OLS Base

OLS Base is the shared layer for OceanLineStudios resources. It connects your server to ESX, QBCore, or Qbox (whichever core you run), loads config.lua, and provides the glue other OLS scripts rely on.

Note

This documentation covers server-owner settings only: installation order, which framework is used, and config.lua. It does not describe internal developer utilities (OLS.Utils, exports, or imports.lua).

Dependencies (manifest)

OLS Base requires:

You must also run one supported framework core — see Framework.

Quick install

Start your framework

Ensure only the stack you use (e.g. es_extended for ESX) is installed and started.

Start oxmysql and ox_lib

These must be running before ols_base.

Start ols_base

Add ensure ols_base after the above, then start any OceanLineStudios resources (e.g. OLS HUD).
