1/12/2015

• Players can take and put away their phone using /phone only if they possess one;
  
• Players can call people using the interactive phone textdraws;
  
• Players are not yet charged fees for calling, though, the code has been written;
  
• Players can store contacts so that they don't have to memorize all the numbers (this needs some adjustments to make it look more appealing);
  
• Players can turn on/off their phone
  

---

3/12/2015

• I fixed the feature to add/remove/list contacts to/from/on your phone. The script is now fully functional;
  
• Players are now able to see who is calling them. The name of the caller pops up on the screen when they are in your contacts and it will pop up as 'unknown' when they are not.
  

---

5/12/2015

• Fixed the phone textdraws that tell the callee who's calling them;
  
• Added private vehicles;
  
• All players can have 1 private vehicle (donators can have 3);
  
• Private vehicles are not spawned when the owner is offline;
  
• Players can store all types of items in the trunk;
  
• Players can start and turn off their engine using 'Y' on the keyboard;
  
• Players can enable their vehicle radio using 'R' on the keyboard (music is heard by everyone in the vehicle and for everyone when the windows are rolled down);
  
• Players can roll down and roll up their windows (rolling the windows up will limit the IC conversation to the people inside the car);
  
• Donated vehicles are equipped with an automated lock when the owner is not in the vehicle;
  
• Players can scavenge unlocked trunks. It is advised to keep your vehicle locked when not near;
  
• Players can steal private vehicles (when unlocked). It requires the thief to vandalise the dashboard and rewire the ignition circuit.
  
• Stolen vehicles are given to the thief. The police can give the vehicle back to the rightful owner when the thief is caught. **
  
• The police will be notified when someone attempts to enter a lot of vehicles in a short period of time in the same area.
  

**: The stolen vehicle is handed over to the thief script-wise. This means that the rightful owner loses his private vehicle. The police must track down the vehicle (and optionally the thief) in order for the rightful owner to get his vehicle back. (Yes, I am aware of possible abuse! This feature will be tweaked to avoid abuse).

These features are not all added yet. They should be included in the end product. A new post will appear when all they are implemented!

6/12/2015 - 7/12/2015

I have dedicated this Sunday to rewrite the very first version of the vehicle script as it was malfunctioning due to a lot of logical errors and checks throughout the script. By the time you read this, it has already been rewritten. It is not yet tested.

8/12/2015

It took me well over two days to fix the most annoying bug I have ever encountered.

• I updated the server's information on the SAMP launcher;
  
• Vehicles owned by players can only be (un)locked and started by the owner;
  
• There are 50 free vehicles on the server for everybody to use. They cannot store any items and they cannot be locked.
  
• The local IC chat is no longer seen by everyone on the server.
  

The server has been online for a brief moment because I realised that I had forgotten a thing or two to add. Won't take long. I will keep you all updated! Sorry for the day delay.

---

Continuation on 8/12/2015

The first test run on the server with Doughboy and Meebo was a success. I wrote everything down that needed to be added ASAP. I will do so in the next few days. I will keep you updated!

Reminder: weapons are not saved yet due to a function error in the script. I'm working as hard as I can to solve this. Do not buy any weapons for now.

Functionality to the 24/7's will follow tomorrow. Sorry for it taking so long. Yes, I am aware of missing mappings. You are advised to quickly exit an interior upon entering it, to avoid falling to your death. This will also be fixed tomorrow.

Note: This update is not live yet as of the time of me posting this! I will keep you updated.

Total played time is reset for everyone that had a corrupted value in their field. Luckily, nobody owned a weapon yet.

It has been a rough week for me. The vehicle script had to be rewritten multiple times and I honestly just lost interest in continuing it but I dragged myself through it and I got it working! I'm finishing it up and it will be live later on today (possibly within an hour or two).
