Hi everyone,
Our open beta launch went off without a hitch. We managed to work our way through each of the issues that occurred on the night and are still running as strong as ever.
General Changes
Inventory changes made, can now carry higher amounts of certain items.
UI text added to the Laundromat location to know when in marker.
Money washing dropped from 35% to 25%.
Changes made to the armoured truck rewards and rob time.
Certain vehicles have been removed from PDM. (Monster Truck, Oppressor, etc).
Two different types of lockpicks have been condensed into one. So if you have any Multi-Picks on you, they are no longer used for anything. Feel free to get rid of them.
A new F8 command has been setup, if you get stuck in your crafting book, just press F8 and type fobook.
Drug selling has been added, please test and let us know of any issues. Selling to peds is triggered via the ALT interact menu.
Added more parking at PDM, so parked cars block you from getting vehicles out less often.
Protest sign is in with 1 basic design (Sorry VicPol).
All AI emergency services / military vehicles should no longer spawn on the map.
Piggyback is in! /piggyback someone to give them a ride!
Vehicle Locking
Car locking has been updated. Lock and unlock your car with PAGEDOWN or use the vehicle options under the ~ menu.
Two additional commands added: /givespare - Give a nearby player a spare key. /checkspares - Check currently owned spare keys (These will be added to the ~ menu for easy access also).
Weapon Changes
Tazer will now only let you fire when the bar is fully recharged (like it should) - This should also help with stunlock issue somewhat.
Weapon Safety feature now tells you when you try firing and the safety is enabled - Reminder: Press C to disengage it.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE INTERESTED IN POLICE AND AMBULANCE ROLES.
As well as head of the Police Department.
Just a fresh update for everyone.
Our open-beta week has been an incredible experience so far, we have been able to ensure that any of the issues found while people are testing are resolved as we continue to improve and optimise.
Check out some of our latest patch notes.
General Changes
When paying for items, shops will take cash off you first if you have enough otherwise they’ll take from your bank account.
Added street speed limits to UI.
Highly optimised some third-party resources.
Updated the map marker for ANZ Banks.
Hospitals
Hospital check in’s are now working, press ALT on the front desk to have a Doctor treat your injuries for a price.
Ensured bed spawning locations are correct.
Job & Activity Changes
Fixed car theft jobs taking money from you and then denying you the job .
Background updates to Victorian Police CAD system to support bill paying.
Fishing
Added more interaction prompts to Fishing.

Updated notification system for Fishing.
Fixed up the coordinates for returning your rented boat, so they’re generally close to the spot you rented them from.
Updated the boat rental menu so it’s easier to see.

