Version 1.9.11- You can now purchase super-bullet-resistant tires (for a large fee). These tires have twice the health of standard bullet-resistant tires.
- Fixed a bug which could make bullet-resistant tires completely non-functional (popped from one bullet).
- The health of individual tires is now saved when a personal vehicle is stored, rather than just the popped/unpopped state.
- If a personal vehicle is destroyed, it will not have bullet-resistant tires upon recovery and they will have to be purchased again.
- If a vehicle's tires are popped and then repaired at Pay 'n' Spray, a gas station or by a Mechanic, they will have full bullet-resistant health restored.
- If a vehicle's tires are popped and then repaired by a non-Mechanic player, they will only be restored to standard (5 shots to pop) health.
- It will take longer to repair bullet-resistant tires with a tire repair kit.
- Normal, standard bullet-resistant and super bullet-resistant tires will take a non-Mechanic player 5, 8, and 12 seconds to repair respectively.
- For Mechanics this is reduced to 3, 5, and 8 seconds.
- Bullet-resistant tires will now protect against spike strips.
- Spike strips will take 10 health value from a random tire.
- Spike strips have the chance to pop 1, 2, 3 or even all 4 tires.
- 50% chance of 1 tire (85% for bikes).
- 25% chance of 2 tires (10% for bikes).
- 10% chance of 3 tires (not relevant for bikes).
- 5% chance of all 4 tires (not relevant for bikes).
- This will immediately pop standard tires, but not bullet-resistant ones.
- It will take 2 or 3 spike strips (for standard or super bullet-resistant tires respectively) to pop a tire.
- Different weapons do different amounts of tire damage:
- Pistols: 1hp.
- Shotguns: 2hp.
- SMGs: 2hp.
- Assault rifles: 3hp.
- Sniper: 5hp.
- This is subject to change, depending on community feedback.
- The Securicar now spawns with even more tire health (doubled to 100).
- Police vehicles no longer have their own starting tire healths.
- Normal police vehicles will spawn with standard bullet-resistant tires.

- It's now possible to cancel tire repair during the repair process.
- You are now shown how many tire repair kits you have left upon repairing a tire if there are more tires on the vehicle to be repaired.
- Slight improvements to the tire shooting detction accuracy.
- Improved the way tires' health is stored and manipulated, making it more efficient and easier to work with.
- Reminder: You can check your tire's health with /tirehealth at any time.
- NOTE: All stored personal vehicles will keep standard bullet-resistant tyres if they already had them. Each tire's health will be fully restored to 15hp.
Main additions- You can now purchase Vehicle Armour. It will double any vehicle's health to 200%.
- This can only be purchased at a gas station.
- This is a one-time purchase. Once this armour is depleted it must be purchased again.
- It will not return upon vehicle repair or replacement after destruction.
- It will also halve any damage done to the player while the vehicle health is above 100%.
- You can buy it again when your vehicle health is below 200% but you will pay the full price.
- You can now give a service player a tip after providing the service, prompted by a dialog.
- This automatic dialog can be disabled in /settings -> Game settings -> Gameplay.
- You can tip the last service player at any time after the service has ended with /tip.
- Side-note: The old /tip command has changed to /tips. It shows you a random tip.

- This is limited to once every 10 minutes.

- Automatic detection of chat/command 'flooding' is no longer as sensitive/strict.
- Many behind-the-scenes changes and improvements to code effiency to improve server performance.
- Various improvements to the admin side of the banning system to make managing bans much easier. All existing bans have been cleared.
- A new system for logging every player action in a way that is easily navigable for staff when investigating complaints.

- Chance of hotwiring failing will now depend on rank.
- The percentage is 100 minus your rank, e.g. rank 50 will have 50% change and rank 80 will have 20% chance.
- Hotwiring will never fail for players that reach level 100.
- It will only fail once, never twice or more in a row (no change here).
- Other players' personal vehicles are excluded - they will always fail hotwiring the first time.
- Spike strips will now only affect vehicles containing suspects.
- Cops can place spike strips down without worrying about damaging the tires of teammates or innocents!
- Added a message (chat + on-screen) when your tires are popped by a spike strip.
- Discord #server-echo will now queue messages sent in-game and send them once every 5 seconds, to avoid hitting Discord rate limiting and causing delayed echo.
- This means in-game chat can be delayed to #server-echo for up to 5 seconds and messages may be seen in a different order on Discord compared to in-game.
- If it's busy in chat in-game, messages will be sent when the queue (5) is full rather than waiting.
Other changes- Time displays with two units instead of one now. For example some things will say '1 day 23 hours' instead of just '1 day'.
- In Discord #server-echo, players 'joining' echo is now shown at login only, rather than both.
- You can now evade cops in a plane at a slightly higher altitude (50m from the ground, was 35m).

- Hit-and-run crime against cops will now make a player orange not yellow.
Main fixes- Fixed only $cop working in commands for using commands on cops.
For example '/loc $medic' would not work to locate the closest medic.
- Fixed a bug where a player could offer their services to players in the same interior type but different worlds.
- For example a medic could be inside Ammunation in LV, and another player in an Ammunation in SF, and they could offer services (as interior spaces are shared).
- Fixed a bug where player death due to vehicle hit-and-run was not being attributed to the driver.
Other fixes- Fixed engine repair animation making the player teleport sideways slightly with each cycle.
- Fixed a bug that would cause suspects that were asked to pull over not to turn orange after a minute as they should.
