Welcome! You’re probably here and going “What the heck is ContentService?” This asset has 2 names, which are:
ContentService
BetterLoadingScreen
ContentService provides a fast, intuitive way to implement a functional loading screen that doesn’t just use wait(). It uses ContentProvider to efficiently load your experience. It even supports loading TopbarPlus icons.
Automatic Installation
If you’d like to do an automatic installation, just get the model and put it in Workspace. The !README will put everything in the right place for you.
Setup
TopbarPlus users:
Go into ContentService and go to line 46. You will be instructed on how to pair this with your installed TopbarPlus.
Everything else:
To start off, let’s go into fade. It should be a LocalScript:
Next, go to line 30 and change "WhateverYouWantHere" to Presents, Present, or whatever floats your boat.
Go to authors which should be the parent of fade. You may change this to your game studio name, your name, or whatever floats your boat.
Go into LoadingBar and change version to whatever your game version is.
For manual installation:
Drop ContentService into ReplicatedFirst. Delete Custom_LoadingScreen_v1.
Customization
ContentService can be customised to fit your liking. You may edit the font of each TextLabel, change the background colour, or even add gradients. You’re free to add or remove what you want, or you can keep the default UI.
Having trouble? Don’t hesitate to reply or shoot me a DM! I will be happy to help.
Also when the first part of the words are displaying, can that time be adjusted to stay longer?
And while it is doing the words and a splash screen, why not kick off the loading of the assets in the background, so that the player is looking at stuff while the assets are being load in the background…
Or maybe kick off the content loading at the bottom, while at the top you are entertained with the words and a splash screen, or maybe kick it up and a bunch of splash screens that fade into each other… schwing!
Hi, I’m pretty inexperienced in scripting or anything really akin, therefore my apologies if something I state below is pretty… well… not comprehensible.
Whenever I play a game with this, the text after the first fade just states “Game”, is there any way to change this?
My apologies if this was a rhetorical question or was already answered.
One of my fans tried the system out but couldn’t change the ‘YourNameOrStudiohere’ text. Where is the textlabel for that? Even I have searched the entire system and could not find it.
I’m happy to announce that ContentService v2 is now in work!
ContentService v2 will be not just a loading screen, but a full suite of modular menus and screens that will be fully customisable and intuitive to work with. I’ll make it super easy for non-scripters, and it may even have its own themes. I’ll see what I can do with this, but I’m excited for this next release.
When is it going to come out?
I’m not sure as I’m focusing on other projects currently, but I plan for it to be out by the end of June.
If you have suggestions, feel free to reach out to me via DMs!
