# Overview

Whiteboards in the world that players really use: draw, write, pin images, vote, plan on a map, and everyone nearby sees it on the board as it happens.

Chaos Whiteboard puts real whiteboards into your world. A player walks up, opens a board with ox\_target, and the camera moves in front of it. Everything they draw, write or pin appears on the board itself, for everyone nearby, as it happens. After a restart it is all still there.

## What you get

* **28 boards in five groups.** On the wall, free-standing, on and as a table, from the ceiling, and outdoors. Modelled for this resource, with collision and a medium LOD. See [The boards](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/the-boards.md).
* **A full drawing editor.** Twelve pens, shapes, stamps, 22 symbols, fifteen fonts, sticky notes, fill, lasso, groups, connectors, align and distribute, snap to grid, zoom, undo and redo. See [The editor](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/the-editor.md).
* **Drawing aids.** A ruler, corner by corner lines, smoothing, shape recognition, arrow heads, parallel lines, symmetry and a magnet. See [Pens and drawing aids](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/pens-and-drawing-aids.md).
* **Widgets that do something.** Checklists, polls, countdowns, clocks, tables, note stacks, a live on-duty list and a case board kit. See [Widgets](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/widgets.md).
* **A tactical map** of the city as a board background, with a click that sets the player's GPS. See [Tactical map](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/tactical-map.md).
* **A laser pointer** every player sets up themselves, with signal rings. See [Laser pointer](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/laser-pointer.md).
* **About 3,700 emoji**, the same pictures for every player.
* **Images from a link, and websites on a board.** See [Images and websites](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/images-and-websites.md).
* **Sheets, templates and saved layouts.** From 2 sheets on a sidewalk sign to 20 on a flip chart. See [Sheets and layouts](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/sheets-and-layouts.md).
* **Presenting and sharing.** Present mode, posting a board to Discord, boards as files. See [Presenting and sharing](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/presenting-and-sharing.md).
* **Live for everyone nearby.** Strokes show while they are being drawn, moves while they are being dragged, and players see each other's cursors and selections.
* **Permissions on every board.** Public, restricted to an owner, an editor list and jobs, or read-only. Everything is checked on the server. See [Permissions](/organized-chaos-docs/chaos-whiteboards/permissions.md).
* **Older versions and a change log**, in game and on Discord, for when someone scribbles over a briefing.
* **Saved in MySQL or without a database.** oxmysql is used when it runs, the server's KVP otherwise.
* **English and German** texts built in, and room for your own language.
* **No framework needed.** ESX, QBCore and Qbox are detected for jobs, names and items.
