Installation

For server-wide prerequisites (artifacts, oxmysql, ox_lib), work through the generic install guide first. This page only lists what is specific to nx_fourseasons.

Dependencies

Database import

Import sql/install.sql into the database oxmysql points at:

mysql -u <user> -p <database> < sql/install.sql

The install script creates:

• weather_settings. Required. Stores the active weather cycle and settings.
• nx_fourseasons_events. Seasonal and system event log.
• weather_logs, weather_stats, player_weather_effects. Optional analytics tables. Only populated when Config.EnableLogging = true.

The resource also auto-creates these tables on startup if they are missing, so the manual import is only required if your MySQL user lacks CREATE TABLE.

Streamed data files

nx_fourseasons ships two XML files that the game needs at stream time:

• flood.xml. Custom water plane used by gameplay and admin flooding.
• water.xml. Reset target the resource returns to after a flood.

The fxmanifest.lua already declares data_file 'WATER_FILE' 'flood.xml' and lists both XMLs in files, so no extra configuration is needed as long as the resource starts in a streamed context.

server.cfg order

ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib
# ensure your framework here (es_extended or qb-core)
ensure nx_fourseasons

If you use the newspaper stand, ox_target must be running too. The resource reads ox_target at runtime and silently skips the interaction if it is not started.

Config location

All settings live in shared/config.lua. The file is in escrow_ignore so it remains editable after install. See Configuration for every option.
