What it does

• Real loading progress with phrases per phase and effects on stage change: flash, shockwave, glitch and sparks.
• Second stage past 100%: shows each resource starting up live and rotates fun facts about the server.
• Music player with a playlist, volume and shuffle mode.
• Streamers panel with avatar, status and live viewer count (Twitch and Kick).
• Changelog with expandable cards and an image on hover.
• Rotating tips for new players.

Under the hood

• Closes manually once the player is actually in the world, so you never see the half-loaded map.
• 90 second safety net so nobody gets stuck on the screen.
• Hides GTA’s native loading indicator.
• Smoke, embers and lightning drawn on Canvas.
• Everything editable from config.js, without touching the code.
