QBCore to Qbox migration
Qbox began as a QBCore fork and keeps backwards compatibility as a goal, which is exactly why people migrate: a more actively maintained, ox-native base without throwing away their QBCore scripts. QBCore development stalled, Qbox is the successor people are moving to. But "compatible" is not "identical." This lesson sets realistic expectations and gives you a staged plan.
A staged migration
Back up and stand up a test server
Full database backup, then clone the server onto a test environment. Match the live server's artifact (FXServer) version and sv_enforceGameBuild on the test box so what you prove there holds in production. Every step below happens on the test server first. Never migrate live.
Install the ox dependency stack
Qbox is ox-native, so the modern dependency spine must be in place before qbx_core. Install and start oxmysql, ox_lib, and ox_inventory, in order, with no missing-dependency errors. These are Overextended resources, so pull them from the Overextended GitHub releases, not from a QBCore bundle.
