MetroLoad [FULLY CUSTOMISABLE] [Loading screen] - Now also free. - Garry's Mod

[IMG]http://marcuz.co.uk/MetroLoad/MetroLoad2/MetroLoad.png[/IMG] [I]Since I released this in the "CoderHire/ScriptFodder cloning thread" I figured I should just make a thread instead.[/I] [IMG]http://mrkz.me/2014-11-19_1824.png[/IMG] [B]Demonstration video:[/B] [video=youtube;g7J15rUpmVo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7J15rUpmVo[/video] [B]Live Preview[/B] [URL="http://marcuz.eu/metroload/"]http://marcuz.eu/metroload/[/URL] As the name suggests this loadingscreen is designed to remind you of the Windows 8 formerly named Metro GUI. The reason I chose to design it like this is because it looks sleek and relaxed. It isn't hard on your eyes. This is the most customisable and most feature rich loading screen so far(and now it's free). You can move boxes around, edit their content, colour, gradient colour, width, and more. There are a lot of configurations available for the background, map images, progress bar and music. [B]Requirements[/B] - A webserver with PHP installed(Preferrably 5.4) [B]Features[/B] - FULLY CONFIGURABLE! (You can configure literally everything, EASY EDITING!) - Username / SteamID - Map / Map images(Put .jpg or .png in the maps folder. Can also optionally grab from gametracker. If wanted they can also be used as a backgound image) - Random music(4 epic soundtracks included!)(Put .ogg files in music folder) - Streaming of youtube audio - Staff list - Rules list - Gamemode display - Max players display - File download, progress bar, files left and total files - Server name and server info - Responsive(It scales to screen resolution) - Set custom background image - Cycling background colours - Cycling background images - Custom community banner(You can configure whether it's centered, or to the left) - News area - Change transparency - Set one colour for all the boxes if you don't like the multi-colour metro theme - Configure text colour - Configure progress bar colours [B]Editing[/B] - fa-icons link = [url]http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/[/url] - The folders and files you want to have a look at are >config.php >boxes>row1>anyfile.php >boxes>row2>anyfile.php >boxes>row3>anyfile.php - In config.php you have all the global settings regarding the loading screen. Background colours, background images, music settings, etc. - In the row folders you have the settings for each specific box. Example, editing 1-gamemode.php will edit what shows in the blue gamemode/maxplayers box. - The 1- represents it's the first box in the row. Make it 3- and the third one 1- and they will switch places. You can add more than 3 files in one row assuming you have enough $size left. If all the boxes sizes equal 12 then you can not add any more boxes. [B]Map images[/B] - Map images are disabled by default, you can enable them in the config. - The preferred dimensions for the map images are 281x184. - Upload your images as a .png or .jpg with the map name to the maps folder. - When a map with the same name as the .png or the .jpg is played the loading screen will put that maps image up for display automatically :) [B]Cycle background colours[/B] - Cycling fading bg colours are enabled by default, you can disable them in the config. - You can modify what colours are used in the config! [B]Cycle background images[/B] - Cycling fading bg images are disabled by default, you can enable them in the config. - You can modify the timer in the config - Put your .png or .jpg images in the backgrounds folder to use this! [B]Music[/B] - Music is enabled by default, you can disable it in the config. - The music uses .ogg files, it's the only file type that seems to work properly in the GMod loading screen.( Use this converter ) - MetroLoad allows for playing of random music files. Upload your files to the music folder and the MetroLoad will randomly cycle through them. - 4 epic tracks are already included with MetroLoad, the licenses and where to find the original mp3's are below :) [B]Licenses for legal reasons[/B] - Music used: Battle of Kings by Per Kiilstofte [url]https://machinimasound.com/music/battle-of-kings[/url] Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International ([url]http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/[/url]) - Music used: Rallying the Defense by Per Kiilstofte [url]https://machinimasound.com/music/rallying-the-defense[/url] Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International ([url]http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/[/url]) - Music used: The Hyperborean Menace by Per Kiilstofte [url]https://machinimasound.com/music/the-hyperborean-menace[/url] Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International ([url]http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/[/url]) - Music used: Winter Dawn by Jens Kiilstofte [url]https://machinimasound.com/music/winter-dawn[/url] Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International ([url]http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/[/url]) THE ONLY MODIFICATION MADE IS CONVERTING THE SOUND FILES FROM MP3 TO OGG!

Now we wait for the angry purchasers of this script to throw charge backs at you :)

Well that's some nice generosity there that you're trowing at us

[QUOTE=.:ATomIC:.;46526941]Now we wait for the angry purchasers of this script to throw charge backs at you :)[/QUOTE] They're always first priority, but if they do chargebacks then be my guest. Old games go free eventually. Loadingscreens have a shorter life-span and if they deemed it worth paying for in the first place they shouldn't be mad because they could have bought a soda for the 3$ instead. Despite that I probably won't give much support to users who download it from here. I'll prioritize those who bought it.

Love you long time, Flaming. <3 And I love Metro 5 ever.

looks good

look nice

Nice job c:

Nice!

Looks really nice, kind of like a Windows 8 type of look :D

[QUOTE=Flamingsword;46542878]That's the idea, yeah :v:[/QUOTE] Shhhhh. They must never know. Jk, Love the Metro design for a loading screen.

Well that you uploaded it publicly.

On the top right, it displays your SteamID and steam icon, not the players who join. It should display the steamid and the avatar that the connector uses, right?

Is there any options that i can remove the "Metroload" logo on the left? I dont have my own, but i dont want to have anything there. What do i have to remove?

Under the img folder there's the png I think, just open it up and delete the actual contents of the png and save it. Honestly I'm keeping the logo there for a while, cause the guy who made it deserves some advertising lol
