Hello there, After spending over a month programming my server, I feel something is still missing though I'm not sure if it's even possible to implement and that is the ability to load textures for the UI (such as the radar, radar ring, weapon icons, pause screen, etc.).

I wish everyone can help me!

Check out the VC:MP Wiki and forum for more information.

I think the main limitation here is that the server cannot directly replace the native VC: MP/GTA UI textures like the radar disc, radar ring, weapon icons, or pause menu through normal server-side scripting. However, you could probably recreate most of the visual UI using client-side scripting and custom GUI elements. For example, a custom HUD/overlay could be built with images, labels, and icons, similar to how custom GUI systems are used in other VC: MP projects.
The radar and weapon icons may require a client-side workaround rather than simply loading a new texture into the original game UI. If you share exactly which UI elements you want to replace first, it would be easier to check what is realistically possible in VC: MP.

The radar disc is already customizable. Simply place your custom radar disc here:

store/maps/radar/radardisc.png
The maps are customizable as well:

* Main menu map:
 
store/maps/radar/region00.png - region08.png
* Radar map:
 
store/maps/radar/section00.png - section63.png
As for the custom weapon icons, you can use custom weapons with the default weapon XML files (available in the MVL mod examples):
https://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=16467

Get them from this path in the MVL archive:
mvl/help/samplewepxmls
and finally you can just put the weapon icon you want in the custom weapon archive.

The pause screen is not customizable.
