• VIP players will receive a 20% discount on all skins.
• Upon selling skins, Non-VIP users will receive 50% cash back, while VIP users will get 70% cash back.

2. GangWar Revamp:
 

• GangWar has been completely revamped with improved features!
• It's now easier than ever to start, join, or leave a GangWar:
  
  • /startgw: Start a GangWar yourself.
  • /joingw: Join an ongoing GangWar.
  • /leavegw: Leave a GangWar if you need to exit quickly.

3. Spawn Location Randomization:
 

• Default spawn positions for skins have been randomized.
• With the /spawnloc feature available, this change should not pose any issues.
• This adjustment aims to help new players avoid getting stuck during fights.

4. Ammu-Nation Sphere Restriction:
 

• Players with HP less than 90 will no longer be able to enter the Ammu-Nation sphere. This change is to ensure fair gameplay and safety in high-stakes situations.

5. Teleportation and Bank Updates:
 

• Teleportation to the bank has been disabled.
• Approximately 42 locations previously saved inside the bank have been deleted.
• The /saveloc command will no longer work inside the bank.

6. Custom Announcements Integration:
 

• Custom Announcements have been integrated into the server, allowing for more dynamic and tailored in-game notifications.

7. Setskin Command:
 

• Added the /setskin command to switch between skins without turning them off and on. Note that you still need to use the /useskin command to enable or disable skins.
  

8. Bug Fixes:
 

• Caps Lock Reset Issue: The bug where Caps Lock would reset upon rejoining has been fixed.
• Sell Skin Bug: Previously, skins would remain visible after being sold, with no way to remove them. This issue has now been resolved; skins are correctly removed immediately after sale.
• Duplicate Names in Leaderboards: The bug where names appeared twice in leaderboards such as top headshots and top killers due to database duplicates has been fixed, and the database has been cleaned.
• /buywep: Fixed a bug in the buywep command where purchasing a chainsaw required specifying ammo, which led to players accidentally losing their money by entering quantities like 100 instead of 1. Now, the ammo parameter is no longer required.

• Fixed Autobalancer: The autobalancer now avoids changing player teams too frequently and will not make changes if the GangWar remaining time is less than 220 seconds.
  
• GangWar Timing: GangWar can now only be started after a 15-minute cooldown period following the end of each GangWar.
  
• Scoreboard Update: The scoreboard is now sorted by top kills for improved clarity.
  
• Time Label Added: A time label has been added at the bottom of the screen to provide real-time.
  

• Reporting Low-Severity Offenses:
  Added a new rule specifying that only the affected party may submit reports for low-severity offenses (e.g., death evasion, wall glitching, close-range combat). If a third party wishes to report, they must provide proof that the affected party has given permission. Reports made without this authorization will not be accepted.
• Rule Violation Reporting Guidelines:
  Updated guidelines to state that if a low-severity rule break did not harm you and you do not have permission from the affected party, you are not allowed to report it.

• Rel 0.4.7.1: The server has been updated to Rel 0.4.7.1.
  
• Multi-Spawn in GangWar: Players will spawn at random points in gangwar
  
• /heal in GangWar: /heal command is now disabled in gangwar
  

Version 2.2.0 Changelog (December 1, 2024)

• The account system has undergone a significant revamp. This update affects the backend structure, but players will not notice any changes in the way the game is played.
  
  
• GangWar Autobalance Update: The gangwar autobalance mechanics have been updated in response to player feedback. Now, the system will no longer switch the top player of a team or any player who has been on the team for more than 5 minutes.
  
  
• Clan Command Update: The /clan command, used by clan leaders to manage their clans, has been revamped to provide more accurate syntax error handling and improve ease of use.
  
  
• Player stats are now regularly saved to the database. This change ensures that your progress and stats will be preserved, even if the server crashes under rare circumstances.
  
  New Commands:
  
  • You can now hide your stats from other players by using the /hidestats command. This feature allows you to keep your stats private and prevents others from sneaking a peek at them.
    
  • A new command, /distance, has been added, allowing you to check the distance between you and another player. This provides an easy way to track how far away you are from other players in the game world.
    
  
  
• The prices for several in-game items have been adjusted, as follows:
   
  
  • RPG ammo: Each round now costs $120.
       
    
  • Chainsaw: The purchase price of a Chainsaw has been set to $15,000. Additionally, if you withdraw a Chainsaw from your inventory, it will incur an extra fee of $2,000. If you fail to store the Chainsaw and lose it, you will need to repurchase it at the full price of $15,000.
       
    
  • Remote Grenade ammo: The cost of each Remote Grenade round is now $70.
       
    
• A new Weapon Inventory System has been added. Players can now:
   
  
  • Store weapons using the command /storewep.
       
    
  • Withdraw weapons and ammo using the command /usewep.
       
    
  • Check their weapon inventory using the command /myinv.
       
    
• For VIP players, weapons will now be automatically saved in the event of death or disconnection, preventing any loss of items or progress.
  
  
• Discord messages have been improved with embedded formatting. Now, joining and leaving messages, along with records for player sprees, bans, and warnings, will be displayed in a more visually appealing embedded format.

    - Resolved a minor bug in the `nogoto` command functionality.

19/3/2025 - 19th March, 2025
- Glitching through the vehicle rule updated:

• 19. Glitching through the vehicle: Spawning a car in a combat zone with the intent to use it as a shield or for cover is prohibited. This includes using a vehicle that has been parked by you or other players by driving it to the spot or via '/getcar'. However, using default server parked vehicle for these purposes is permitted.
  

20/3/2025 - 20th March, 2025
- Wall Glitching rule updated:

• 15. Wall Glitching : Wall-glitching with RPGs, grenades, molotovs, snipers, laser snipers, or flames is not allowed. However, an exception is made for close areas (e.g., Ammu-Nation, etc.), where wall-glitching with grenades, molotovs, flames, and RPGs (not at close range) is permitted. Wall-glitching from an open area into a close area is also punishable. Sniper and laser sniper wall-glitching are strictly prohibited in all cases, whether in open or close areas.
  

24/3/2025 - 24th March, 2025
- AHK usage rule:

• 26. Usage of AHK Scripts : AHK scripts are undetectable, and we cannot prevent their use. However, abusing them to exploit commands, such as spamming actions that are impossible for a human to perform, is strictly prohibited. This applies to any command, including /anim, /heal, or any other that provides an unfair advantage over other players.
  
  Using AHK for convenience, such as quick /heal in combat to avoid manual typing, is allowed. However, excessive or unnecessary use, such as repeatedly using /heal when it is not needed or spamming /anim even when no one is around, is not allowed. Any exploitative use that creates an unfair disadvantage for others may result in a warning or a ban.
