A loading screen for ESX Legacy

ESX servers typically run esx_loadingscreen or a bundled HTML screen that has to be edited by hand. Ours is a drag-and-drop replacement hosted for you — change the server name, rules or background whenever you like and every player sees it on their next connect.

Installing on ESX Legacy

01Design the screen

Pick one of the templates, drag the widgets you want onto the canvas and set the server name, palette and rules.

02Export the resource

Download the generated resource folder. It holds an fxmanifest and a small data file, with no HTML to maintain on your side.

03Drop it into resources/

Any resource folder works. The resource is standalone, so load order and framework version do not matter.

04Add one line to server.cfg

Add the ensure line, remove the ensure line of the loading screen you were using before, and restart the server.

# server.cfg
# switch the old one off first:
# ensure es_extended

ensure ls_yourserver

Worth knowing on ESX

Disable esx_loadingscreen

Only one loadscreen resource can be active. Remove or comment out the esx_loadingscreen ensure line in server.cfg first — running both leaves players on a black screen.

No es_extended dependency

The exported resource is standalone. It does not require es_extended, so it starts before your framework and shows immediately while the rest of the server boots.

Works with ESX Legacy and older 1.x

Nothing in the resource touches ESX internals — it only uses the FiveM loadscreen directive, which is identical across ESX versions.
