What is FR Pause Menu?
FR Pause Menu (fr_deck) is FiveRank's official resource that replaces FiveM's default grey pause menu with a cinematic crimson-and-gold glass interface.
Pressing ESC opens the full deck with side navigation across 8 shards (panels): Hub, Profile, Server, Social, Support, Podium, Settings and System. Each one can be enabled, disabled or reordered from config.lua.
Why you need it
- 🎬 Professional branding — the pause menu stops being a stock screen and becomes part of your server's identity.
- 🏆 Server leaderboard — real-time top-player ranking pulled live from the fiverank.gg API.
- 🎫 In-game support tickets — players open tickets from inside the game; your staff handles them from fiverank.gg.
- 🔗 Server-side FiveRank API — fame, ranking, follow and vote with a shared token from fiverank_guard. No secrets exposed to the client.
- 🚗 Contextual shards — behind the wheel: plate, fuel, engine and chassis. In combat: tactical status.
- 🔒 Control freeze — controls are frozen while the deck is open + close-guard against stuck cursor.
- 🔌 Auto-detected framework: ESX, QBCore, qbx_core or standalone.
- 🌍 5 official languages: ES / EN / PT / FR / DE.
- ⚙️ 100 % configurable from
config.luaandshared/brand.lua. - ⚡ Instant opening — no tablet animation, zero lag.
The 8 shards
| Shard | Function |
|---|---|
hub | Welcome screen with a status summary and quick-access buttons. |
profile | Character identity: name, job, gang and framework stats. |
server | Server info from fiverank.gg: players, ranking, votes, followers. |
social | Friends you follow on FiveRank who are connected to this server right now. |
support | In-game support tickets managed by your staff from fiverank.gg. |
podium | Real-time server leaderboard with the top players. |
settings | UI sounds, volume and menu language. |
system | Change character, disconnect, quit game. |
Contextual shards (automatic)
When Config.Contextual is enabled, the deck adds extra panels based on player state:
- Vehicle — behind the wheel: plate, model, fuel and body condition.
- Combat — while taking damage: health status and crimson visual alert.
No additional configuration required.
Philosophy
A cinematic pause menu is not a luxury: it is the screen players see most during a session. FR Pause Menu turns that moment into a server postcard instead of a grey system menu.
Requirements
| Requirement | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FiveM server (recent build) | Required | Build 6116 or higher recommended. |
| Framework (ESX / QBCore / qbx_core) or standalone | Auto-detected | Works without a framework too. |
| FiveRank integration | Optional | Without it, Fame / Social / Server shards show a placeholder. |
What if FiveRank goes down?
The pause menu keeps working normally — only sections that depend on the API (Fame, Social, Server) are hidden.
