A terminal-style loading screen that streams each resource as it actually mounts, ending on an ENTER WORLD button the player presses when they are ready.

One HTML file. No npm run build, no network at render time, no node_modules.

Why one file

CEF has no internet while the loading screen renders, and an ES module script tag served from file:// fails CORS. That is why loading screens built from Nuxt or Vue so often come up as a white screen on some players' machines.

Here the CSS and JS are embedded in the single file and nothing is ever requested. It renders the same everywhere.

What you get

• Live resource mounting — read from real FiveM load events, not a fake progress bar. Players can see where it is stuck.
• An ENTER WORLD button that goes live only once the player's data is genuinely ready
• A progress bar with phase names — LOADING_MAP_DATA, SYNCHRONIZING_WORLD, LOADING_SCRIPTS
• A volume slider that remembers the setting for next time
• Cat cursors, the same set as the other X3D interfaces

Works on any core

Making it yours

The server name, the subtitle and the version in the corner are one block at the top of loadscreen.html:

var BRAND = 'SERVER';
var SUBTITLE = '// SERVER BOOT SEQUENCE';
var BUILD = 'v1.0.2';

Backgrounds and music are just files dropped next to loadscreen.html, no code change — bg.png through bg6.png (several means a crossfading slideshow every 7 seconds), bg.mp4, loop.mp3. The slideshow probes which ones exist and skips the rest.

With none of them it still runs, as a plain terminal background.

No art or music included

Deliberately. Media licensing is a separate matter from the script, and every server wants its own artwork anyway.

Note

Written from scratch; none of esx_loadingscreen's code is in it. Remove esx_loadingscreen when you install this — both claim the same loadscreen slot.
