Requirements

The UI ships ready to use — no build step, nothing to compile.

​
Steps

  1. Drop the nex_fishing folder into your resources, e.g. resources/[nex]/nex_fishing/.
  2. Register the items in your inventory. For ox_inventory (Qbox ships with it — no extra steps), add this to ox_inventory/data/items.lua: 
    ['basic_rod'] = { label = 'Fishing rod', stack = false, weight = 250 },
['graphite_rod'] = { label = 'Graphite rod', stack = false, weight = 350 },
['titanium_rod'] = { label = 'Titanium rod', stack = false, weight = 450 },
['worms'] = { label = 'Worms', weight = 10 },
['artificial_bait'] = { label = 'Artificial bait', weight = 30 },
['anchovy'] = { label = 'Anchovy', weight = 20 },
['trout'] = { label = 'Trout', weight = 750 },
['haddock'] = { label = 'Haddock', weight = 500 },
['salmon'] = { label = 'Salmon', weight = 1000 },
['grouper'] = { label = 'Grouper', weight = 3500 },
['piranha'] = { label = 'Piranha', weight = 1500 },
['red_snapper'] = { label = 'Red Snapper', weight = 2500 },
['mahi_mahi'] = { label = 'Mahi Mahi', weight = 3500 },
['tuna'] = { label = 'Tuna', weight = 10000 },
['shark'] = { label = 'Shark', weight = 7500 },
    The full snippet also lives in install/items.md. If you use a different inventory (qb-inventory, ps-inventory, lj-inventory, qs-inventory), register items with the same names in its item table instead.
  3. Copy the item images from install/images/ into ox_inventory/web/images/ (or your inventory’s image folder).
  4. (Optional) Import install/import.sql into your database. The resource also creates the nex_fishing table automatically on first start.
  5. Add it to server.cfg after ox_lib and oxmysql: 
    ensure ox_lib
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_target
ensure nex_fishing
  6. Restart your server.
That’s it. Grab a rod and some bait, find water, and use the rod from your inventory.
Rods are registered as usable items — there is no fishing command. Players use the rod from their inventory to start fishing.

​
Checking it worked

From F8: 
lua print(GetResourceState('nex_fishing'))
Should print started. If it prints missing or stopped, fix server.cfg and restart.

​
Updating

config/*.lua and bridge/**/*.lua are listed under escrow_ignore and are preserved across updates. Player XP and renown live in the nex_fishing MySQL table and are preserved automatically.
  1. Replace the resource files with the new version (keep your edited config/ files).
  2. Restart the server.
Installs created before the renown system are migrated automatically — the script adds the missing rep column to the nex_fishing table on start.
