Man, I always wanted a Loading Screen with buttons, so I could put an URL link to workshop addon collection of the server...

Oh, now I see, you're self-hosting. Please, double check your own configuration, and make sure to disable SSL.

he lives in austrailia

aussie

For some reason his game can't connect to the loading screen server, which I don't even know how to deal with. Does he live in Russia or somewhere like that?

and i set it up, im using this loading screen, also heres the screenshot https://images.steamusercontent.com/ugc/10640518196848851702/9E901AB0C05E2BEB724920312508122CF23A9B07/

i can show you the screenshot from my friend

"cloudflare server offline screen" also doesn't tell me much, this is not a real error.

@freddy fazbear
The url setting isn't exposed, so you'll need to do it manually by extracting the addon and chaning the line or just wait for an update. I didn't consider people would want self hosting until recently.

@mac (2008)
If cloudflare is showing an error it means either your friend is having GMod issues or your setup was not properly done. Btw, are you self hosting? As freddy pointed out, there's no way to easily change the base url currently.

also if i self host it do i change the sv loadingurl to my loading url?

i was starting a server with this addon and it worked fine for me but when my friend joined it showed a cloudflare server offline screen like it was a normal loading screen

10/10 This Was Very Easy To Setup Very GOOOOOOOOOOD

Oh, I see.

The screen itself is just a website, so it needs a normal webhost to be usable. The files are here: https://github.com/Xalalau/GMod-OG-Loading-Screen/tree/master/host

GitHub instructions: upload the files above to a repository and enable GitHub Pages in the repository settings. Options: add a custom domain, disable "Enforce HTTPS" and deploy it. The custom domain allow us to disable "Enforce HTTPS", which is the trick to make the loading screen to work with the ancient chromium embedded in GMod (although I heard the game is finally getting updated, but not on Linux). That's it.

Unfortunately I don't know where to host it for free, the custom domain has a cost. I don't recommend web hosts like 000webhost or infinityfree because they limit the connections per day around 100 unique IPs. Maybe we can use a free subdomain on GitHub?https://freedns.afraid.org/ ?

Tell me if you manage to get it hosted, I don't have the time right now to take a look into it.

yea i know the github but, i mean the instructions

You can use github, like me.

how do i self host the og loading screen? just asking

why did they get rid of this loading screen?

It is working every time I join my server now. Thank you very much. My friends are gonna hate me! Haha.

@everybody

The loading screen was indeed broken. I’ve fixed it and improved the page speed by a trillion times. Thank you

this mod is straight up doesnt work. Nor multiplayer, nor singleplayer(""i wonder why"") . itis just white screen. I cant even update my ogl_menu option cuz site is not showing me my result

it's just a white screen now

Seems like the link went down? Doesnt work on client, server, or demo.

Я не могу посмотреть на загрузочный фон (пример загрузочного фона), я открываю страницу и просто выдаёт ошибку. + не работает в целом.

Не работает, хотя включил галочку и всё настроил и перезапускал сервер
Исправь.

doesn work for single player fix pls

I FORGOT THE NAME!!!!!!!!!! PLS HELP

WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE LOADING SCREEN THAT'S LIKE HALF LIFE 2 WHERE IT DOESNT SHOW A GMOD LOADING SCREEN OMG I FORGORNTHR NAME'

Is it working again? The host was denying hits for me until I logged in.

It doesn't work anymore..

What happened to the OG loading screen?!

addon does not work

Ye the sound was so awesome I remember. Dunno how to restore it.

I really need to find a video about the loading screen to show it. But I cannot. Maybe multiple line not sure. Need to check it.

Actually I'm not sure if the audio is working, I forgot to test it... Anyway, Chrome hates to autoplay any kind of media, so I'm not sure if this feature will survive here.

What do you mean by "The files are not jumping"? Aren't they moving correctly over the screen or aren't them moving to multiple lines? The last one is configurable.

I cant here the sound effects and the files are not jumping like it did before or it was another version?

- Added a 'Making your own changes' section to the GitHub update folder README

- Added a 'Hosting the screen' section to the GitHub update folder README

- Fixed screen to work in 2024;
- Fixed error while trying to close a nil file in menu_addon.lua;
- Added to GitHub steps for creating a loading screen gma and uploading it to the Workshop (it's a very different process compared to the normal addons);
- Added custom Windows and Linux GMad builds builds to GitHub.

If you wanna host for free. Here you can. But as I said its not important to get a website. Just set it up to ping localhost and u are finished with it. sv_loadingurl must be set to that host

You need to host a website
https://github.com/Xalalau/GMod-OG-Loading-Screen/tree/master
its in the host folder and u must change url to that site and it will work again. But all ppl will ping dat site. maybe people should ping them selve its possible to solve it. I just need a workaround it when I have time. Gmod is hosting a website when its running so u are able to host it easily just need to ping your self. Dunno which port.

I know I need to fix it

I maybe able to revive dis addon. Just needs time

someone needs to fix or remake this.

it works when you create a server
