Custom Image or Text on the screen while loading

['LinKin]

Hello,

I was wondering if there's a way to put an image or a text on the screen while the player is downloading. Instead of the blackscreen, also, is it possible to give a resource a priority? So that it starts before other resources.

Thanks.

As far as ik, you cant, since all the resources will try to be loaded upon join, you can just make a small resource for start, and then just make a huge loadstring with other files... Just giving some ideas... Anyways, this will be easier at 1.4 with downloadFile.

I thought textCreateDisplay could do this, just make the text when the player joins(onPlayerJoin) and then Trigger a server event when the onClientResourceStart event runs.

I've seen somewhere that when a player is downloading the resources etc.. There's a blackscreen with a text on it. Saying Please wait ..

function wait ( ) 
   waiting = textCreateDisplay()                            
   textDisplayAddObserver ( waiting, source )                   
   local waitText = textCreateTextItem ( "Please Wait", 0.5, 0.5 )    
   textDisplayAddText (waiting, source )                    
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root,wait) 
  
function unwait () 
textDestroyDisplay(waiting) 
end 
addEvent("onUnwait",true) 
addEventHandler("onUnwait",root,unwait) 
  
--client 
  
destroy = true 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",root, 
function () 
if destroy  then 
triggerServerEvent("onUnwait",localPlayer) 
destroy = false 
end 
  
  

i think this must work.
