Installation

nexdev_scalemenu installs by dragging a single folder in and ensuring it. There is no build step — the UI ships ready to use. The only hard dependency is oxmysql.

Requirements

Requirement	Notes
FiveM server	Any recent artifacts
`oxmysql`	Required. Must start before this resource
ESX / QBCore / Qbox	Optional. Auto-detected, falls back to standalone

Steps

Drop the nexdev_scalemenu folder into your resources/ tree. Any subfolder works, for example resources/[nex]/.

In server.cfg, ensure it after oxmysql and your framework:

ensure oxmysql
ensure qbx_core           # or es_extended / qb-core / nothing for standalone
ensure nexdev_scalemenu

(Optional) Open config.lua and adjust ranges, presets, permissions, or UI tokens. See Configuration.

That’s it. Start the server and the menu is ready.

oxmysql must be started before nexdev_scalemenu. If it starts after, the table cannot be created and scales will not save or load. Put ensure oxmysql first in server.cfg.

Database

The nexdev_scalemenu table is created automatically the first time the resource starts — there is no SQL to import. It is created with CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS, so it is safe across restarts.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `nexdev_scalemenu` (
    `identifier` VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
    `height` DECIMAL(5,3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 1.000,
    `body` DECIMAL(5,3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 1.000,
    `updated_at` TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    PRIMARY KEY (`identifier`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;

Column	Type	Notes
`identifier`	`VARCHAR(64)`	Character key — `citizenid` (Qbox/QBCore), `identifier` (ESX), or `license` (standalone)
`height`	`DECIMAL(5,3)`	Stored vertical scale, default `1.000`
`body`	`DECIMAL(5,3)`	Stored width/depth multiplier, default `1.000`
`updated_at`	`TIMESTAMP`	Auto-updated on every write

A default scale (1.0 / 1.0) deletes the player’s row rather than storing it, so the table only ever holds players who are actually scaled.

Verifying the install

Start the server and run /scale. The menu should open with the cinematic camera.
Adjust the sliders, confirm, then reconnect — your scale should be restored.
If the menu does not open or scales do not persist, see Troubleshooting.
