Multiplayer Training Mode:
More than five years passed since we added Training mode to no-ghostmode arenas, but unfortunately changes had to be reverted soon enough as the update was poorly executed. Here we go again with completely reworked solution.
Where does that work? DD, Hunter & Shooter (Infernus only) arenas excluding rooms with respawn.
How to join? Press ENTER key when dead/waiting for next round.
Specifics? There are no rewards & killdetector is disabled. The main purpose is to have fun during waiting time.

Garage New Map:
Even though summer is about to end soon, we're adding a new map made by @~~|Tampon) full of summer vibes. Map weather gives your vehicle better brightness from every angle, allowing you to get better results.

PTP Update: @JessePinkman

• Squad Spawn:
  With a map as big as San Andreas, it is painful and time-consuming to follow the President for 5+ minutes straight only to get killed by a single bullet to the head. With this new feature, players in a squad can spawn on their squadmates and instantly get back to the action!
  
  • players can squad-spawn once per spawn
  • players cannot squad-spawn if their squadmate is near an enemy or is in combat
  • non-Medic players cannot squad-spawn on Medics
• New Presidents and Limousines:
  There were 9 President sub-classes, yet only 3 of them were being played. The difference between the levels was tiny since only the armor and engine were getting an upgrade. For that reason, we decided to get rid of the redundant sub-classes and introduce 3 unique President sub-classes that are all special and useful in their own ways.

17.10.2021 - Conguard, Minigames New Modes, Tuning Garage Update, PTP Update, Bugfixes & Improvements

Conguard:
Introducing a network/connection helper, which provides measures to deal with lagswitch/connection abuse (quite actual nowadays for Shooter scene) or is supposed to improve the gameplay for others in case of unintentional connection loss.
How does that work? When a player loses connection to the server, the player will be frozen for all remote players with a little transparency applied and a "lost connection" icon will be placed above player's nickname. Upon re-connection, the player will be unfrozen and set back to their original position before they lost connection, to avoid the teleporting exploit. After 3 interruptions, the player will be kicked from arena.
Where does that work? DD, Hunter, Shooter & corresponding CW rooms.
