Installation

Install the Sky Pets core resource with sky_base, OneSync, SQL, inventory items, and the correct start order.

Requirements

RequirementPurpose
sky_baseFramework, database, inventory and shared interaction bridge
OneSyncNetworked pet entities and server-side validation
Configured SQL providerPersistent ownership, settings, health, training and duel data
Configured inventory providerFood, water, treats, toys and medical items

sky_jobs_base, Police, Fire and Ambulance are optional service-dog integrations. No Node.js or Vue build is needed for the prepared customer resource.

Install

Copy the release

Put the supplied inner resource directory in your server's resources folder and name it exactly sky_pets. Do not install the repository's frontend, storage, tools, or tests directories on the server. When replacing an old release, use a clean resource directory so retired streamed assets are not left behind. Back up configuration and database data first.

The Vinewood Petshop MLO is already bundled under sky_pets/stream/Petshop/ and loaded by fxmanifest.lua. Keep the streamed files in the resource; the interior does not need a separate ensure entry.

Register inventory items

Merge the supplied docs/customer/ox_inventory.lua entries into your existing ox_inventory/data/items.lua return table, and copy the corresponding images from docs/inventory-images to ox_inventory/web/images. For another inventory, register the same item IDs through the inventory provider configured in sky_base. See Inventory items.

Start dependencies first

server.cfg
# Start your framework, database and inventory resources before sky_base.
ensure sky_base
ensure sky_pets

Start installed Sky Jobs or medical resources before sky_pets when you use their service-dog integration. Optional breed add-ons are separate and are not needed for this core installation.

Check the database and first start

Config.AutoExecuteQuery = true creates or updates the pet schema at startup. The configured sky_base database user needs schema and data privileges. If you disable automatic pet-data migration, apply the current sky_pets/import.sql before starting. Do not drop existing pet tables during an update.

First verification

Join as a regular player. Confirm the Vinewood shop opens, a preview dog renders, purchase uses the configured account, the new pet appears in the F6 menu, and it remains owned after reconnect. Then test one consumable item and one reusable toy. Browser or offline checks cannot establish that the streamed models, animations or camera placement render correctly in FiveM.

If the shop or purchase fails, use Troubleshooting and inspect both server and F8 output.
