Install oxb on your server

How to put oxb on your FiveM server: the folder, the three lines of server.cfg, the start order and what each permission does.

1
Unzip the file
Leave the oxb folder directly inside resources/ (not in a subfolder nested inside another). It must end up as resources/oxb/fxmanifest.lua.
2
Add three lines to server.cfg
Put these lines at the top, before any other ensure.
3
Restart the server completely
refresh or restart oxb is not enough: close and open the server again. In the console you will see the oxb logo and how it installs itself in your resources.

server.cfg

ensure oxb
add_ace resource.oxb command allow
add_unsafe_child_process_permission "oxb"

Line	What it is for
`ensure oxb`	Starts the resource. It must go before the rest to protect every event from the first moment.
`add_ace resource.oxb command allow`	Gives it permission to run server commands (it uses it to install itself in your resources and for the console button of the panel).
`add_unsafe_child_process_permission "oxb"`	Lets it launch its helper process. Without this line, part of the protection does not start.

The three lines of server.cfg and the first start.

What happens on the first start#

oxb validates your license against api.oxbservices.com and downloads your configuration.
It installs itself in your other resources: it adds a small layer that lets it know which events, entities and weapons your own scripts order, so it does not confuse them with cheats.
The server appears Online in the panel and starts reporting players.

Useful console commands#

All of them use the oxb prefix (you can change it in Settings). They are described in Commands.
