Unlike strict economy servers (like ESX or QbCore), vMenu servers are usually fast-paced, action-oriented, and focused on freeroam roleplay, drifting, or PVP. Therefore, your vMenu loading screen template should reflect that energetic vibe.
The vMenu Aesthetic
Players joining a vMenu server want to get straight into the action. Your loading screen should hype them up. Key design elements for a vMenu server include:
- High-Energy Music: Phonk, drift-phonk, trap, or upbeat electronic music fits perfectly.
- Cinematic Video Backgrounds: A montage of car meets, police chases, and shootouts tells players exactly what kind of server they are joining.
- Bold Typography: Large, aggressive fonts (like Bebas Neue, Impact, or Anton) work better than delicate, elegant fonts.
Key Features to Include
Staff List
vMenu servers often require active moderation to prevent RDM (Random Deathmatch) or griefing. Displaying your active admin team on the loading screen shows new players that the server is actively monitored.
Keybind Cheat Sheet
Since vMenu relies heavily on custom menus, displaying the main keybind (e.g., "Press 'M' to open vMenu") is crucial for new players who might be used to different frameworks.
Building Your vMenu Screen Instantly
You don't need to download outdated templates from forums. Using ViceForge Builder, you can create a custom vMenu loading screen in minutes.
Recommended Templates:
- Vice Neon: Perfect for drift and underground racing vMenu servers.
- Carbon Racing: Clean, aggressive, and highly readable.
- Vice Stealth: Dark mode perfection for tactical roleplay or gang-war servers.
To get started, simply open the builder, select the 'Carbon Racing' template, paste a YouTube link to your server's hype video, and click Export. It's fully compatible with any vMenu server out of the box.
