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.

@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.

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.

Just a quick follow up to the update from yesterday.

• The volume setting for TVs in the F1 menu now takes effect immediately, even while playing a video

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.

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...
