Before you buy

What Aurora HUD costs to run, what it needs, what you can edit, and what happens after you pay.

The answers a server owner usually wants before paying, in one place. Each one links to the page that goes further.

What does it cost to run?

Situation	`resmon`
On foot	0.00 – 0.01 ms
Driving	0.03 ms

Measured over long sessions on a Ryzen 5 3600 with an RTX 3050, deliberately a mid-tier build. Driving is the expensive case, because that is when the speedometer, the fuel gauge and the vehicle widgets are all live. Full conditions on Performance.

What does it need?

Requirement	Detail
`ox_lib`	Free and open-source, by Overextended
`oxmysql`	Free and open-source, same author
Lua 5.4	The manifest declares `lua54`
The folder name	Has to stay `aurora_hud`. Every export is addressed through it
Database	Nothing to import. One table is created on first start
OneSync	Enabled
Game build 3258 or newer	For electric vehicle detection only

Postal codes are optional and need nearest-postal. The widget stays hidden until that resource runs.

Which frameworks does it work with?

Qbox, QBCore, ESX, or none. It is detected at start-up and the framework is not declared anywhere in the config.

On a standalone server the framework-fed widgets (job, wallet, hunger, thirst) stay dark until another script feeds them through the exports.

What can I edit after buying?

The resource ships through asset escrow. These paths stay readable and editable on your server:

escrow_ignore {
    'config/*.lua',
    'config/locales/*.json',
    'config/logos/*.png',
    'config/logos/*.jpg',
    'config/logos/*.jpeg',
    'config/logos/*.webp',
    'config/logos/*.gif',
}

That covers which of your scripts the HUD talks to, the inventory and framework adapters, the language files, and your server logo. Everything else is encrypted and you cannot read or change it: the client modules, the server logic and the interface.

Most of what a HUD usually asks a config file for is not in there at all. Widgets, colours, positions, opacity and keybinds are set from the /hud menu in game, by each player, and saved to their account.

What happens if one of my scripts does not fit?

Every adapter runs inside a guard. A missing export or a renamed resource does not stop the HUD: it carries on with its own behaviour, and Roll Call names what failed in /hud → Support.

If you already run your own seatbelt, indicators or cruise control, turn the HUD feature off and feed the icons through the exports. While a HUD feature is on, it is the source of truth for that icon.

How do updates reach me?

Through the same Cfx.re portal entry the purchase landed in. Updates cost nothing and there is no subscription: the price is paid once. What changed in each version is on the changelog.

Who answers when something breaks?

I do. Aurora is one developer, support runs through a ticket in the Discord, and I answer them myself, in the order they arrive. There is nobody on call overnight.

Before opening a ticket, /hud → Support already names most configuration mismatches, and Troubleshooting covers the rest.

Can I get a refund?

Usually yes, when the resource does not do what this documentation says it does and it cannot be fixed in a reasonable time, when you were charged twice, or when you bought the wrong product and have not downloaded it.

Usually no, when you changed your mind, when the server project was abandoned, or when it conflicts with something this page told you it would conflict with. The full policy, including how the EU withdrawal right applies to instantly delivered digital content, is on Refunds.

What it will not do for you

You cannot read or change the logic. Asset escrow encrypts everything outside the paths listed above. If you need the source, this is not the resource for you.
It takes over the minimap, with replacement round and square masks and control of when the radar shows. Another resource streaming minimap files fights it.
It suppresses the native HUD components while cinematic mode is on, and nothing else is suppressed permanently. An existing HUD resource will draw on top of this one, so stop it.
Outside the three frameworks nothing is automatic. A standalone server feeds the widgets itself.

Installation lists the conflicts in full, before you spend anything.

Who am I buying from?

Aurora Scripts, one developer, in Portugal.

The sale itself is not mine. I license the resource to Tebex and Tebex resells that licence to you as seller of record, which is why invoices, tax and chargebacks are handled there. What you buy is the licence, and it follows the Cfx.re account you bought with. The terms are on Licence.
