RCO Creator is the part of RCO Identity that owns the journey from “I connected” to “my character is in the world.” It replaces the stock multicharacter/selection and spawn flow, while your framework continues to own the rest of the character: jobs, money, inventory, permissions and normal gameplay systems.

​
What players see

  • a character selection scene with their real saved characters;
  • locked/available character slots;
  • character creation with server-side identity validation;
  • the Appearance editor for a new character;
  • a configurable spawn selector;
  • optional Last Location behavior;
  • the final handoff into normal RSG/VORP gameplay.

​
What Creator owns

Creator is responsible for:
Appearance is responsible for the actual face/body/clothing snapshot. That separation is why Creator requires rco-appearance.

​
The important lifecycle rule

RCO does not invent a parallel framework lifecycle for every HUD, inventory or medical script to learn. On RSG, the normal player-loaded lifecycle is completed after the spawn transaction is actually ready. On VORP, Creator hands the character back through the expected VORP character/spawn lifecycle instead of trying to become a second core. Read Character lifecycle before changing a HUD or medical resource because of RCO.

​
Server-authoritative identity and spawn

The UI is a client interface, not the authority. Character slot count, identity validation, spawn choice authorization and the final character/session transition are checked server-side. For example, the spawn UI sends a location ID; it does not get to tell the server arbitrary final coordinates as truth.

​
In-game spawn management

After first setup, admins can use:
to create, move, rename, enable/disable and reorder spawn locations without editing live Lua coordinates.

​
Existing servers

Creator is designed to replace the stock RSG/VORP selector/spawn path cleanly. If you already have a third-party multicharacter with custom tables/events, treat the move as a migration project. Two character selectors should never be active for the same player.
