New Police Item: Warrant Paper

Buy Warrant Paper at the Police Station, walk up to some estate, and write a warrant. Now deliver the warrant to either the Police Chief or the President. Drop the Warrant Paper near either one and let them sign — it’s not cheap!

  • Admins and moderators will always see the player name plates and their corresponding player id.
  • The Dedicated Server now logs player chat and impactful command usage.

  • Invulnerable players cannot deal damage.
  • Changed the way hat color is generated.
  • Reduced server log spam.
