Console Display Template — start.bat to PowerShell

Reference document for the custom FXServer console wrapper display format.

Banner — ANSI Shadow Font (figlet)

The banner uses the ANSI Shadow figlet font for "RED VALLEY". Because PowerShell terminals have encoding issues with Unicode characters stored directly in .ps1 files, we use a template + replacement system:

Character Mapping (ASCII → Unicode)

Console Layout Order

Phase 1: Loading Bar (single, in-place)

   Loading  resources...
   ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ 100% COMPLETE
   ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

• Green filled blocks [char]9608 + DarkGray empty blocks [char]9617
• Updates on same line using \r (carriage return)
• No blank line between loading text, bar, and separator

Phase 2: ERRORS + WARNINGS (immediately after separator)

   ■ ERRORS (Red)
     X resource_name  error description

   ■ WARNINGS (DarkYellow)
     ! resource_name  warning description

Phase 3: Categorized Resource Summary (by dev team)

Each category has a colored ■ ([char]9632) bullet and numbered [NR] entries:

Category	Color	Notes
QBCore Framework	ANSI RGB Orange (255,140,0)	PowerShell DarkYellow looks yellow, use ANSI escape
17mov Malizniakk	Magenta	17mov_CharacterSystem, 17mov-plugin-char-creator, 17mov_Hud
Quasar Store	Cyan	qs-inventory, qs-advancedgarages, qs-housing, qs-shops, qs-smartphone-pro, qs-vehiclekeys
T1GER	Yellow	t1ger_mechanic, t1ger_tuningsystem
Wasabi Scripts	Green	wasabi_police, wasabi_ambulance, wasabi_bridge
CodeM	DarkYellow	codem-mdt, codem-dispatch, codem-mdtProp
rcore	DarkCyan	rcore_casino, rcore_prison, rcore_doorlock
MLOs Map Interiors	DarkGreen	MLO entries with streaming warnings show [N warn] in DarkYellow
Other	DarkGray	ox_lib, PolyZone, pma-voice, luxu_admin, etc.

Phase 4: Status + Updates

   ■ STATUS (Green)
     + Database connected - MariaDB 10.4.32
     + cfx.re Nucleus: kotzu-el7krp.users.cfx.re

   ■ UPDATES (Magenta)
     ^ resource_name           old_ver -> new_ver

Phase 5: Footer

ANSI RGB Colors (PowerShell)

PowerShell's 16 standard colors don't include true orange. Use ANSI escape sequences:

$esc = [char]27
$orange = "$esc[38;2;255;140;0m"   # true orange
$reset = "$esc[0m"

# Usage:
Write-Host "${orange}■${reset} " -NoNewline

Note

: DarkYellow renders as yellow on most modern terminals. Always use ANSI RGB for orange.

Conversion Function (PowerShell)

function Get-BannerLine {
    param([string]$t)
    return $t.Replace('#',([string][char]9608)).Replace('>',([string][char]9559)).Replace('<',([string][char]9556)).Replace('[',([string][char]9562)).Replace(']',([string][char]9565)).Replace('~',([string][char]9552)).Replace('!',([string][char]9553))
}

Other Unicode Characters Used

Char	Code	Usage
█	[char]9608	Progress bar filled, banner
░	[char]9617	Progress bar empty
▄	[char]9604	Separator bar bottom
▀	[char]9600	Separator bar top
─	[char]9472	Thin separator line
