Installation

Install the resource

Download Sky Pets from the Cfx.re Portal, extract the download, and upload the sky_pets folder containing fxmanifest.lua to your server's resources directory. Keep the folder name sky_pets.

For an update, back up your configuration and database, replace the resource files with the new download, and merge your settings into the new configuration files. Keep the existing pet database.

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

Open Inventory items, choose your inventory's tab, and merge the definitions into its existing item catalogue. For ox_inventory, use ox_inventory/data/items.lua. The download's installation attachments contain installation/ox_inventory.lua and installation/inventory-images/; copy the matching images to ox_inventory/web/images/.

For ESX's database-backed inventory, apply sky_pets/import.sql manually to insert the default item rows even if automatic pet-schema migration is enabled.

Start dependencies first

# 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.
