I’ve been working on this server for about a week now, finally beginning to finish up. How would i go about putting a custom loading screen on my server? I need to know where it goes, what type of file, blah blah. I would really appreciate it, :). No trolls/rude people please. I’m just trying to grasp some basics just like everyone else did at some point.

make this a HTML



<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.css">
</head>

<body>
<iframe height="1" width="1" src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/2kGbLqDMYYI?autoplay=1" align="bottom" allowtransparency="1"> </iframe>

</body>
</html>

Change the youtube video or get rid of it

Now make a bacground of jpeg or something

and create a css.css text file



@charset "utf-8";

body{
	color: #F0F0F0;
	background: url(picture.jpg) #000 no-repeat fixed;
	font-family: "Segoe UI", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

In your folder you should have
index.html
css.css
picture.jpeg <-- you can change the extension and the name but you have to change it in the css.css

<script>
      var tag = document.createElement('script');
      tag.src = "http://www.youtube.com/player_api";
      var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
      firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(tag, firstScriptTag);

      var player;
      function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
        player = new YT.Player('player', {
          playerVars: { 'autoplay': 1, 'controls': 1,'autohide': 1,'wmode':'opaque'},
		  height: '0',
          width: '0',
          videoId: 'INSERT YOUTUBE EMBED LINK',
          events: {
            'onReady': onPlayerReady}
        });
      }

      function onPlayerReady(event) {
        event.target.setVolume(40); 
      }
</script>

Use that for the loading screen music so you can set the volume level.
