sd-phone spreads while esx_weather surges from near-zero
A handful of phone and ESX packages posted steady, multi-day gains; a tiny-weather package jumped from 8 to 222 servers in seven days.
Sustained, multi-day adoption is the story this week: sd-phone and sd-phone-props both grew on 6/6 days and added hundreds of servers. A cluster of ESX packages — esx_adminmenu, esx_scoreboard and esx_lib — continued steady expansion, while screencapture kept its long, slow climb. Separately, esx_weather rose from 8 to 222 servers, a leap that demands watching to see if it holds.
The week in scripts
This week’s scan saw 560,585 distinct scripts across all servers (previous week 553,769), and most movement is concentrated in a handful of packages. The clearest pattern is sustained adoption: sd-phone and sd-phone-props each grew on 6/6 days and added large counts (+329 and +301), and several ESX-related resources showed steady, day-over-day increases. Screencapture continued its long, slow climb (+275) while core tooling and frameworks mostly nudged rather than surged — several of the most-used libraries changed by low single-digit percentages. At the other end of the spectrum, two previously visible scripts — op-taxi and wallstreet_activity — fell out of our scans entirely (last seen 2026-08-28 and 2026-08-25 respectively), which is worth noting because disappearance across multiple servers seldom happens by accident. New resource names continue to appear in volume; a handful reached several hundred servers in their first week, but many brand-new names remain likely private or single-server packages. Overall the week is not a wholesale platform shift: it’s dominated by steady spreads in a few ecosystems (phone packages and ESX utilities) and one dramatic but isolated jump in a tiny weather package that needs confirmation next week.
Sustained adoption
The sustained climbers are the important signal this week because their daily shapes show ongoing spread rather than single-server bundling. sd-phone is the clearest example: on 1237 servers (prev week 908), it added +329 and “grew on 6/6 days” with daily: 1113→1142→1167→1224→1268→1342→1402. That progression — repeated gains throughout the week — reads like gradual adoption across multiple servers or installs rather than one big server dragging a package along. Its companion, sd-phone-props, mirrors that pattern: on 1174 servers (prev week 873), +301 and “grew on 6/6 days” with daily: 1060→1089→1110→1156→1198→1272→1334. When two related packages expand together across every measured day it suggests either coordinated recommendation or complementary install patterns within the same server population. ESX utilities also posted reliable multi-day growth. esx_adminmenu rose to 1076 servers (prev week 813), +262, and grew on 6/6 days with daily: 958→991→1034→1074→1096→1159→1217 — a steady climb that looks like genuine spread among ESX servers rather than a single update event. esx_scoreboard more than doubled in footprint from 324 to 544 (+220) and grew on 6/6 days: 326→344→442→550→632→722→793, a shape consistent with a feature gaining traction across multiple installs. esx_lib remains a slow, persistent mover — on 3392 servers (prev week 3195), +197, grew on 6/6 days with daily: 3314→3318→3340→3364→3400→3463→3541 — that steady upward slope is what sustainable adoption looks like for a shared library. screencapture continues its long-running expansion, adding +275 to reach 9027 servers and growing on 5/6 days; its daily: 8960→8967→8944→8971→9027→9125→9197 shows small mid-week noise but overall gain. Two smaller but notable movers are prompt_sandy_downtown (524, +130; grew on 6/6 days with daily: 488→503→518→532→534→540→553) and (367, +113; grew on 6/6 days with daily: 321→333→347→370→386→400→414) — both posting repeated daily increases, which is the pattern developers should pay attention to because it indicates distribution across multiple servers rather than a single large host.
