1. Download your resource from Our Website or GitHub.
2. Unzip the
cd_notifications.zip folder and place this folder in your server's resource folder.3. Add the resource to your server start config (server.cfg):
ensure cd_notifications.
You MUST read all configurable options inside the
[cd_notifications/configs/config.lua] file and configure them to suit your server's needs. Please read the ”commented out help text” at the end of each line so you can understand what each config option does.

Files ChangedNot every update requires you to replace the whole folder. We do this because we understand it's a pain to redo the configs for every update.
- All Files - This means you should delete your old
cd_notificationsfolder, download and add in the latest version, reconfigure the configs folder and restart your server. - All Files Except config.lua - This means you should do all of the above (in the All Files section) but additionally make a backup of the
config.luafile and replace the new config.lua file with the one you made a backup of. - Specific Files - This means you can copy and paste the SPECIFIC new files over the old ones and restart the server.
Update TypeOn rare occasions, you are forced to update to the latest version. Mostly due to authentication updates where the old versions will no longer work.
- Mandatory - This means you MUST update to this new version, or the old versions will no longer work.
- Optional - This means it's completely your choice whether you wish to update to the latest version. But we do not offer support for old versions for obvious reasons; they are old.
Skipping Updates
If you are attempting to update to the latest version but have skipped previous updates, you should update all files just to be safe. For example., let's say you are currently on v4.0.1, you did not update when v4.0.2 was released, and now v4.0.3 is released, and you want to update; you should always use the “All Files” update method.
