Dear Eclipse Community,

Finally, the long-awaited clothing update is here! The clothing update was developed in a joint effort by the modder and development teams:

• The modder team was responsible for the custom clothing: asset acquisition, modelling, texturing, and setting up the file structures. They built the actual DLC archives needed to load the custom clothing into the game (this includes both faction and civilian models).
   
• The development team had to integrate the new custom clothing (and also a large number of missing base game clothes) into the server. The clothing update required a partial rework and patching of the old clothing system. New improved data structures, clothing-related graphic interfaces and scripts had to be developed.
   
• Our awesome staff team helped test the update and volunteered as data collectors. It is not the first time when our staff team members aid us in the development process. An additional dozen pairs of hands can make extremely difficult and time-consuming tasks more achievable.

The development process had a fairly high degree of complexity. It is much easier to start working on a new script and, once finished, integrate it into the server rather than to change and update an old and really large system. Changes to the old clothing system have a ripple effect across other parts of the server because so many other scripts and systems depend on clothing. The new system had to be made in a specific way to support future clothing additions (custom and base game).

Furthermore, it did not help that clothing has an extremely large amount of data associated with it. Part of it had to be manually reviewed to ensure the best player experience (ex., selecting undershirts and torsos, removing invalid or bugged items, setting up the prices and availability, etc.). The update required a fair amount of time and effort to properly setup the top, undershirt, and torso combinations. In many cases, GTA Online uses pre-built outfits while ECRP tries to be more flexible and allows players to build their own outfits of fully individual pieces; therefore, data that could have been extracted automatically from the game files was often incorrect and could not meet our needs. Finally, data conversion tools had to be written and tested multiple times in an attempt to preserve as much of the old clothing and hair already owned by players as is feasible (it may not be perfect, but the test cases had good results).

Unfortunately, some planned features (quality of life changes, additional content) had to be cut out to allow us to release the update sooner rather than later, but the most difficult part of the work, the necessary foundation and other important parts of the clothing update, have already been laid out and done. On the bright side, more clothing related updates are on their way and the latest update is definitely not the final state of our clothing system.

Clothing Stores
A new look, hundreds of clothes, and additional features!

The new clothing store UI enables players to build an entire outfit before making the final purchase (similar to vehicle/weapon customization). It has categories with total clothing numbers; you can see the ids, the exact number of models and textures, names and prices of individual items, even attributes like weight and other useful information. There is a lot of new clothing; the undershirt selection has also expanded and is more straightforward. In addition, you can now purchase a variety of gloves and even select different colors.

Hairstyles
Hundreds of new hairstyles!

Around 200-300 new hairstyles have been added to the server (a few models are from the base game). However, there is a downside to using custom hairstyles. Custom models do not work that well with hats and masks; some custom hairstyles have really long hair and may require more effort to combine them with other clothes (GTA V was not designed with long hair in mind). There are ideas to make a command to tie your hair; there is also an option to make extra models to account for the hats; regardless, this issue requires further research. Furthermore, the barbershop continues to use the old UI, but the development of a barbershop update is planned to begin after we are satisfied with the state of clothing. The planned update would include a brand new barbershop UI, additional hair textures, makeup, and facial hair.

Faction Uniforms
Factions can now build their own uniforms with the help of the clothing customizer!

Factions now have the ability to create their own outfits. This provides the much needed flexibility as faction leaders no longer need to wait for the developers to make the requested changes. The clothing customizer combined with the new custom clothing creates significantly more opportunities and variety. However, we do expect faction leaders to ensure that the faction uniforms are used in a professional, immersive and realistic manner. Special clothing items like kevlar should not be over-used without cause. There should be immediate in-character circumstances to justify putting on armor, however, more flexibility can be extended to law enforcement officers because their profession is inherently more dangerous.

Job Uniforms
Freelance jobs have not been forgotten!

Freelance jobs have also had their uniforms updated. It is a lot more realistic, immersive, and satisfying to work while wearing the most appropriate outfit for the job. Since drug crafting can also be considered a job of sorts, additional Hazmat Suit colours are now available at Humane Labs! Do not forget about our beloved Bolingbroke Penitentiary residents who may notice a slight change in their appearance too!

Clothing Configuration
Top, undershirt & torso combinations.

It is more of a development tool than a feature, but it affects everyone who is not running around the world naked. The clothing configuration UI enables our senior staff members and developers to make changes to the undershirt and torso selection. It can be done on the fly without any need to restart the server. Because there is a large amount of data and many different combinations, some tops may, on occasion, still have a torso that does not perfectly match your selected top, or gloves may not be displayed. These undershirt and torso issues will be gradually resolved as time passes with the help of this tool.

Clothing Inventory
New clothing item images, icons and some changes.

Clothing items now have new images and icons which should help to distinguish the different clothing items from the others. Small blueish and reddish icons at the top-right corner indicate the designated player model (either male or female). Unlike before the update, players can no longer equip clothing items of the opposite sex. It is not feasible to do it any other way, because males can't equip a dress anyway, instead they would be equipped by a random male clothing item. In short, it is a GTA V limitation where each player model has it's own clothes and the only way to make it work would be to replicate the models (double download size) and adjust their models and textures to male/female body proportions (huge amount of work). Furthermore, there are the clothing item images themselves and we have around 20,000-25,000 of them, however, to fully cover all the base game and custom DLC clothes we would need another 20,000-25,000 images, so instead, players will often see transparent placeholders where an image is unavailable. If we are able to streamline the image creation process and enlist the help of our community, we could fill in the gaps ourselves (this is currently pending research). Finally, we have the clothing item names that were extracted from the GTA V files (including custom clothing), however, not all base game items have names, so instead players may notice such items being named a sequence of numbers. All nameless items will have descriptive names assigned in the near future.

Dear Eclipse Community,

Proudly announcing an update that has been anticipated for a long time, the Diamond Casino finally opens its doors! This new update brings many things to the casino including table games, slot machines, and the lucky wheel; all housed inside our new custom casino MLO.

Chips
In the casino, instead of using cash you’ll be using Casino Chips! The conversion rate for Casino Chips is 1:1, so 1 Casino Chip = $1 Eclipse Buck. You can buy your chips with cash at the cage in the main room on the gambling floor. When you cash in, of course, the Diamond Casino needs to take a small bit to pay the bills. When cashing in your chips, a 3% tax will be taken from the total but don’t worry, you can buy them back and win more later on!

Slot Machines

We’re happy to finally show off and release the new slot machines, the script being completely different from what you may be used to if you partook in playing slot machines at Tequilala in the past. With seven (7) new machines available to use, the possibilities of spinning to win are endless!

To change your bet amount, you can press left-shift to raise it, and backslash (\) to lower it. To spin, you press left-click.

Poker

We're thrilled to announce a complete overhaul in our poker script from fixing gameplay issues to introducing innovative UI improvements, as well as catering to players of all stakes with a variety of table sizes. 

Black Jack

Blackjack is one of the games we’re the most excited to have included in this release; this game has been requested and talked about for ages, and it’s finally here for you to play! With 3 different table types for Black Jack, you can play for a small amount of money at the low or medium-stake tables or go for the big win at the high-stakes tables.

To bet, you press Enter upon joining the table and enter your bet. Each table has its own minimum bet, so make sure you pick the right table for your budget!
When it’s your turn, you press Enter to hit, and Backspace to stand.
If you get two of the same card, you can press Shift+S to split.
If you’re feeling lucky, press Shift+D to double your bet, but be wary, if you double you can’t hit anymore!

