GModFree forever plan
Free GMod Loading Screen
Yes — you can get a real, hosted Garry's Mod loading screen for free. The Lumescreen Free plan includes one loading screen, free professional themes, live server info and basic analytics. No credit card, no trial countdown.
It's the honest kind of free: we host it, you keep it, and you only upgrade if you want more themes, more screens or deeper analytics.
- No credit card required
- Not a trial — free forever
- Hosted on our infrastructure
What's included
Everything in the free plan
Enough to put a professional first impression in front of every player who joins your server.
Free professional themes
A selection of themes designed for GMod's in-game browser — minimal, community and streaming styles included.
Live server info
Player name and avatar, current map, gamemode and player count displayed automatically on every connect.
Custom content
Server name, description, rules and images — the essentials to make the screen yours.
Basic analytics
See how many players load your screen and how loading performs over time.
Real download progress
Native GMod engine callbacks wired into the theme: players see actual file progress while they wait.
Free vs Premium
When upgrading is worth it
Premium is €25/year — or a one-time €50 Lifetime purchase — and exists for servers that want more than one screen and the full theme catalog.
Stay on Free if…
You run one server and the free themes fit your community's style. Your screen stays online and maintained — free is not a demo.
Go Premium if…
You want all 15 themes, up to 10 loading screens for a multi-server network, music, slideshows and complete analytics (retention, devices, peak hours).
Prefer paying once?
The Lifetime option is a single payment for permanent Premium access — no subscription. Compare both on the pricing page.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Is the free loading screen really free forever?
- Yes. It's a permanent free plan, not a trial. Your screen keeps working and stays hosted whether or not you ever upgrade.
- Does the free plan add a watermark to my loading screen?
- No. Free screens are rendered exactly like Premium ones — no watermark, no banner, no degraded quality. Several free competitors do watermark their free tier; we don't.
- What's the catch compared to paid plans?
- Limits, not tricks: one screen instead of ten, the free theme selection instead of all 15, and basic instead of full analytics. Nothing expires.
- How do I install the free screen on my server?
- Exactly like a paid one: paste your screen URL into
sv_loadingurlin server.cfg. Our installation guide walks through it step by step.
