[General]

* Add a One Shot deathmatch. As the title suggests, it will take one shot to kill a fellow player. Weapons are automatically switched and the selection currently includes Silenced Pistol, Deagle, Shotgun, and Sniper.
* Work around SA-MP bug which desyncs players when their throat is cut from a knife. Players should be properly killed now.
* Teles -> Skill maps now redirects to our modern /challenges dialog.
* Reduce the chance of players falling underneath the map at races and at various teleports. Due to lag, this can not be entirely prevented but it should be significantly reduced now. Please note, this is rather experimental so do report any issues.
* Add /afkers to display a list of players currently AFK (with a pretty timestamp).
* Improved Derby to allow for explosions as the few moments it gives can be critical to victory. Previously players were removed when their vehicle caught fire.
* Performance improvements.

[Fixes]

* Fix players remaining frozen in CnR if the cop abandons the transport vehicle. Reported by @Polarbear
* Fix /nos being potentially usable in non-nitro races.
* Fix only cops having armor in CnR. Reported by @SimpleX
* Fix race toptime message formatting and an issue where a player would see a completely wrong time. Reported by @Sulps
* Fix bugged spectator state which might happen to Derby players. This is due to a SA-MP bug.
* Fix wheel preference not being applied unless autotune is enabled. If autotune is enabled, random wheels will be set if there is no preference. Reported by @S!lent

[Map updates]

@Madvillayo:

* Implement the first ever Underwater Derby map. Yes. It's as awesome as it sounds!
* Update Drag map. The map is much smoother now and some bugs were fixed.
* Huge update to 1337land. Adds a new island, bug fixes, performance improvements and custom houses!

cawfee:

* Adjust ramps near Hoover Dam which blocked the road.
* Fix missing object in an LV wallride.
* Fix very small object in IP3's wallride (was barely perceptible but could still lead to failure).
* Remove some pointless objects in LV which blocked roads or generally served no use.
* Implement THREE new Skydive challenges, thanks to SEF. They live in a new category in /teles - Skydives. More on the way.

[Race]

* Add support for new race types: Multiple Vehicle and Custom.

A multiple vehicle race is similar to a regular race; difference being support for checkpoints which change a racer's current vehicle.
A custom race is a race where vehicle nitro and repair usage are controlled by checkpoints and current race progress. Vehicle changing is supported as well.
Special checkpoints introduced by these types are denoted by a text label during the race. Click here and here for a example!

* Car hide (/carhide). Ever felt laggy in a race with many players or distracted by others? Use /carhide to race privately. Thanks to @Bassam for suggesting.
* Hydraulics can no longer be applied during a race.
* Vehicles can no longer be spawned during a race.
* Players can now vote for redo if they've finished the race and others are still racing.
* Message to vote for the next race will only be shown if there isn't another race in queue.
* Fix nitro not being removed from vehicles in races with nitro disabled and no required vehicle preference.
* Fix possibility of player object streaming not being in accordance with a race's preference
* Fix object streaming not returning to preference if spectating a racer who uses /leave. Reported by Kostas.

[Race Building]

* Add support for Multiple Vehicle and Custom race types.

/vcp - Adds a vehicle change checkpoint. One's current vehicle is used as the swap vehicle. Suppose you are building a race with an Infernus as the starting vehicle and you would like to change to a Sandking. Simply spawn a Sandking and then use /vcp.
/rcp - Adds a repair checkpoint. This will repair a racer's vehicle.
/ncp - Adds a nitro checkpoint. When entered, it will apply the nitro component to a racer's vehicle.
/rncp - Adds a repair and nitro checkpoint. This will both repair the racer's vehicle and add the nitro component.
Updated Checkpoints dialog (/rb -> Checkpoints) to denote special checkpoints.