Roulette

Roulette has also been introduced to the casino, if you have a lucky number, this is the game for you to put its luck to the test! Similar to Poker and Black Jack, the Roulette wheels also have a Low/Medium/High Stake option.

To bet, press G to change your camera view. It will allow you to look around the multiple betting options.
Press Shift to raise your bet size and Ctrl to lower it.
Clicking your Left Mouse Button will place a bet.
Clicking Right Mouse Button will remove a bet.

Lucky Wheel

With the lucky wheel, there are 19 different possible prizes (in chips) that you can win, all the way from 2000 chips to 5x the chips you spent to spin! Unfortunately, you can’t win the car, but if you get lucky enough you can land on the mystery prize for something very cool!

Dear Eclipse Community,

This is the first development blog that is from the modification team here at Eclipse and it is intended to brief you on some of what has changed, how it's changed and an insight into why it has changed. The main goal of the modification team is to supplement the development updates with a more-personal roleplay experience that is unique to our server and community.

Previously, you will have seen that with the last map update in March, as well as vehicle updates and previously our clothes. It is what that in mind, this update focuses on the first of our planned map updates.

Restructuring

We have undertaken a restructure of our how are modifications are installed on the server and that will unfortunately dictate that you will likely have to redownload the server files when you next play.

The main reason for this is that it will allow us moving forward to modify projects individually. Currently, updating some of our maps might come with a 300mb download, all for the sake of updating an individual map. While 300mb is not a large file, when you factor in the size of our player base, it's begins to add up.

This is a more progressive way of working and will stand us in good stead for the future.

Phased Updates

This first release contains what we consider to be required map changes. We determined these to either be updates to maps that are essential updates to our current roleplay environment or global map updates which don't affect anyone specifically, with the exception of a few key faction locations.

These global map updates include the Map Fixes (https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/map-fixes) and Fixes and Improvements (https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/fixes-improvements) from creator Alex106 as well as updates to the Forests of San Andreas (https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/forests-of-san-andreas-revised) and GTA:V Remastered (https://www.gta5-mods.com/maps/gta-v-remastered-enhanced) from Larcius.

Additionally, we have worked on cleaning up player properties to allowing for better access by removing frozen doors or gates as well as other objects that obstructured access, allowing for deployment of outdoor gates and doors of the players choosing and within their control.

Basegame Clothing

As a precursor to our future clothing update, we have also added a number of additional textures to some of the base-game clothing where there were simply black and white checkered textures. We understand you will be looking forward to the clothing update and we'll have more details about that in another release soon.

Updated Locations

Bolingbroke Prison

We have made our largest update to the Prison Interior since it was implemented several years ago. This includes a re-work of the prison yard, adding a helipad for medical and prisoner transport as well as segmenting the yard into lockable sections.

We have altered the lighting in the cell block to make it easier to see during all times of the day, we have added benches to allow for prisoners to sit, removed bunk beds to allow prisoners to roleplay sleeping as well as fixed the broken cell area.

We have also committed to a certain level of personalisation for the DOC faction and the prison as a whole will feel more like Eclipse's prison than just an MLO we bought.

Pillbox Hospital

We have also made some changes to how Pillbox loads, to hopefully improve performance in and around that MLO. Previously, the interior map was loading however we have taken steps to correctly hide certain rooms of the hospital from being loaded until needed.

Paleto Sheriff Station and Police Parking Garages

The Paleto Bay Sheriffs Station has been updated with a new, personalised MLO. This not only mores more use of the ground floor but additionally, also adds a second floor for the Sheriffs' Department to use. Sticking with LSSD, we have also added another location at Sandy Shores which replaced the existing station and hospital with a brand new station.

For the LSPD, we have added an interior at Vinewood Police Station which covers all the levels of the exterior building. The same creator made both the Paleto Bay Sheriffs Station and Vinewood. Both Sandy and Vinewood have been added as secondary locations, to give those factions more scope to role-play in.

We've updated some visuals and also installed parking at Mission Row and made changes to how certain rooms within Mission Row load, to hopefully improve performance around such a busy area.

Plus, that pesky invisible wall at Mission Row has now been removed.

Mechanic Garages for Los Santos Customs and Bayview

We have made updates to the Los Santos Customs MLO, recolouring the inside as well as personalising it to the faction's specification with a front desk and bay numbers amongst other details. We are aware that it is an area where people experience some performance loss and we'll monitor that to see if we need to change things up further, beyond this.

Bayview has had a update to it's current map, adding a (currently unscripted) car wash as well as additional branding for Bayview. However, there is something else quite special planned regarding this, in a future, upcoming update.

Weazel News

Weazel News has had it's interior updated with personalisation for the faction, as well as the implementation of garages for the faction to use as well. 

Downtown Cab Company

We have updated the DCC Headquarters in Vinewood, now with exterior walls instead of fences, new text, a faster gate, a side gate, plenty of flowers and also fixed the broken mirror in the bathroom.

City Hall

We have removed a significant number of the Bollards around the City Hall, added in some additional water fountains, and updated the helipad.

Dear Eclipse Community,

As requested at our last community meeting, we have added some practical drug effects in hopes to make the drug items actually useful beyond holding a turf and earning money. Hopefully, the drug effect update will create some demand and revive player to player illegal trade. Note that this update does not make any changes to old drug features such as visual effects or addiction.

In this update there 4 new HUD icons that represent the player's stress, agility, strength and endurance. In order to maintain the HUD as clean as possible, the new icons are only visible whenever their represented values are not equal to 100% (default). In addition, you might notice some new indicators for wellness, recovery, hunger and thirst (arrows up, arrows down or pause) to indicate if something is affecting their values in one way or the other.

Currently, the only way to influence these 4 new values is to consume drugs, but that may change in future updates as the system is fairly flexible and could be applied to alcohol, cigarettes, physical exercise, injury etc.. All drugs have different combinations of effects with different potency and duration. Recreational drugs are more likely to excel in calming your character and reduce stress while synthetic drugs are more likely to make your character faster and stronger, but may also damage your wellness.

Wellness
No reduction from Cannabis and Psilocybin Mushrooms, maximum reduction from Heroin

Wellness represents your character's overall physical health and fitness. It determines the maximum amount of health and the maximum sprinting distance. Eating expired or inappropriate foods, using most drugs, getting injured and dying will cause wellness to drop. Maintaining a nutritious diet, eating and drinking will increase it slowly over time. In this update we have added wellness penalties for using drugs and also increased injury and death penalties. It should work to deter the frequent use of powerful combat related drugs.

Recovery
Cannabis and Psilocybin Mushrooms speed up the recovery rate

Recovery is basically a timer that is applied after injury or death. It prevents the player from jumping and running, as well as stops their wellness from increasing until fully recovered. No significant changes had been made here, however, Cannabis and Psilocybin Mushrooms now helps to speed up the recovery timer.

Health Regeneration
All drugs to some extent (can be either much lower or much higher than painkillers)

All drugs affect the health regeneration rate for a few minutes. None of them provide instant health boosts. Be aware that most of the drugs lower wellness that determines the maximum health, so loss of health may occur when consuming drugs at 100% wellness and health.

