Installation

1. Prerequisite: Base Chat Resource

First, ensure you have the latest version of the default CitizenFX chat resource.

• Source: CitizenFX GitHub - Chat Resource

• Note: Download the entire folder and place it in your resources directory.

2. Update Server Artifacts

Your server must be running on a modern build to support the script's logic. Ensure your artifacts version is 5181 or higher.

• Windows: Download latest master

• Linux: Download latest proot

3. Load Order (Server.cfg)

Open your server.cfg and ensure the resources are initialized in this specific sequence:

Plaintext

ensure chat
ensure GuardianChatV1

Important: The base chat resource must start before Guardian Chat to allow the UI and message events to initialize properly.
