Does it work with ESX, QBCore and QBox?

Yes. It auto-detects ESX, QBCore, QBox, ox_core and vRP, and also runs fully standalone. The player profile is normalised from whichever framework you run, with no hard coupling.

Does it replace the native GTA V pause menu?

Yes. Pressing Escape opens HZ-PauseMenu instead of the stock menu. The native GTA V Settings screen is still reachable from a card — and it gets recoloured to match your theme.

No, it runs on its own. HZ-Bridge (free) is optional and adds the live theme cascade and the in-panel admin config, so your accent and fonts follow across every HZ script.

Does it need a database?

No. There is no SQL table. Player settings (graphics, crosshair) live in client KVP per machine, with no server round-trip.

Does it depend on ox_lib?

No. Callbacks are self-contained, so there is no hard dependency — it stays compatible if you already run ox_lib.

Is the crosshair colour picker really unlimited?

Yes. Beyond the preset swatches there is a full HSV picker, so players can dial in any colour, save it as a custom preset and keep it between sessions.

No. It sits around 0.06 ms idle. The only always-on cost is the per-frame input capture that hijacks Escape, which every pause-menu replacement pays.

What is HZ-PauseMenu?

HZ-PauseMenu is a custom pause menu for FiveM that replaces the native GTA V Escape menu with a clean, fully-themed interface. It is the one surface every player sees on every server — so it turns that screen into a branded entry point: server identity, an interactive map, a character card, your Discord and a configurable shop link.

It is also a genuine settings hub. Players get a citizen file (identity, live vitals, licenses and wallet with an in-game mugshot), FPS optimisation toggles, a custom crosshair with presets and an unlimited colour picker, and a keybinds board drawn on a real keyboard. All of it follows your server theme — down to recolouring the native GTA V Settings menu.

Built to sell and drop onto an unknown server: multi-framework, no database, no hard dependency. One-time purchase, fully self-hosted.

Features in detail

Multi-framework profile, zero coupling

The citizen file is normalised from ESX, QBCore, QBox, ox_core, vRP or standalone by reading each framework directly, with HZ-Bridge only used as a fallback for anything that could not be read. Vitals, licenses, job, birthdate, phone and wallet are resolved without you touching Lua.

Player settings that persist

Graphics and crosshair settings are stored in client KVP, per machine, with no server round-trip and no SQL. FPS levers (decals, blood, shadows, distant vehicle lights, particles, draw distance, timecycle) ship off by default — a tweak the player never asked for is indistinguishable from a bug.

Crosshair and keybinds

The crosshair is drawn natively with DrawRect — a preset browser, savable custom presets, and an unlimited HSV colour picker. The keybinds board lights your bound keys on the physical keyboard with labels, tooltips and search, and a QWERTY / AZERTY toggle that actually matters.

Themed to your server

Accent, corners and fonts follow the HZ-Bridge theme cascade live. The native GTA V Settings frontend is recoloured to your accent on open and kept in sync when you change your theme.

Compatibility

Multi-framework: ESX, QBCore, QBox, ox_core, vRP — auto-detected — and full standalone.
No database. No ox_lib dependency (compatible if present).
Optional HZ-Bridge (free) for the live theme cascade and in-panel admin config.
Any recent FXServer build.

Installation

Drop HZ-PauseMenu into your resources folder.
(Optional) ensure HZ-Bridge before it for the theme and admin panel.
Add ensure HZ-PauseMenu.
Reconnect.

The default configuration works out of the box on any framework. The interface ships pre-built — no Node.js, no build step.

Performance

HZ-PauseMenu sits around 0.06 ms idle — roughly 0.4% of a single 60 FPS frame. The only always-on cost is the per-frame input capture that redirects Escape to the menu, which is inherent to replacing the pause menu. Player settings are read once from KVP, and the NUI ships as a pre-built, subsetted bundle.

Product Features

HZ-PauseMenu game tab with an interactive map card and a character card

A Home Screen, Not Just a Menu

The one screen every player opens becomes a branded hub — an interactive map and a character card over your server's identity, Discord and shop. Auto-detects ESX, QBCore, QBox, ox_core, vRP or standalone. No database.

The Citizen File

Identity, live vitals (health, armor, hunger, thirst), licenses and wallet — with a live in-game mugshot taken from the player's ped. Read straight from your framework, normalised to one clean profile, no config.

Settings landing splitting native GTA V options from player settings

GTA Settings + Your Settings

One landing splits the native GTA V options from your own player settings — FPS optimisation, crosshair and keybinds — each behind a clean card, so nothing feels bolted on.

Graphics optimisation toggles for decals, shadows, particles and draw distance

FPS Optimisation, Player-Side

Let players kill decals, blood, shadows, distant vehicle lights and particles, tighten draw distance and pick a timecycle. Saved per client in KVP, off by default, no server round-trip.

Custom crosshair with a preset browser and an unlimited colour picker

A Crosshair They'll Actually Use

A native-rendered custom reticle with a full preset browser, savable custom presets and an unlimited HSV colour picker — size, gap, thickness, dot and outline. Persists per player, renders in a few DrawRect calls.

Visual keyboard board showing bound keys with labels and tooltips

Every Key, On a Real Keyboard

A visual keyboard with your bound keys lit, each with a label, description and tooltip, plus search. Includes a QWERTY / AZERTY toggle — GTA binds the physical key, so the wrong board mislabels a whole row.

HZ-Bridge theme presets applied to the pause menu and the native GTA V menu

Your Theme, Down to the Native Menu

Colours, corners and fonts follow your HZ-Bridge preset live, no restart — and even the native GTA V Settings menu is recoloured to match your server accent. Set it once and every HZ script adopts your look.
