Someone may have very well played a joke on you because a thread almost identical to this was made when the unit designation for a helicopter was "X-RAY" and the person was informed of this, and assumed that it meant law enforcement had actual x-ray or x-ray capabilities on their helicopters. This isn't the case. So, someone may have been referencing that and spread misinformation. Law enforcement helicopters have a spotlight and night vision, which just turns the screen green and brighten up light sources, that's it. Thermal vision is not part of the helicopter, is very rarely applied and heavily regulated, and would not have been used for this. You were likely caught due to an alert made by the script to law enforcement of an ATM being destroyed, which has a (very notably low) chance of happening every time you press space in the minigame.

This also includes the vending machine input box, as I've just come across that. I'd just assume anything that has an identical input box has the same issue.

Date and time (provide timezone): 16/JUN/2024, 10:22 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When typing in the input field to access a person's evidence locker, with N or M (P is fine), it will toggle your VOIP momentarily, the same way it did when the server updated to fix the helicam VOIP and anything typed in chat would toggle VOIP. Expected behavior: To be able to type in someone's name without VOIP toggling on every N or M keypress. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Try to open a person's evidence locker, type in someone's name, and press N and M. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Date and time (provide timezone): 16/JUN/2024, 10:22 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When typing in any input field in the MDC, with N or M (P is fine), it will toggle your VOIP momentarily, the same way it did when the server updated to fix the helicam VOIP and anything typed in chat would toggle VOIP. Expected behavior: To be able to type in the MDC without VOIP toggling on every N or M keypress. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Open the MDC, type in someone's name or search charges, or a plate or whatever, and press N and M. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Date and time (provide timezone): 16/JUN/2024, 09:14 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: Occasionally when logging in, the faction loadout UI just doesn't show, and it requires a full client restart to be able to see and use it. Expected behavior: For it to just work. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: I don't think it's easy to replicate given that it's mostly based on chance, but it's been happening quite frequently. The UI will just be a small rectangle. It is then only fixed with a full client restart. Here's a video. https://streamable.com/hwlpav Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Yes, either add identical durability or make them washable after a few uses so that you don't need more than one. The time off-set is insane. Yes.

I'm well aware, given that I'm the one posting said LSPD updates, but that doesn't take away that the general place that is browsed is this forum.

Hey, you'll want to post this in the community suggestions section of the forums. This section is exclusively for reporting bugs and features not working as intended.

I'm only really going to engage with this reply because it's generally respectful and not engaging in what is forming. If it were that easy, it would have already been resolved. First, there was a Head Administrator who practically verbally abused and degraded LSPD recruitment members for even considering selective timezone recruitment, now that he's no longer with us, attempts are made but it is still difficult. It's hard to recruit for late timezones when late timezones, or early depending on where you're at, are for many where the "issues" (very subjective, of course) arise, drives them away, reduces numbers, which then, in turn, makes it difficult to retain new members in those circumstances for that specific time slot. We've done the math, it's damn near rocket science, and I wish it were as easy as to say "Okay, we're going to recruit for this time and this time only". We're still assigning and advancing people to positions of responsibility internally based on knowing that they will be able to provide more guidance and direction for our members in this time slot to help with player retention, but it is a very, very lengthy process that is not as simple as we would hope it to be.

Relatively simple, create an "Official Press" or similarly named subforum under the "In-Character" category on these forums. Given that Weazel News as a faction, for example, puts in plenty of effort from many different people when making newspapers, I don't believe they should be tucked away and hidden behind a bunch of other subforums. Players shouldn't have to click on Weazel News on the forum to find the "Newspaper" forum. In fact, because it's so hidden, I can guarantee you the vast majority of new forum users wouldn't even know unless they specifically clicked the Weazel forum section out of interest or because of job opportunities IC. You can then also give access to factions such as LSPD, LSSD, LSEMS, SADOC, etc. beyond Weazel News to post a copy of their press releases there, so that they aren't just limited to the government forums and are more accessible, because sometimes they just might have information that is relevant to a wider audience that might browse the main forum but not the government forum. The argument could be made that most "core players" that already know and want to know of these things know where to find them, be that in the weazel section or the government forum, but this won't take more than a few minutes to set up by server management and it'll at the very least make weazel's releases easier to find.

Date and time (provide timezone): 09/JUN/2024, 09:45 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When the chat is set to the max line number, which is 20, the last few lines conflict with the placement of the mini MDC, at least on my resolution which is 2560x1440, resulting in the mini MDC obstructing the chat. Expected behavior: For the mini MDC to be below the chat and not obstruct the chat lines. Currently, at least on 1440p, it is not centered, so perhaps just center it on the side of the screen, which should be under the chat and would resolve the problem with relative ease. Please don't reduce the max chat lines, just move the mini MDC instead! Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Set your chat lines to 20 and open the mini MDC. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A.

Date and time (provide timezone): 09/JUN/2024, 08:53 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When opening the apartment management menu for permissions, I noticed the only player with permissions still displayed their old name ("Ashley Quinn"). I then thought it may be based on name as opposed to whatever ID is assigned to a character, so I attempted to add her under her new name ("Ashley Flores"), which brought me back to Ashley Quinn, her old name. Unsure if relevant, but the name change was by an administrator and not the credit store. Expected behavior: The name should be adjusted and reflect the current name of the character. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Add a player to your apartment with permissions, change their name, and check the list of characters with permissions. https://streamable.com/px410b Vehicle license plate number*: N/A.

