Glad to be back!  I already have a few things in the works for new content and quality of life.  Such as a new crash event that will randomly occur, new search menu and a blackjack script.  I will also see if I can help find anything that will help improve server performance.

I have been working on a new search menu.  One of the main reasons is it is hella annoying when you search someone and some jack wagon speeds in Kavala replacing the search menu with that message or any other stupid ass message that pops up.  Now you no longer have to worry!!!  Also, when a person has a shit ton of stuff/licenses it will no longer take up the entire right side of your screen.
I am also working on the ability to seize individual items.
Features:
  - Shows all licenses, illegal virtual items, and weapons/clothes/accessories the searched person has
  - Shows and seizes magazines inside a weapon
  - Shows the ammo inside a magazine
  - When a magazine is seized it now keeps the correct ammo when going into the vehicle
  - Shows all attachments to all weapons
  - Attempts to put items that aren't seized back in players inventory if player has space
  - Seize given number of selected physical items from a person including uniform and vest (if they are police) (and HOLY FUCK does BI make it  more complex than it needs to be to do that!!!!!)
  - If you seize uniform/vest and player doesn't have a backpack then give the player an assault pack and store uniform/vest items in it
  - Revoke individual licenses
  - Seize given number of selected virtual illegal item.
Version 1.0:
Additions:
  - Revoke individual licenses
  - Seize given number of selected illegal virtual item.
  - Shows value of illegal virtual items at the top of the menu
Version 0.75:
Additions:
  - Seize given number of selected physical items from a person including uniform and vest (if they are police) (and HOLY FUCK does BI make it  more complex than it needs to be to do that!!!!!)
  - If you seize uniform/vest then store uniform/vest items in backpack, but if the player doesn't have a backpack then give the player an assault pack and store uniform/vest items in it
Version 0.5:
Additions:
  - Shows and seizes magazines inside a weapon
  - Shows the ammo inside a magazine
  - When a magazine is seized it now keeps the correct ammo when going into the vehicle

I'll take a look at testing this in the morning when I get off work.

I would like to welcome @Pizza Man and @Destrah back to the role of contributor. I know they have some awesome stuff in store to bring us all!
 
Congrats!

I've been working on a random vehicle crash event and have made the bare bones of it and was wondering what everyone's opinion on it is.  Its mostly for police and medics to go and clean up the wrecked vehicles and tend to the injuries of the passenger(s) for a monetary reward.  There could possible be a civ/rebel function for it too.  If a civ/rebel rolls up on a crash site they could possibly repair and lock pick the vehicle to either chop it or use it.  Only police and medics would be notified of the crash though so it would be hard for a civ/rebel to find one.
The way this works is it picks a random location on the map, finds the nearest road, makes sure there is no player near the spot so the player doesn't crash into it, selects a random crash scene template and then notifies police and medics.
Just thought this would add a little content to medics and police (possibly civs/rebels).
Current Feature List:
- Animated NPCs around crash site (Probably need to work on this a bit more)
- Damaged vehicles
- Treated injured occupants of the vehicles
- Repair vehicles
- Ability to copy NPCs and Vehicles placed into EDEN editor for crash scene templates
- Notify police/medics of crash
- Impound Vehicles
Planned Features:
- NPCs that can bleed out
- Once crash site is cleaned up medics/cops are paid that were at scene:
  - Increase payment based on:
    - Initial distance from crash site
    - Time it takes to clean up crash site
    - If vehicles were repaired prior to impound
    - If you saved a NPC that was bleeding out
- Crash scenes with HEMMTs or other vehicles that have virtual inventory/actual inventory that can be robbed by Civs/Rebels
- OnStar headquarters that has a terminal that can be hacked to let all civilians know when a crash occurs
- Police capability to restore the terminal to remove civ access.

I guess this New Year's mood made me a bit inspired today, so I decided to share my story with you all - the ones that care enough to read it to the end. I don't mean to sound corny, it's really just about a legit experience with Asylum - and the people that play it - that indeed affected my real life in more than one way.   I started playing Asylum a bit before the hacking in 2015, but I took a considerable break because of personal reasons. I then returned in 2016, almost a year later I believe.   (For those of you who don't know it, I was born in Brazil and therefore my native language isn't English. It's Portuguese.)   One of the first things I did when I came back was apply again for the APD. Because I had a very limited level of English back then, I was very insecure about taking the interview and failing it, but things went good and I became a Cadet once again (had played a few weeks in 2015).   I made it to Constable after being helped a lot by @Mr. Linux and taking my ride-along with @Maxime, which was very easy-going about the English thing.   My first experiences were really funny. Whenever I arrested a toxic little prick, they would scream something like "Give me an English-speaking officer!" or "Do you even speak English?" and some other toxic stuff. My accent was weird (it's still somewhat noticeable) and I would 'stumble' over some words or mispronounce them with a certain higher frequency. However, it was still intelligible and I could make myself clear enough.   After playing for a few more months - let's say six or eight - was when my arrests and my experiences started changing. The toxic ones would now rarely mention the matter with my English. Now, whenever they said something, it probably involved the word 'pig' or similar. That's when I realized something else was changing: my Speaking was improving and that wouldn't have occurred to me if it wasn't by the toxic Asylum players. I guess I ironically owe them some thanks.   Few more months later and I took an exam called TOEFL - Test of English as a Foreign Language. It's required to non-native speakers of English especially if they wanna join a North American university or college. It isn't an easy test and it involves 4 abilities: reading, listening, speaking and writing. My score was 110 out of 120, whereas the university I was interested in only required a score of 65, if I'm not mistaken.   I still haven't joined any foreign universities or left the country, but that's still in my list of goals. At this moment I'm studying law in my country and I also got a job last semester. Surprisingly, I worked as a teacher. What did I teach? English.   I'm not perfect at the language and I'm still far from speaking it like a native speaker (I still make a bunch of mistakes), but the progress I achieved in such a short time was thanks to all the time I spent talking and interacting with Asylum players. I wouldn't have got such a high score on my English test if it wasn't by the community nor would I have gotten a job if it wasn't by the exam I took (I attached it to my résumé).   Of course that in the meantime I got closer to some people that would treat me very kindly. At the beginning of my APD 'career', I remember asking people to correct my English and make me sound more natural. It really helps. It carried on to Steam, Skype, Discord and even WhatsApp. Guys like @Nate!!!, @Midamaru, @explicit, @Chris Preuninger, @Olivia, @Morgan Lacerda, @Brendon Smith, @Alec-I, @InnateOcean, @Sandwich, @General Baked Potatoes, @GreenDemon, @Samperino and a *bunch * of others were always very understanding about it, and communicating with them was essential.   Besides getting an excellent grade on my test and getting a job after spending time on Asylum, I also made a lot of friends. From enjoying online game sessions to trading real-life advice (and I could quote Midamaru again), playing in this community allowed me to expand my knowledge and build strong friendships. This isn't a farewell post so I won't quote anyone else, but you know who you are.   Finally, I wanted to say that learning a new language is hard as fuck. It requires constant practice and a lot of patience. The ones who strive for perfection, like me, suffer a bit more, 'cause there's no magical formula to learn it all and learn it perfectly - especially Speaking, it sucks. If you find someone trying to learn or speak your language, give them some encouragement and help them when needed. Correcting he/she and giving tips is very important too (just don't be a dick about it).   Oh, and thanks @BaDaBiNg_10-8 and @Clint Beastwood for not letting the thing that brought me so many amazing experiences be buried under the ground. Wish you all the best in the new management!