Hunger
Cannabis, Psilocybin Mushrooms, Methamphetamine, LSD, Ecstasy

Some drugs will cause you to lose appetite, so your hunger will be either halted or slowed down for the duration of the effect.

Thirst
Heroin, Methadone

Some drugs will cause you to become more thirsty, so your thirst will deplete at an increased rate.

Stress
Cannabis, Psilocybin Mushrooms, LSD

Lower stress helps your character to perform tasks that require precision and focus, such as picklocking doors and safes, hotwiring vehicles, disarming alarms and CCTV, grabbing cash, making less noise while sneaking, locking doors and more. It either makes the action timers go faster or makes the action timer green zones larger that reduces the chance of failure.

Agility
Cocaine, Crack, Methamphetamine, Ecstasy, Steroids

Higher agility makes your character run, sprint and swim faster. It also has a similar effect to stress on tasks that are simple and require speed more than focus, such as grabbing cash, making less noise while sneaking, cleaning spills, cleaning fingerprints, entering doors, dismantling equipment.

Strength
Cocaine, Crack, Methamphetamine, Steroids

Higher strength enables your character to carry more weight and reduces weapon recoil. It also has a similar effect to stress and speed on tasks that require handling equipment or objects that are heavy, such as drilling doors, loading cargo, mining, oil extraction, smashing items, opening crates with a crowbar, carrying bodies, disassembling vehicle parts.

Endurance
Cocaine, Crack, Cannabis, Psilocybin Mushrooms, Heroin

Higher endurance dampens pain perception and reduces the damage done to your character's health by firearms. In the future we plan to make a custom damage system for melee weapons that would enable us to increase player melee damage when their strength is high and dampen it when their endurance is high.

Dear Eclipse Community,

Since the beginning of autumn, our development team has been working on improving the development process in order to make it more efficient and to improve the speed at which new content can be delivered. This includes regular developer meetings to discuss planned features and progress on ongoing work; new software and technologies, such as swapping to a more efficient git repository; using Docker for testing in a production environment and for speedier deployment of new server versions to the live host; the use of new server management tools and dashboards; exploration of making some of our non-critical services, such as the Discord bot, open source for anyone to contribute to; and much more! The next part may not be that relevant to an average player, but it is still important and needs to be done, and it takes a fair amount of time too. Server maintenance, software and package updates, and code refactoring had also been made just recently to keep us up to date and up to standard. It not only helps us with the development process but also makes our systems faster, more secure, and easier to work with.

Faction Management UI

Faction vehicle and weapon permissions have been moved from the F4 menu (faction menu) to the new faction management menu that can be accessed from faction lockers or parking lots. The UI enables faction leaders to create multiple customization variants of the same vehicle or weapon model and authorize their faction branches and groups to use those specific variants. Faction leaders can then assign a custom title and description to make it easier for their members to differentiate between the customizations. It is planned to further expand the faction management UI with the addition of customizable uniforms and loadout presets (equipment + uniform in a single click).

Vehicle Customizer UI

The vehicle customizer is an updated version of /ModView that can be easily loaded into any other UI. It can be potentially used in future updates that may require a vehicle preview and customization options, such as dealerships, vehicle markets, credit store, criminal mechanics (for armor and bulletproof tires), etc.

Weapon Customizer UI

The weapon customizer is similar to the vehicle customizer and can also be easily loaded into any other UI. It enables faction members, civilians, and criminals to customize their existing weapons.

Faction GPS Blips

Added more variety of faction GPS blip sprites for different types of vehicles (ex.: civilian cars, emergency cars, boats, helicopters, planes, motorcycles, bicycles, blimps, SUV, tanks, etc.)

Criminal Shipments

AP, HP, and FMJ ammunition, as well as the relevant ammo mods, have been added to criminal shipment packages!

• Armor-piercing (AP) rounds deal normal damage to armored players and a bit of bonus penetration damage to the target's health, however, these rounds deal reduced damage against unarmored players.
• Hollow-point (HP) rounds deal increased damage against unarmored players but do less damage to armored targets.
• FMJ rounds deal increased damage to vehicles and can penetrate bullet-resistant glass; however, they do reduced damage to players.

Dear Eclipse Community,

The long-awaited gun update is finally out! I do hope that all of you enjoy the changes and the new content. Initially, I had only planned to release a quick update that only included the addition of a few new guns that got introduced by some newer GTA V updates, but then I proceeded to change some scripts here and some other ones elsewhere, and before I knew it, a simple update had grown into a major one with many of the outdated features getting an upgrade and a bunch of new ones being added. Nevertheless, I had hoped to release the gun update much sooner, as I had already made good progress by November 2022. However, my entire progress on the gun update had to be delayed by a lengthy 6 months due to personal reasons and important events happening in my life during that period. At the time, I could only perform minor updates, fixes, and server maintenance. Luckily, everything that had been holding me back got resolved by late spring. I finally had enough time to devote to the development of the server, and I had been extremely eager to finish the update. I had to work long hours to make the gun update playable as soon as possible. I got really tired in the process, but now I am satisfied as the effort has paid off. However, due to rushing the update, some planned features are still in development and should be released in August. Let us have a look at what has been done already.

Gun Store UI

The gun store UI has been completely overhauled and now uses a similar style to the style of the vehicle customization menu. It provides much more detailed and accurate information on each firearm. It also includes customization and ammunition options, so the player can customize their new weapon and buy ammunition before completing the purchasing process.

Gun store owners will also notice new or upgraded business management features, such as business and business money logs, manager permissions, finance management, or just being able to build and review one single order that includes multiple different items before finalizing and sending the import order to the truckers. Gun stores can now order any amount of ammunition and other small items rather than being forced to order them in stacks. As a result, the trucker cargo capacity for gun store import orders has been readjusted, so the capacity is dependent on the total inventory weight of the ordered items instead of being based purely on the item count.

P.S. Gun stores are the only businesses that I had ever made myself a very long time ago, so they got a lot of love in this update.

New Available Weapons

Civilians, police officers, and criminals now have access to new weapons that can be obtained from gun stores, legal faction lockers, or illegal shipments. The most notable additions include pump shotguns, revolvers, and Mk II firearms. New pistols, rifles, MGs, SMGs, and shotguns can also be obtained from illegal shipments. Prices of said items got updated to better reflect their performance and DPS, and gun store prices have also been lowered to match those of criminals (gun store owners still pay taxes, so their merchandise is still more expensive).

Weapon Customization

Prior to the gun update, our scripts had supported just a few weapon components (attachments). After the gun update, all GTA V weapon components have become supported. In addition, our modder team has created new specialized ammunition magazines for "non-Mk II" firearms. Finally, players can now also purchase and apply cosmetic upgrades to their weapons, such as, tint colors, liveries, and skins.

Ammunition & Special Types

Before the update, each gun had its own unique ammunition. As more new weapons and ammunition types have been made available, I have also decided to assign a caliber (or ammunition type) for each gun, and then I have merged all old ammunition items according to the caliber of their respective weapon. This enables players to use the same ammunition for multiple compatible guns and also makes the inventory easier to manage.

Furthermore, I have implemented special ammunition types, such as Tracer, AP, HP and FMJ rounds (incendiary and explosive rounds are supported, however, they are unavailable to mortals due to balance issues). Note that these rounds require an ammo mod clip component.

