Simple GMod Loading Screen

About

I got tired of all these "welcome to my server, here's a thousand things to read" loading screens, so I created a minimal screen for my server.

This doesn't have all the bells and whistles of "you're on your way to <host>, playing <map>!" with music playing in the background. It's just a spinner and some text that changes. Very reminicent of GMod 10's default loading screen.

Installation

1. Clone this repo onto your webserver somewhere
2. Download jQuery 2.x
3. Rename jquery-2.x.x.min.js to jquery.js
4. Place jquery.js in the js/thirdparty folder
5. Edit phrases.json to include all the phrases you'd like to display to your user
6. In you server's server.cfg, modify sv_loadingurl to point to this page.
