Broadcast Hijack

Broadcast Hijack is a FiveM Lua resource for hijacking a live Weazel-style news feed, letting one player run the broadcast while the rest of the server tunes in through a full-screen spectator overlay. It combines a physical camera-and-van setup flow, a live viewer overlay with chat, reactions, polls, and donations, and an optional post-broadcast revenue-ledger heist that branches into task-driven interiors and extraction minigames.

Features

Section titled “Features”
  • Hijack-Driven Broadcast Start: Retrieve a camera from an approved van, place the rig, attach the NHD, and take over the feed.
  • Viewer Tune-In Overlay: Players can tune in with commands or a hotkey and watch through the live spectator camera.
  • Live Audience Layer: Overlay supports chat, emotes, viewer count, polls, adverts, moderation, and SuperYap donations.
  • Static/Handheld Camera Modes: Broadcaster can switch between handheld live mode and tripod static shots during the session.
  • Revenue Ledger Heist: The broadcaster can convert the active session into a kf-tasks heist route with workstation tracing, rack hacking, extraction stalls, and follow-up cash pickup stages.
  • Framework/Inventory Adapters: Supports Ox, QBCore, QBox, and ESX framework modes, plus multiple inventory adapters.

Perfect For

Section titled “Perfect For”
  • News hijack scenes where a criminal crew takes over a live feed and the whole server watches it unfold.
  • Event servers that want a broadcast layer with audience interaction, donations, and on-screen polls.
  • Crime escalation loops where a successful broadcast can turn into a second-stage payout heist.

Getting Started

Section titled “Getting Started”

  1. Download the latest version from Cfx.re Portal

    Section titled “Download the latest version from Cfx.re Portal”

  2. Download Dependencies

    Section titled “Download Dependencies”

    Recommended stack:

    • ox_lib: must be version v3.30.0 or higher.
    • ox_target: the current target integration in this resource expects ox_target.
    • ox_inventory: recommended inventory provider for the setup below.
    • kf-tasks: required for the built-in revenue-ledger heist flow.

    Supported inventory adapters in kf-broadcast:

    • ox_inventory
    • codem-inventory
    • qs-inventory
    • qs-inventory-pro
    • origen_inventory
    • tgiann-inventory

  3. Install

    Section titled “Install”

    Move the folders kf-broadcast, kf-broadcast-assets, and the dependencies above into your server’s resources directory.

  4. Add to server.cfg

    Section titled “Add to server.cfg”
    server.cfg
    ensure ox_lib
    ensure ox_target
    ensure ox_inventory
    ensure kf-tasks
    

    ensure kf-broadcast-assets
    ensure kf-broadcast

  5. Configure broadcaster access

    Section titled “Configure broadcaster access”

    By default, Config.broadcast.startAce is false and Config.broadcast.allowedGroups is empty, so any player who passes the gameplay requirements can start a broadcast. If you want to lock it down, set an ACE permission and/or allowed framework groups in config.lua.

    Optional ACE example:

    server.cfg
    add_ace group.media kf.broadcast.start allow
  6. Section titled “Add the recommended ox_inventory items”

    Add the broadcast items to your ox_inventory items config. Default location: resources/[ox]/ox_inventory/data/items.lua

    The example below is for ox_inventory. If you use another supported inventory, keep the same item names and adapt the item registration to that inventory’s format.

    items.lua
    ['kf_weazel_camera'] = {
      label = 'Weazel Camera',
      weight = 3000,
      stack = false,
      close = true,
      client = {
        export = 'kf-broadcast.deployCamera'
      }
    },
    

    ['kf_weazel_nhd'] = {
      label = 'Network Hijack Device',
      weight = 500,
      stack = false,
      close = true,
    },
    

    ['kf_weazel_revenue_ledger'] = {
      label = 'Copied Revenue Ledger',
      weight = 100,
      stack = false,
      close = true,
    },

  7. Add the images to the inventory images folder

    Section titled “Add the images to the inventory images folder”

    Add all the images files from kf-broadcast/inventory-images/ingame OR kf-broadcast/inventory-images/stylized into the ox_inventory images folder. Default location: resources/[ox]/ox_inventory/web/images

  8. Supply the broadcast hack device item through your own gameplay

    Section titled “Supply the broadcast hack device item through your own gameplay”

    Add the Network Hack Device (NHD) inventory item kf_weazel_nhd to your item dispenser method; you decide how players obtain the NHD in your server economy. Note: NHD can be disabled in the config Config.broadcast.hijack.requireNhd.

Asset Resource

Section titled “Asset Resource”

kf-broadcast-assets is required alongside kf-broadcast.

It does two jobs:

  • Streams the custom broadcast props used by the hijack flow: the camera, tripod, and NHD.
  • Streams a replacement YMAP that modifies the vehicle generator at the Weazel News HQ parking lot so a rumpo van can spawn there for the recommended setup.

This is separate from Config.broadcast.managedVans. The asset resource handles the streamed map/content side; the managed-van system is an optional server-side respawned van system in config.lua.

Commands

Section titled “Commands”
  • /tunein: viewer command to tune into the active broadcast.
  • /tuneout: viewer command to leave the active broadcast.
  • /broadcaststop: stops the active broadcast if the player has broadcast-start permission.
  • /broadcastpoll question | option 1 | option 2 | [option 3] | [option 4]: starts an audience poll during a live broadcast.
  • /broadcastpollstop: ends the active poll early.

By default, the viewer hotkey is also configured to J through Config.commands.tuneInKey.
