This is a script for handling spatial 3D audio for FiveM, via NUI and audio files stored within the script.

Big thanks to ultrahacx and Vasco_Ferreira for their resources and work with Howler that helped with my understanding of the library and motivation to further the idea. Big thanks to the other xyz devs also for keeping me motivated.

All of the interactions with this resource can be made through server-side exports. It's important to keep the uniqueId for each sound source truly unique. Sound files are stored in the html/sounds folder and can be .ogg, .mp3, .weba format. Howler does support other formats, and to add them, you will have to expand your fxmanifest.