• Tracer rounds are cosmetic and add bright tracers (trails) to your shots (the tracer color depends on the weapon's tint color);
• Armor-piercing rounds deal normal damage to armored players and a bit of bonus penetration damage to the target's health, however, these rounds deal reduced damage against unarmored players.
• Hollow-point rounds deal increased damage against unarmored players but do less damage to armored targets.
• FMJ rounds deal increased damage to vehicles and can penetrate bullet-resistant glass; however, they do reduced damage to players.

These special rounds are intentionally designed to be situational (being both bad and good in certain situations), so players may want to have 2 or more guns with different special ammunition types in their loadout if they want to use them efficiently.

Inventory Item Indicators

I needed to name all these new items and special ammunition types, but the texts were just too long. To reduce the amount of text in the inventory, I have added indicator icons to weapon, component, and ammunition items to help players identify which weapons have components on them and what kind of special ammunition type an inventory item is associated with.

Firearm Damage

All firearms now use our custom damage system. This new damage system has allowed us to nerf and introduce previously overpowered firearms, such as revolvers. The damage output is calculated taking multiple factors into account. This includes the weapon itself, the type of ammunition used, the body area hit (3 categories: head, torso, limbs), the distance to the target, whether the target has armor, etc.. You can expect different guns to be affected differently by these factors. For example, rifles and snipers are far better at retaining their damage output at greater distances than say MGs, SMGs, or pistols, while shotguns are powerful at close range but have extremely low effective range and low maximum range overall.

Firearm Licensing

Firearms used to have two licences (one called a weapon permit and the other one a firearm's licence), which I always found confusing. I have removed the weapon permit entirely. In order to purchase guns from a gun store, players now only need to apply for a firearm's licence at their local police station. A police officer can now scriptly specify (authorize) the exact gun models that can be purchased by the player.

Dear Eclipse Community,

Throughout the last few months, we’ve inquired with some of our criminal players in the community as well as other consultants about what would work best for this update, and after a few months of work towards this update, we are happy to announce that the house robbery update is now live! Below will contain some details on what comes with the update, as well as information on how the ‘job’ works.

1. Purchasing a Contract

To get the job you must first find the NPC that offers the job for players to take. Once you do, you will have different options to pick from ranging from a low-income house to a high-income house at varying prices depending on which option you pick. Higher-income houses come at a higher cost but may contain more items, and a lower-income house will yield fewer items than a high/medium-income house would.

2. Locating the House

Once you take the job, you will get a blip placed on your GPS at the location of the robbery. It can be seen and marked with a red skull blip on your GPS, and there will be a waypoint set automatically on your map so you know where to go.

3. Breaking into the House

As you get to the house, you will be able to begin the robbery. Once approaching the house you will need to picklock the door to enter. On top of that, you will need to bring a couple of different tools to help them break into poor ol’ Andy’s home as there are various types of containers that can be searched/looted within each house including cabinets and safes.

4. Navigating the House

After entering the house, a small UI will show up with a “noise meter” in the middle-bottom of your screen that will go up or down depending on the amount of noise you make via movement or talking (text or voice). The more people, the louder. Stealth mode is encouraged! This key bind can be found in the GTA in-game settings area, under key binds.

If you move too quickly there’s also the chance that you will raise the noise level and fall over, but if you’re quick enough you can prevent falling by completing the minigame. If you fail, you will be on the ground for a few seconds to recover, and it’s quite loud, so be careful when moving around inside! 

5. Robbing the House

As you navigate through the house there will be multiple items laid out around the house for you to interact with. This can range from cabinets, grabbable items, and safes - all of which can contain packed cash, furniture items, or other items that can be sold at the Pawn Shop or that you might want to keep.

6. Law Enforcement Involvement

For our law enforcement folk - with this update, there are also opportunities for you as well. If a player who is robbing a house gets too loud, Andy will wake up and make a 911 call for units to come and help him make sure that his house is safe and secure. Once units arrive at the house to make sure everything is ok, they can use the world interaction menu on the door entrance to clean up the scene as shown in step three in the image attached.

ECLIPSE Roleplay Changelog (Starting from 2020-05-10)

Dear Eclipse Community,

It has been a long time since we wrote a development blog, instead, we have been updating our game changelog thread after each update. I decided that it would be nice to bring these development blogs back. So in this development blog, the main focus will be on the rework of chop shops, as well as many other changes to the game.

1. Chopshop Rework

I think it is fair to say that the new chop shop system is an experiment, it will require a lot of balancing to make it work as intended, however, once polished, it will provide lots of interesting RP and interactions for all criminals, police, and civilians.

This system, unlike the old one, has player interaction as its focus, whether it's interaction with the stolen vehicle itself or other players, and it aims to benefit criminals of all tiers. This new system will be dynamic and run by official factions; which will also allow for natural gang conflict to grow as the profit levels will be dependent on the number of chop shops that are active, and how many players visit them. 

Tool Chest, for the Factions

The new chop shop system will revolve around the tool chest item. This is a new placeable item that will be made available to official criminal factions and will be obtained via the criminal import system, and the area in which the tool chest is placed will define the chopshop area. 

• Each criminal faction will be allowed to set up a maximum of 2 tool chests at the same time on the map. 
• Once a Tool Chest has been placed down, a buildable area around it will be defined in which the various new furniture items (see below) will be placed. 
• Tool Chests are the heart of the chop shop and it'll be in the controlling faction's interest to protect it because it will be dismantlable by anyone, however, the process is going to be tedious and lengthy and will first require that all furniture is removed. 

New Furniture Items, for the Factions

In order for a player to be able to dismantle parts of a vehicle or chop it entirely, there are 3 new furniture items introduced which the controlling faction has to place down within the Tool Chest area. 

• Car Lift - This furniture item will allow a vehicle to be raised off the ground. This will provide players access to all its wheels and doors, to either dismantle or put them back on.
• Car Jack - This furniture item functions similar to the Car Lift but is a more budget version. It'll allow players access to one side of the vehicle at a time, making the process slower, but cheaper. 
• Engine Hoist - This furniture item allows the player to remove or add an engine. The vehicle needs to be positioned properly next to the engine hoist, and the bonnet of the vehicle needs to be either open or removed. 

The Chopping System, for the Players

Unlike the old system, this new system introduces several parts to a vehicle with which the player themselves have to interact with during the chopping process. However, this also introduces group play, as several players can work on the same vehicle to make the process go faster. In addition, the new system will also give players the option of selling less for less monetary gains or to risk it, and fully dismantle a vehicle for more monetary gains. 

• In order to fully chop a vehicle, all of its parts need to be removed first. This system introduces the following parts that can be dismantled/added to vehicles: (1) Wheels, (2) Doors, (3) Trunk, (4) Bonnet, (5) Engine. 
• Once a vehicle has been stripped of the aforementioned parts, the player will then be able to scrap the vehicle and be given an item called "Vehicle Scrap".
• All of the items obtained from the chopping of a vehicle can be sold to a criminal mechanic NPC, with the engine and vehicle scrap providing the largest monetary payout. 
• To cover your tracks, players will also be able to clean the area of vehicle rubble, which will also be required if the controlling faction wants to move their chop or if a player wants to try and steal the Tool Chest. 

The player will need to make sure that they have the following 3 tools in their inventory if they intend to fully chop and then scrap a vehicle:

1. Consaw - This item can be purchased by any player at any of the criminal mechanic NPCs. It is used to cut a vehicle into scrap metal pieces once the vehicle has been stripped of all its parts.
2. Lug Wrench - This item can be purchased at any General Store and it is used to either remove or add wheels from/to a vehicle. 
3. Wrench - This item can be purchased at any General Store and it is used to either remove or add the doors and engine from/to a vehicle. 

