Put simply, 5M Loading is just another loading screen for FiveM.
Put in more detail, 5M Loading is a feature-rich, customizable, and lightweight loading screen. Some of its notable features are:
- Play music from YouTube or Soundcloud while you wait for loading.
- Show the time elapsed for loading into the game
- Easy to customize footer text
- Add a logo to your loading screen
Put into even more grave detail, all of this is planned and most of it hasn't been done yet. I'm only now starting to dabble in FiveM modding. If I like it, you can expect a bit more of this in future, as well as for other games.
Installation of 5M Loading (and just about any other FiveM addon) is super simple. Add the 5m_loading folder to the resources folder (usually under server-data/resourcesor similar). Then, edit your server.cfg file to have start 5m_loading (use ensure instead of start if you don't want the server to work without the loading screen). If you're installing from source, copy all of this (you can exclude the .github/ folder and the .gitignore and README.md files if you really want to; everything else is important) into a folder titled "5m_loading." Then, follow the instructions from before.
There are a good chunk of themes baked into 5m_loading, here are just a few.
This was inspired from the lack of FiveM loading screens that cut it for me. I wanted to have something simple and clean that I could run on my private server I play with my mates on. This seemed to be the only way. Thanks also to Rishi for helping debug some of the music issues and help simplify chunks.
