.
You can also view our standard plugin installation guide.
As of new installations, the configuration file has been renamed to prevent it being overwritten by updates. To use the radar for the first time, you must rename the file config.dist.lua within the wk_wars2x folder to config.lua.
If your framework has the primaryIdentifier set to steam in the configuration (used for your API ID type), you'll need to ensure a Steam API key is set in your server.cfg file.
You can register a new Steam API Key at http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
Then, paste it into your server.cfg
Sonoran CAD's integration framework and plugins will automatically update with the latest features, fixes, and changes!
Or, run sonoran update to instantly check and apply any updates for the framework core.

| Display information about a plugin |
| Toggle debug mode on/off |

1. Check to make sure sonoran_updatehelper or [sonorancad] is not being started in your server.cfg.
It is very important that the sonoran_updatehelper resource is not started manually. Doing so may cause a server crash if updates are available due to a race condition.
DO NOT start the whole [sonorancad] folder as that will also start the sonoran_updatehelper which might cause crashing if it is started manually. Example of not what to do ensure [sonorancad]
2. Try updating your smartsigns plugin manually to the latest version. This is done by copying over the lua files from the latest release found here and overrideing the old files.
We have gotten isolated reports of servers crashing with the following error, this is assumed to be related to having lower end VPS hardware specs and txadmin rebooting the server because the update process is taking too long.
1.) Check that the file in question is actually present in the specified file path. To find the correct path please read the example below:
In this example, you would navigate to the sonorancad resource, open the html folder and ensure the file config.js is present.
This is simply a WARNING, if the resource works AS EXPECTED, you can simply ignore the warning and continue
