serverside

root = getRootElement () 
function PlayerJoin () 
    triggerClientEvent ( source, "displayLogo", source, true ) 
    setTimer ( triggerClientEvent, 2000, 1, source, "displayLogo", source, false ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, PlayerJoin ) 

clientside

addEvent("displayLogo", true) 
function displayLogo(toggle) 
    if (toggle == true) then 
        local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
        Logo = guiCreateStaticImage(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight, 'serverlogo.bmp', false, nil) 
    else 
        destroyElement(Logo) 
        Logo = nil 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("displayLogo", getRootElement(), displayLogo) 

in xml add your picture directory

then (clientside.lua,serverside.lua,yourepicture.format,xml) put in zip

Yes

serverside

local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize() 
        Logo = guiCreateStaticImage(0, 0, screenWidth, screenHeight, 'serverlogo.bmp', false, nil) 

You can replace those 2 lines with 1

        Logo = guiCreateStaticImage(0, 0, 1, 1, 'serverlogo.bmp', true ) 

BTW, I wouldn't recommend using BMP since they are quite heavy and is really old. I'd recommend using PNG or JPG.

You can use jpg,png,bmp and other common image formats. Its just that all the default resources use PNG (and imo its better than jpeg)

Oww, so you can also use a gif image. I should test that one out. But look png are bigger files then, jpeg/jpg. That is better for the client, less download.

Yes GIF works too but if it's an animated GIF then it will stop on the first frame. JPGs are lighter but worse quality. I always used PNG for everything, they also support alpha channel so you don't have solid color background but instead it's transparent.