It’s officially our launch day and we’re so excited to show you what we’ve been working on.
Come and join us, check out all the awesome things we’ve set up for everyone.
We have so many future plans and ideas for MelbRP.
Salvage Diving - Deep see diving for coins, jewellery and some other interesting finds.
Mail Delivery - Load up your truck with packages and deliver them all around Melbourne.
General Changes
Bosses of player owned business can no longer wash money through their Boss menu. This has been removed so bosses are now unable to launder money wherever they are (This was way too overpowered)
Business Owners (Bosses) will now find another marker at the money cleaning location. This is just for bosses and only they will be able to see it, when used they will lose 23% to “taxes”, opposed to the normal 25%. This is to bring businesses more in line with the rest of the player-base while still providing a small benefit to owning a business, but not too much of a benefit.
Added a new Wilson’s Public Garage in Mirror Park (Postcode 422)
Updated a lot of the public garages to include multiple spawning locations so there should be less issues with pulling cars out of the garage because the parking spots are blocked. Let me know if you still come across this.
Added locked doors for Vanilla Unicorn’s office and JJ’s Autobody main roller door. Now you will be unable to enter unless you have a key to unlock the doors.
Updated MelbRP background on mobile phones so it looks less “scuffed”.
Trucking Changes
Updated information for the trucking radio station on the Statistics screen. Just to remind everyone that you do not require the job to work as a Trucker, but you will need the job to have access to the Trucker’s Radio Channel.
Fixed multiple delivery locations that were behind low fences or in difficult to park locations.
Removed “Drivers” from the Statistics screen as this is not something we’re using.
Salvage Diving Changes
Updated diving notification systems to okokNotify.
Updated pictures for all items.
Updated diving for Fish to Lobsters.
Notification when selling items now tells you the total amount instead of amount for one item.
Fixed issue with people getting stuck underwater in some cases when salvaging
Patch deployed to address issue with washpan check when mining
Patch deployed to address issue with diving job item check
Inventory bug fixed
Mining job updated to support inventory changes
Additional tools added to assist staff
Car locking issus are now resolved.
Removed the dash (-) from everyone’s phone numbers so you don’t need to include it to make a phone call or send a message anymore.
Updated contacts and phone logs to match
Fixed an issue with the mail job not registering new employees in some situations
EMS Changes
New Skeletal Injury System added in which includes bodily harm actions:
Hurt Leg will make you limp and slow down
Hurt Arm will effect aiming/recoil
Hurt Body/Head can cause concussion/blurry vision/lessen sprint and make you passout
Ignoring injuries/Hunger/Thirst can and will make you slowly bleed out/die
Use /injuries to check your injuries, check into a hospital or contact a paramedic to heal your limbs
Added a 24/7 Servo in Paleto Bay (Where the Wilson’s Parking is)
Prices have been lowered for all types of legal and illegal fish.
Added missing item images for Fishing rewards.
Wilson’s Public Parking has been added right outside the prison. Now there should be much less of a reason to steal a vehicle as soon as you leave prison.
Repair Kits and Tuning Chips are now available outside the front door of JJ’s Autobody (Postcode 101)
Updated the AFK Kick message so it’s a lot more noticeable (Note: You’ll be given more than 15 seconds notice, this was for testing)
Police Changes
Radar has now been changed from miles per hour to kilometres per hour.
Changed the radius when VICPOL place people into their cars from a 5m radius to 3m. This is to try and resolve issues where officers will put someone in their vehicle and they’ll be placed in an NPC vehicle nearby.
Illegal Activity Changes
24/7 store in Paleto is now able to be robbed.
Reduced cop requirement for store robberies from 2 to 1.
Slightly increased the time it takes to rob a store clerk.
Added a server-wide timeout of 5 minutes between store robberies.
Ramen Death Match
Updated images for all ingredients
Set pricing for all ingredients
Updated cooking/making food and drink items from 1 at a time to 10 at a time. Making it easier to sell in stacks of 50
Resolved an issue with moving more than 10 items from the fridge storage
Added a map blip for Ramen Death Match in 552.
Housing Changes
Removed the ability to store your cash/black money as an “item” in the furniture storage - This would cause the money to disappear when you withdrew it and then went to buy/sell something
New ID keybind
New feature - Press F9 and you will temporarily see the numeric server ID of everyone around you for 10 seconds. Any players talking will be highlighted. We hope this will help identify and make it easier to report players that are causing problems (Hopefully not needed but an unavoidable reality over time) We’re also hoping this will benefit RP in certain businesses and situations.
Fixed Holden Monaro issue getting in and out of car, and changing vehicle model at a distance.
Fixed BMW E30 M3 (Drift Spec) disappearing at a distance.
Fixed Mazda RX3 disappearing at a distance.

Vehicle Sales
You can now purchase Car Sales Contracts from the Mechanic Shops at JoJo’s Automotive and JJ’s Autobody.
These can be purchased for $20k and will allow you to sell your vehicle to someone else for whatever price you like.
Gone are the days where you’d spend $500k to buy a car, and then another $500k to do it up, only to then trade it in at PDM a week later for 70% of the vehicle’s original value. You can now use the dedicated #car-sales channel in Discord to advertise your hotted up ride, and then use a Car Sales Contract to complete the trade. Or perhaps you’re purchasing some vehicles for employees, or just want to surprise your mate for their birthday.
You can also sell the vehicle for $0, allow you to “gift” vehicles to those that are worthy.
Once the Car Sales contract has been signed by both the seller and the buyer, the funds (if higher than $0) will be deducted from the buyer’s bank account and automatically transferred to the seller’s bank account. No need to fiddle around with invoices or handing over cash.
Check out the video for a rundown on how to sell your vehicle, and how to have a vehicle sold to you. https://youtu.be/WK6j9NLjwDQ

What’s the catch : During the Halloween Event, a few members of Staff will be hunting everyone down, YES … hunting you down. They will shoot to kill if you are spotted. But don’t be disheartened, this doesn’t mean you’re out of the event. You can respawn at Sandy Shores Hospital and continue in the event. Staff will not be “camping” the hospital, they’ll be out and about hunting you all down. They will also be doing this the old-fashioned way with a Pistol and maybe a car/bike.
Can I dress up : Absolutely. You are more than welcome to create a Halloween outfit for the event. Staff will be wearing some funky outfits too.
Keep an eye out for advertisements in city for the event starting time, you’re welcome to get situated in Sandy Shores prior to the event but you won’t be able to find any Random Strangers until the event begins. When the event is finished, another advertisement will be put up in the city, so we can all meet back up outside Sandy Shores Hospital and start counting how many Halloween Candies everyone was able to find.
