Version 1.2

12-26 - Upgraded the VIP system to make it easier to use. You can now have a loadable, savable VIP car. Hobos now have spawn vehicles. Fixed a bug with score-setting.

12-23 - Locking cars no longer conflicts with admin car lock overrides. Added a tank somewhere.

12-18 - Pausers should now be transported to another world so that other people cant get a pause kill by just finding somebody. Fixed a few other glitches with the pause system. Added a new class - Hobos! They spawn in Downtown LS. Their spawn weapons are bad, but they have a charity nearby that will give them free weapons! Fixed a few issues with pickups, too.

12-12 - Have a fully-working race script! Races automatically start every few minutes and automatically end and restart.\nIn-race hazard pickups added, when one is picked up your car's tires may pop, health may decrease or\nyour car might even flip into the air! Fixed a serious bug with dueling.

12-8 - It took a lot of time, but I finally finished making a BETA race script. It will auto-start races every 10 minutes. Fixed a bug in duels where the loser doesn't spawn with weapons. Fixed the kill spree text draw (hopefully). Fixed a certain Hell-sent pickup that would crash the server.

11-2 - ALL bugs that are testable with 1 person should be fixed. Added a deagle c-bug practice script where you can empty a deagle clip and it will tell you how many milliseconds it took. The top 3 speeds are recorded and readable with /deaglerecord. You can use /cbug to start the test and /stopdeagle when you are done.

10-19 - Removed the NRG stunting message that appears when you're stunting. To make the scripts and server cleaner, the NRGs used in stunting are kept track of, and will respawn in their original location if the player leaves stunting. /nrg now heals and brings the NRG to you.

10-18 - Fixed a problem with death messages not showing. Made /stunt send you to a virtual world so people can't bother you during stunting. Fixed a bug with deagle record recording. Fixed a bug where you aren't considered out of a race after typing /quitrace. Fixed a bug where /stunt didn't detect if you were already in an event.

10-17 - Added a C-bug speed script. You can use /cbug to activate the mode, and the speed it took you to shoot 7 deagle shots is put on the chat. It will show to all others who are using /cbug. The top 3 speeds are recorded, and you gain money for beating records.

10-14 - Fixed a bug with weed where it doesn't stop refilling health. Hospital health no longer disappears when someone takes it. You now hold down the crouch key to get a dropped weapon instead of repeatedly pressing it. Hopefully fixed kill sprees - killing people in multiples of 5 sends a message to the chat, and gives you bonuses. Translated the /help system to Spanish.

10-12 - Fixed bug where you respawn with drugs if you exit a duel vehicle. Fixed races.

10-11 - Gang houses now play Dirty South Radio - you can disable this in your PCP. Added an anti-pause death evade system. Fixed potential /reclass abuse, multiple duel bugs, and threw people in a VW when they go stunting, so as to avoid teleportation accusations.

10-9 - Added gang houses and weed. Redid pickups so that they are all done in one script. Added a small help system (/help).

10/1 - Added ability to drop weapons by using /d, other players can pick them up. Weapons also drop when you kill someone. Bike DB duels should work now.

7-18 - You can now disable gang comments via your player control panel.

6-25 - Added a race filterscript! 2 races are made so far. Cars are automatically provided, and you get nitro for your car when you are racing. Fixed a problem with rustler duels not recognizing when someone loses. Weapon / health / armor pickups work perfectly now, and will respawn every 45 seconds (this is synced to all players).

6-10 - All gangs have a modded vehicle somewhere in their spawn. Added ping and FPS values to /stats.

6-9 - Added an Ammunation system in Willowfield that seems to work fine. Adding a different one in Market which seems to have some problems right now.

6-7 - Weapons, armor and health now respawn every 60 seconds. Your color is set to white when you disconnect, and set to the actual gang color after you spawn. You now cannot chat if you aren't spawned.

5-28 - Enforcers now give armor (temporary update until armor and health respawn properly). Added new health + armor spawn near Didier Sach's.

5-27 - Added rustler option to duel menu. Character comments for Vagos and Ballas added.

5-24 - Hopefully fixed /reclass bug where you can't be killed by Grove Street. Modified weapon anti-cheat.

5-7 - Hopefully fixed the armor thing where people get armor when they pick weapons up (wasn't supposed to really happen).

5/6 - Did a HUGE organization overhaul on the admin system. Added /vspec. Experimental OnPlayerDeath gang comments implemented - when you kill someone as GSF or a Balla, it should play a comment for you and the person you killed.

5/2 - Added lots of new cars, thanks to [RD]matthewmola. Fixed /nrg.

4/13 - Re-ordered the stunt numbers to omit the 80 - 122 gap, added some new stunts.

3/24 - Fixed (hopefully) many bugs, including weapon pickups, no-reloading with non-Sawnoffs (this is allowed), and armor spawns. \nMade many advancements in the stunt system.

3/23 - Stunts are almost able to show you a corona where you must jump to, and will reward you with money!

3/18 - Your ID now shows up near your name in the chat.

3/17 - Updated the deathmatch event script with a few new places.
