Open the downloaded ZIP product file and drop the folder in it somewhere in your resources folder. Add your product key (get it here) to the settings.ini

DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER.
If you change the name of the folder it will not function correctly so leave the name as it is.

/eas
will bring up the form to enter an alert. Once submitted it will broadcast to everyone on the server.
Each broadcast takes one minute to complete.
The default alert sound is alert.mp3 and you can change that to a different file but it must stay the same name and make sure it is one minute long so it matches the alert time.
CUSTOM AGENCY ALERT SOUNDS
Each agency can have it's own alert sound. They must be in .ogg format and put in the nui/sounds folder within the script. The name of the file MUST be the name of the agency in lower case with no spaces. So if the agency is National Weather Service the alert sound must be named nationalweatherservice.ogg for it to work. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY IT WILL WORK. NOT DOING IT EXACTLY LIKE THAT YOU WILL GET THE DEFAULT ALERT.
