Hello, Tonight we're releasing SA-MP Game Update 13.3.12. We've added a bunch of items (a lot of them from the new Trap House furniture pack, too) that you can hold on to for dear roleplay. Try it ingame via /hold. We've also /transferdrug, so you can now mix drugs of different strengths with proper results. This also enables /cutdrug again. The full changelog is: - Added /hold (/hold L, /hold R, /hold L/R index, etc) - Added construction where GFU used to be (just south of Idlewood PNS). - Added minor stadium outside mapping for events - Fixed invisible object colliding near Mulholland intersection - Fixed spawning with armor when shouldn't in some cases - Internal fixes & optimizations Another worthwhile point to mention is we've also migrated our codebase to open.mp. And when I say we, mostly Noble. We've a test server running open.mp up now and we'll be testing its stability and new features that open.mp provide to server owners and players alike. We're expecting to do a trial run with switching to open.mp in production in the coming weeks. I'll explain why this is exciting in due time, but switching to a client/server with active development is exciting by itself! Happy gaming! - Martin3 points

Port of East Beach __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Port of East Beach, also known as the Harbor Department of the City of Los Santos, is the second-busiest container port in the United States, after the Port of Los Santos, which it adjoins. Acting as a major gateway for US-Asian trade, the port occupies 3,200 acres (13 km²) of land with 25 miles (40 km) of waterfront in the city of East Beach, San Andreas. The Port of East Beach and approximately 25 miles (40 km) south of downtown Los Santos. The eaport generates approximately US$100 billion in trade and employs more than 316,00 people in Southern San Andreas. Early History (1911-1960) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The San Pedro Breakwater was started in 1899 and over time was expanded to protect the current site of the Port of East Beach. The Port of East Beach was founded on 800 acres (3.2 km2) of mudflats on June 24, 1911, at the mouth of the Los Santos River. The old Municipal Pier was rebuilt into the Municipal Wharf in 1925. In 1925 construction started on Pier A and Pier B, with opening of Pier A in 1930. By 1926 more than one million tons of cargo were handled, and additional piers were constructed to accommodate the growing business. In 1921, oil was discovered at the East Beach Oil Field on and around Signal Hill. In 1932, the fourth-largest oil field in the United States, Wilmington Oil Field, was discovered; much of this field was underneath East Beach and the harbor area itself. The hundreds of oil wells from Wilmington Oil Field provided oil revenues to the City of Los Santos. The first offshore oil well in the harbor was brought online in 1937, shortly after the discovery that the oil field far extended into the harbor. In the mid-1930s, the port was expanded, largely due to the need to transport oil to foreign markets, as the immense output of oil from the Los Santos Basin caused a glut in US markets. The extraction of hundreds of millions of barrels of oil caused concern for subsidence, as the overlying land collapsed into the empty space over time. Engineers and geologists were promptly assigned to the problem, building dikes for flood control at high tide. East Beach became a home port for the United States Navy's Pacific Fleet in 1932. In 1940 the navy purchased 105 acres on Terminal Island built the East Beach Naval Shipyard there. In 1946, after World War II, the Port of East Beach was established as "America's most modern port" with the completion of the first of nine clear-span transit sheds. Pier E was completed and Pier B was expanded to two times its size in 1949. Pierpoint Landing completed on Pier F in 1948, becoming a large sport fishing spot. Concerns regarding subsidence increased until Operation "Big Squirt," a water injection program, halted any progression of sinking land in 1960. Recent History (2012-present) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Between 2012 and 2014, as part of a decision made by the then Mayor of Los Santos, Rakesh Namir, the Port Authority operated as a branch of the Bureau of Public Utilities. This decision was eventually reversed by Mayor Frank Vaughn in 2015, autonomizing Port Authority operations as a seperate contract. In 2016, the San Andreas Longshore and Warehouse Union went on strike, closing down the ports of East Beach and Los Santos. The labor clash which lasted several days and caused ships to be backed up into the pacific ocean marked it the worst cargo traffic disruption at the East Beach and Los Santos harbors. The union, at the time, was objecting to Republican Governor Jesse Style's decision to nullify the terms of their contact, specifically prohibiting port security from conducting security-related duties in the dockyards. Mayor Frank Vaughn gave a speech, as did Representatives Jep Appelo and Katherine Summers in solidarity with the workers impacted by the injunction: primarily members of the SALWU Local 2. In 2019 and the following years, through numerous organizing rallies and an increase in collaboration among business, labor and government agencies, the International Brotherhood of Longshoreman (IBL) Local 1218 became the primary dock workers union on the Port of East Beach, representing most employees at the terminals. In 2020, a bill titled the Safe Shores Act of 2020 was introduced by Senate President Pro Tempore Eugene Park (D-3), establishing the San Andreas Harbor Department, the Office of the Harbor Department Chair, and the San Andreas Harbor Commission. The Board of Harbor Commissioners would oversee the operations, budgets, inspections and the development of regulatory codes and policies concerning the terminals, facilities and premises at the Port of San Fierro, the Port of East Beach and the Port of Los Santos. The Port of East Beach was the scene of Senator Eugene Park's assassination, following the announcement of Senator Charles Moreno's (D-5) run for the position of Lieutenant Governor. Economy __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The port's combined import and export value is nearly $100 billion per year. The seaport provides jobs, generates tax revenue, and supports retail and manufacturing businesses. More than $800 million a year is spent on wholesale distribution services in the city. In the City of Los Santos, port operations generate more than 230,000 jobs, with more than $10 billion a year going to distribution services in the city. On the state level, the Port of East Beach provides about 370,000 jobs and generates close to $5.6 billion a year in state and local tax revenues. Environment __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The twin ports of Los Santos and East Beach are, together, the single largest source of air pollution in the metropolitan Los Santos area. Both ports have implemented a number of environmental programs to reduce pollution levels while continuing port growth. Governance __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Harbor Department The Harbor Commissioners set policies for the Port of Los Santos and the Port of East Beach. Commissioners are appointed by the Secretary of State or Lieutenant Governor and are confirmed by the State Senate. They may serve terms in increments of three month, without a term limit.

