Our goal with this newsletter is to give players a better look into our current focuses, recent changes, and a sneak-peek into upcoming developments. DEVELOPMENT If you’re a member of our Discord server, you may notice that the focus of this month has been a few quality of life changes alongside some EPIC new features. If you want to get a full look at everything in detail, join the aforementioned Discord server and check out the development channel! General Updates The chat has received a full overhaul; allowing full configuration for size, font, opacity, fade rate, and more! Head in-game to check out the full scope of changes. A functional cinema has been added on Vinewood Boulevard where players can queue up videos to watch together. Functional TVs have been added to certain TV furniture items so players can watch videos together in the comfort of their own property. An altimeter has been added to the player HUD when in an aircraft.

Added desk nameplates for SADOC, PD, SD, and MD as spawnable objects. Added spawnable pride flags and optional mapping. Added new lights to the furniture store. Criminal Updates Added brand new graffiti script. Gangs can now gain or lose territory influence by tagging their turf with graffiti. Tagging rival gangs’ turfs with graffiti will cause them to lose influence. Tags can be removed by spraying over it with another tag or cleaning it with a microfiber cloth. Graffiti will decay over time. Gangs can use /viewTerritoryTags to check the tag statistics within their territory. Prison fine cap has been set to $75,000. New player/VIP reductions are calculated after reaching the fine cap. I.E. If you get 150k in fines, they are reduced to 75k before applying the reduction calculations.
