Patch Notes • 3.55
This month, we've made some major changes to our property systems back-end, alongside adding a bunch of new features and bug fixes by popular demand in player feedback. Alongside this, our development team have made significant progress on the In-Character Social Media website (60%), and will also be working on overhauling the wardrobe plugin and removing the final bugs and issues with the saving discovered after the fixing of the player clone issue we had throughout 2020 - 2022.
We started a Summer Sale with 20% OFF all packages until the 24th of June & In addition to the general bug fixes and server changes this month, more features and updates will be released with the Summer Update occurring on the 25th of June.
Server Changes
Below is a list of implemented changes made to SchoolRP within the last month.
Updates
- Non-instrument items now have a 2 second cooldown between uses.
- You can now see the username of an incoming caller/texter by hovering over the chat message.
- Updated the Tablist and Pause Menu to display the SchoolRP logo.
- Implemented new Summer Update features (available from the 25th of June).
- Rentable Boats for the Summer (these expire at the start of fall/autumn).
- Add working Water Guns.
- Add working Jetskis.
- A new Discord bot has been added to all of the SchoolRP sub-servers and the Roleplay Hub Discord.
- You can check the in-game time using this bot by typing /time in any command channel (Discord only), or by checking the bot's Discord status.
- You can get answers to some Frequently Asked Questions by using /help in any command channel (Discord only).
- The Property (apartment/house) system has been overhauled and improved with new features.
- You can now check all of the properties you're added to by doing /property keys.
- You can now add Administrators to your property which will allow them manage locked doors, bypass locked doors, and add/remove other members of the property.
- The system has been updated to include types (offices, estates, towers, shops, and residences).
- All properties have access to editmode, meaning factions/properties that once relied on requesting Creative mode will no longer need to do so.
- You can now lock your own doors inside of your property using /p door lock, and /p door add.
- You can add managers to the door to help you manage the door (add and remove members of the door) by doing /p door addmanager.
- You can no longer break chests that aren't empty, so you'll always need to empty chests before breaking them. This is to prevent item loss.
- A GUI has been added to editmode to help newer players understand and use the property system. This is accessed by right-clicking the Redstone Comparator on the 9th slot of your hotbar whilst in editmode.
- You can now use Barriers & Light blocks by getting the Builder Kit found in the editmode GUI.
- You can manage members, admins and editors of your property via the editmode GUI (this is most useful for those that have more than 15 members/editors/admins).
- The new In-Character Social Media, previously known as 'ONRAIN' is still being worked on, with around 60% completion so far. (see a teaser in the spoiler below)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Shopkeepers roles on I.Ds
- Fixed Phone ringtones playing on the incorrect category (they now play through jukebox/noteblock sounds [or 'Phone Songs' with the resourcepack]).
- Fixed Instruments playing on the incorrect category (they now play through jukebox/noteblock sounds [or 'Phone Songs' with the resourcepack]).
- Fixed Property editmode to prevent item-loss on restarts (we're still looking into issues when players lose connection, however restarts no longer cause item-loss).
- Fixed Breathalyzers no longer working after the implementation of the new items system.
- Fixed /seen not showing when a player isn't found.
- Fixed Donation ranks displaying incorrectly on the forums.
- Fixed the suspended role to remove itself after the suspension has ended.
- Fixed Bicycle movement.
