v0.6.1 Patch Notes | Vinewood Hills Roleplay

New LSFD job: fires that spread (brush fires follow the wind), hose lines from the truck, hydrants to refill, fire stations and fire calls in the MDT
Fire gear is fireproof on duty, LSFD has its own radio channels and a fire radial menu
New Firefighting skill that levels as you work

Courts, the DA, public defenders and the bar, tied into the MDT and Bolingbroke
Plead at booking when a judge is on, bail, hearings, juries, expungement, attorney bills and court notices on your phone
NPC defendants for slow days, and a courthouse blip

K9 units: drive a K9 car on duty and your dog rides in the back. NUMPAD1 deploys or loads it, NUMPAD0 sends it at a person, sniffs a car or calls it off. No K9 car? Pick a dog up at the kennel by your station's motor pool.
Body cams that only record while you actually wear one (Page Down on foot), with the voices of people nearby. Fist fights now show up on dash and body cam footage.
NPCs can be drunk or high and act like it. Opioid users can overdose in custody (EMS gets the call), and police carry Narcan.
Armed NPCs can refuse to drop the gun: real standoffs. Crime now differs by region.
Person BOLOs in the MDT, and car theft calls describe the car and plate
Wrecked fleet cars are written off so you can sign out another. Police cars left behind show a GPS tracker blip, and the fleet manager can locate or write them off.
Wall rappelling with a rappel rope (Left Alt at a roof edge), and heli rappels no longer leave you stuck
Witnesses in a car phone it in from the seat instead of getting out
Drop-leg holsters have their own draw animation
Long MDT case files scroll

/do, /scene notes you leave in the world, and /desc, /bio and /journal (tear a page out as a note you can hand over)
Storytellers can run NPCs you can talk to, stage scenes, send letters and texts, and track story threads
Ask any local "Heard anything?" for rumors, or pay $40 to spread one
Character deaths: ask for a CK in /bio > Retire, name an heir, and a storyteller carries it out
Weazel News: reporters write and publish stories with photos, breaking news banners, and a $2 newspaper from the news stands
Crews: start one with /crew, invite members, place a shared stash, post on your board. The city's gangs remember how you treat them.

Payphones on every phone booth: $1 coins, call booths, cell phones, 911, 0 and 411. Cell phones can call booths too. It's a payphone, so it might eat your change. Give it a whack.
Phone Gallery app: Snapmatic, saved and memory card photos in one place
Police scanner (BearTrax, $650 at Digital Den) picks up county dispatch late and only in range
New garages + impound with a live preview of your car. Every mod and dent is saved; spare keys are $150 at any garage.
33 county starter homes in Paleto Bay, Sandy Shores, Grapeseed and Harmony, from $250 a week
New Player Guide (/guide): first steps for new characters, with $500 when you finish them
Pay for fuel with cash, debit or credit
Our own door locks on every station and Pillbox door (Left Alt to lock, unlock or pick)
St. Fiacre hospital check-in with 9 beds
The Strawberry Ave arches show 3D rooms behind their windows

Less grind: new characters start with $1,000 cash and $15,000 in the bank, and existing characters were topped up to $15,000
Civilian pay, reporter pay and the bus, trucker, tow and LS Water & Power jobs pay more
Items weigh about half as much, and shop prices are lower
Boosting gives more contracts of your own class, a faster queue and more A/S rep

Mechanic: part grades (used, OEM, performance, race), real bodywork and paint jobs, and five new minigames
New skills: Firefighting, Forensics and Safecracking
Merryweather pays your hospital bill after a sanctioned op, and raiders now drive all the way in
Gunshot residue can be scrubbed off without a shower

New menus everywhere: almost every menu, shop, job panel and dialog now uses the server's own look
New compass at the top of the screen
Cinematic mode (/cinematic) hides every HUD element, with black bars optional
New blood: drops, pools, smears, boot prints and trails that follow how hard you bleed
A Wallet slot that holds your cash and cards, and hats get knocked off in fights and crashes (pick them back up)
New walk style: Strut (/walk strut)
Smaller textures on police, Merryweather and emergency vehicles, clothing and weapons, for better FPS

Fists and the nightstick hit softer, and the Coil C9 taser no longer kills NPCs or makes them bleed
The dart pistol tranquilizes: it knocks people down and sedates them instead of hurting them
Station armories no longer hand out the Veterans Pistol, or a spare plate carrier when you already wear armor

The manual gearbox stumbled after shifts, lost drive after shifting and could lock at the rev limiter
The compass looked different per player
Some walls on Strawberry Ave could be walked through
Two more fix attempts for the game crash on East Joshua Road. Tell us if it still happens.