All scripts gaining servers
| Resource | Servers | Change | Grew | Trajectory |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sd-phone | 1,237from 908 | +329+36.3% | 6/6 | |
| sd-phone-props | 1,174from 873 | +301+34.4% | 6/6 |
Losing ground
Declines this week are modest in scale but visible across multiple widely used packages. screenshot-basic fell by -408 to 14,242 servers and its daily line (14454→14200→14187→14197→14210→14210→14235) shows an early-week drop followed by stabilisation; that pattern is consistent with a short-term rollback or noisy restarts rather than mass migration. PolyZone dropped -247 to 16,535 servers but its daily counts (16715→16430→16449→16471→16515→16539→16630) actually include growth on 5/6 days — the net decline is small relative to its footprint and looks like normal churn. lb-phone and lb-phoneprop each edged down (lb-phone -224 to 10,126; lb-phoneprop -188 to 8,877) despite mostly growing days; these moves sit inside routine server volatility. Among frameworks, qb-core lost -173 to 6,921 servers but recorded growth on 5/6 days, which again implies the weekly net was produced by jitter rather than a coordinated exodus. The more meaningful signals are complete disappearances: op-taxi (last seen 2026-08-28, was on ~20 servers) and wallstreet_activity (last seen 2026-08-25, was on ~16 servers). When a resource with a real footprint drops out of scans entirely it most commonly lines up with breakage, deprecation, or replacement; the data shape here is a straight stop, not a long tail of decline, so those are the plausible interpretations but not certainties.
Shedding servers
New arrivals
The roster of brand-new names this week includes several packages that reached non-trivial footprints in their first seven days. 5bybML was first seen 2026-08-31 and reached 459 servers; cfx-nteam-newcity (first seen 2026-09-03) reached 408 servers; MvW6R2 (first seen 2026-09-03) reached 346 servers. Those three are the only new entries to clear the few-hundred-server mark — an adoption level that merits a closer look because most new resource names are private or single-server and never register widely. A second tier of newcomers reached lower but still noticeable counts: oE8vPl (82), ak47_map_247 (56), vorsch2 (44), ak47_smokegrenade (37), ak47_map_ltd (35), qs-dj-creator (35), and codem-phone-assets (32). The mere presence of many new names is normal; what matters is whether any of those first-week gains sustain into a multi-week trend. Historically, a newcomer that hits several hundred servers in week one will either continue to grow next week or collapse back toward single-server status, so these should be watched for persistence rather than celebrated on sight.
What to watch
For developers and server owners the actionable item is to prioritise sustained movers and to treat single large jumps with caution. The sd-phone ecosystem — sd-phone and sd-phone-props — is the clearest 'keep an eye on' story because both packages grew on 6/6 days and added hundreds of servers; if you build phone integrations or complementary props, those are logical places to test compatibility. ESX maintainers should note the steady ascent of esx_adminmenu, esx_scoreboard and esx_lib: each grew on 6/6 days and posted consistent daily increases, so evaluating compatibility or offering migration tooling for these packages will meet existing adoption. Watch esx_weather closely: it rose from 8 to 222 servers in the week, which is remarkable for a small-weather package — confirm next week whether that growth holds before assuming it represents durable demand. Screencapture’s continued growth positions it as a persistent utility worth supporting. Conversely, modest declines in PolyZone, screenshot-basic and qb-core are not by themselves a call to action — they look like routine churn — but their steadiness at the top of the stack means any meaningful drop later would be worth immediate attention. Finally, track newcomers: a handful cleared several hundred servers in their first week and could be candidates for integration testing, while disappeared packages (, ) are a reminder to include health checks for third-party dependencies in your deployment process.

What to take away
- sd-phone and sd-phone-props each grew on 6/6 days and added +329 and +301 servers respectively, a shape consistent with ongoing spread rather than a single-server bundle.
- esx_weather rose from 8 to 222 servers over the week and grew on 6/6 days; that size of jump from a near-zero baseline is unusual and should be rechecked next week.
- esx_adminmenu, esx_scoreboard and esx_lib all recorded growth on 6/6 days, showing steady, repeatable uptake among ESX adopters.
- screencapture added +275 servers and grew on 5/6 days, continuing a long, shallow expansion that looks like organic adoption.
- Several widely used packages — PolyZone, screenshot-basic and qb-core — posted small declines; those moves are modest and do not yet indicate systemic migration.
- Two scripts with prior footprints, op-taxi and wallstreet_activity, disappeared from our scans; disappearance across multiple servers usually signals breakage, deprecation, or replacement.
