Version 1.12Version 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.
DWAYNE ISLAND (ALCATRAZ ISLAND)A new part of the map has been added: Dwayne Island.
This is the first time a major map addition has been made in MCNR. The reason for this is that I am weary of changing the game from the original too much. However, in this instance, the map is of such a high quality it actually looks like it could have legitimately been part of the game, made by Rockstar themselves.
Based on the real-life 'Alcatraz Island' (also known as 'The Rock' - hence the in-game name, a reference to Dwayne Johnson), the island sits in the San Fierro bay
between Bayside and San Fierro. It can only be reached by aircraft or boat, or by swimming. Cops can spawn there, too.
The island features payphones, ATMs, vending machines, a chilli dog stand, a bait shop, 2 helipads, boat docks, and more. It is also a moneybag event spot and part of the Helitours mission!
It is currently not used as a prison or police department, but will likely be in the future. For now, pay a visit and check it out!
Cops may spawn there, for everyone else, you'll have to find your own way there! You may freely explore the outer 'ring' of the island, but the inner area is a restricted area and you will attain a wanted level if you trespass.
Big credit to ChrisAg for mapping it. Absolutely amazing map. Thank you.
HOUSE MAID SIDE-JOBA new job/activity has been added: Housemaid.
Properties will acculumate trash over a period of time.
Any civilian player can do the maid side-job by pressing LALT/WALK or typing /maid at the front door of a property that requires cleaning.
The job involves walking around the property picking up trash and depositing it into the trashcan.
Property owners can reduce the amount of trash that is generated within their property by purchasing the 'maid' property upgrade.
Once a property is cleaned by a maid, it will not begin to generate trash again for a while.
Property owners can perform the maid mission on their own properties but will not be paid (will still receive score).
You can start the maid mission from within a property with /maid.
You can find a house that requires cleaning with /maidfind or /maidsearch.
EXCLUSIVE DONATOR VEHICLES
Donators are now able to purchase the following personal vehicles (from a low or high end dealership):
Taxi, Mr Whoopee, Hotknife, Cabbie, Romero, Monster, Pizzaboy, Caddy, Hotring, Hotring Racer A, Hotring Racer B, Bloodring Banger, Journey, Tow Truck, Forklift, Tractor, Utility, Monster A, Monster B, Kart, Mower, Dune, Sweeper, Newsvan, Tug
DONATOR CUSTOM LICENCE PLATES
Donators can now set custom licence plates on vehicles! Simply use /plate anywhere any time. You can even set a color!
DONATOR VEHICLE COLOR CHANGING
Donators can now change their vehicle color anywhere any time, with /vcolor.
DONATOR LOTTO COMMAND
Donators can now pick a lotto number without visiting a store via /picklotto.
DUMPSTER DIVINGA new activity has been added: Dumpster Diving.
Any civilian player can approach any dumpster or trash can and must repeatedly tap the N key to search the dumpster. Who knows what you may find!
DAILY LOGIN BONUSPlayers will now receive a cash and score reward for consecutive days played.
You must play for 30 minutes and your 'active time' resets at midnight GMT/UTC.
Check /DLB for your daily login bonus stats, and to check how long you've played today.
TRAIN IMPROVEMENTS
Train crossings with barriers now emit a sound when a train is passing. The audio plugin is required for this (
https://mikescnr.com/audio).
Trains headlights now work at night, and will flash when approaching a crossing.
Being hit by a train is now always instant death.
If a player dies from being hit by a train, there is now a special chat death message for this rather than showing the NPC name.
1V1 DUELSPlayers can now participate in an organised 1v1 duel. Simply use the /duel /1v1 or /battle commands to invite another player to duel.
You will both be transported to a warehouse in which the battle will take place. You'll have 3 minutes to fight and the winner will get bragging rights.
SAFE ROBBERIESAll stores/shops now have safes which can be robbed in addition to robbing the clerk/cashier.
The payout is considerably higher, but you need skill and patience and maybe a bit of luck.
Checkpoint NPCsThere are now NPCs standing at certain checkpoints, such as hospitals and gas stations.
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.

- 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.

- 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).

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.

- 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.
- Spike strips can no longer be deployed if the height of them would be too different from the player's height.
- For example, a player was able to stand on the ledge of a building and deploy a spike strip down to the street below. This is no longer possible.

- /dropweapon now takes ground height into account so weapons don't appear under the ground.
- 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.

- Players are now frozen for an extra couple of seconds on spawn to prevent falling through scripted objects.
Main fixes- Fixed Pizzaboy mission bike sometimes not recognised as a mission vehicle if the vehicle was destroyed and respawned.
