Groups
Street Riders organises motorcycle gangs into groups. Each group is tied to specific GTA V zones, active hours, bike models, and behaviour settings.
Group Configuration
Groups are defined in [Group_XXX] sections in the INI. The XXX suffix must be listed in the Groups setting under [General].
[General]
Groups = Families, Ballas, Vagos, Salva, Default

BikeModels = BF400, SANCHEZ2
MixedVehicles = true
BikeColors = 0, 2, 38
DoWheelie = true

MixedVehicles
When MixedVehicles = true, each rider in the group gets a different bike from the list (round-robin). When false, all riders share one randomly-picked model.
BikeColors
GTA V paint color IDs applied to spawned bikes. Leave empty for game default random colours. Common values:
| ID | Colour | ID | Colour |
|---|---|---|---|
0 | Black | 88 | Yellow |
12 | Red | 120 | Purple |
27 | Blue | 135 | White |
38 | Green | 145 | Chrome |
Full list: Vehicle Colors
Active Hours
Groups only spawn during their configured time window. Hours are in 24-hour format and wrap around midnight: a group active from 18 to 4 is active from 6 PM to 4 AM.
ActiveHourStart = 18
ActiveHourEnd = 4
The global defaults apply if a group doesn't set its own:
DefaultActiveHourStart = 0
DefaultActiveHourEnd = 23
Blip Configuration
Each group can override blip appearance on the minimap. Falls back to [General] defaults if not set.
[Group_Ballas]
BlipColor = 27 ; Purple
BlipName = Ballas
Blip sprites: 226 = motorcycle, 1 = circle, 280 = player; see Blip reference.
Weapons (Optional)
Equip groups with weapons using the Weapons setting:
; Weapons = WEAPON_PISTOL, WEAPON_MICROSMG
Important: Armed riders can enter combat with other NPCs, which may interrupt their riding behaviour. This feature is being improved. If riders stop riding unexpectedly, remove the Weapons setting from the group.
