Setup and Installation Guide

This guide explains how to correctly install and configure C7 Advanced Notepad on your FiveM server. Follow each step carefully to ensure the framework loads and functions as intended.

1. Requirements

Before installing this script, ensure your server meets the following:

• Latest recommended FiveM artifacts

• OxMySQL installed and running (support for other database scripts is coming soon)

• A MySQL database (MariaDB recommended)

• C7-Notifications installed (for popup support) - you can download this for free on our tebex shop.

2. Download the resource from your CFX.re Portal

1

Download the latest release of the C7 Advanced Notepad

This folder should contain:

• c7-scripts-notepad

2

Extract the .zip file's

3

Place the folders into your server's resource directory

Your resources folder should look like the following:

resources/
└── [c7-scripts]
    └── c7-scripts-notifications
    └── c7-scripts-notepad

You should not change the name of the folders as this will prompt errors. Keep it as what it comes as.

3. Add to server.cfg

Add the following line to your server.cfg, preferably after your MySQL and connection resources:

ensure oxmysql (first)
ensure c7-scripts-notifications (second)
ensure c7-scripts-notepad (third)

  Url = "",                 -- e.g. "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."
