Crowe Restart is a config-driven RedM restart scheduler that gives your server professional storm-style warnings, an in-game admin control panel, and a built-in UI designer for player-facing restart notifications.
It is built to keep players informed before downtime while giving admins direct control over the next restart cycle through skip, delay, manual countdown, force restart, and schedule restore actions. Server owners can also live-edit the warning design, save it to designs.json, and broadcast the active theme to everyone online instantly.
