Introduction
The 22nd of April marks the second anniversary of MCNR which launched on the 22nd of April 2019. In the last two years we've seen a lot of additions, changes, and improvements in the script. This update is the first in a few months as life has been very busy and finding time to dedicate to MCNR has been difficult, however it's finally here! Please have a read through the changelog below, and any feedback is very welcome!





Personal boats and aircraft
Personal boats and aircraft can now be purchased! This has been a feature that has been requested multiple times over the last 2 years and I'm happy to finally have it added.



You can buy these vehicles at the following locations in the active city only:
- Los Santos: LS airport for aircraft, Ocean Docks for boats.
- San Fierro: SF airport for aircraft, Easter Basin for boats.
- Las Venturas: LV airport for aircraft, south dock for boats.

When requested, they will spawn in at the nearest available boat/aircraft spawning location after a few seconds, unless that clashes with an existing vehicle already there.



Personal vehicle management
The personal vehicle system has had a bit of a facelift in various ways.
- The two Interaction Menu items 'Request personal vehicle' and 'Restore personal vehicle' have now merged into one, with many more options:
- Request personal vehicle
- Manage personal vehicles (sell, move between garages, modify, repair and more)
- Return your active personal vehicle to storage
- Summon active vehicle to your location
- Eject all occupants in your active vehicle
- Lock/unlock your active personal vehicle
- Locate (GPS) your active personal vehicle
- You can now mark one of your personal vehicles as 'favourite'. It will spawn nearby when you join the server (can be disabled in settings).
- If you quit the server with a personal vehicle active, it will spawn nearby upon your return (can be set to favourite only in settings).
- Added /vehicle /veh /v to quickly access the personal vehicle menu.
- Added /rpv to quickly request a personal vehicle.
  - If you have an active personal vehicle, it will summon it.
  - If not, and you have marked one of your vehicles as 'favourite', it will request that one.
  - If you have no active vehicle and no favourite is set, it will show the list.
- Vehicle health status (engine/tires/fuel) now shown in personal vehicle request list.
- You can see a detailed breakdown of your vehicles' damage/fuel etc. status via the 'Manage personal vehicles' menu option.
- You can now repair, refuel, transfer, sell and more your personal vehicles while they are still in storage with the 'Manage personal vehicles' menu option.
- You can now give your keys to a player and they will be able to drive all your personal vehicles without hotwiring or a wanted level.
  - This is currently temporary and does not save if either player quits. Key status saving may be added in the future if enough people want it.
  - To give a player the keys to your personal vehicle, use /givekeys (/gk) or press Y to interact with a player while looking at them.
  - Use /takekeys to take keys back (don't need to be close).
  - Use /keys to list keys you have shared with others and keys others have shared with you.
- You can now request a personal vehicle while inside your active one (you will be ejected and it will be destroyed) or while a personal vehicle is in the process of being delivered (it will be cancelled).
- Once you have a boat/aircraft, you can customise its color, refuel it, repair it and even sell it at the same place you purchased it.
- When a personal vehicle is requested, it now checks if there is already a vehicle in the spot where it is trying to spawn the vehicle.
  If there's a vehicle there it will check the opposite side of the road or use the middle.
- You can now return your personal vehicle to storage even if you are inside it. It will simply eject you.
- When attempting to recover a destroyed personal vehicle, if it cannot be restored yet, pressing 'Back' on the dialog will now take you back to your personal vehicle list.

- GPS destination icon now reflects destination type instead of standard 'waypoint' icon, e.g. if you set GPS to burger shot you'll see a burger shot icon at the destination.
  For example if you set a waypoint to a police station it will show the police station icon at the edge of the radar as your destination.

- Helicopters, including the Seasparrow, can no longer use the gas station options, notably to add vehicle armour.

Introduction
Version 1.12 has been in the works for a few weeks now, and is a major update to Mike's Cops and Robbers. It sees various new features, activities and even new map locations added into the game, as well as many fixes and improvements. It is one of the biggest updates in a while.

I would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome M3E6 back onto the development team, and thank him for his contributions to this update!
I would also like to thank ChrisAg for his recent contributions.






Main additions
- Added over 50 new payphones all over San Andreas. There should now always be one close by.
- The Pizzaboy mission now requires the player to return to the restaurant after delivering the 3 pizzas.
  - They can then choose to continue (deliver 3 more pizzas) or end the mission.
- Tire popping sound added when tires are popped. Audio plugin required.

- Added player stats for times received 'Player of the Week'.
- Vehicle dealership menu now shows models of the vehicles instead of just a list of vehicle names.
- An 'Other actions' submenu has been added to the bottom of the interaction menu.
  In the future more things will be added here, to keep the interaction menu clear from clutter.
  At the moment this menu only contains an option for donators to purchase a lotto ticket from anywhere.
- You can now legally pay to reclaim your confiscated weapons from the police reception, at half the Ammunation price.
- You can now convert a stolen personal vehicle into a legitimately/legally owned one via the vehicle management menu (/v).
  It will cost the same as buying the vehicle.