Date and time (provide timezone): 08/JUN/2024, 17:09 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When in the helicam and locked onto a vehicle, it is static at 0 kmh, or displays the accurate speed for ~1 second before going to 0 kmh. Expected behavior: Speed should be displayed accurately, or semi-accurately. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Get into the passenger seat of a helicopter with a helicam, open the helicam, and lock onto a driving vehicle. Vehicle license plate number*: AIR-1, I suppose. But no personal vehicle associated.

This has been fixed and can be archived, thanks!

Date and time (provide timezone): 08/JUN/2024, 16:45 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When in the helicam, you cannot use VOIP. Expected behavior: You should be able to use VOIP. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Get into the passenger seat of a helicopter with a helicam, open the helicam, and try to use VOIP by pressing N or M. Vehicle license plate number*: AIR-1, I suppose. But no personal vehicle associated.

Date and time (provide timezone): 08/JUN/2024, 16:26 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: Multiple players can open the helicam at the same time, and the most recent player might actually take control from the previous player. Expected behavior: When one player has the helicam opened and enabled, no one else should be able to open it; especially not take control from them. Only one player should be able to use the helicam at a given time. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Enter a helicopter with multiple passengers, all press H and take control of the helicam, one by one. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A

Date and time (provide timezone): 08/JUN/2024, 16:13 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: Helicam spotlight may not be properly synced at all times. Initially, the spotlight was not visible on the end of the other player(s), then after some time (and potentially trial and error by @MrSilky and @Gaz.), it ended up working, but it did not initially. Expected behavior: Spotlight should be properly synced for all players. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Approach a crowd of people, preferably someone in screen share, and attempt to enable the spotlight. The below screenshots were taken at the same time. Vehicle license plate number*: AIR-1, I suppose. But no personal vehicle associated.

Date and time (provide timezone): 08/JUN/2024, 16:05 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When pressing NUM 5 to enable the spotlight, it works fine. However, if you then press NUM 5 again, it doesn't disable the spotlight as intended. Instead, it takes away my control and it no longer follows my aim, but it stays enabled. Expected behavior: Pressing NUM 5 the first time, should enable the spotlight. Pressing it again, should disable it. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Get into a helicopter, press H, press NUM 5 to enable the spotlight, then press NUM 5 again in an attempt to disable it. Vehicle license plate number*: AIR-1, I suppose. But no personal vehicle associated.

Date and time (provide timezone): 08/JUN/2024, 16:00 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When you lock onto a vehicle with helicam (SPACE) and exit back out the helicam (H), the spotlight is supposed to come off, and the helicam is supposed to "break". Instead, if the spotlight is on and you're locked onto a vehicle, then exit the helicam, the spotlight will keep tracking the vehicle, no matter what, even if it is meant to break line of sight. Expected behavior: When the helicam is closed, the spotlight should be disabled. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Get into a helicopter, press H, lock onto a vehicle, press NUM 5 to turn on the spotlight, then close the helicam with H again. It will keep the spotlight tracking the vehicle, whereas it is supposed to "break" the camera and spotlight. Vehicle license plate number*: AIR-1, I suppose. But no personal vehicle associated.

We've honestly been asking for these things for months now, and it's kind of overdue at this point. The fact is that the simple addition of which impound someone is at can significantly improve response time and provide more clarity to LEOs. I'll share here, what is on the LSPD's development request for the impound that affects both LEOs and non-LEOs.

Admins should not adjust the weather back to sunny just because it started raining. Only for events that require a certain kind of weather setting or for thunderstorms that are obnoxiously loud, and even then, those should only be adjusted if they last too long. Frankly put, it is extremely backward and forceful. Just because a senior administrator doesn't like the weather, you shouldn't get to decide that I don't like it either and don't get it on the server. I get that we're meant to be in Los Angeles, California, but it's part of the game, the atmosphere, and the roleplay. Stop forcing your personal weather preferences on me and other players who don't mind a little rain sometimes.

This literally used to be a thing. I kid you not, we were so advanced in 2017 that it even informed you that you missed # text messages in chat upon logging in on a character. Shocking! Both of these things need to come back, IMO.

Date and time (provide timezone): 05/JUN/2024, 15:41 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When typing, you can no longer select everything you've typed so far by pressing CTRL + A, likely after the most recent development post indicating that "CTRL + A selecting everything" was fixed. Given this update, I'm not sure if this will actually be seen as a "bug", but in the previous chat, you were able to CTRL + A to select all typed text in your input box and not select the chat itself. Expected behavior: To be able to select all typed text in the input box by pressing CTRL + A. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Type something after pressing T and try to select whatever was typed by using CTRL + A. Vehicle license plate number*: Not relevant to vehicles.

Date and time (provide timezone): 11/MAY/2024, 15:33 UTC Character name: Elena Flores Issue/bug you are reporting: When you provide a duration for auto lock that does not fall within the 1-10 second range, it prints a message in chat informing you of such. However, in said message, "between" is spelled as "betweeb". Expected behavior: For the message to have the word "between" and not "betweeb". Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Set your auto lock duration to 11.
