First, lets start with what's new.

This months update was aimed at finding unique ways to improve current systems in the server and enhance RP & Realism inside of the server.

🚨For details on what's new, and how to use it, please click scroll down!.

With this, we have added the following new systems:

• Fully re-done Off-road & Traction Physics on all surfaces for all ground based vehicles. - Provides a more realistic feel and challenge when driving on non paved surfaces, ... and nerfing the chargers ability to drive up Chiliad ...

• A new and improved spawn-selector, with better performance, more locations and a nice UI!
• FULL Legion Square revamp.

Part 2 - The "EUP Wipe"

The EUP wipe was a collective effort of clearing, rebuilding, and optimizing the servers clothing content, with over 9000 files removed and thousands changed, added re-scaled etc, this was a huge undertaking!

New Scripts Guide & Tips

There's a lot in this update, so lets dive in on what each new system does, how it works, and how to use it! 💡Any highlighted headings, are clickable video links!

🛣️ Offroad & Traction Control System:

The offroad and traction system changes the feel, performance and properties of every surface & vehicle inside of True Night.

For example, in rainy conditions, all surfaces will lose more traction, or driving on sand in a heavy non AWD vehicle will cause traction loss and even sinking! These elements will ensure that you will always need to think about how you drive, where you drive, and what you drive, and will reward smart decisions, driving and vehicle choice.

🚗 Next up, vehicle towing & winching!

Oh no! You got stuck in some thick mud, with no one but a single tree nearby, never fear, as this next script is going to get you unstuck!

Usage: /towrope & /towwinch. Attach one end to the target vehicle, and the other end to the target object / vehicle.
For winching the vehicle which the rope is first attached to will be the controller, and when entering the vehicle you can hold L-SHIFT to activate the winching.

⚡ Spotlights, an important, and under appreciated piece of kit!

Vehicle spotlights are crucial in keeping eyes on suspects, vehicles or to light up a scene during the night hours. With the January update we have revamped the vehicle spotlight to improve performance, reliability, customization and of course, a ton of sweet features!

Features:
- Toggleable spotlight.
- Auto-Lock on suspects, animals & vehicles.
- Strobe mode.
- Passenger Control.
- Mouse Controlled.
- Lockable Position.
and the list goes on!!

While in an LEO vehicle, hold L-CNTRL to turn on the spotlight, the spotlight follows your mouse on your screen, and the position can be locked by pressing E. Target tracking is as simple as activating the spotlight, aiming and hitting L-SHIFT and for strobe hit R-SHIFT1 Hint! (All keybinds can be rebinded in fivem keybind settings!.
❓ Spotlight in the wrong spot? - Don't worry, simply run the /editspotlight command to fix it up with the spotlight editor, enjoy!

🐂Wildlife! Adding some life to the GTA Map!

This ones pretty simple, there is not dynamically spawning animals all over the map! From Deers in Cassidy to Cows in Grapeseed, this update aims to liven up the GTA world and give Game Warden some animals to protect, from hunters!

🔊 Sometimes, people just can't hear you, solution? Megaphone!

Again, a simple one, /megaphone for handheld, and then simply left click to speak into it! In vehicles, simply hold 4 (coming to Heli's soon!)

🎭 Emotes, the best way to add immersion to your RP!