* Race previewing now calculates time taken and displays it when finished. Suggested by @S!lent
* Map icons are now visible to denote the next CP location as in regular races. Suggested by @Sulps.
* Improved help documentation. See /rb -> Help.
* Fix nitro being usable while previewing a race which disallows it.
* Fix previewing status remaining set after a new submission is loaded if one was previewing a race earlier.
* Fix vehicle angle not being properly set when previewing a race or selecting a CP.
* Fix race settings (nitro and object streaming) not being transferred properly in an accepted submission. Apologies to those who thought their races were being tampered with!
* Fix inability to use /rb after finishing a race.

* Stunt Wars

To reignite interest in stunting, we have designed a competitive stunting minigame. Stunts start periodically and run for 20 minutes. In this time, anyone will be able to join using /swar and attempt to complete the stunt by entering and remaining in the checkpoint for 5 seconds. Each stunt allows /s and /l (NUM 2 as a hotkey to /l) to be utilized since there are multiple ways a stunt may be completed. There is an arrow pickup which will serve as a guide on how to perform a stunt.
Once one completes the stunt, the stunt ends and is consequently controlled by that player. Our system supports unlimited stunts and they can be created and managed on the fly by higher level staff. There are currently 40 to start.

Credit largely goes to @Madvillayo; whose ideas and framework for this minigame made it possible! He is also responsible for all of the lovely stunts!

* User interface improvements. The bar textdraw (which formerly indicated players in minigames) has been removed and replaced. There is now a global announcement textdraw to encourage participation in minigames and a tip textdraw for informational messages.
* Weapon can now be bought at any time through /buyweapon or /weapons. Conditions apply.
* Deaths are no longer counted against stats in the Shooter minigame.
* Fix objects potentially being bugged for spectators of racers.
* Fix players remaining in internal spectating state if they die while spectating. Reported by @Kostas
* Fix challenges not spawning the required vehicle when the player was in a vehicle already. Reported by @Bassam and @Luis.
* Fix ability to use a different trailer in the /delivery minigame. Reported by @Sulps
* Fix delivery mission ending when a player's vehicle was destroyed. Reported by @Sulps
* Fix race top time notification not displaying if a player had a top time before that, or if it's worse. Reported by @Sulps.
* Fix animations not working the first time.
* New and improved animations (/anims):
/siteat, /sit (added 6 styles), /cheer, /deal, /dj, /smoke, /walk (added 20 styles), /dance (added 9 styles), /nobreath, /signal, /wave (adds 2 new styles), /gesture, /chat /handwash, /rap, /salute, /cry, /checktime, /sleep

Map updates

* Infernus Skills II. Huge thanks to @IroniZ who submitted this map to me over a year ago.
* Moved Trackmania III to avoid conflicting with Trackmania II. Trackmania II can now be completed nicely!
* Minor update to @Madvillayo's 1337land
* Remove Monster Hay

* Introducing Shooter: Capture the Flag. This is a team based minigame where the team that captures the most flags wins. Teams are Red and Blue and the objective is to steal the opposing team's flag and return it to the team base to score. Projectiles can be fired with LMB and are used to attack and defend flags. The command to join is /ctf and there is a /ctfhelp command for help as well.
* Teams are automatically balanced and players are randomly assigned to them to promote fairness.

* Anti Kamikaze. It is not possible for a vehicle to be used as an explosive weapon.

[General]

