The FiveM pause-menu map, restyled with the radar

One resource, both maps

The radar and the pause map read the same texture dictionaries. There is no second product and no separate install: the folder you drop in changes the corner of the screen and the full-screen map together, and they cannot drift out of sync because they are the same files.

That also means the pause map decides how much resolution you need. A map that looks fine on a radar can look soft the moment somebody opens the full-screen view and zooms.

What full screen exposes

Three things, in order. Resolution, because the pause map magnifies the texture far past radar zoom. Type quality, because street names get read rather than glanced at. And compression, because large flat areas show banding that a small rotating radar hides.

The art here is rendered at 6144 by 9216 and supersampled two times before the textures are written, which is what keeps the coastline and the type clean when a player zooms in on the pause map rather than the radar.

• 6144 x 9216 across the tile grid
• Rendered at 2x and downsampled, not upscaled
• Street names rendered as part of the map, not overlaid later
• The same 78 files serve radar and pause map

Branding where people actually look

The pause map is the one place a server logo on the map gets looked at properly. Placed out over the ocean it never covers anything a player needs, it is invisible at radar zoom, and it is right there in every screenshot somebody posts. It is the cheapest advertising a server has.
