Fnx PVP Lobbies

Complete public, numbered, and private lobby configuration and API reference.

fnx-pvp-lobbies provides public, numbered, and private PVP lobbies with maps, loadouts, vehicles, respawning, permissions, stats, and leaderboards.

First installation

ensure oxmysql
ensure community_bridge

ensure fnx-pvp-panel

The resource creates its required database tables automatically. You do not need to import an SQL file.

First setup

Common issues

Lobby content is missing

IDs must match exactly across public lobby, map, and weapon tables.

Vehicle is blocked

Check allowed vehicles, excludedVehicles, and every true entry in excludedClasses.

Inventory restore fails

Check inventory mode and all weapon/ammo/component item names.

Some selected weapons are not given

The resource applies each selected weapon as one package containing the weapon, its ammunition, and selected components. If the complete package does not fit, only that weapon is skipped. The player remains in the lobby, receives every other package that fits, and sees one notification with the number of skipped weapons.

Players enter the wrong instance

Ensure all bucket bases/ranges are unique across server resources.

Text shows broken characters

Save the cfg as UTF-8; some current descriptions show a mis-decoded em dash (â€”).