2. NPC Vehicles

We've recognized the lack of vehicles available for criminals to steal, so we're introducing a system that will dynamically spawn NPC vehicles around the map of various classes. This will not only work hand in hand with the reworked chopshop system but will also make it safer for civilians to park personal vehicles in the public to make the environment more lively. 

• Spawned vehicles will not be owned by anyone and will by default be reported stolen if run in the MDC by an officer/deputy. 
• Players will be able to find vehicles or various classes, from low-end to high-end. The more expensive a vehicle is, the more security features it will present, so we implore players to plan their thefts of high-end vehicles carefully and that they are ready to make a getaway. 
• Spawned vehicles will provide players with higher rewards than a player-owned vehicle and will also be easier to steal.
• In order to make the vehicles more natural, the spawned vehicles will have various modifications to make them appear like regular player-owned vehicles. The process by which these modifications are applied is based on already existing vehicles by players, it will simply copy onto the spawned vehicle. 

Similar to our recent roadworker job and where the incidents are dynamic and set up by Admin Staff, so will these vehicles be. Admin Staff will be able to dynamically change the type of vehicles and where they spawn, so the vehicle types and locations will constantly change.

3. Quick Action

To follow the theme of car thefts and the focus on interaction, we have also implemented a new quick action system. This system is similar to the action timers we have now, but instead of relying solely on a random aspect, it will now require interaction and players will have to play a small minigame which will determine their success. This new quick action system requires a player to press the SPACE button whenever a moving blue line around the circle enters a green zone. 

Similar to the chopshop system, this is an experimental feature and may see balance changes in the future. However, it's the beginning of future changes, as we plan to implement this system in various aspects of the game to make roleplay more interactive and fluent overall. 

4. Introducing Hotwiring

We've now also introduced an additional step in stealing vehicles. Unlike before, where you magically received keys to a vehicle, you will now actually be required to hotwire to start a vehicle if you do not have script keys to it. 

• Players will require 1 out of the 2 new items introduced for this hotwiring system, either (1) Screwdriver or (2) Hotwire Kit. 
• The screwdrivers will be easily accessible, they will be cheap and legal to possess similar to bobby pins, and they can be purchased from General Stores. The downside is that it will be harder to hotwire the vehicle with a screwdriver, and for some vehicles, it will be impossible.
• Hotwire Kits are in some cases mandatory depending on the vehicle, but will also make it easier to hotwire than the screwdriver. 
• The difficulty of hotwiring will depend on a vehicle's value, so the more valuable the vehicle is, the more difficult the quick action series will become. 
• Players will want to drive extra carefully with a hotwired vehicle as if it stalls, it will need to be hotwired again. 

5. Weapon Changes

After additional internal discussions among staff members and the criminal community, we are making additional changes to weapon damage. Damage buff for all pistols will be reduced to 20% instead of 50%, while heavy pistols will have their buff completely removed (same as pistol 50).

Horizontal recoil has been decreased, this will make rifles more viable close to mid-range while still making shooting a whole clip long-range difficult.

We have also introduced inventory icons for all weapon items. we hope this will make inventory management easier, especially in stressful situations.

6. Pushing vehicles

With this update, we are also introducing the ability to push vehicles. Players will be able to push all vehicles if their size is reasonable. There are also several restrictions like not being able to push locked vehicles and so on, this is to prevent potential abuse.

7. Drug Labs

We understand that the community is anxiously waiting for the promising Drug Update, but as this is a big project that will need to be completed and then tested for potential changes and bug fixes, we'll look at improving the current system that we do have. 

• In the last update, we introduced a small variation in heat increase for drug tables. Currently, heat increase can vary by 20% in total. It can either be 10% lower or 10% higher. However, we are now reducing this to either 5% lower or higher.
• We are also introducing an additional reduction to crafting time in static labs. Moreover, we will also add additional tables to these static labs. These two changes we hope will make cooking at static labs more viable.

We will continue our review of the current drug labs and find various ways to make them more viable.

8. Other Miscellaneous Changes

• We have implemented vehicle dirt sync. This means vehicle will get dirtier the more you use it. This variable will save and sync to other players. To clean a vehicle currently, a player will have to bring the vehicle to a mechanic shop for visual repair service.
• Players will now be able to carry items in vehicles if they are passengers (carrying items for drivers is disabled)
• Trunk volume for sports vehicles will be increased to 50 (the old value is 20).
• Fleeca Bank's money per pack has been increased to 3500 (the old value is 2000)
• Fleeca Locker's picklock timer has been decreased to 20seconds (the old value is 30 seconds)
• Pick locking vehicle will destroy a bobby pin only if a player fails.
• Packed money will now expire in 3 days (the old value is 1 day)
• Road workers will only have one vehicle available to use, the vetir. This is to revisit the focus of the road workers' job, which was interaction, as we noticed a trend of players bringing their own utility truck and/or personal vehicle to job sites, which resulted in disruption of roleplay and overcrowding. 

9. Final remarks

These are all changes for this update. We hope that this update will provide improvements to mainly criminal but also to civilian and law enforcement roleplay. Expect various balancing changes in regards to this update and keep us updated with your feedback.

ECLIPSE Roleplay Update Notes - 2.6.0

Dear Eclipse Community,

After lots of time spent behind the scenes working on this update, we are proud to announce the 2.6.0 Development Update. In this update, you'll see a focus on various improvements in civilian activities, rework of the GPS system, UI changes, an overhaul of the drug manufacturing process and many different quality of life changes. Without further ado, please find a summary of changes below:-

1. Introducing - New Civilian Jobs

We've introduced four new freelance jobs: toll booth operator, lumberjack, oil mining and PostOP delivery driver. We hope that the first two jobs will bring more visitors to Paleto Bay.

1.1. Toll booth operator

Players can now work as a toll booth operator and earn money by enforcing the passage fee. Working as a toll booth operator is quite simple, you wait for a player to approach, let them pay the fee and then open the toll with /toggleBooth.

1.2. Lumberjack

Players are able to work as a Lumberjack, where they are expected to chop down trees. After a tree is chopped, you can pick up its log, branches and sell it at the lumberjack dropoff point. A hatchet is required for this job.

1.3. Oil mining

To spice things up, we've added another mining job. This one, though, is not for mining ores - this is for mining oil. You are able to become an oil miner, and mine oil. You can sell said oil at the drop-off point. A pickaxe is required for this job.

1.4. PostOP delivery driver

With the addition of the new GPS & mail system that we will cover shortly, we've added a new delivery driver job. Players can work as a delivery driver and send actual mail to other players' homes. It works similarly to the courier job for drivers.

2. Introducing - New GPS & Mail System

We've introduced a new system for GPS and mail. When before, the GPS only gave you the minimap, now you can use your GPS to set a waypoint to an address. For example, if I would like to go to my friend's house whose address is North Rockford Drive 2, I can now do /setgps 2 North Rockford Drive.

In addition to the above, players can now send mail to each other via PostOP. There is a drop-off point next to the PostOP job where players can drop items they would like to send to other players and then input the /sendMail command. The mail will be delivered by actual players.

