We're back with yet another SA-MP update and this time we've got lots to unpack. Most notably, we've added 1500 new furniture objects and 3000 new textures to apply to your furniture objects so you can really create the interiors of your wildest dreams, thanks to @Caledonite! Also big thanks to @Kremz who, as part of the Mapping Team, has given us some custom models to add into the server and create roleplay around - the new and moved Vinewood gas station really fits the area. We have also heard your cries to the heavens about trucking and what we identified was that amongst the main issues (there are apparently still one or two bugs left to fix...) trucking industries just didn't empty quick enough and were immediately filled again by other people trucking. We've increased demand for the following trucking commodities: Clothes, Furniture, Beverages, Meal (Food), Appliances, Fuel, and Transformer so that you aren't left waiting around doing nothing while you wait for that number to tick down. We've also increased the money you make from the ship so you're not left hanging out to dry when every other industry has filled up. As has been available for literal years now, we offer official factions and companies the privilege of having their skins added to the game, and that's what we've done, adding new skins for the Filthy Bastards M.C. and 3 companies! We have also identified the persistent server crash that we've been experiencing and we've squashed that mega bug (it was huge, I tell you, huge!) so we should see server crashes slow way down again. I have spoken to the IFTC folks (we use gender-neutral language here for no reason in particular) and got their blessing to look for ways to spruce the map up where illegal factions typically don't have much to do, for example in Willowfield - especially Gilmore Avenue. @Draxxler has also pointed out some areas that could benefit from a rehash so I've been looking into projects for the Mapping Team to make the server feel more alive and give more unique opportunities to the factions that occupy these areas. Notably, the police station next to Gilmore Avenue will be removed in the coming days to allow Willowfield factions to grow without literally being stared at through the window of a police building. All this is, of course, amongst a myriad of other features, additions and bug fixes, as seen here: [SA-MP Game Update 13.3.10] - Adds 1500 new furniture objects - Adds 3000 new furniture textures - Adds a trailer park to Flint County gas station - Increased demand for the following trucking commodities: Clothes, Furniture, Beverages, Meal (Food), Appliances, Fuel, Transformer - Increase the change per hour on the trucking production storages - Increase the buying cost on the trucking ship storages - Adds FBMC skins - Adds company skins - Adds new Vinewood gas station mapping - Adds /relog block when damaged within 5 minutes - Adds a freeze timer on /exit in case of custom mapping - Adds a patch for a game bug allowing shooting from further away than the game allows - Adds the ability for legal factions to change callsign without restriction - Adds Caligulas apartments + complex - Changes an incorrect URL on a billboard in Pershing Sq - Changes /transfer to be allowed with savings active - Changes /frisk to show up to $5000 instead of $500 - Removes 2 police stations (Fern Ridge and Idlewood) and replaces with 2 (Vinewood and Commerce) - Removes /newspaper - Removes a tree and a car blocking factions' env maps - Removes DOJ building gate

Very big thanks to the hard working @danut to make this update happen, with (as I understand it) the help of @danielswe 🙂 This update focuses on modifying cars, bringing in new ways to upgrade your car's engines, brakes, and all-round sports performance!

This month we haven't got so much in terms of feature development as we've been quite busy with some more quality of life additions, bug fixes, and most importantly tackling this persistent server crash! We have actually identified the cause now and have already made significant progress in patching it thanks to the dedicated @Noble so we should soon see his hard work come to fruition. This month we held a small, limited time, localised environmental event that we think contributed more to the roleplay scene of the server than previous month's Wonderland event. If you didn't spot it, it was the highway that collapsed in Pershing Square - let us know your feedback and if you think more environmental events like this should go ahead, rather than the big server-wide events like Wonderland! We are constantly evolving the server and always looking for ways to introduce new roleplay to in-game communities and groups. If you have any suggestions that could better the roleplay environment - or any issues that are affecting your roleplay environment - please reach out to the relevant staff member or send it to me directly and I'll forward it on! We're committed to keeping LS-RP the best place to roleplay and create storylines for other characters to be a part of, and we can't do that without your help! We said goodbye (he's not dead, don't worry...) to our Head of Operations this month, @Dos Santos, who has been a part of LS-RP for what feels like (and honestly probably is) a decade. Dos Santos has been a huge help and truly suited the Management position that he was promoted into, which started out as Project Manager and evolved into the Head of Operations when Ben stepped down. Dos Santos has done a smashing job with the re-opening of SA-MP and has kept on top of RageMP teams as well, something that has never had to be done before in the history of LS-RP, so we acknowledge what a hard task it has been. In light of this, we're recognising jack's hard work in particular and he will be promoted to Senior Lead Administrator alongside being given the role of Assistant Head of Staff to basically help me out as I take on other more involved roles in the server as well, with Dos Santos' departure. jack will remain the Head of Admins in addition to this new role, so please continue to communicate with jack re: the admin team! We'd like to showcase some of the images posted in #media as well to highlight the kinds of roleplay that make our servers totally unique and enjoyable for any type of player: And without further ado, congratulations to our newly promoted staff members ...
