wz-notes | A free note creator using inventory metadata
A lightweight, standalone note-taking system built specifically for ox_inventory. This script allows players to turn blank paper into persistent, readable notes using inventory metadata.
Features
- Metadata Powered: Notes store their text directly in the item metadata, meaning they can be traded, dropped, or stolen while keeping their message.
- Live Tooltips: Uses displayMetadata so players can see a preview of the note just by hovering over it in their inventory.
- Standalone: No framework dependencies (No QB/ESX/Qbox required), as long as you have ox_inventory and ox_lib.
- Security: Built-in character limits and basic sanitization to prevent inventory bloat.
Installation
- Download the resource and place it in your resources folder.
- Add the images (paper.png and note.png) to ox_inventory/web/images/.
- Add the following items to your ox_inventory/data/items.lua:
['paper'] = {
label = 'Blank Paper',
weight = 10,
stack = true,
close = true,
consume = 0,
description = 'A blank piece of paper, maybe you could write on it?',
},
['note'] = {
label = 'Written Note',
weight = 10,
stack = false,
close = true,
consume = 0,
description = 'A note with something written on it.',
},
