Version 1.8.2This update is mainly fixes and improvements, but also has a new feature which people have requested for a
long time!
[BETA] You can now claim (some of) your weapons back after jail! Simply go to the weapon locker and steal them back (you'll get a 1-star wanted level).
This is subject to change in the future to ensure it's fair and balanced. Relying on community feedback.
- Time trial now gives cash and score. You'll also get bonus cash and score depending on your rank in the leaderboard.
- Pizzaboy can be used as a food service vehicle (players can buy food from them).
- Altered algorithm for weighted robbery payouts based on cop:civ ratio to avoid really low and really high payouts. Payout can now fluxtuate between 75% and 125% of the intneded payout depending on cop:civ ratio. 0 cops means 75% of payout, and 99% cops means 125% payout. An even number of cops to civs means 100% of payout. Bank robbery payouts may be lower or higher than normal.
- Increased payouts for store robbery, especially Ammunation which could give as low as $125!
- Reduced payout of phone missions (this change actually took effect on 17th May, just announcing it here).
- Increased Mechanic vehicle tow reward from $325 to $575.
- Vehicles can no longer be daisy-chained with a towtruck.
- The cash/score bonus for completing daily objectives for consecutive days is now capped at 30 days.
Main fixes- Fix not being able to buy bullet-resistant tires. When the health of any tire drops to 0 it will no longer be considered having bullet-resistant tires.
- Fixed an issue where if a player quit while driving a vehicle, the server would not set the vehicle's driver to 'nobody', but keep it as that player's ID. This meant the server thinks that ID is still driving, and can cause problems.
- Fixed players being unable to throw Molotovs and other throwable weapons.
- Fixed an issue where pickups could get their IDs mixed up. Might have been the source of the issue where you can't collect supply drops, treasure hunts etc.
- Fixed helicopter blades not doing damage.
- Fixed the 'You are banned' dialog having corrupt text.
Other fixes- Removed Army from player color list (/pc).
- Fixed players being able to shoot forwards on bikes if their skin was changed after getting on the bike (e.g. Pizzaboy mission starts).
- Fixed a bug where some player blips could have unlimited viewing distance.
- Fixed Sweeper mission score not showing a reason next to the radar, just the '+10'.
- Fixed Forklift mission showing wrong 'distance' in mission panel.
- Fixed shooting without aiming near bank vault guard not triggering the NPC to shoot back.
- Improved the methods for storing certain common values in memory (namely players' health and armour) to improve efficiency and reduce server lag.
For the nerds out there, that means using regular variables and not PVars for health, armour and other frequently read/written data.
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!
