Version 1.8Update 1.8 has been in development for a few weeks now, and we finally have a development
team rather than just one person, so development is ramping up now. Thank you so much to
@M3E6 for joining the development effort, I hope for many good things to come from this partnership, for the betterment of the server and the community.
This update contains more new things than usual, so I've compiled a short video to showcase some of the new things, which you can watch here:

Main fixes- A number of fixes for reoccurring server lag issues. Improved efficiency in various parts of the script.
- Improvements to lag around Blueberry area.
- Fixed an issue where objects used to block off map exploits were being created every time a player joined (they should only be created when the server starts). This may have led to lag (client and server).
- Reduced streaming distance of bank interior objects to prevent players timing out upon entering the bank.
- Fixed long-time bug where players could become stuck looking at a black screen. This bug has plagued the server since day 1 so it's nice to see it fixed at last!
- Fixed players being able to quit the game between the arrest animation and actually being teleported to jail resulting in them returning as an innocent civilian rather than being put in jail.
- Fixed bug where when a player quits, any other player on the server sharing the same IP address would time-out.
- Fixed players no longer being in a 'cuffed' state after being tazed while cuffed, allowing them to run around, jump, and even enter vehicles.
- Daily objective to 'Exit a burning vehicle before it explodes' no longer counts if you die in said vehicle. You must actually exit it, like it says.

- Sweeper red blip icons and treasure hunt ? icon should now take priority over other icons.
- Fixed textdraws persisting after exporting a vehicle if another vehicle was exported before the old textdraws were hidden.
- Replaced MapAndreas plugin with ColAndreas. Will fix spike strips, personal vehicles etc. appearing under the map, and also spawning players under the map when exiting interiors.
- Fixed cop rules dialog disappearing after 10 seconds to be replaced by an incompletion version of itself.
- Fixed player and camera becoming stuck if exiting a vehicle just after entering the carwash before it starts.
- Fixed boomboxes not working inside properties.
- Fixed an issue with supply drop failing to appear/land. There's still a second issue involved with this we are yet to identify.
Please type /supplyid if your supply drop fails to appear/land and report it on the forums with video/screenshots/chatlog where possible.
- The cuffing process is now cancelled if a bribe is exchanged.
Other fixes- Fixed 'Player A has ejected Player B from the vehicle' being shown to all players. It should have only been shown to other players in the vehicle.
- Added checks for the bank vault guard NPC being missing, it will no longer allow the bank robbery to start.
- Added missing command /packages as an alias for /collectables.
- Fixed text cut-off in /jobs.
- Fixed an ATM stuck in the wall in Los Santos next to Grove Street.

- Fixed 'Cancel' button on 'Do you want to recover this personal vehicle' dialog returning to an empty dialog if the vehicle in question is not stored in a garage/property.
- Gas station stores are now listed in the GPS under stores.
- Locating missions via GPS or via /missions list will no longer fail to start missions that cannot be started by the player. If you select to find a prisoner transport mission and you aren't a cop, it said it was unable to find any.
Other changes:- Robbed ATMs will give more cash.
- Bank robbery payout has also been reduced, but it's difficult to say how much as it depends on the cop:civ ratio. Roughly 15% less.
- Wealth tax will now only be applied to players with over $10m. It was previously $1m. The same rate (0.5%) will apply.
- Cops and other jobs have received a payday pay increase.