3. Introducing - Drug Manufacturing Overhaul

Official Criminal Factions are able to order a drug stove from the laptop. This can be used to cook drugs inside a property, but it can also be placed outside. There is a chance that this stove can explode whilst cooking a drug, though, so be careful. When it explodes, the Fire Department and Police Department are notified of this as a fire erupts at the front door.

You are able to buy chemicals needed to create drugs from the Humane Labs Chemical store. These chemicals can be used at the existing static drub labs as well.

4. Introducing - Authentication UI Changes & /logout

The authentication UI has been revamped to look more modest and have better usage. Players are able to choose to save their login details for the same computer to avoid typing in their password each time. Below are two screenshots of the new UI, but make sure to log on to see it for yourself:

We've also added a /logout command for ease of access, so players do not have to relaunch their game if they wish to switch characters. After typing in the command you are met with a screen that tells you when your logout attempt will go through.

5. Introducing - Clothing Inventory

This is a feature that has been asked for from the community for a while now and we're glad to say it has now been implemented. With our new clothing inventory, players can take off clothes from their inventory and vice versa. This also allows to use any undershirt with a proper top. We ask that players do not abuse this feature against other players, and that you only take somebody's clothes when it makes sense in the roleplay. Players abusing this feature will be punished for Non Roleplay.

6. Introducing - Various changes

6.1. Animations

We've introduced a large amount of new animations to the server to enhance roleplay opportunities. List of new animation names can be found in game by using /anim. 

6.2. Flatbed script

Some of you who played here before RAGEMP might remember that we had a Flatbed script that allowed mechanics to tow vehicles (including bikes) onto the Flatbed. After we moved to RAGE, we were unable to bring that script across, but we're proud to say that we've now been able to re-implement it on RAGE.

6.3. Speaker

We disabled speakers a month ago due to issues with the way they worked at the time. We've now re-enabled them, and they are now based on YouTube song links. In addition to that, it has a new UI that shows what is being played and commands for the usage of the speaker.

6.4. Bolt cutters

Players are now able to purchase bolt cutters from general stores. These can be used to cut the locks of furniture doors (gates, doors etc.) It works similarly to bobby pins - the bolt cutters can break. If you fail at cutting the lock, the owner of the property will be notified.

6.5. Pets

We've reintroduced pets to the server. Older players might remember that we had a pet shop where players could purchase cats, dogs etc. Exotic animals can be purchased with credits. If you owned a pet during our GT-MP days, you will still have the pet after you log in. You can spawn / despawn your pet with /pet.

6.6. Paleto Bay additions

Two new general stores and a barber shop have been added to Paleto Bay. This is something that has been requested by the community for a while and we are happy to announce the addition of these services.

6.7. Bayview has moved

We've decided to move Bayview to Paleto Bay. A big reason behind this is to encourage our players to roleplay in Paleto Bay more with less service limitations. We also felt that is a required change because the two mechanic factions were so close together.

Thanks to @Serthon for help in writing this devblog and the whole staff team for testing the update!

ECLIPSE Roleplay Update Notes - 2.5.0

Dear Eclipse Community,

After weeks of hard work, I am proud to announce the 2.5.0 Development Update. In this update, you'll see a focus on various Quality of Life & Finance additions. Without further ado;

1. Introducing - Action Timer

We've added an action timer to most actions in the game. This prevents players from doing actions unrealistically fast and overall provides more immersion to the roleplay scenery.

2. Introducing - Recoil

In order to make shooting more realistic, we've introduced recoil to shooting. Before this, you could shoot in a straight line, but hopefully with this addition shootouts will become more realistic and require more skill.

Left is controlled, right is uncontrolled

3. Introducing - Financial UI & Debt

3.1. Wire Transfer

We've introduced a way for players to transfer money directly with this new feature. You can now transfer money to anyone you wish from this UI.

3.2. Salary

Instead of just doing a command at the bank, you can now take your salary out from the financial UI under the Salary tab.

3.3. Debt

Prior to this addition, there were no repercussions of being imprisoned for charges with heavy tickets if you had no money. After this update, players will go into debt if they do not have the money to pay back their fines.

For example, if you go to prison with $0 in your bank account and your fines are $11,200, your total debt will be $11,200.

To pay your debt, you can go under the debt tab and choose how much you want to pay.

4. Introducing - Prison Currency & Activities

4.1. Prison Currency & Store

After being imprisoned, you receive 500 stamps (prison currency) by default. You can use these to buy items from the commissary. To earn stamps, you can spend your 500 stamps to buy a pickaxe and go mining ore in the yard. You can sell these ores for stamps next to the commissary.

These stamps convert to pocket money after your release.

4.2. Prison Activities

This has been a topic for a longer period in the community - players wished for more activities in prison. We've heard your feedback and have introduced poker and mining into the prison. Poker won't be for money, but rather the prison currency, stamps. As mentioned in 4.1., players can earn stamps from mining.

5. Introducing - Map & GPS

In order to see the mini-map, you now must have the GPS item in your inventory. If you wish to see the map from the Esc menu, you have to have the Map item in your inventory. These items are purchasable from any general store.

6. Introducing - General Additions

6.1. Pointing

Some older players might remember our pointing system back in GT-MP that we had to get rid of after moving over to RAGE:MP, but we've now been able to add the function back!  You are now able to point your finger at any direction.

6.2. Mask Rework

Previously, to toggle a mask on and off, you did /masktoggle. This has now changed - to take your mask off, you must do /masktoggle and to put it on, you have to equip it from your inventory.

6.3. Minor Weazel News Addition

Weazel News have been given two new commands; /weazelCamera and /weazelMicrophone. Hopefully with these new commands, Weazel News can bring in more immersive roleplay scenarios to the server.

RULE ADDITIONS

We've added a new section the the rulebook, 16. Building. This section reflects on the realism of building and its limits. To get a clearer understanding of the rules, here is the quote of the new rules;

Quote

• Structures must not block any publicly used roads or pathways. 

• Building is not allowed during the active rp situations.

• Player may only build the structures on the property he has permissions to.

• Structures may not be used to create any obscene shapes or forms.

• Player placed structures may not block widely used entrances and exits.

• Stashspot of houses must be accessible and not blocked by the player built structures.

• All player built structures must be realistic and follow the rules of real world physics.

  • Example: Furniture must not float in the air unsupported by any other elements.

FULL CHANGELOG:

(including all changes made since the last forum post)

• [Sirens] Synced siren lights of all emergency vehicles.
• Disabled shooting if in any animation
• Fixed carrybody when entering buildings
• [Phone/Bug] Fixed bug where phone would be loaded as functional, when it should be turned off

ECLIPSE Roleplay Update Notes - 2.4.0

Dear Eclipse Community,

After weeks of hard work, I am proud to announce the 2.4.0 Development Update. In this update, you'll see a focus on civilian features and some minor changes all throughout. Without further ado;
 

 1. Introducing - The Mining Job

Located in the Great Chaparral of Blaine County, is the once Abandoned Mine Shaft. You grab the mining job from the outside and then proceed to press E on veins to begin mining. Each ore takes up 10 volume of your inventory, and there are 5 different ores to choose from, each comes with a different value (Tin - Copper - Lead - Iron - Bauxite)

Once you have the ores that you want, you need to head over to the foundry in the Industrial Site of Los Santos and simply drop the ores inside the drop off point, which will then give you money. The system is very much like the drug selling points, the amount you get depends on the demand.

