​
Today's update is aimed at improving the server's performance, specifically the issue of massive lag spikes that would happen roughly every minute if the server is near capacity. We have identified the issue to be related to the server using too much memory and Lua's garbage collector not working as well as one would expect. Due to this we had to take drastic measures to reduce the memory footprint of the server.

If you noticed that you have far fewer drugs in your storage than previously, do not worry. This is an intended part of this update.

As might come to some people's surprise, the main culprit of the high memory usage are actually items. On our server, each item is modelled as its own individual object. So, if someone has 10,000 drugs in their storage, then that is 10,000 objects in memory. Unfortunately, it turns out we have a lot of item hoarders among us, which is why this has become such a big issue...

Image Entities​

Today's major update is the addition of image entities. These entities allow you to display images from imgur on them, as long as they have been approved by the staff team.
This is similar to how TVs were used previously, but unlike TVs there is no limit to how many of these signs can be displayed at the same time. (Although there currently is a limit of 4 image entities per player, extended props 8).

@Lelios1 was very busy and added a wide variety of different image entities, such as simple signs, illuminated signs, image frames and flags (which can also be used as posters). Illuminated signs work similar to TVs in that they can be self-lit by pressing E on them, while the other image entities are lit purely by the environment.

Community Consultation on PD Chief.

Hello,

We have asked community opinion in the past on the balance of “power” within the community. Previously there were concerns of individuals holding too much power by being high ranks in the PD and staff team simultaneously. With a new recruitment cycle opening up for CoD we wanted to consult again what the prevailing community consensus was.

Please vote here to have your opinion heard and comment below any opinions or other options you want considered.

Thank you,

Community Management.
