It's been a while since the last update. This patch brings in more stability fixes along with a brand new C.O.C.K. packet verification module.

This module analyses all packets sent between the server and player to ensure all data is not modified or altered. This new module works inline with our recently upgraded firewall and a custom API solution which lets the firewall talk to the game script and uses peripheral tools to analyse packets. The firewall can intercept incoming and outgoing packets and alter them to be correct.

Change logs:
- Updated command processor
- Updated data format processor
- Updated crash and debug loggers
- Updated YSI and AMX Assembly handlers
- Added new C.O.C.K. packet verification module

Dear Lawless Roleplay,

Let me explain...

There have been multiple rumours over the past couple of months that Lawless Roleplay is closing down, dying or been abandoned by the management team.

The truth is I have been going through a really tough time in real life and just like you and everyone else, I too am human. In full honesty, I have been having a lot of problems in real life and on Lawless Roleplay. Though, instead of resolving these problems, I have been hiding from it, hoping it would all go away. However, you can only hide from something for so long before it catches up to you.

I love Lawless Roleplay and I love our community. I have made so many friends, learnt so many interesting things about different people, cultures and different countries. I have been able to use Lawless Roleplay as a platform to have fun with friends and random people all over the world. It's truly beautiful. And I honesty believe that Lawless Roleplay offers the best gameplay experience on SA:MP. I would never give up on Lawless Roleplay because of this.

This is why I am asking for your forgiveness regarding my inactivity and lack of action. I want to fix all the problems on Lawless Roleplay however I am just one guy with limited time and energy.

I understand that many of you think that you just "play" Lawless Roleplay but in my eyes you are more than just "players". As members of this community, I see you as partners of Lawless Roleplay. You are apart of this community and every second you have played here, you have helped shape and create it. So this is why I am here standing in front of you.. asking you to help me.. to help us get Lawless Roleplay back to it's glorious position at the top of SA:MP. Without your support and loyalty, I cannot improve this. I need you.

I will give everything I have and I will work very closely with the players and staff team to improve Lawless Roleplay. As long as I have your support and loyalty, Lawless Roleplay will never die.

The first thing you can do to help improve Lawless Roleplay is to fill out this survey (click here). This survey will help me capture all of your opinions and suggestions on how to improve Lawless Roleplay. I use this as a template on problems that need solving so it's important that you answer the survey.

In light of recent events, I have reinstated Joey as Assistant Management and Toompert as Management. Their roles will be mostly in-game focused and they will be aiming to solve problems directly in-game on the spot. Additionally, Jerome has been promoted to Assistant Management and will be continuing his work as Game Affairs director. Alfred has also been promoted to Head Admin and assigned as Director of Admin Personnel. Finally, I am working very closely with Adam on upgrading the anti-cheat to protect against a lot more hacks and to be more accurate.

This is only the beginning.

Signed,
Barney.

Greetings from the Hacking Investigation Team,

It has come to our notice that many players are inclined to modify their gameplay for a unique gaming experience. Modifying your gameplay has certain risks involved and we advise precaution while doing so.

One such modification is of the ped.ifp. As of 26 July 2018, we are formally announcing that modification of ped.ifp which leads to faster animations or 'sliding' in other players' screens is illegal. You are informed to remove any such modifications immediately if you have installed them. Checking of your animation is the responsibility of the installer and as such you are risking unnecessary hassle by doing so.

Players caught breaking this rule will be punished with a Hack Warning, similar to using any advantageous illegal modification.

Hope this helps clear any lingering doubts.

Summer is still going strong and why not celebrate this beautiful season with something special? Our mission is to bring joy to our community and keep you satisfied. We are delighted to announce that we are bringing you a new, exciting series of events full of fun and chance to spend quality time with your best mates!

After few adjustments, we are delighted to bring back the triathlon event in a new, unique way!

Triathlon is a multiple-stage competition involving the completion of three continuous and sequential endurance disciplines:

• Swimming
• Cycling
• Running

• Trolling is strictly prohibited
• Using a shortcut or finding a loophole from the event will lead into disqualification

I'm sure most of you are aware of this event. You will have a chance to test your skills by trying to avoid a high speed jet coming towards you. If you manage to avoid the jet and be the last-man-standing, you win a prize!



