Steady spreads: esx_weather and esx_scoreboard keep climbing
Two ESX staples and the sd-phone family showed true multi-day adoption this week, while a handful of menus and a policing script bled small amounts of footprint.
Sustained adoption is the story this week: esx_weather and esx_scoreboard both grew on 6/6 days and added hundreds of servers. The sd-phone pair continued multi-day gains, and several smaller map and residence resources recorded steady, day-on-day increases. On the downside, common ESX menu modules and one policing pack lost modest share, and a single low-volume script vanished entirely.
The week in scripts
Adoption was resolutely incremental this week: FiveStats recorded 564,181 distinct scripts across sampled servers (previous week 566,107), and the largest stories are steady, multi-day climbs rather than sudden, single-day spikes. The clearest signals are the items that rose on most measured days — esx_weather and esx_scoreboard both grew on 6/6 days and added several hundred servers each — which marks them as sustained adopters rather than one-off bundles. The sd-phone family continued to spread, adding double-digit server counts each and growing on 5/6 days; that pair now sits well inside the few-thousand footprint tier. Several smaller resources tied to maps and interiors — cfx-nteam-carpoint, tstudio_vinewood_residence and tstudio_ponsonby — posted large percentage gains, but their absolute numbers remain modest and their week-long, day-by-day rises suggest genuine spread rather than a single-server jump. On the negative side, a group of ESX menu modules and a policing pack registered small but consistent declines; none of those losses are dramatic in absolute terms, but together they form the clearest downward movement of the week. One previously visible script, kq_crashtrace, vanished from our samples after being present on roughly a dozen servers. New arrivals were multiple but mostly small; qs-mlocreator-data is the exception, reaching 92 servers in its first week. In short: adoption momentum this week was about steady diffusion — the kind of slow, repeatable uptake that matters to developers deciding whether a dependency is beginning to propagate through server operator practice.
Sustained adoption
This week's rising list is defined by persistence: the scripts that grew on 5 or 6 of the measured days are the ones that most likely represent ongoing adoption across many independent servers rather than one server dragging a resource along. esx_weather is the headline mover: on 967 servers (prev week 665), it added +302 and "grew on 6/6 days" (daily: 870→915→945→971→976→1028→1062). That shape — continuous day-on-day gains from a non-zero baseline — is a classic footprint spreading through multiple servers. esx_scoreboard shows the same pattern, rising to 1278 servers (prev week 982) with +296 and "grew on 6/6 days" (daily: 1190→1216→1240→1275→1291→1348→1384); the parallel multi-day climb in another core ESX utility strengthens the case that operators are incrementally rolling these into installs. The sd-phone pair continued to behave like a spreading ecosystem: sd-phone reached 1691 (prev week 1479), +211, and sd-phone-props reached 1619 (prev week 1419), +200; both grew on 5/6 days and show steady, small daily increases rather than a single jump. cfx-nteam-carpoint is notable for percentage growth: from 83 to 258 servers (+175 / +210.9%) and "grew on 6/6 days" (daily: 168→206→237→266→294→305→327). The absolute numbers are still modest, but the six-day climb is clear evidence of consistent uptake. tstudio_vinewood_residence and both completed six-day climbs (to 192 and 117 servers respectively) after near-zero baselines the prior week; their daily trajectories (v_vinewood: 90→128→177→199→223→253→275; ponsonby: 69→103→118→123→130→133→143) look like gradual spread. and posted smaller absolute rises but did so across most measured days, which is exactly the kind of slow diffusion developers want to see when considering compatibility or integration. Where a resource grows on 5–6 days, classify it as a candidate for broader testing: that shape is rather than a single-server bundle.
All scripts gaining servers

|---|---|---|---|---|
| esx_weather | 967from 665 | +302+45.5% | 6/6 | |

Losing ground
Losses this week are small in absolute terms but concentrated in familiar places. Several ESX menu modules — esx_menu_list, esx_menu_default and esx_menu_dialog — each shed roughly 140 servers over the week (esx_menu_list: 10,072→9,923→9,732→9,639→9,580→9,574→9,697; esx_menu_default: 10,092→10,030→9,996→9,938→9,906→9,955→10,005; esx_menu_dialog: 9,980→9,920→9,892→9,836→9,804→9,855→9,908). Those moves are about one to two percent of their footprints and the measured-day shapes (each grew on 2/6 days) point to modest attrition rather than a sudden deprecation. screenshot-basic, still in the top ten, fell by -233 servers to 13,856 but its daily line shows bounce rather than a clean fall (daily: 13,971→13,862→13,775→13,810→13,796→13,861→13,918) — this is jitter at scale more than a collapse. oxmysql lost -139 servers (to 29,382) and other ESX staples such as es_extended and esx_addonaccount posted modest declines; these are small percentages on large bases. The policing script wasabi_police dropped by -119 servers to 2,080 and "grew on 1/6 days", a trajectory consistent with a steady pullback from multiple servers rather than a sudden removal by a single host. The only outright disappearance with meaningful prior adoption was kq_crashtrace, last seen 2026-09-18 after being present on about 13 servers; that counts as a true death in our samples. Overall, declining items are worth watching but none match the week-on-week, multi-day momentum of the risers.
New arrivals
New resource names continue to appear every week; most are small, private, or experimental and never escape single-server noise. A handful this week are worth flagging because they reached multiple independent servers in the first seven days. qs-mlocreator-data was first seen 2026-09-18 and reached 92 servers in its first week, which is a large initial footprint for a new resource name and merits watching. 9labs_capsulerent (first seen 2026-09-14) reached 45 servers and apocalypse-post-apocalyptic reached 35; both are notable although still small by ecosystem standards. Two related entries, rf_rsm1 and rf_rsm1h (first seen 2026-09-19), reached 33 and 31 servers respectively, suggesting either two closely related variants or a split release pattern. A short tail of other newcomers — nc-players (30), GL_F8 (30), 5l-music (28) and two loop-* modules (26 each) — each reached a few dozen servers. Most new names will not become persistent; when a newly created resource clears several dozen distinct servers in its first week it deserves follow-up next week to see whether the initial spread continues or collapses back into noise.

What to watch
For developers and server owners the immediate action is simple: treat the multi-day risers as candidates for compatibility testing and integration. esx_weather and esx_scoreboard both "grew on 6/6 days" and added hundreds of servers; if your project depends on ESX utilities or provides alternate implementations, run tests against the latest versions and watch next week's shape. The sd-phone pair again showed steady uptake — if you operate phone-related features, check compatibility and consider whether sd-phone and sd-phone-props should be in your compatibility matrix. Resources that grew from tiny baselines (cfx-nteam-carpoint, tstudio_* entries) should be followed for another week to distinguish genuine diffusion from a short, single-cluster spread. Declines among ESX menu modules and the policing pack are modest but persistent; if you maintain modules or extensions for those menus, a small but steady attrition across multiple days suggests it is worth ensuring your integrations remain compatible with alternative menu systems. Watch newcomers flagged above — qs-mlocreator-data in particular — for continued growth; an extra week of multi-day gains would make it a clear candidate for broader evaluation. Finally, treat disappearances like kq_crashtrace as warning signs: a script that "disappeared entirely" after having real adoption either broke, was intentionally removed, or was replaced. If you depend on a low-volume script that vanishes, add defensive checks or fallbacks rather than assuming the dependency will persist.
