1) What Is the DarkRP Money System?

DarkRP includes a built-in economic framework that manages:

  • Starting money

  • Salaries (job income)

  • Tax system

  • ATM / banking

  • Money printers

  • Market & NPC purchase systems

A stable economy is crucial — a broken one destroys the entire server experience.

2) Installing darkrpmodification

This folder is mandatory for any custom DarkRP configuration.

 Installation Path

Download:
https://github.com/FPtje/darkrpmodification

Place it here:
garrysmod/addons/darkrpmodification

This folder controls:
✔ Jobs
✔ Salary
✔ Money configuration
✔ Custom entities
✔ Shipments
✔ F4 menu settings

Without this folder → customization won’t work.

3) Setting the Currency Symbol

Open:
darkrpmodification/lua/darkrp_config/settings.lua

Default format:

 
GM.Config.currency = "$" GM.Config.currencyFormat = "%s%u"

Examples:

Turkish Lira (₺):

 
GM.Config.currency = "₺" GM.Config.currencyFormat = "%s%u"

Euro (€):

 
GM.Config.currency = "€"

4) Configuring Job Salaries

File path:
darkrpmodification/lua/darkrp_customthings/jobs.lua

Example job:

 
TEAM_POLICE = DarkRP.createJob("Police Officer", { color = Color(25, 25, 170, 255), model = "models/player/police.mdl", description = "Serve and protect the city.", weapons = {"arrest_stick", "stunstick", "door_ram"}, command = "police", max = 4, salary = 75, admin = 0, vote = false, })

salary = 75 → player receives 75 every pay period.

 Recommended Salary Balance Table (2025)

Job Recommended Salary
Police 75–120
Medic 60–90
Mayor 120–200
Citizen 45–70
Gun Dealer 55–75
Banker 80–120
Thief / Mafia 50–80

Too much salary → inflation & economy collapse.
Too low → players quit.

Balance is key.

5) Adding Money-Related Entities (Custom Entities)

Path:
darkrpmodification/lua/darkrp_customthings/entities.lua

Example money printer:

 
DarkRP.createEntity("Basic Money Printer", { ent = "money_printer_basic", model = "models/props_c17/consolebox01a.mdl", price = 2000, max = 3, cmd = "buymoneyprinter", })

Example cash entity:

 
DarkRP.createEntity("Cash Bag", { ent = "cash_bag", model = "models/props_junk/garbage_bag001a.mdl", price = 500, max = 10, cmd = "buycashbag", })

6) ATM & Banking Systems

DarkRP requires extra addons for banking.

Most popular systems:

  • GTerminal

  • ZATM

  • DarkRP Bank NPC

  • Bank Robbery add-ons

General setup:

  1. Add addon to Workshop Collection

  2. Spawn NPCs & ATMs in the map

  3. Configure Lua settings inside the addon folder

7) How to Balance a DarkRP Economy

If you don’t balance the economy, it collapses in 24–48 hours.

Tips:

✔ Limit money printers
✔ Use balanced salaries
✔ Adjust item prices
✔ Enable taxes

Open settings.lua:

 
GM.Config.tax = true GM.Config.taxrate = 0.05

5% tax helps prevent inflation.

8) Common Mistakes & Solutions

 Salaries not working

✔ Comma errors in jobs.lua
✔ Incorrect syntax
✔ Wrong job structure

 Money printer doesn’t appear

✔ Missing model
✔ Wrong entity class
✔ Missing workshop addon

 Currency won’t change

✔ Server not restarted
✔ Old cache still active

 ATM system not working

✔ Missing required dependencies
✔ Broken Lua script
✔ NPC not configured

9) Performance Recommendations

DarkRP is extremely resource-intensive.

Causes of lag:

  • Too many active money printers

  • High salary intervals

  • Heavy entity scripts

  • Massive collections (500+ addons)

Ideal settings:

✔ Tickrate: 66
✔ Max printers per player: 2–3
✔ Max salary: 200
✔ Clean entities every map restart

 10) Recommended Hosting for DarkRP Servers

DarkRP requires high single-core performance, especially when printers, salaries, and economy systems are active.

✔ ServerTurk Ryzen 9 7950X

  • Extremely high FPS

  • Very low latency

  • Fast economic processing

  • NVMe Gen4 SSD

  • Full DDoS protection

  • Perfect for DarkRP, TTT, Sandbox and more
