Computer
A full desktop operating system rendered on an in-world 3D laptop. 22 windowed apps, a paired monitor and projector, per-computer identity, and an SDK for custom apps. Runs on ESX, QBCore, and QBox.
nx_computer is a desktop operating system that runs on a physical
laptop prop in the game world. Apps open in draggable, snappable
windows above a taskbar and a Start menu, with Alt+Tab cycling
between them, the way a real desktop behaves rather than a phone-style
app grid. Other players see the open laptop and its live screen over
your shoulder.
One player can run up to three displays at once: the laptop itself, a paired desk monitor, and a ceiling-mounted holographic projector. Windows drag across the seam from one display to the next. See the Displays guide for pairing and casting.
Features
- 22 windowed apps. Banking, Markets (stock and crypto trading with limit orders and price alerts), Finance, Messages, Email, Contacts, Forums, a Browser with an in-game Website Builder, Jobs, Vehicles, Darknet, Casino, Notepad, Docs, File Explorer, Terminal, Calculator, Map, Photos, Settings, NX Store, and an admin Console. Each is summarized on the Apps page.
- Per-computer identity. Every laptop item instance is its own computer: two laptops in the same pocket are two machines with separate logins. PINs are hashed server-side and every protected request is validated against a server-issued session. Details on the Security page.
- An SDK for your own apps. Any other resource can publish its
own app onto the desktop, or its own
.lcsite into the browser, with one export and no source edits. See the SDK section. - 10 languages. English, Suomi, Deutsch, Français, Português (BR),
Español, Türkçe, Nederlands, Italiano, and Polski, selected via
Config.Localewith a per-player override in Settings. - Immersive presence. A networked open laptop, a live screen for bystanders, ambient screen glow, an operator typing pose, and native GTA UI sounds.
Self-contained by default
Fonts are self-hosted; there are no runtime CDN font dependencies. The
one optional external call is the Exchange chart widget, and it degrades
gracefully when blocked. Price data behind the chart is served locally.
The Map ships its Atlas tiles with the resource; optional Satellite and
Grid styles can point at your own CDN via Config.MapTileCDN.
Framework support
Set Config.Framework to match your server. The laptop item itself is
registered in ox_inventory on every framework, since ox_inventory is
a hard dependency.
