Locksmith

New

• 110 ready job spots: the package comes with 52 house, 40 vehicle and 18 business spots in data/locations.json. When updating, keep your own copy of this file.
• Service van: rent a company van at the HQ (level 2+, rent and a refundable deposit). It has a mobile workshop, a key cutting machine and gives a customer bonus. Set the HQ van spot.
• Tool fetching and tool cabinet: basic tools are always on you; advanced tools stay in the van or the HQ tool locker. You take them from a pegboard cabinet UI with an animation and a prop in hand. The wrong tool in hand means the work cannot start (Config.ServiceVan.ToolFetch).
• Apprentice training: a guided first job at the HQ training door, with an on-screen checklist and a mentor. It is safe and pays a one-time reward (Config.Tutorial, HQ tutorial spot, /lstutorial).
• Companies: player-founded firms with 5 ranks and permissions. Each member job pays a commission into the company bank. Also: bonuses, a bank history, company levels and reputation, weekly company contracts, a shared tool depot and a company van fleet. Managed in the tablet's Company section (Config.Company, /locksmithcompany).
• Location tool (/lslocations): a new panel with a map, a list with distances, spot counts and warnings for missing spot types. The world view shows a ghost of the customer's car and the customer NPC, so you see where they will spawn (/lslocations view). Live placement preview, blips, edit, move to your position and test calls (Config.LocationTool).
• Black market: a fence at night and an encrypted Channel in the tablet. Four illegal job types: vehicle order, break-in, safe job and copy key. Payment is cash at a drop point. Heat, witness calls to the real police, licence record strikes and a minimum number of officers online (Config.BlackMarket).
• Incoming call card: automatic calls arrive on a pager with a printed work order: address and district, lock, difficulty, live distance with a direction arrow, customer, estimate and a countdown. Answer with the accept / decline keys while driving (no mouse focus).
• HQ clerk NPC: all HQ options are on a clerk at the counter (ped in the HQ entry of Config.Locations).
• Shared customers: the customer NPC is networked, so other players and the police see the same person (Config.Jobs.NetworkedCustomer).
• Black market spots in the location tool: a Black market tab records cars to steal, break-in doors, safe spots and drop points (Config.BlackMarket.Spots).
• Cleaner HQ: the HQ now shows only the terminal and the physical actions. The job board, skills, career, workshop and licence are in the terminal (Config.UI.CompactHQ). The training option disappears once the training is done.

Fixes and hardening

• Admin check: on servers where the ACE check answers 0 for "no", non-admins were treated as admins. Fixed.
• Tutorial:
  • A training job can no longer end up on the public job board.
  • Taking a real job ends the training cleanly.
  • Real calls stay away during the training.
  • The reward goes only to the apprentice it was built for.
• The job tick is safe against jobs without an expiry time.
• Tools:
  • You cannot swap tools in the middle of the lock work.
  • The tool in hand is cleared on a character switch.
  • A borrowed company tool only works while you are still a member.
• Service van:
  • It is identified by its state bag, so a reused network id never points to another car.
  • It is not culled when nobody is near.
  • A player who drops during the spawn wait gets no orphan van.
• Companies:
  • A self-bonus needs the bank permission.
  • Company vans need the new fleet permission (Senior Locksmith and up).
  • Closing a company is atomic, so no deposit or commission is lost.
  • Payouts are credited back when the receiver left during the database write.
  • Actions run one at a time per player.
  • Complaints now lower company reputation.
• Black market:
  • A delivered car must really be the job car.
  • A witness call always reaches the police, even right after an alarm.
  • Jobs waiting at the spot now expire.
  • Dialogue and paperwork actions are blocked on these jobs.
  • Police approval of such a job gives no reputation.
