Welcome to the changelog for the SAES 1.6 Update. This is the first of a 2-part major update series for this year.

I would like to start by giving a special thanks to some of the individuals who have contributed to this update;

@Sollozzo for his hard work on designing the new visuals for the pager (M) that you will see in game and read about below.
@DyamDouglas for creating a new login screen that's much more sleek and easier on the eyes!
@SAES-Creative and specifically @Steven and @Tut for their help creating models, the logo for this update, the new login background and screenshots.
@Daryl for providing assistance with the changelogs, this post and the theory and wording used for the advertising panel and other in-game updates.
@Nanobob for recent fixes and additions to the web portal, including the 'Web Portal Update' section of these patch notes.
@Zwolle for the mapping of the casino where the Casino Rob event takes place

• Pager:
  • Our pager (M) has been resdesigned to give it a new sleek look!
  • Added a chat manager, you can now enable and disable all chats you are part of. This allows you to select only the important channels, also a great system for screenshots, youtube recording and streaming.

• Parties have been overhauled! We've added a few new highly requested commands;
  /setpartycode <code> - This will allow anyone to join a party if they know the code, meaning players will not need to be invited.
  /joinparty <partyID> <code> - The syntax for joining using a code.
  /removepartycode - Disable the code to join your party.
  You are now able to add waypoints to the map visible to your party members! This can be done from the map with a short cooldown between placing waypoints.

• Advertisements:
  - All advertising and advertisments are now managed through the pager (M).
  - You can now create more detailed, longer lasting ad, with the following limitations;
  Title : 10 char min / 60 char max
  Body : 15 char min / 1400 char max
  Cost: $25000
  - The title for all ads will be displayed on the top bar, it will rotate through ads once every 40 seconds.
  - Default time for ads is 30 mins and donators get 20% extra time for a total of 36 minutes.
  - Players can only have 2 active ads at a time.
  - Players can only place 1 new advertisement every minute.
  - Whenever a new ad gets placed, previous one fall one spot down the list.

• Web Portal Update:
  • Players can now view personalised stats in the webportal found at web.saesrpg.uk to display their individual time spent as each class. A handy tool to track your playtimes in your groups!

• Models:
  • A backend update where the 'models' resource has been rewritten to reduce the lag players experienced on connecting to the server, or after the resource was restarted.

• Reports:
  • Updated reports log view for admins, logs should now be easier to read and more expandable.

• Login panel:
  • The Login Panel has been completely overhauled and now looks much more modern and sleek. This will not have an impact on performance.
  • Forgot your username? We've added the option to recover your username by entering the email associated with it! You will receive an email with your username.

• F1:
  • You can now update the email address associated with your account! This can be found on the F1 panel just below 'Change Password'!

• Bone County Dam:

  • ZIP Construction have also completed the creation of a tunnel through the unused Bone County dam to allow for the passage of vessels. Use the tunnel with caution!

Welcome to the changelog of the second part of this year's major 1.6 update.
This update brings with it some very exciting changes and new additions to the server!

Before going through these changes, we would like to give a big thanks to @Scorpyo , @Steven and @Tut for their huge efforts in order to design, develop and test this huge release!
Also to @JojoDb for writing the changelog topic, and @Velo for mapping the GR interior!

@Expert woops

Hello, i wanted to suggest the ability for people who broke out of jail to get their previous skin back ( before getting arrested ) from a shelf located in visitors room, you just have to walk to it and touch it. Please vote and share your opinions

Hi Guys,

I will be hosting a series of in-game events in which £250GBP worth of donation rewards are up for grabs!

Top prize will be 1 x £50 donation reward, 1 x £40 and 8 x £20 equivalent reward for other events.

All you need to do is be in the server at 19:00 GMT (UK / server time) on Saturday 9th Jan.

Those who grief or don't follow rules will be punished with bans until the event night is over.
(These bans will also be counted towards your gang punishments at month-end results)

This event was generously sponsored by @Getskillz (£150) and @AkyZ (£100) who gave up their donation rewards for this event, so make sure you give them both a thumbs up and take them for a drink in-game.

Good luck to you all.

Hello,

I will be hosting another event this Thursday (21st Jan) at 19:00 GMT / Server time.

This event has been sponsored by @Getskillz again to celebrate his gangs (@Generation-X ) first year anniversary being on the server and consists of £350 worth of equivalent donation rewards.

The events that will take place (may be subject to change).

• Arrest first 10 X members for £10 each at jeff, defended by X members only (£100 total)
• Kill Getskillz on top mc defended by X members only, 100k hp for £50

As before, those who grief or interfere with events will result in a 7 day ban and also included as part of your gang/group results, if applicable.

Good luck.

Hi again,

First of all, I want to thank everyone for participating, it has been such an amazing experience. And of course, this would not have happened without our sponsors @Getskillz and @AkyZ , make sure to show them some gratitude .

Event results came as the following:

Special thanks to @Versace @Westbrook @KARIM @Filippo @Colobria for their assistance as LWS. Also to SAES/Staff members who helped me a lot during these two days.

This is now live

saha @Arma

Added a button to respawn all donation vehicles through /dvm

Instead of that useless "Repair all vehicles" button on the housing panel, a "Refuel vehicle" button as a relpacement will be a great addition.
If you're going to say its not realistic, you can fix your vehicle without going to the pay n spray shop so why not refuel vehicle without going to the fuel station?

This is now live

• BR Changes:
  • Criminals can start BR with 5 cops on the server if server player count is below 40
  • Criminals can start BR with 10 cops on the server if server player count is above 40
  • Criminals reward is now based off the amount of spawned cops on BR start
  • Cops now get rewarded on bank reset, 35k per uncracked safe ( cops who assisted in the bankrob but are outside the bank or dead at the time of the reset also get rewarded, but less than the ones inside the bank )
    Cop count upon attempting to start a BR is calculated using the following:
    • Spawned special group members ( DE / HLS )
    • Spawned procop members
    • Official squad members ( regardless of their spawns )
      Note: Trainees do not count

Example scenario:
With below 40 players online, criminals can start a bankrob with only 5 squad members on the server which are all spawned as criminals ( there are 0 spawned cops ) but get paid a very low payment

Hi again,

Would like to thank everyone involved yesterday.

Event results came as the following:

Special thanks to @Versace and @Colobria for their assistance as LWS. Also to SAES/Staff members.

Thanks again to @Getskillz for giving up his donation rewards for these events.

Keep an eye out on the forum announcement/news section and Discord for more events.

How about making it only show up when you hold your RMB? Would be much better imo

@velo said in [FEATURE] Headshot at kill logs:

The code is ready in case this suggestion is accepted

Good job bro, can we have this added please @Brophy @Scorpyo

We did not use Velona's version because we updated our killmessages resource to the latest rewritten version, while Velona used the old version.

This is now implemented, keep in mind it only works with one shot headshots. (For DE/CLO and in turf zones)

This is now done
