Installation Steps

1. Install Dependencies

Ensure all dependencies are installed and working.

2. Download ic_arenas

Place the ic_arenas folder in your server's resources directory.

3. Add to server.cfg

# Load dependencies first
ensure oxmysql
ensure ox_lib  
ensure your_framework
ensure your_inventory
ensure your_target_system
ensure ic_lib

# Then load ic_arenas
ensure ic_arenas

4. Configure Database

The script will automatically create required tables on first start:

• arena_stats - Player statistics for each game mode (FFA, TDM, Showdown)

No manual database setup required.

5. For ox_inventory users (credits pug)

Add this block of code into ox_inventory/client.lua to the bottom

-- added for ic_arenas
exports("SetCurrentWeapon", function(ThisWeapon)
    local inArenas = LocalPlayer.state.in_arena
	
    if not inArenas and string.lower(ThisWeapon) ~= "weapon_unarmed" then return end
		if string.lower(ThisWeapon) == "weapon_unarmed" then currentWeapon = nil return end
		currentWeapon = {}
		currentWeapon.metadata = {}
		currentWeapon.metadata.durability = 100
		currentWeapon.metadata.ammo = 250
		currentWeapon.metadata.specialAmmo = "false"
		currentWeapon.timer = false
	  currentWeapon.name = ThisWeapon
end)

6. Configure the Script

Edit config.lua to customize

Verification

Test Installation

1. Start your server

2. Check console for any errors

3. Verify database table was created

4. Test in-game:

   • Locate the Arena NPC on your map

   • Open the Arena menu

   • Join a lobby

   • Test gameplay features

Common Issues

Script not starting:

• Check dependency load order in server.cfg

• Ensure ic_lib is loaded before ic_arenas

Revive not working:

• Check console for ambulance script detection

• Verify your ambulance script is in the supported list

• Implement custom revive in open_sv.lua if needed
