The public plaza becomes a stage for protests and demonstrations, community celebrations, seasonal festivals and markets, political rallies and speeches, and charity events and fundraisers.

Technical Excellence

Built using professional mapping techniques, Legion Square maintains exceptional performance even on servers with demanding resource loads. The MLO utilizes optimized collision meshes, efficient texture streaming, proper LOD (Level of Detail) configurations, and smart prop placement to minimize draw calls. Testing shows minimal FPS impact even with dozens of players in the area simultaneously, making it suitable for high-population servers and busy roleplay scenarios.

The map integrates seamlessly with existing Los Santos geography, maintaining proper street connections, preserving traffic flow patterns, respecting adjacent building positions, and ensuring smooth transitions between vanilla and custom areas. Players experience no jarring boundaries or performance drops when entering or leaving the Legion Square district.

Installation & Configuration

1. Download the Legion Square resource package and extract to your server's resources folder
2. Add the resource to your server.cfg file using ensure legion-square or similar start command
3. Configure any framework-specific settings if using ESX, QBCore, or other business/property scripts
4. Set up interior access points, job permissions, or property ownership as needed for your server
5. Restart your server and verify that all interiors load correctly without collision issues
6. Configure blips, markers, or NPC placements to guide players to key locations within the square
7. Test performance with multiple players to ensure smooth operation under load

Framework Compatibility

• ✅ ESX Legacy - Compatible with ESX property systems, job scripts, and business management
• ✅ QBCore - Works with QB-Core job systems, property ownership, and business scripts
• ✅ QBox - Fully compatible with QBox framework and associated business/property scripts
• ✅ Standalone - Can be used as a map enhancement without any framework dependencies

Integration Possibilities

Legion Square works beautifully with popular FiveM scripts to create a complete downtown experience. Integrate with property systems to allow players to purchase office spaces and retail locations, connect with business scripts to enable operational shops and services, use with job systems to create government workplaces and legal offices, combine with event scripts for rallies and public gatherings, and pair with vehicle dealerships to create premium downtown showrooms.

The versatile design allows server owners to customize the square's purpose based on their community's needs. Some servers transform it into a pure government district with city hall and courthouse functionality. Others create mixed-use developments with ground-floor retail and upper-level offices. The flexible architecture supports any vision from formal government operations to casual social hubs.

What Makes It Stand Out

Legion Square stands apart from basic map modifications by offering a complete downtown ecosystem rather than isolated buildings. Every structure serves a purpose and connects to surrounding areas logically. The modern aesthetic brings Los Santos into the contemporary era while respecting the city's existing character. Unlike performance-heavy MLOs that cause lag in busy areas, Legion Square's optimization ensures smooth gameplay even during large gatherings and events. The attention to detail extends beyond visuals to functional considerations—doorways are properly sized for accessibility, interior layouts support actual roleplay activities, and public spaces encourage natural player congregation.

Visual Design Philosophy

The redesign embraces contemporary urban design principles with clean architectural lines, abundant natural lighting through large windows, modern material palettes featuring glass, steel, and stone, professional interior decoration appropriate for business and government use, and thoughtful landscaping with trees, planters, and green spaces. The result is a downtown area that feels prestigious and important—the kind of place where significant decisions happen and successful characters conduct business.

Requirements

• FiveM server running a recent artifact version (5181 or newer recommended)
• Basic understanding of resource installation and server configuration
• Sufficient server performance to handle custom MLOs (most modern servers qualify)
• Optional: Property or business scripts to enable interior ownership and access control

Performance Specifications

Legion Square maintains excellent performance metrics with resource usage typically under 0.02ms when players are in the area, minimal FPS impact even with 20+ players present simultaneously, optimized streaming that loads only visible interiors, and efficient texture memory usage. The map has been tested on servers ranging from 32 to 256 player capacity without performance degradation.

Updates & Support

The Legion Square package includes lifetime updates addressing any compatibility issues, bug fixes, and potential enhancements. Comprehensive installation documentation helps you get the map running quickly, while support is available for troubleshooting any integration challenges with your specific server setup.
