Updating

Update an existing Fire Job installation while keeping station settings, inventory items, and custom configuration.

Before replacing files

Read the Fire Job changelog for the version you are installing, including any required dependency updates or new inventory items.
Back up your game database and the existing sky_base, sky_jobs_base, and sky_firejob resource folders. The database backup includes saved /jobconfig settings; a copy of config.lua alone does not.
Download the current packages for all three resources from CFX Portal. Keep the dependencies up to date with Fire Job.

Install the update

Stop the server before replacing the resources.
Extract each downloaded resource into its original folder name. Install the complete resource, including stream and meta, so Lua, interfaces, models, and hose weapons come from the same package.
Compare your customized open configuration files with the new supplied files. Reapply your changes while retaining any new settings required by the update. Copying an entire old configuration over the new one can discard those settings.
Add any newly required inventory items and images using Inventory Items. Keep your existing custom item names aligned with /jobconfig.
If automatic database updates are disabled, follow the SQL instructions in Installation. Use the same game database as before.
Start the server with sky_base, then sky_jobs_base, then sky_firejob. Reconnect the test players after the server is ready.

Replacing resource files does not remove your saved Job Configurator settings. Those saved values still take priority over matching defaults in config.lua. Review them in /jobconfig if a new file default appears to have no effect; see Configuration.

Check the update with two players

Complete these checks before inviting the whole department back:

Check	Expected result
Go on duty and open station storage and the garage	The intended job and grade can use their configured station features.
Take a hose from the configured fire truck	The nozzle and hose appear, and the nearby second player can see the attack hose.
Leave the area and return as the observing player	The active attack hose appears again without the operator having to take it twice.
Supply and spray water, then return the hose	The configured supply works and the hose is removed for both players.
Break a window and force the matching door	The tool appears during the action and the completed rescue state is visible to the second player.
Try the other enabled workflows your department uses	Air refill, oil cleanup, and scenarios still work with your saved settings.

For a failure, start with Troubleshooting. Include the three Sky resource versions, the exact action, and the first relevant server or F8 error when contacting support. You do not need to diagnose the code yourself.

Permissions

Configure ACE-backed administrator access for Sky Fire Job commands and protected features.

Fire and Hose System

Take a hose, operate the pump panel, connect a hydrant, and finish a firefighting response.
