How to set a custom loading screen in GMod
Type sv_loadingurl "https://example.com/loading.html?steamid=%s&map=%m" in the server console to show that page while players join.
sv_loadingurl
Sets a web page shown to players as a custom loading screen while they join the server.
sv_loadingurl <url> Examples
sv_loadingurl "https://example.com/loading.html?steamid=%s&map=%m" Personalized loading screen.
Arguments
urlRequired- Address of the loading screen page.
What it does
The URL must start with http:// or https://. Garry's Mod replaces %s in the URL with the joining player's SteamID64 and %m with the map name, so the page can greet the player or show map info.
The game's own description: URL to show to clients while joining the server. Must start with http:// or https://
Good to know
- Keep the page light, it loads while the game is busy downloading content.
Run it on your server
On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a GMod server first.
