Perpheads Forums

It's time for a major update (kind of)... The majority of the updates are bug fixes, but I've included a few little extras for your enjoyment!

Another small update went live this morning, with the aim of improving a few areas of the game-play, as well as some bug fixes.

• Added more Suduko levels
• Added more staff logs
• TFU slots now scale based on the number of Officers on duty
• Due to over pollution of fishing areas, fishing rods now can hook other items as including some rarer and more valuable items
• All Officers can view the properties of a warranted suspect
• Added bandages to the default police gear
• The nightstick can now push people
• Cuffed players can now sit down
• Added Roadcrew voice radio
• Exposure to fire now properly removes the DNA from corpses
• Fixed explosions not reducing the time a player can be revived for
• Fixed bug where players would appear crouching while standing up
• Fixed a couple of exploits

@Fredy also pushed a small hot-fix...

As you may of have noticed, @MrLewis has sadly resigned from his role as Senior Administrator. We'd like to thank him for his hard work and time he has given toward the staff team and the community during his time.

As a result, I've been attempting to decide who would be the right fit for the role, and have come to the conclusion that two Senior Administrators would be beneficial to pushing the staff team forward. This way we can handle refund requests, general community work & staff-related matters more effectively.

I hope you'll join me in congratulating @TinySlayer and @ayjay ツ to their new roles, and give them both a warm welcome to the Senior Administration team.

Thank you.

We have another small quality of life update today bundled together with a whole bunch of things @TinySlayer fixed.

• Added a visible timer when in jail
• The backdoor of the PD now opens automatically (like the front door)
• Added cool down to stim packs and slightly rebalanced them

Today we have a slightly bigger update for you that mainly focuses on changing crafting drastically and adding smoke detectors. Here's the full changelog:

• Reworked crafting to not be as interactive anymore and generally much easier to use
  • You don't have to click on individual components to add them to the mixture anymore
  • Added a nice overview of the mixture that lists all skills required to craft it from scratch and additionally any raw ingredients you are missing to fully craft this item (any intermediate items you already have are taken into account as well)
    • Spoiler: Tree Overview

      
  • You can now craft an entire item even though you don't have all immediate ingredients, as long as you have enough ingredients to craft any intermediate...

After some time without any updates (mostly because of me being extremely busy) we now have a semi-heavy update for you. While most of the changes are relatively small I think they will improve the experience of everyone a lot.
Changes:

• Fixed legs not being shown when you look down
• You can now choose to whisper in voice chat - limiting the range you can be heard from - by changing the mode using a key configurable in the F1 Menu (default G)

Just a quick follow up to the update from yesterday.

• We updated the TV model to give it a more modern look. (Thanks @Carrot)

• The volume setting for TVs in the F1 menu now takes effect immediately, even while playing a video
• The video does not restart anymore after having been fully played

A medium-sized update with a couple more cool changes.

Television
You'll be happy to hear that the television has received a long-awaited update.

• Full YouTube URL's are now supported. (we may be adding support for other sources in the future)
• Previously device-blocked videos are now supported.
• TV's can now be paused at a specific time rather than fully stopping
• Buddy's with 'Physgun props' access can now change the video / pause the video.
• Shooting the TV pauses the video (to deter annoying TV's whilst raiding)
• Video timestamps are now supported.

House alarms

• Unowned properties now have house alarms.
• Crowbars instantly trigger the house alarm.
• Bobby pins breaking now have a chance of...

Just another update that is mainly meant to improve the mechanics and feel of the server.

Melee weapons now use a much better method for detecting whether or not you hit someone. Previously you could only ever hit someone with any melee weapon if you directly looked at them while clicking. Now there's a lot of room for you to hit someone as long as the person you are trying to hit is in the range of the swing of your weapon.

This will also affect fists, as well as their functions such as dragging/pushing, which means it should be much easier pushing someone trying to run away, or dragging someone who is constantly moving.

Since this change will severely improve melee weapons and as a result they might currently be overpowered, so if that is the case we will change the balancing soon.

We also finally added the katana that Xquality made ages ago but never added because we didn't know how to...

Just a small update today with a few cool changes

1. Almost completely rewrote the event system

As you can see it is now extremely easy for the senior administration to setup events, and they should be very robust now too. This means we can now have events a lot more often than before.
Furthermore the new system is easy to extend, which means we can add quite a few fun events by writing only a few lines of code. So you'll probably see some new small but cool events soon.

2. The SWAT Van is now destructible
This has been requested for a very long time and finally it has been implemented. While the SWAT van is still significantly stronger than a regular car, it can probably be taken down by an org if they have...

Today the staff team had a full meeting to discuss matters the community wanted dealing with, aswell as other's we felt had to be changed. Below they'll be listed, we hope you're happy with the changes, of course if you have any concerns or queries let us know, have a good day everyone.

• Construction booklet has been removed for the time being, it will stay in the F1 menu however user's are free to ignore this entirely.
• 2.5 has been reworded and slightly changed, take a look.
• 3.8 has been adjusted.
• 3.10 has had the booklet reference removed.
• 4.8 has been edited, take a look.
• Bans - Any user who has been banned longer than a period of 6 months, who hasn't been toxic, cheated, ddos'd or negatively impacted the server in a large way, has been unbanned. We realised that a lot of staff were simply placing users on a permanent ban for simply jumping off...

Today's update is a big one and it touches something that hasn't really changed since the very release of Perpheads: Drugs, specifically the planted ones, i.e. Marijuana and Cocaine.

We completely revamped the current system while trying not to overwhelm the community with a very hard to use system.

The changes include:

• Single pots lose their ability to grow drugs in; they are now merely a container to be used in bigger planter boxes. The model has also been updated to match a real planting pot
  Spoiler: New pot model

  
• The big pots have been repurposed into basic planter boxes
  Spoiler: New planter box

  
  • Basic planters are supposed to give everyone a growing experience that closely resembles the way it was before.
  • Instead of...

Hi everyone, earlier on today the staff team brought up all their concerns regarding rules and changes have been made. These rules are now added and in full effect so be sure to check them out to gain a full understanding of them. If you have any concerns then contact either me or bolli and we will review them as soon as possible!

• Rule 3.3 - Realistic actions - Furthermore, players should take great care whilst climbing. Players should not attempt to boost people onto buildings or structures, nor should they climb onto objects which realistically would not hold their weight.<Addition

• Rule 3.20 - Disconnecting from the server - Players should also wait at least 10 minutes prior to leaving the server after committing a crime; this does not apply if the crime has been resolved (player has been arrested / caught for this crime). <Addition...