Jacob “Jake” Marino, an American of Italian descent, grew up in Palomino Creek, a small town near the flashy Vinewood, Los Santos. He always dreamed of becoming a famous actor, but his career started with low-budget ads that didn’t bring him much fame. Despite his efforts, Jake struggled to get noticed in the competitive world of Vinewood. He kept his passion for acting alive, but he needed to find a way to make ends meet. In search of money, Jake got involved with the local American mafia. Through some young Italian criminals, he landed a job as a counter at a gym owned by a guy, closely connected to the mafia. This job gave him a steady income but also dragged him deeper into the criminal world of Los Santos. Even though he was on a risky path, Jake never gave up on his dream of becoming a star. Every day at the gym, he imagined a future where he would finally make it big in the movies.1 point

This is a separate problem, with wallhacks we're currently limited in how to detect them. We've been able to detect them to some extent and have banned people for them already, but we've a solution in the works that will get rid of a large % of them. There's also wallhacks for weapon objects, so you're quick to be ambushed if you spawn a stash car that has finalized weapons in it. We've been able to mitigate this to some extent, but you can't really make a fully reliable solution for it; so I'm considering just disabling visible weapons in vehicles altogether. Yes it's a shame to turn off the feature, but it'll put a massive dent in ambushing stash cars. Any solution which primarily relies on more time spent by admins watching players for a long period of time, vetting them etc, isn't sustainable in the long term. If we can impose the limits via script or automation, and leave admin intervention as a last resort, it'll be much more consistent and reliable for players and staff both. This also crossed my mind. Only allowing robberies in certain parts of the city. That's of course in combination with other measures, like my /rob proposal. We could still grant exceptions to this by staff if they've time to vet a crew that roleplays well and allow them to do robberies outside of the pre-approved areas. That way we can directly rate limit the robbery rates in areas where they realistically wouldn't be common. We're reinstating 11 administrators tomorrow and have recently promoted a batch from Tester to Admin. Some of these folks are from US/AU timezones too to cover the graveyard shift. This should improve the response time a bit. When an admin handles a situation, we're trying to go for education over punishment. If someone commits their first offense, we don't go straight to a ban or a lengthy admin jail (unless it's a very severe breach of rules). Since the server's "fresh" right now, people don't have punishments stacked and usually kick is the first line of punishment before they're dealt with harshly. That all being said, it's still only been two weeks since SA-MP has returned for everyone (shit has it been two weeks already) and I do believe things will cool off naturally to some extent, but this is a pressing issue right now so let's look for as many solutions to consider as possible. We can cover some aspects of this in tomorrow's community meeting and open the question up to the community as well.1 point

I think the script is great and the GTA 5 platform has a lot of potential for a heavy RP community, but right now as a long time LSRP player (since 2009) I'm struggling to work up motivation to play on this server. Obviously I'm getting old, maybe too old to run around RPing gangbangers and that sort of thing, but I still have a lot of RP left in me. I have real life commitments, if I'm lucky I have a few hours at night to play games. I'm not gonna spend it grinding for hours and hours only to earn a mere fraction of the cost of a gun or vehicle. At the end of the day it's a GTA server, and people want their cars and guns. I could look past those things if the RP was bumping, but it's really not, at least not in my timezone. I've spent the majority of my time on here RPing as a crack head to try and stimulate the drug trade and get some funny interactions going, but its been very boring otherwise.1 point
