Adding Personal Touch: How to Install Custom Load Screens in FiveM Servers

=====================================================================================

Are you tired of the same old default loading screens every time you join or connect to a FiveM server? Do you want to give your players an extra layer of immersion and personalization while they wait for their favorite game modes to load up? Look no further! In this article, we'll guide you through a simple step-by-step process on how to install custom loading screens in just minutes.

Step 1: Choose and Download a Loading Screen

----------------------------------------------

Before you can start modifying your server's appearance, you need the right tool for the job - a beautiful and thematically fitting loading screen! There are several places where you can find free or paid loadings that match any FiveM theme. Here are some suggestions:

* Visit official FiveM forums dedicated to sharing custom resources.

* Look up popular social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, or Discord servers focused on gaming communities.

Once you've found the perfect loading screen design, download it as an .zip file directly onto your computer's hard drive (not into any existing folders yet).

with a text editor such as Notepad++. You can find this by navigating to 'File' > Open and then selecting 'All Files' from the dropdown menu at the bottom left corner of the window.

Step 3: Extract Loading Screen Folder

--------------------------------

After opening your server's `server.cfg` file using an FTP client like FileZilla, navigate up one directory level until you see a folder called 'resources'. Right-click inside this area and select 'New > Folder'. Name it something descriptive yet straightforward - we'll call ours 'loadingscreen'.

Step 4: Upload Custom Loading Screen

------------------------------

Now that your new `loadingscreen` folder is created, let's upload our downloaded loading screen files into place! To do so:

1. Connect to your FiveM server using an FTP client such as FileZilla.

2. Navigate through the local site panel until you reach 'resources'.

3. Within this directory, double-click on 'loadingscreen'.

4. Inside should be several folders and files - we're interested in just one: `index.html`.

Step 5: Replace Default Loading Screen

--------------------------------

Finally! With our custom loading screen extracted into place, all that remains is to replace the default version with ours. To do this:

1. Open your text editor (like Notepad++) again.

2. Locate the line at the end of `server.cfg` which looks something like:

```

start appdata

```

3. Replace it entirely with:

```bash

# Loadingscreen settings start

loadscreen loadingscreen/index.html

# Loadingscreen settings end

```

4. Save changes and restart your FiveM server.

Voilà! With these simple steps completed, you should now see a beautiful custom loading screen each time someone joins or connects to your FiveM server - the perfect way to make them feel like they're part of something special!
