The Garnut Popular Post Nutter 15,155 Posted November 2, 2022 The Garnut Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2022 Hello DarkRP mains, my sincere apologies for the server crashes spanning across the last 3 days of our Halloween event For anybody who was not made aware of the situation, a VIP member of our community was abusing paywalled tools with exploits, across what appeared to be 5+ different alts. While the patch took 3 days, it was a bit tricky to figure out, but eventually, I had figured it out with the help of @Proggy and a few other community members To make up for the instabilities, I had decided to release a pretty lengthy update! Especially now that I am enjoying coding so much. HUD Over the past year I have improved with my lua skills quite a bit, I figured it'd be time to tackle our servers' UIs, and the most logical first step would be the HUD I have re-created our hud from the ground-up with no reference code, and made sure every missing detail is now accounted for, IE: wanted players, arrested, and lockdowns. Full Screen - Old HUD Full Screen - New HUD Ammo Count - Old HUD Ammo Count - New HUD Wanted - Old HUD Wanted - New HUD Arrested - Old HUD Arrested - New HUD Other Players - Old HUD Other Players - New HUD If Unprestiged If Prestiged In the event of server data breaking, this HUD will not spam you with errors, I've added "failsafes" Any data that can't be fetched will be displayed as "LOADING" until it can be collected Party System The beloved party system is making a return to the server, while it was not fully recoded, I have greatly optimized it and patched up dated code in order to make it a more robust system that should suffice. @Bizzy has hinted at already having re-created it, but as of right now, we have no release date. And also... For the stupid ones who refuse to disband their party properly F4 Menu For the sake of simplicity, moving forward your character's level and prestige will be displayed in the F4 menu, where you will be met with anything that is level/prestige-restricted I have added coloring to the otherwise plain black and white menu in order to help players in searching for a job The character display has also been significantly zoom in, to showcase the playermodels better. This leads me onto another issue which is.. alot of classes did not have a unique color, so that has also been adjusted, and the sorting of the F4 menu has been changed to be random but more coercive! Jail System I fixed a bug literally nobody reported to me..?? Players who "smuggle" a knife to jail can use it to lockpick PD doors regardless of their job (previously restricted to arrest thief roles) Map We are officially back on our regular Downtown map This halloween event has been an incredible success, and such a fun time Looking forward to what will come to the server on December for Christmas! Advanced Dupe Players can now put down dupes that included forbidden items I have modified Advanced Dupe to skip items that cannot be pasted, removing the necessity to go to single player and modify your dupe to be used on the server 11 1 Quote Link to comment
HtmlRoot 62 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Major W update. Glad you fixed the annoying bug where I can't lockpick myself out when I'm like DJ or something. Also nice HUD update. Even if some people don't see a difference, I looked closely and admire the differences. Quote Link to comment

DarkRP Administration Team ChrisRid 900 Posted November 2, 2022 DarkRP Administration Team Share Posted November 2, 2022 Awesome update! It’s great that you’ve managed to rebuild a lot of the systems to be super optimised, and make things look really good too in the process. Well done to you and Proggy for finding the exploiter and good news about the Super-Duper fix. Can’t wait to see how Bizzy does with the new Party System, that would be amazing to have everything re-done for sure! Can’t wait to get back on and check it all out Quote Link to comment
HtmlRoot 62 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Only issue is we can't see what weapons/tools jobs get. Quote Link to comment

1998Corolla 321 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 NOICE If I could make a suggestion, the lockdown flashing on the top bar is now suuuuper dark, and makes it hard to tell if there is one. 1 Quote Link to comment