Much requested survival event is back! This event is based on multiple games known as Battle Royale. The goal is to find weapons and eliminate all the other opponents.

• All the drugs and weapons will be taken away. Everyone will receive a parachute
• Equipment is randomly scattered around the map, you have to find weapons and eliminate all the other opponents and be the last-man-standing!
• When you reach a certain point, you will receive drugs from an administrator for healing purposes
• Bare in mind, the more powerful the equipment is, the more difficult it is to find it

The event will take place at the Bayside. You can land to your desired location by using your parachute.

• Teaming is allowed, however you can only team in duos (2 players), anyone caught having a larger group will be removed from the event
• Participants are not allowed to use animations

One of the growing problems we have is the placement and construction of lands. Recently there has been a huge public outcry to remove the land system and remove the eye sore that has been created inside of Los Santos. We have even suspended the selling of lands and land moves until we are able to resolve this issue.

Lands are an extremely beautiful thing and it is one of those unique features that makes us stand out as the gold standard server. However, they have not been looked after by both the staff team and the land owners and as a result, instead of showcasing the server as the gold standard, it is instead making the server look cosmetically ugly.

I strongly believe in the good that the land system can bring to Lawless Roleplay which is why I am against it being deleted. I strongly believe the way to resolve this issue is for the staff team, land owners and the community work together to resolve these issues as a collective. Our only objective here is stability and longevity.

Property Disputes
The community can now report any property violating the rules. The Department of Properties will review the dispute and then pursue it with the property owner on behalf of the server. This is not the same as a forum complaint but instead a reporting mechanism of bad property owners.

Once a player reports a property for violating the rules, property moderators will then review it and if valid, they will attempt to resolve it with the property owner via the Property Dispute Resolution Center. Other players are not able to see property disputes however everyone can see the property dispute resolution center for transparency.

Land Placement and Building Regulations
The placement and building regulations have been reviewed for lands. It is much more clear and less ambiguous. We follow these rules strictly and there is no deals or exemptions under any circumstances. These rules are black and white. If you find any property violating these rules please report the property via a Property Dispute form.

• We measure the distance of locations by the running distance of skin ID 0 (1 running step = 1 yard)
• Lands need to be in a realistic location. In real life, a developer could buy that land to begin construction
• Lands must be placed on empty ground with no existing structure there already (This does not include vegetation unless there is a lot of vegetation there)
• Lands must be 50 yards away from turf boundaries, jobs, server mapping, faction head quarters and any point of interest (ie. malls)
• Lands must not cover or block roads, shortcuts, routes, parking, sidewalks or any public property
• Lands must not cover or block other people's property or access to it
• Lands must be at least 30 yards away from other lands
• Lands must be on the ground
• There can only be 3 lands visible in the minimap including the proposed land location

• Lands must be built in a realistic manner and follow the laws of physics. (ie. A staircase into the sky is not allowed, a building without adequate support etc)
• Lands must naturally fit into the local environment
• Garages/ Doors or moving objects must not be used as a supporting structure (ie. roof, wall or floor)
• Lands must not be an eyesore for players
• Lands must not cause nuisance for the general population

Please view the up to date land placement and building regulations here.

• We measure the distance of locations by the running distance of skin ID 0 (1 running step = 1 yard)
• Businesses must be in front of a realistic location (ie. exterior cannot be a house, a hill/ mountain)
• You cannot place this business on somebody else's property without direct permission. They are allowed to revoke this permission at any time and if the property has a new owner, they can also revoke the permission at anytime. Your business will be seized until you pay for a business move
• Business exteriors must be able to support the interior size
• Businesses placed on a land need to have a realistic exterior. Just a door is no longer allowed. It has to be an actual building
• Truckers must be able to access the the business door without hindrance
• Businesses cannot be placed on server mapping, faction head quarters, job buildings and any point of interest
• The same type of businesses cannot be placed within the range of 25 yards
• Businesses must be at least 200 yards away from the trucking job
• Business locations must not cause nuisance for the general population

Please view the up to date business regulations here.

These rules applies to all currently existing and future lands and businesses. In regards to what happens to them, we aim to resolve the matter with the owner so that both the server and the owner will be happy and satisfied with the resolution. Our aim here is not to punish owners but to work with them to create a better Lawless Roleplay.
