Tebex / Asset Escrow Release

Tebex / Asset Escrow Release

Production packaging and distribution notes.

Applies to: Nord Inventory v2.0.0

Tebex / Asset Escrow release

This package is structured as the production distribution of Nord Inventory.

Resource name

Keep the installed resource folder named exactly:

nord_inventory

Start oxmysql before the inventory:

ensure oxmysql
ensure nord_inventory

What stays open

Nord Inventory intentionally keeps only the parts a server owner or integration developer may reasonably need to edit outside Asset Escrow.

Owner configuration

Everything under config/ stays open:

config/
├── core.lua
├── commands.lua
├── inventory.lua
├── bridges.lua
├── vehicles.lua
├── world.lua
├── items.lua
├── ui.lua
├── stashes.lua
├── locales.lua
└── admin.lua

There is no root config.lua and no server/config.lua.

Compatibility bridges

Framework/provider compatibility stays open so a server can adapt Nord Inventory without modifying its protected core:

server/bridge/
├── framework/
│   ├── core.lua
│   ├── standalone.lua
│   ├── qb.lua
│   ├── qbox.lua
│   ├── esx.lua
│   ├── nord.lua
│   └── custom.lua
├── permissions.lua
├── notify.lua
└── textui.lua

The client bridge layer is open as well:

client/bridge/
├── common.lua
├── notify.lua
├── target.lua
└── textui.lua

Use server/bridge/framework/custom.lua for unsupported frameworks instead of changing the inventory core.

Data intended for owner edits

These files also remain open:

  • shared/items.lua
  • shared/weapons.lua
  • shared/vehicles.lua
  • shared/categories.lua
  • locales/en.json
  • locales/pt.json
  • item images under web/images/items/

What stays protected

The inventory engine, database/registry implementation, Admin Studio server actions, provider ecosystem implementation, runtime transaction logic and the main NUI source remain protected by Asset Escrow.

In particular, do not add the following to escrow_ignore:

server/core/ecosystem.lua

That file contains the Nord Lab curated Recommended Scripts catalog. Server owners can choose whether the read-only button is visible through Config.Ecosystem.ShowRecommendedScripts, but cannot edit the catalog itself.

Framework bridge layout

Set the framework in config/core.lua:

Config.Framework = 'auto'

Supported values:

auto
qb
qbox
esx
nord
standalone
custom

auto detects Qbox, QB-Core, ESX and Nord Core in that order. If an explicitly configured framework is unavailable, Nord falls back safely to standalone identifiers and logs the reason.

Client download footprint

Documentation, changelogs and SQL files are included in the Tebex ZIP for server owners, but are deliberately not listed in the manifest files block. Connecting players only download the runtime NUI/locales/item artwork required by the resource.

Encryption note

A source ZIP is not itself Cfx.re-encrypted. FiveM Asset Escrow protection is applied when Nord Lab publishes the resource through the Cfx.re/Tebex Asset Escrow pipeline.

Before publishing, verify that:

  1. fxmanifest.lua contains the intended escrow_ignore list.
  2. server/core/ecosystem.lua is not ignored.
  3. No protected server/core/, server/modules/, client/core/ or client/modules/ file was accidentally added to the ignore list.
  4. The resource folder is named nord_inventory.
  5. The production checklist passes on a staging FXServer.