Other additions
- Added sound effect when a spike strip is dropped (audio plugin NOT required).
- Added /imode and /hud command to quickly turn immersion mode (hide all screen elements) without having to go through /settings.
- Immersion mode now hides 'mission panel' in bottom-right corner (although it may show again if you start a mission etc.).
- You can now mute boomboxes in /settings (audio category) or with /bboxmute.
- Added a /setting (gameplay category) to automatically exit properties by walking into the exit marker without having to press ENTER/F.
  - This setting will default to requiring a key press (except when holding a stolen item). This is because the space can be small and it's easy to accidentally exit the interior).
  - While robbing a house, you will exit as soon as you enter the marker regardless of the setting.
- Spawn selection map now shows player count next to each job.
- The personal vehicle management menu now shows your favourite vehicle at the top (before 'Land vehicles').
  Selecting it will go to the management page for your personal vehicle, allowing you to call it quickly or to unfavourite it.
- A reloading animation will now be played when picking up a weapon.
- Carjacking is now a separate crime.
- Mount Chiliad is now zoned separately on the map, so players' locations, robbery hideouts etc. will no longer say 'Whetstone' within this zone.
- Stealing money from an ATM is now a crime in itself, in addition to the 'criminal damage' crime.
- You can now search in /unlockables by appending a search term after the command, e.g. '/unlockables Infernus'.

- Added /coinflip which will flip a coin (announced to all players, limited to once a minute).
- Added /random which can be used to generate a random number between the values specified.

- All jobs' payday amounts have been increased, especially for cops.
- The prizes for the Decathlon have been increased (over double, including score too) and will be multiplied by the number of competitors.
- Bullet-resistant tires are now cheaper for motorbikes (makes sense, fewer wheels!)
- Ammunation weapon and ammo prices have all been altered (increased).

  - You can now toggle automatic neons at day/night with /autoneons (it's also in /settings under the 'Vehicle' category).

- ATMs can no longer be used when recently performed an animation or bailed from a vehicle.
- You can no longer rob players while bailing from a moving vehicle.

- You can no longer drop a weapon inside a wall etc.
- Cancelling dealership vehicle purchase (without test drive) now re-shows the vehicle list.
- Pressing the cuff button immediately after starting to cuff a suspect will no longer cancel it, as this was often done accidentally.
  There is a window of about 1 second, after which it will cancel as normal.
- Police 'get in the car' shouted order is now delayed so that if N is double-tapped (to auto-arrest) the order is not made unintentionally.
- If /uncuff is used by a cop while cuffing someone, the cuffing will now be cancelled, instead of it showing an error.
- Gas station dialog menus now correctly close if the player exits the vehicle.
- Players are now ejected from properties they are viewing if they don't purchase within 30 seconds.
- Disabled robbing and damaging players/vehicles in Decathlon.
- Disabled wanted level in Decathlon.
- If a player starts to exit their vehicle while receiving Mechanic services, the services are now cancelled.
  This was sort of in place already, but only cancelled the services when the player FINISHED exiting their vehicle, not started to.
  - When player clothes are temporarily removed while aiming with a sniper, only clothes attached to the HEAD are now hidden.
  - Players are now frozen for an extra couple of seconds on spawn to prevent falling through scripted objects.





Main fixes

  - Pizzaboy, Faggio, Forklift, Hotdog van

- Fixed players being offered to purchase properties if they enter them as a maid.
- Fixed regular players being able to issue a PSO to themselves.
- Fixed Country Rifle reload animation not always playing when shooting, and damage being nullified.
- Fixed Securicar cash pickups that are left on the ground after it blows up staying forever if it happened again before the first lot expired.
- Fixed players being unable to spawn (if using spawn selection) if they have a locked skin equipped (e.g. they got the cop SWAT skin then got demoted/PSO'd).
- If a player somehow exits a vehicle while a delay item is being added at a gas station (bullet-resistant tires, vehicle armor etc.),
  they are now refunded.
- Fixed an unfinished feature where if multiple players have invited you to their properties you cannot accept (/api).
  It now shows a dialog allowing you to select which property invite to accept.
- Fixed players being able to keep the flamethrower from the weed burning mission if the server crashed mid-mission.
- Fixed /findheal /findcure dialog cutting off after 3 players.
- Fixed player-to-player vehicle selling (/vsell) not taking cash from the buyer and giving it to the seller.

Other fixes
- Fixed players being unable to reclaim weapons from police department reception that wasn't the main city PD.
- Fixed non-legitimately-owned personal vehicles spawning 'locked' (for everyone other than the owner). They should spawn fully unlocked.
- Fixed tire pop sound when exploding helicopter rotors.
- Fixed vehicle 'secondary emergency/warning lights' not being turned off if a vehicle explodes.
- Fixed players being able to set bank PIN to a negative number (as long as it was 4 characters, e.g. -123).
- Fixed weed burning mission not navigable via /gps or /missions unless the city was SF (the mission is available during any active city).
- Fixed 'You are dying' message stuck on-screen after duel finishes and you were downed.

Vehicle igntion fixes
Some fixes has been made to the way automatic ignition settings work for vehicles:
  - If you exit a vehicle with automatic ignition enabled and don't hold F/ENTER, the engine will turn off (unless the 'Keep engine running' setting is on).
  - If you exit a vehicle with automatic ignition enabled while holding F/ENTER, the engine will stay running.
  - If you exit a vehicle with automatic ignition disabled and don't hold F/ENTER, the engine will stay running (regardless of the 'Keep engine running' setting).
  - If you exit a vehicle with automatic ignition disabled and hold F/ENTER, the engine will be turned off.
  - The engine will not turn off if you're being carjacked, regardless of settings.
  - Help messages are now shown in chat when either of these two settings are changed, to explain the behaviour.

This update has also been a massive cleanup of the code base to improve efficiency, make the script easier to maintain, and to make way for future development.
These changes are completely invisible to players, however a lot of work went into it.
We (myself and M3E6) have also been working on a new addition to the server which is taking a lot of effort, but I won't be sharing details of this yet. But something cool is coming soon!



Thanks for reading, we hope you enjoy this update! Huge thanks as always to the beta testers and admins which help keep MCNR running. Have fun everyone!