2. Introducing - Player Owned General Stores

Players will now be able to own General Stores around San Andreas and manage them as you would any other business. The system will work in hand with the trucking job, and they will need to deliver cargo that you import as a store owner. This is pretty self-explanatory and it opens up new opportunities for players that have been wanting to own a business. 

Stores will be available to be purchased on release across the 24/7s in San Andreas, including those connected to gas stations, so be ready!

3. Introducing - The New Prison

The new prison has long been wanted by the Eclipse Community, especially those from Department of Corrections and its frequent visitors. Our old prison interior was made in 2017 but throughout the years, new ideas came to light and a new prison was created by Dario Moretti who is a member of the Department of Corrections. 

This new prison offers larger space for inmates, it's more open and it offers more role-play opportunities for inmates and correctional officers. We hope that the community will enjoy the implementation as much as we do.

4. Introducing - Hunting, Hunger & Thirst

We're turning this into a survival game (not really) but up until now, you've all been walking around feeling no thirst or hunger, and how could that possibly be a good simulation of real life? With thirst and hunger, you will be forced to occasionally eat and drink or suffer the consequences, which is death. 

To work hand-in-hand with the hunger and thirst system, we've also implemented hunting. Right now, you can only hunt with weapons that we've got available In-Game, including melee weapons, and it requires no expertise. It's not a scripted job so anyone can just go and hunt animals. The hunting grounds are the forests of Blaine County, you will find animals such as chickens, hen, rabbits, deers, boars and more - but be careful, some of them might fight back. 

After killing an animal, you can gut it, as long as you've got a knife equipped, you simply type /gut and it will begin the process. Once you've gutted the animal, you have to get the meat out of its inventory, and then what you want to do with the meat is up to you, you have 3 options. 

1) You can eat the meat raw, and suffer a slight health loss.
2) You can cook the meat and then eat it.
3) You can sell the meat to the butcher, which works the same as the foundry and the drug selling points.

For the less lighthearted, if animal meat is not enough, you can do this same process with human meat (players), but be careful - Deathmatching rules still apply and it might get you in trouble with the law!

4. Introducing - General Additions

5.1 Speakers

Each general store can now import speakers for players to buy and place on the ground. The speakers will only play radio stations link, not youtube links. E.g. http://us4.internet-radio.com:8266/stream

5.2 Ability to Strip Ammo

This has been a wanted feature for a few months now, and it's finally here - the ability to strip ammo from guns in your inventory.

ENDING STATEMENT

This is our second major update since the 2.3.0 update and we're very happy with the response we've gotten so far from our sneak peeks. We've been focusing heavily on the civilian side of Eclipse RP as we feel that there need to be more options than being a criminal or a legal faction member. 

We've tested this update as much as we could, but obviously, it's going to be different when there are 200+ players on the server. If you experience any bugs after this update, please make sure that you create bug reports so that they can be fixed in a timely manner.

ECLIPSE Roleplay Update Notes - 2.3.0

Dear Eclipse Community,

After weeks of hard work, I am proud to announce the 2.3.0 Development Update. In this update, you'll see many new and changed features to improve the general roleplay immersion, as well as create opportunities for new roleplay scenes. Without further ado;
 

1. Introducing - The Ability to Join Multiple Factions

We've long been wanting to implement a system where our players can be a part of more than one faction. We want our players to create characters and build their character's story after their preference. For example, why shouldn't a Police Officer be able to work part-time as a Medic, or a criminal be able to sneak in and be a mechanic? Right now, you are limited to two factions, which is still better than one.

Commands: 

The only commands that are affected by this change are /(f)action and /fmute, which now requires you to input value before the message.

• /(f)action [FactionID] [Message], 0 = Your first faction, 1 = Your second faction. 

• /fmute [FactionID], 0 = Your first faction, 1 = Your second faction.

2. Introducing - Dead Player's Bodies

This feature has been a long wanted feature from all sides of the community, and after deliberating and testing ways that this could work, we've come up with a system that suits your needs and our wants. 

When a player is killed, a model of their body will spawn in their place. This body will remain on the ground for 30 minutes and can be interacted with, its inventory can be looted and wounds analyzed. Bodies can be despawned before the 30 minutes if they are carried to the Los Santos Hospital and dropped at a specific point. 

Commands: 

• /analysewounds will work on either alive and injured players or bodies of dead players. If you are analyzing a dead player, you must use /analysewounds false

• Pressing I besides a dead player's body will open up their inventory. Any items the player had on them before death will be available in this inventory, with the exception if the player died in a No Crime Zone.

2.1 Introducing - Ability to Carry & Storing Players & Bodies in Trunks

In addition to introducing Dead Player's Bodies, we are also proud to introduce the ability to carry injured players, dead player's bodies and the ability to store them in your vehicle's trunk.

Commands: 

• /carrybody to pick up the nearest body to your player model. You are unable to carry more than 1 body at once.

• /dropbody to drop the body which your character is carrying. 

• /storebody to store the player's body in your vehicle's trunk. The trunk is required to be open before you can store it.

• /entertrunk to manually enter the trunk of a car. The trunk is required to be open before you can enter it.

• /leavetrunk to leave the trunk of the vehicle. The trunk is required to be open before you can exit it.

2.2 Introducing - Ability to Revive Injured Players & Dispose of Dead Bodies

The Eclipse Roleplay Community have long wanted a feature to be able to revive injured players, and after deliberating and working around the idea of our system of carrying bodies, we're proud to announce that it's now possible for you to revive injured players. We hope that this will ease up the workload for our Los Santos Emergency Medical Services and for them to be able to spend quality time on scenes and go more in-depth with their medical roleplay.

There are no commands to this system other than the commands for carrying and dropping bodies. You take the injured player inside the Los Santos Hospital and drop them at a marked point inside of the interior, upon dropping the player they will be revived. If the player you are carrying is dead, instead of reviving, their body will just be disposed of. 

3. Introducing - Changes to the Firearms Permit System

This is a controversial change that we've decided to push through because we want to improve the quality of roleplay in our community. In the past, you've been able to get a firearms permit and purchase legal firearms despite the character you play, you could become a serial killer, get caught, go to prison, get out from prison and still purchase a firearms permit and legal firearms, but with this change, you won't be able to.

Firearms Permits will now be processed by the Los Santos Police Department's Firearms and Licensing Division. There is a list of a wide variety of requirements, both IC and OOC, that you must meet in order to qualify for a firearms license. While this change might raise disagreements/concerns, we are confident that this is the best option moving forward -- if you're building the character story of a criminal, we want you to focus on being a criminal and obtain firearms through connections and gangs.

With this change, to avoid the emergency stockpiling of firearms, we have reset everyone's firearms licenses and you will now need to re-apply for a firearms license with the Los Santos Police Department. We hope that you can understand and respect this choice, and why we changed it. We are not trying to run a GTA Online community, we're running a roleplay community and we strive for realism and immersion.

Each gun that you purchase from a gun store will now come with a serial number will be used by the police to track the owner of the gun, where and when it was purchased, and to report the gun stolen. Guns imported by illegal factions will not come with a serial number.

4. Introducing - General Immersion Changes

4.1 Weapon Drawing Animations

Each weapon (gun) now has a drawing animation to delay the drawing process.

4.2 Crosshair Removal

Crosshairs for weapons have been removed as we find the crosshair being an out of character guide to aiming. We ask our player base to play fair and adapt to this immersion change like everyone else.

