ND_Core
ND_Core admin panel and staff tools
ND_Core keeps a character’s job among their groups, and FiveStaff reads it there
Cash and bank are kept on the character, items are ox_inventory’s, and a job is whichever of the character’s groups is marked as one. FiveStaff reads and changes each of those where ND_Core keeps it, through ND_Core while the character is loaded and through the database when they are not.

Framework data
What FiveStaff reads and changes on ND_Core
What FiveStaff reads
- The character and the names on it
- Every group the character holds, and the one marked as their job
- Cash and bank, from the character itself
- Items out of ox_inventory
- Owned vehicles, by plate
What staff can change
- Set cash or bank
- Set an item count, or remove an item
- Set the job
- Give or take an owned vehicle
- Move a vehicle to another character, or change its plate
Every one of these goes through the same pipeline as a ban: permission-checked and written to the audit log with what it was before. Item, money, job and vehicle edits can be put back in one press from the player’s profile.
What your staff can do
Run an ND_Core server from one panel
Everything below works from the web panel, from Discord and, for staff who are playing, in game. Each power is its own permission, so you choose who gets which.
Characters and the economy
Every ND_Core character with their cash, bank, groups and vehicles. Staff set cash and bank, item counts and the job, and give, move, re-plate or remove a vehicle.
- Edit inventories
- Edit money
- Edit vehicles
- Edit jobs
Players and records
Everyone who has ever joined, and everything staff did about it.
Player log and alerts
What every player actually did, searchable, with alerts you write.
Live view and calls

Reports
A player types /report in game and your team picks it up in seconds.
Bans and appeals
Bans that survive a new account, and appeals you can actually read.
Staff tools in game
Ban, warn and message from the game, with trust scores over every head.
Discord
Logs, slash commands and staff roles, in the Discord you already run.
In the panel
The screens your staff will use
Real screens from the panel, taken on our demo server, which runs QBCore. On yours, the accounts and jobs are ND_Core’s own.
Player log
What the player log picks up on ND_Core
ND_Core announces every money change, every new job and every character loaded, and ox_inventory says where every item went. FiveStaff listens to both, with no changes to your scripts.
From ND_Core
- Cash and bank changes, with the reason where the script gave one
- A new job, with its rank
- Characters loaded
With ox_inventory
- Items dropped, picked up, given, and taken from another player
- Moves into and out of stashes, boots and gloveboxes, with the plate
- Shop purchases with the price, and crafts with what went into them
- Items created from nothing, with the script that made them
- Items used, and one player searching another
On every server
- Joins and leaves
- Deaths and kills, from the game itself: how, by whom and with what
- txAdmin’s scheduled restarts and shutdowns, and resources stopped or started by hand
- Every line your scripts already send to qb-log, kept word for word
- Your own events, with one line of Lua: exports.fivestaff:logEvent
-- one line, and it is searchable by item and amount
exports.fivestaff:logEvent(source, 'drugs.weed.sold', {
item = 'weed_brick', amount = 5, price = 2500
})The log is off until you switch it on, and a category you leave off costs your server nothing. The player log and alerts

