New Battlepass! This December, with Nuko's help, we're launching a new seasonal Battlepass with upgraded, balanced and more rewarding challenges! Complete all daily missions to unlock a brand new weapon font and earn 1 event token!. This is a new type of booster which can be activated any time by the player. Token is just an activator. Boosts can be selected at left side of the panel. Read descriptions and then confirm your decision. Click here to see the panel. As soon as you activate the booster you will see a timer at down side of your screen. You have an hour to use your bonus. Reconnecting, disconnecting or traditional x3 XP hours in server will pause your booster, no worries about it.
Guaranteed gifts! Everyday, under the server's main Christmas tree in Los Santos and at Heist's Cabin interior in the forest, you will be able to find at least 1 guaranteed gift box / reward there. Tree's the spawn times are random, so visit that place regularly to make sure you don't miss your gift! Heist's Cabin has a timer and you can get your reward only once per day.
Rulebreaker elfs! It is a new custom created mini-scenes which can be seen in the South, West and South-West areas of San Andreas. No need to complete any challenge. You just need to catch these moments, take a picture of it and report on forum, here - to get paid. These scenes are made to add some holiday mood in server, bring RP and give you a smile on your face. Have a wonderful day!
Car dealer! This new activity is available only during Xmas period. You just need to deliver a truck with full of gifts to Santa's garage! The vehicle will spawn randomly and will show up on your radar with an unique blip. Go there, enter the vehicle and deliver it to the finish checkpoint to earn extra money!
Holiday tasks! The traditional Prototype event tasks are back! The rules are simple: complete the task, take a screenshot for evidence and post it here on the forum to earn points. Later you can unlock set of rewards with those points! Take a look at catelogue and let us know what do you want as a reward. Don't forget to mention your acc name somewhere so we can award you.
Unknown addresses! Santa gets letters from kids asking for gifts and they need to write their addresses correctly. But some kids don't get it! They simply take a picture of their house from the outside and sometimes that's not enough to know their exact location. We'll show some of these letters here and your mission is to figure out where the picture belongs and let us know. You can find all the pictures but you have to wait at least 5 hours between posting new locations.
Happy questions! Make sure the QUIZ option is enabled in your /settings in-game! Throughout December there will be many questions related to everything in the game. Each correct answer will earn you random resources or cash rewards!
Unlock holiday skins! We'll open a poll topic where you can vote for 2 permanent skins. The winning skins will be added to your account at the end of the event! To participate all you need to do is take part in any activity during the event period. Don't forget to note your account name!
Hidden gift boxes! Every single day, at a random time you'll be able to find special gift boxes hidden around the game. Pick them up to earn extra money or random resources.

Battlepass
The '/battlepass' window now has Christmas decorations, an updated window name, colors and reward images during Christmas.
The '/battlepass' window now displays the maximum available level you can obtain, instead of only showing your current level.
When opening '/battlepass' it will jump to your current level instead of 1.
Resolved level issues such as starting at level 1 instead of 0, causing you to get day 2 rewards when completing day 1 challenges.
Rewards in '/battlepass' have been balanced and increase fairly over time.
The '/seasonalstats' window has been made bigger in size.
Increased window transparency of '/seasonalstats' and '/seasons'.
Fixed the drop-down-menu from '/seasonalstats' not being large enough for tabs such as miscellaneous.
The '/battlepass' window now displays end of season date.
More challenges have been added to '/challenges':
Civilians: Butcher, City Engineer, Electrician and Crane Operator jobs.
Criminals: Illegal Trucker, Drug Trafficking, Freeway Drug Trafficking and Car Theft missions.
Law: Bomb Disposal, Traffic Officer and Police Detective missions.
When choosing or changing a side using '/challenges change', a notification sound will be played.
Weapon Skins
Added a new 'Preview' button to '/weaponskin'.
The preview button in '/weaponskin' will now copy your current R G B instead of plain white.
The '<-- Preview' text has been changed to 'Player B' when clicking on the preview button.
Weapon skins that you can unlock in-game will now be immediately loaded in '/weaponskin' without having to reconnect back to the server.
A new token system has been implemented. Tokens will allow players to consume bonuses of their liking for a specific amount of time. View bonuses and their description using '/tokens'.
Active tokens will now be saved to your account when you quit. This will cause the token to re-activate on your next login.
If a token is being consumed and conflicts with a server event, such as 'Triple XP', the token will be paused until the event ends.
The '/tokens' window can be used to redeem tokens followed by entering a code.
Tokens cannot be bought or sold, they are unlocked by doing server activities.
Other
Made items that are not meant to be sold still visible inside of 'Inventory and Crafting Interface'.
Christmas Cabin heist property will be available to everyone during Christmas. You can find daily gifts in this cabin as well as other player owned properties.
Find randomly located custom mini-scenes in the South, West and South-West areas of San Andreas. Catch rare & interesting moments where Santa's helpers (aka Elfs) are being caught or chased by the cops. Take a picture and post it here. Each scene can be reported only once. You can post more than one screenshot but you have to wait at least 5 hours between your reports. Reward is 300,000$ per scene.
Santa gets letters from kids asking for gifts and they need to write their addresses correctly. But some kids don't get it!

Nowadays, players can earn oil, drugs, cash, and ammunition in LV, but one resource that is heavily used and constantly purchased directly from the server—not from other players—is Iron.
Inspired from previous suggestion that was a little more complicated and no more open, I decided to suggest to treat this building (turf) as office of iron miner and warehouse, and make it pay iron instead of cash as it is the closest building to iron miner area.
What you've all been complaining about, the de-sync on mapped objects, is now fixed!
I thought that a bug fix that's only in MTA 1.7 will fix this, I was testing MTA 1.7 with Metall yesterday and luckily he showed me a great place to reproduce the bug and to my disappointment the desync was still present.
So today I have been debugging the cause of this de-sync and noticed that it's a feature called 'bandwidth reduction' (which we have used for 10+ years) which saves bandwidth by not sending all the data about players that are not in your field of view. However for some reason, sometimes a player on a mapped object is being classed as not in your field of view and so most of the sync data is being skipped, which is what was causing this horrible de-sync.
So I have changed this from 'maximum' to 'none' which now means that you receive full sync packets for all players within streaming distance. This does double bandwidth usage, but I think it's worth it because of how much y'all were complaining about this de-sync.
I will be reporting this bug to the MTA team so hopefully maybe it can be fixed and we can go back to saving bandwidth.
Simple and straightforward. Sprinting inside DS doesn't make any sense as it's disabled in both ARs and CEs, and since DS is classified as a CE I believe sprinting inside has no place. The reason I'm suggesting this because people basically escape fights easily and it makes the fights endless. Not to mention slipping off the ship and falling into the water after then you won't be able to get back to the ship because for some reason it moves faster than swimming.