* Add FPS textdraw (bottom right corner) which'll display one's current FPS. As with other textdraws, this one can be hidden with /tdsettings. This is good to know and it offers nice potential such as encouraging people to improve their FPS through various optimizations. It will also be visible in /stats.
* Increase house furniture allotment to 30 items. Suggested by @Karolina:)
* Players can no longer use animations in challenges.
* Player object attachments are now hidden in Cops and Robbers. Due to skin changes, they wouldn't fit properly. Thanks to @IroniZ for noticing.
* Improve business delivery messaging. The messages will fit on one line now. Thanks to @Madvillayo for pointing out.
* Prevent possibility of finishing an on foot challenge with a jetpack. Thanks to @Kostas for reporting
* Add new statistic - Challenges Completed which will count the number of times challenges were completed from /challenges. Thanks to @Codriver for suggesting.
* Add achievement "Daredevil" for completing 500 challenges.
* Players can no longer send money to those who are on their ignore list (/ignore).
* Remove Survivor minigame due to popular opinion and usability issues. It will be replaced with something far better in the future.
* Improved sync of vehicle collisions and object visibility for spectators
* Improved quality of gameplay when Stunt War time runs out.
* Probably fix random invisible projectiles in CTF. Thanks to @AlanNeos for assistance testing.
* Fix players not respawning in Stunt Wars should they die somehow. Thanks to @Madvillayo for reporting.

[Gang]

* Revamped Gang Rank system. The new system adds a level hierarchy and a smarter interface for managing ranks through /gang -> Ranks.
Unlike before, ranks are created for the gang and members are assigned to them. Overall this means members of the same gang can be assigned the same rank with ease and without duplicate effort. It also means ranks are truly ranks and not merely titles with permissions. Two gang members can have the same permissions but if one is outranked, they aren't able to take actions against that person. Previously this was possible. As a consequence of this new system, all existing gang ranks are erased. This is a small price to pay for a better system and if one is in a gang with an inactive owner, I can make appointments to keep the gang alive.
* Fix gang members not seeing their money being updated when a gang is closed and the vault cash divided amongst members. Thanks to Voltz for reporting.
* Fix gang members not being notified when someone delivers to their gang-owned business. Thanks to @Kostas for reporting.

[Map Updates]

* Trackmania 4 by @nave (/tm4)! This can best be described as a race map for everyone. It's smooth, not too difficult, and enjoyable!
* Minor tweaks to world edits by @IroniZ

* Added a new /ctf (Capture The Flag) map, "Horizon", which was also created by @madvillayo, and looks fabulous!

[General]

* Disallowed /changeplate in Minigames, as it was prone to abuse (we're looking at you...stunt war!)

* The server will now automatically kick desynced players. Such players were prone to receiving lots of reports, and were also unable to enjoy the full SFSE experience.

[Staff]

* Various improvements to the admin system, allowing us to make the server more enjoyable for everyone!

* Custom vehicle addons for staff and VIP (/vattach). It features a custom live editor to allow for precise positioning of objects on vehicles. Each player can have up to 5 different vehicle models with 5 different objects for each. Should anyone have suggestions for objects to be included in the list, we'd be happy to hear them!
* Specialized vehicle control features:
/togengine - Toggle engine on/off​
/toglights - Toggle lights on/off​
/togalarm - Toggle alarm on/off​
/toghood - Toggle hood open/closed​
/togdoor - Open/close specified vehicle door (1-4)​
/togwindow - Open/close specified vehicle window (1-4)​
These settings persist regardless of vehicle damage (although there is visual glitching that can occur when the vehicle is damaged and the setting is reapplied).​
* Add player toggle for hydraulics (/toghyd). Instead of being forcibly applied in minigames Derby and CTF, it now depends on this setting. Per-player spawned vehicles also adhere to this preference and will install hydraulics automatically. /hyd now serves as a way to manually add/remove the component.
* New achievement "Essential Worker" - complete a business delivery mission. This replaces the "First Blood" achievement.
* Sniper is now available as a weapon in Duels.
* Revmped /cmds and /vcmds dialogs
* New Grove Street teleport: /grove
* Reward values are now shown in /challenges.
* Reduce duel chat message spam when multiple rounds are played.
* Add /housecar as a way to quickly access a house's vehicle preferences.
* Fix house spawning not working. Thanks to @madvillayo for reporting.
* Fix StuntWar leaderboard best time not updating when players improve their time.
* Fix players not being removed from a Private DM when they didn't respond to an update. Thanks @Kostas and @Luis for reporting and testing.
