Major Release (v2.9.1) - Early September 2020

Today the development team is proud to announce the release of the newest version of All Day Role Play to the Live community. Everyone on the team has been working tirelessly on getting this stuff ready for release, and we finally believe we are ready to showcase and release these changes to the community.

Foreword

Before we delve into the specific notes of this update, we just want to take the time to let the community know that we appreciate your utmost patience in waiting for this update to release, we know this update cycle has been a little slower than previous ones and we were just as anxious as you guys to get it out.

A Quick Note from Taso - Skip this if you think I’m boring

If some of you aren’t aware, I was added to the development team around two months ago now, right around the time the team began to work on all of these changes for you. I started at square one with a codebase of nearly 2 million lines of code and no experience developing for the FiveM platform. But, using my past experience as a Fullstack developer as well as utilizing @Chief-Tron’s excellent experience when needed, I’ve since grown extremely comfortable with developing for this platform. I hope some of the changes coming with this update reflect some of the aspects I can bring to the table.

Now on to the update

Big New Features

ADRP Radio

This update brings a totally custom made radio resource made to replace the old radio system present on the server. The new radio system now allows you to change the volume of players on your radio station while preserving the volume of players around you.

How’s It Used?

The new radio resource operates almost exactly the same as the previous one with a few key differences. You can use the command method or the keybind method.

Command
/radio ~ Toggles the HUD if you have a radio in your inventory

Keybind
Shift + F2 ~ Also toggles the HUD

Inventory HUD

One of the most limiting factors to the overall player experience in previous versions of ADRP has always been the lack of a solid GUI/HUD interface for the inventory system. This changes with this iteration of ADRP as we are introducing a custom inventory system that replaces the old inventory in its entirety. In fact, you will not be able to enter your inventory through the K menu as before. Considering how new this custom resource is and the method in which it operates. We will require as much feedback as possible from the player base to ensure the best experience for our players.

How’s It Used?

By default, you will be able to open the new inventory system by pressing the I key by default on the keyboard. This is actually rebindable at the player’s discretion, which is a new feature we have been rework into old resources. I’ll go into more detail with this change in the next section.

Keybind Changes

Starting with this update, we will begin to recode some of our existing resources to start accepting custom keybinds rather than ones explicitly set by us in the code. This allows for any of the new recoded resources to be easily customized by visiting Settings → Keybindings → FiveM and changing the defaults as listed here.

Phone -> The default has been rebound to "O" as in Orange
Inventory-> The default has been rebound to "I" as in India

How Many Resources Have Changed To This New System?

At the moment only two major resources have been switched to this system with a third police resource (radar) also available for the PD to customize as they see fit. The conversion of some resources to this method is on our To Do list but, we wanted to make sure we got it out for the two most important resources in our eyes.

An Updated Phone

This update brings some major changes to both the styling and some of the behind the scenes operation of how our phone resource works.

So, What Has Changed?

Basically every aspect of the phone’s overall styling has been overhauled and changed to bring it up to date with a more modern design language. As well as a styling overhaul, there are also a couple new features that have been added to this version of our phone.

New Feature: Photo
We have added the ability to send and receive photos in the Messages app that utilizes your own screen to send a picture of whatever you wish. To take a photo, simply right-click the input box (where it says “Send a message”) and follow the instructions shown on screen.

New Feature: GPS Locations
In addition to the photo feature, we have also enabled the ability to send GPS coordinates through the messages app as well. This allows you to send a GPS coordinate, that when clicked, sets your GPS to calculate a route to that location. This is activated in the same manner as the Photo.

Boring Tech Stuff If That Interests You

The backend of the phone is currently being overhauled and changed to allow for a plethora of new custom apps that aims to both change and improve current mechanics to better fit within the scope of RP realism. With the new backend system, the phone receives and stores a lot more data regarding the player state. Allowing for the integration of Apps like a Real Estate app, a White Pages app, and more.

The implementation of this system revolves around several technologies vue, vuex, and vue-router. If you ever have an interest in helping the project and the community and have past experience in Web Development (it doesn’t have to be Vue, experience in React is enough to get you started). @TasoAGC would be happy to see if you could help with the team. Let us know!

A UI Refresh

With the addition of myself (Taso) to the team, I hope to utilize some of my better Front-End design skills to our team’s skillset. This has resulted in starting the process of a massive overhaul of various UI elements to match our overall standard design language. Here are some of the UI elements that are coming with the new update.

A New Loading Screen

Another major element that is changing is the addition of the new loading screen as pictured below.

We are also taking this chance to push the completed redesign of our website

So How Do These Changes Affect You?

One thing you may start to notice is changes for the notification system that attempt to migrate to a cleaner and more modern style. One of these new standard notification systems is a custom notification system put together by @TasoAGC that is slowly being integrated into more and more of our scripts.

You may also begin to see the transition of certain UI elements to match our new standard style. We eventually want to convert everything but this may take quite some time considering the number of elements.

A New Housing and Furniture System

This update brings with it a totally new furniture system that allows for advanced placement of furniture items in conjunction with the new housing system that was also introduced during this update. This housing system operates totally independently of the housing system you may have been familiar with in previous versions of ADRP.

Below you can find a list of the new houses that were added and which are also compatible with the new furniture system.

/furniture OR /furni

This will open the UI for the furniture system, from there it should be fairly self-explanatory.

What’s Up Next

Of course, our first priority will be addressing any bugs that may come up in production during this update but, here’s a look at what we are focusing on for future updates.

Multiple Characters and Character Slots

We are attempting to tweak our current system, with minimal changes, to allow for the introduction of character slots and more than one character. Due to the nature of our backend framework, this could actually be incredibly difficult to implement. We have an idea for accomplishing this but it will require immense testing with the current codebase. But, the easy part of this is creating the front end so @TasoAGC has done that. Here’s a preview:

Radial Menu

With upcoming updates we will be trying to shift away as much as possible from use of the K menu. This functionality will be transferred to a plethora of planned new scripts but these changes will take further time and testing. One of the ways we plan to move some of these options is through the use of a new radial menu. @TasoAGC has started working on implementing this new system. One of the first things to have been ported was the attitudes section. Here’s a short WIP look.