The scripts it works with on ND_Core
A server picks its inventory, its ambulance job and its clothing separately from its framework. FiveStaff looks for what is actually running and works through it.
Inventory
ND_Core runs with ox_inventory and keeps no items of its own, so items are read and changed through ox_inventory. Cash and bank stay on the character.
-
ox_inventory
Revive
Revive uses ND_Core’s own revive, the one ND_Ambulance listens for, so its knocked-down and dead states are cleared too.
-
ND_Ambulance
The small print
Where ND_Core is different
The details a tool gets wrong when it treats every framework as the same one, and what FiveStaff does instead.
A job is a group marked as one
ND_Core keeps a character’s jobs and other groups in one list, and marks which of them is the job. FiveStaff reads that list as it is and sets the job in it, rather than treating the first group it finds as somebody’s job.
Items are ox_inventory’s
ND_Core runs with ox_inventory and keeps no items of its own. Item edits go to ox_inventory, which is where the player will see them, while cash and bank stay on the character where ND_Core keeps them.
Revive uses ND_Core’s own
ND_Core has a revive of its own, and ND_Ambulance listens for it. FiveStaff uses it, so the knocked-down or dead state ND_Ambulance keeps is cleared too, rather than a player being stood up while the script still thinks they are down.
No Food and drink with ND_Status
ND_Status keeps hunger and thirst on the player’s own game, and the only way your server can fill them heals the player as well. FiveStaff does not offer Food and drink there rather than do something you did not press. ND_Core keeps no stress, so there is no Calm stress either.
Install
Put it on your ND_Core server
One resource, a few lines in server.cfg, and no changes to your framework or your scripts.
-
1
Add your server
Sign in to the panel with Discord, press Add server, give it a name and choose a plan.
-
2
Download the resource
On your server’s dashboard, press Download the resource. The fivestaff folder inside already holds your server key, so there is nothing to fill in.
-
3
Add it to server.cfg
Upload the folder to your resources, keeping its name exactly fivestaff, and add the lines opposite anywhere after ND_Core and ox_inventory start.
-
4
Restart and check
Restart, or type ensure fivestaff in the server console. Within seconds the dashboard says Online. FiveStaff finds ND_Core from its own resource, and uses ox_inventory for items.
-
5
Connect your game database
Under Settings, Database, connect a read-only database user and choose Other as the table layout. Pick ND_Core’s tables yourself on any plan, or let FiveStaff work them out on Pro, and confirm before anything is read.
ensure fivestaff
# lets FiveStaff update itself, and staff start and stop resources

Most servers never need these. They go above ensure fivestaff.
set fivestaff_framework "nd"When FiveStaff starts, the server console says which framework and inventory it is using. Try one edit on a test character before your staff use it on a player.
Why staff use it
Built for the people who keep an ND_Core server fair
A record of every player, a log of every action, and powers handed out one at a time.
One record for every player
Whichever character somebody is on, their warnings, bans, reports and notes sit on one profile, and a ban checks every identifier they connect with — so a new account is not a fresh start on your ND_Core server.
Nobody needs in-game admin
Your team is a list in the panel. Staff act from the panel, from Discord or in game with /staff, and you hand out no ace permissions to make that work.
Each power is its own permission
Edit money, Edit inventories, Edit vehicles and Edit jobs are separate permissions, so a trial moderator can read the player log without being able to set a balance.
Every change has a before
The audit log records who did what and what it was before, and item, money, job and vehicle edits can be put back in one press.
Questions people ask first
Does FiveStaff read ND_Core’s cash and bank?
Yes. ND_Core keeps both on the character, and FiveStaff reads and sets them there: through ND_Core while the character is loaded, and in your database when they are not.
Do item edits go through ox_inventory?
Yes. ND_Core runs with ox_inventory and keeps no items of its own, so a character’s items are read and changed there, which is where the player will see them.
How is a job set on ND_Core?
ND_Core keeps a character’s jobs and other groups in one list and marks which of them is the job. FiveStaff reads that list as it is, and sets the job in it.
Does Revive work on ND_Core?
Yes. It uses ND_Core’s own revive, which ND_Ambulance listens for, so the knocked-down or dead state ND_Ambulance keeps is cleared too.
Why is there no Food and drink?
ND_Status keeps hunger and thirst on the player’s own game rather than on your server, and the only way your server can fill them heals the player too. Rather than heal somebody when you pressed Food and drink, FiveStaff does not offer it there. ND_Core keeps no stress, so there is no Calm stress either.
Can staff edit a character who is offline?
Yes. A character who is not on the server is edited in your database, through your game server, so your game server has to be online for any edit.
What does the player log pick up without any changes?
Every cash and bank change ND_Core reports; a new job and its rank; characters loaded; where every item went in ox_inventory; and joins, leaves and deaths.
Can an edit be undone?
Item, money, job and vehicle edits are written to the audit log with what they were before, and can be put back from the player’s profile under Framework, Edits.
Running something else?
Each framework has a page of its own, in its own words.
