Television Overhaul: Bigger, Better, More Control!
A highly requested update to the in-game television system has been implemented, adding new functionality for improved video playback:
- YouTube Playlists: Players can now load entire YouTube playlists at once, up to a maximum of 25 videos per playlist (this limit may change in the future).
- Queue System: Videos can be queued for seamless, continuous playback.
- Shuffle & Repeat: Playlists can be shuffled, and individual videos can be set to repeat.
- Skip Functionality: Players can manually skip videos in the queue.
New Fire Department Truck
Below is a new brush/rescue truck for the FD, a very long awaited update that I have been eager to release, finally starting to refresh the Fire Department vehicles as they have had little to no changes over the years.
I hope to release more content for the FD in the future!
The Vehicle Overhaul
Myself and @Collier have been working on fixing a vast range of issues with vehicles, ranging from model issues, handling issues and various minor and major issues that has been brought to our attention.
Below is some of the many vehicles updated within this update.
We are still looking for broken vehicles as mentioned by @rogue in the recent itinerary, so please feel free to message myself to report any vehicle issues you have found.
This is a painstaking process with nearly every vehicle having some minor issue, so please bear with me as I work through what is achievable and what might not be.

- Vandoor Delivery van - Rear door now visible both ways and inside no longer shows vehicles skin.

New animation
@Lelios1 has done an amazing job and made us a new animation that will definitely not be overused....
New Prop Models
@Draxen has taken some time to replace old and poor quality models, below is a list of the models included in this update.
- Metal Polish
- Brass Bulk

- Chunk of Plastic

Rule 3.3 - Realistic Actions
To improve consistency in enforcing Rule 3.3 - Realistic Actions, we are introducing automated mechanics to regulate unrealistic movement. This rule has previously led to varying interpretations and sanctions, so these changes aim to create a more objective enforcement method.
For now, the following adjustments have been made:
- Reload Movement Penalty: Players move 50% slower while reloading a weapon.
- Sprint + Jump Adjustment: If a player sprints and jumps while holding a weapon in attack stance, the weapon will automatically switch to passive stance.
Other Changes
- Added Small Concrete Barrier base defence
- Added new "Silver" UI skin
- Fixed description for the Bailout policy
A new mechanism has been implemented to automatically detect and correct data corruption within the database.- Commas have been added to organization scores to improve readability.
- The buddies menu (F4) can no longer be opened when dead and/or restrained
- Heavy TFU now have a body camera, following suit with the rest of the PD.
- Animations are now properly played on the server, meaning player's hitboxes follow the movement
- The reflex sight can now be used on the SG550
- Lowered price for pistol and rifle flashlights
- Items no longer get destroyed by fire
- Fixed having to gear into Heavy TFU to equip Light Gear.
- Fixed TFU Training counting as TFU on duty.
A special thanks to everyone involved in these updates: @Maia @Fredy @Bolli @rogue @peeps @GP @Draxen @Carrot @Sindarin @Lelios1