4.3 Faction Properties & Ability to have multiple builders.

Faction Leaders can now attach their property to their faction and edit permissions for groups/branches to manage the property, access the property and to build in the property. This will allow for more than one person to build in the property, which is a good immersion change. 

(Property being the properties that you can purchase, e.g. the Irish Tavern is a property).

Commands:

• The permissions are edited in the F4 menu by faction leaders.

• /attachFaction and /deattachFaction [FactionID] to attach and deattach [FactionID] properties to/from factions. Can only be used by the property owner.
 

4.4Ability to Open Vehicle Doors, Trunk & Hood.

This is another wanted feature by the Eclipse Roleplay Community. By simply pressing O when you're standing beside a vehicle that is unlocked, you can open its doors/hood and/or trunk.

4.5 Ability to Transfer Vehicles

We've had a lot of requests to implement a system where you can transfer a vehicle for free to another player without using the car markets and risk your car being taken by another player. This command does not give you a price input, so if you use this for your vehicle sales, then you must remember that you are not protected by any scamming rules as they do not exist.

Commands:

• /TransferVehicle [Receiver] [LicensePlate] to send a transfer request.

• /acceptTransfer [LicensePlate] to accept the transfer request.

RULE CHANGES

We are also proud to announce some changes to our server rules. One rule that is being eliminated is Killing on Sight, we will no longer allow players to attack one another without engaging in roleplay beforehand, so Killing on Sight as you knew it before, no longer exists. We're also adding a rule which removes the new player protection for new players that deliberately insert themselves into or start active crime scenes. We're also adding a rule to prison breaks that all prison breaks will now require approval from a Moderator+ who will spectate the event and make sure that it consists of quality role-play, proper planning and that there's sufficient law enforcement to handle the prison break. 

The rule changes go into effect immediately.

OLD:
    Kill on Sight (KoS) is the act of killing a player with no engagement in roleplay. 
    The person who has KoS rights must have evidence prior to committing the kill.
    Killing a player without warning or roleplay is allowed only within 24 hours of:
    • Your life being threatened not including law enforcement aiming weaponry.
    • The life of your friend or ally is presently being threatened or if you have witnessed it happen.
    • A player attempting to steal your assets worth greater than $75,000 not including vehicles.

CURRENT:
    The act of killing a player with no engagement in roleplay is not allowed.
    Killing a player that has obeyed all orders and demands during a roleplay situation is allowed,
    with roleplay, only within 3 hours of:

    • Severe hostile or criminal action is taken against you, 
    e.g. someone is robbing you at gunpoint. (Excluding police aiming a gun at you.)
    • Someone is attempting to take your life.
    • Someone is attempting to take the life of your close friend or ally, or if you have witnessed it happen.

OLD:    
    ● Players may participate in no more than 1 prison break attempt within 1 OOC week.
    ● Official Factions may attempt 2 additional breaks in the case the prisoner is the faction leader.

CURRENT: 
    ● Permission for prison break must be approved by a Moderator+ prior to the attempt.
    ● Players may participate in no more than 1 prison break attempt within 1 OOC week.
    ● Official Factions may attempt 2 additional breaks in the case the prisoner is the faction leader.

OLD:    
    ● Players cannot steal from players with “NEW PLAYER” above their head unless it is in retaliation.

CURRENT: 
    ● Players cannot steal from players with “NEW PLAYER” above their head unless it is in retaliation.
    ● Players with the (( NEW PLAYER )) tag that deliberately insert themselves into or start active crime scenes 
    lose their new player protection during those illegal activities.

SCAMMING & GAMBLING IN NO CRIME ZONES

This has been a question for many and we know that our players have been told different things by members of staff, so we want to clear it up once and for all.

Playing gambling games in No Crime Zones is not allowed if you are doing it for any form of asset (money/vehicles etc) as it's considered as Illegal Gambling and that would be a violation of our No Crime Zone rule.

Scamming is No Crime Zones will no longer be seen as a No Crime Zone Violation. If you're trying to find ways to dodge taxes of selling houses or cars, that's entirely on your own responsibility and we will not be reversing any sales or refunding any money moving forward. If you want to have a safe way of selling cars, houses and other equipment, use the scripts that we have in place for that. We hope that this will clear things up and that we can move forward from this topic.

ENDING STATEMENT

We would like to thank everyone in the community for their patience, it's been a really long journey for us and a stressful one, and it's not over here. We understand that a lot of sides of the community want to have development done and we're slowly getting there, but we have to prioritize requests that will improve the general quality of life and roleplay.

We've tested this update as much as we could, but obviously, it's going to be different when there are 200+ players on the server. If you experience any bugs after this update, please make sure that you create bug reports so that they can be fixed in a timely manner.

ECLIPSE Roleplay Update Notes - 1.1.1

The Hitman Update

In this update we will be introducing the Hitman Agency (as seen in the community update #1). The Hitman Agency is a sanctuary for those who have traded their souls to the devil. The Agency composes of a single director and his/her minions. Hitmen are anonymous, they are not a faction, a gang, a job, they can be anyone. 

Placing a Contact
Anyone can place a contact on anyone, providing you have a valid reason and evidence to support it. To do so, you will have to SMS a Hitman in game, the number of the Agency will have to be found out in character. Once you have found your Hitman, you can meet up and discuss the details of your contract. From there you will accept or reject the terms and move on.

Onto the Hitman
In order for the contract to be processed, the Hitman must first collect information on the target, this includes the targets name, description, relationships, activities, common locations, vehicles and weapons. Then, a plan of termination must be formed. Once all this information is gathered, it is then submitted for Directors approval. The Director will then review the evidence to make sure that the server rules have been followed and that enough information has been collected to make a logical kill.

Preparing the Kill
The Director has reviewed and approved for the target to be terminated. The assigned Hitman will collect a vehicle from a random location on the map. This vehicle contains a Silenced Sniper Rifle with 10 ammo and a Silenced (regular) Pistol with 100 ammo. Before you get giddy, the sniper rifle can only be picked up, withdrawn and carried by Hitmen, so if you see one, steer clear! The Hitman will now make their way to the target location to proceed with The Plan.

The Kill
The Hitman is in position and is ready to terminate the target, they pull the trigger, the target is downed, the Hitman finishes them off. The target then wakes up in the Hospital and receives a message: "You were severely injured by the Hitman known as [Alias], your debit card was stolen and your account has been accessed, the hacker stole [10-30% of the contract amount]." If you place a contract on someone for $100k and they are terminated and the Hitmans "take" is 20%, they will lose $20k, that $20k will go to the Hitman. The original contract amount goes to the Agency for weapons and running costs. If you are the target and you manage to kill your Hitman at any point during the contract, the contract will be voided and you are safe. The person who placed the contract will not receive a refund.

FAQs
Q: How do I become a Hitman?
A: Hitmen are hand picked by the Director.

Q: Who is the Director?
A: The Director is anonymous.

Q: Can I cancel my contract?
A: No, only the Director may void a contract (you are refunded in this case).

Q: If my contact is rejected, what happens to the money?
A: You are refunded.

Q: How do I create a contract?
A: Go to the Game Panel (https://panel.eclipse-rp.net/hitman) and click Create Contract.

Q: What if I feel like my contract was DM?
A: Steps have been taken to ensure that this is not the case.
