Weâre always trying to increase immersion for you all, and youâve probably noticed me doing some testing with idle/afk animations in the city the past few days. After some testing (and some FiveM research), weâve been able to properly replace the passive idle animations for you all!
On top of that, weâve introduced a new idle/afk check for players, which will put you into two different states:
Idle: Characters will play various idle animations after** 5 minutes** of being AFK. This should let you know that someone has been afk for 5 minutes.
Sleep: Tested with regular sleep animations, we found people thought they were dead when coming back to their characters. Weâve changed it so that after 10 minutes your character dozes off while standing in place.
Check out a video of the new idle animations for men + the new sleep animation.
70+ emotes have been added as well, which include dances, idle animations, and more!
I want to take a moment to thank everyone in the Popcorn RP community for testing and helping choose the emotes and animations for the idle script, and rpemotes, which weâre happy to maintain for the greater FiveM community!

As youâve seen in #creative, weâre hard at work creating new pets for both for supporters and the community to enjoy! Weâve been hard at work producing more pets and lined up some models for release over the next few months. Weâre also looking to update the pet menu slowly, so keep your eyes on change log for those changes.
Weâve completed:
Standard Poodle
Newfie
American Bully
Yorkie
And in the near future we plan to release:
Samoyed
Shar-pei
Boxer
Brittany Spaniel
Airedale Terrier
Are you interested in requesting a specific dog? Diamond supporters can do that as well! To buy pets, stop by the pet store at Postal 930.
Weâve heard your complaints about stability and performance in the past few weeks, and investigated what may be causing those issues. Weâve identified a couple of things that need improvement: Resources, Vehicles, and Clothing.
Resources: Weâve been working on refactoring, and improving resource performance, this is always an ongoing thing, so weâll be giving you updates as we continue to work on them. You might have noticed some hick-ups yesterday/today, but this should have improved things generally for everyone now that weâve gotten them out of the way.
Vehicles: Weâre currently working on improving these, and itâll be done slowly over this week. This one wonât be as noticeable, but weâre working on optimizing certain textures so improvement is improved.
Clothing: Iâve gone through every single clothing item and fixed and optimized their models and textures as best we could. This includes fixes to texture compression, and modification to textures. A lot of fixes to LSPD clothing which should significantly improve performance for people wearing or near someone with LSPD clothing.
Hoping these changes improve your experience, and as always looking for your feedback everyone!
Over the past few weeks weâve optimized Clothing and Vehicles. Additionally, while going through assets, it seems that weapons were unnecessarilly large files, and in some instances may have cause issues. Weâve gone ahead and optimized all textures for every weapon.
Let us know if you experience any other issues, but weâre slowly moving through things and improving textures where we can.
Are you tired of the crazy burnouts you experience every time you drive away from a stop? Weâve introduced new âburnout preventionâ by holding your left shift key!
This applies to all vehicles, so if youâd like to slowly drive off, or control your RPMs at low speeds, just hold shift. RPM control will end at 25 MPH, so if youâre using a motorcycle, you can hold shift for the minor speed boost youâre used to after you get going.
This should make all those muscle cars and drifty vehicles a lot more usable in the future. Check out the video to see the before-and-after with the Nightshade, one of the most drifty/burnout-prone vehicles in GTA 5.
Weâve pushed a totally revamped Grapeseed, and thanks to our partners were able to get it in a more workable state, and release it to the wider FiveM Communty!
Check out the video tour!
Popcorn RP is pushing new releases periodically, and continues to create, publish, and support some of the best content on FiveM! Join us to experience these releases before everyone else, or check them out below!
Weâve been working quietly on bringing new users a tutorial, and updating the starting look of players and itâs now ready for release.
Weâve taken your feedback into account, and weâll be giving players the option to take the tutorial before character creation.
This has two benefits: it gives users a chance to get information before hopping into character creation and gives new users time to load things around the city. You can still access it in city hall, so check it out there!
Additionally, the default spawn characters have been updated to give them a more natural look rather than the weird default bobblehead appearance. Weâve additionally updated the default female model on startup, starting with a more feminine base look, and added additional enhancements like blush and lipstick by default to give starting characters more of a life-like look.
We know that people metagaming and telling their friends their location has always been an issue, and weâve introduced new functionality for handcuffs @everyone. Now, when someone is handcuffed, their Hud will be hidden.
Youâll temporarily see your health, hunger, and thirst, so if youâve kidnapped or arrested someone make sure you know that theyâre in a good state! (weâll be introducing audio queues soon)
Even if someone says their location, theyâll need to actually memorize and know their surroundings. :popcornlogo:
Additional Fixes:
Prevent people crawling while being carried
7 new emotes added
Drug Sales improved, NPCs now steal correct amount of drugs
Did you know that Popcorn RP maintains rpemotes-reborn alongside the original rpemotes developers?
Weâre happy to announce that 1.7.2 of rpemotes-reborn is out now, and weâre grateful for all the testing and feedback our community gives to help make rpemotes-reborn the best emote system (and more!) in FiveM!
Interested in experiencing all the great releases popcorn rp makes before anyone else? Join today!
Thanks to everyone who was in the event last night and congrats to all the winners! Weâre happy to officially release street racing, with cash wagers!
Open your radial menu (usually F1) and access it right from the menu, make sure you place the marker on the map ahead of the race and everyone in the area will be notified by a blip on the map.
Itâs all or nothing, so make sure youâre willing to risk it!
Hereâs a short compilation of last nights races!
Weâve totally redone vehicle keys from the ground up. That means easier transfer of keys, keys that stay with you even if you disconnect crash, fix robbing of peds of their keys, more realistic handling of vehicles without doors, and so much more.
I wanted to highlight an upcoming feature which may take time for you to get used it, but going forward in the new vehicle keys update, motorcycles, boats, ATVs, and any other vehicles with no doors will no longer have invisible doors that can be locked.
You will still need to lock pick them to get keys! But anything that doesnât have a door, will be much easier to access. More details on vehicle keys soon!
As we get ready to roll out vehicle keys, tire clamps are now available for LSPD to use (and lose?) with removal/clamp lockpicks available to LSPD and through world crafting!
Figured Iâd make a small guide/tutorial showing off the features of our street races! As always, weâve given you multiple ways to create and start races, so use radial or you can use /createrace /startrace, etc.
After long last TVs have been fixed and synced! Whether you leave the area for a short period, or someone comes by, TVs now sync entirely with no issues!
The new update improves performance, improves the location of the interaction menu, and lowers the visible distance for the menu, so there will be no more annoying circle if youâre farther than 2 meters away from the TV!
They still have the same great features as before, including broadcasting to other TVs and using Google docs and the web browser with other players so you can make presentations or run trainings!
