    it was fixed a few updates ago but was reverted when a bug was found. You don't need to press Y to unfreeze yourself, it does that by itself which it shouldn't.

    It should auto unfreeze after 30sec

  2. Okay I am going to lock this as speeding up the time or two cycles a day is not something we are interested in. And neither does the community it seems. As that indeed would break immersion and make it confusing when an event is planned.

     

    As I mentioned in one of my previous comments we are already looking into making the nights a little shorter VISUAL WISE so the effects just start later. In real the summer nights are also way shorter than in the winter. This will NOT affect the time or dates just the visual effects of nighttime.

    So you saying the change is possible and it won't cause many issues /time/ wise?

    It wont cause ANY time issues. Its pure visual.

     

    6PM will still be 6PM just no sundown

    11PM will still be 11 PM and will start sundown. Etc.

    nope unless it affects the actual day/time as well, such as jail times 

    Elaborate on this? Why would it need to speed up the jail times?

     

    We will just have to pretend LS has shorter nights, we pretend alot of things.. Nothing IC is changed.

    Changing the night cycle wont affect the times, dates or what so ever.

     

    It basically means the following:

    Sundown starts around 10-11PM

    Fully dark around 0AM

    Sunset starts around 4-5AM.

     

    So you get longer daytime, shorter nighttime.

    Features

    Track Parcel

    Use /traceparcel to see your shipment status.

     

    Parcel Updates

    You get parcel updates when you send a parcel, but if the sender filled out your phone number you as receiver also receive updates.

     

    Express Delivery

    Do you need to ship an urgent parcel? You can choose to pay extra cash and get it guaranteed delivered within 24hours!

    NPC Deliveries

    If a parcel has been 'pending shipment' for 72 hours (normal parcels) or 24 hours (express parcels), the script will check every 30 minutes if a parcel is due for an NPC delivery. Meaning it will get delivered either way even if no actual player has chosen to do the Mailman job run.

     


    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

     

    1. What happens if I crash while accepted a parcel to deliver?
      • The parcel gets put back into the postal office so another player can delivery it.
    2. Can I steal parcels when I accepted a parcel run?
      • No you cannot.
    3. What happens if my parcel is in the middle of the ocean?
      • Use /skipparcel, it is most likely a debug house which was accidentally picked.
    4. The job I accepted is way too far, I want to cancel it!
      • Use /skipparcel.
    5. Can I ship the parcel to a fake name?
      • Yes the name you enter is not being checked, if you want your parcel receiver to receive SMS updates the number must be valid.
    6. Can I ship drugs or weapons?
      • Yes but like in real life parcels are checked randomly by drugs/gun canines, there's a chance your drugs/weapon parcel gets spotted and seized.
    7. What happens if nobody ships parcels, will the list be empty and I cannot do my job?
      • The server makes sure there are at least 15 parcels every time, meaning if there's 5 player shipped parcels, there will be 10 NPC parcels.

    We need to give stores more reasons to open up, not fewer reasons. If this really has to go this way, then make it another type of store. With mail boxes being worked on, let players open up an Amazon-type of store where people can order online and have things physically delivered to their mail boxes.

    Yes that is true. But even then, we dont have a store for everything. And There are shops out there that offer online shopping but you still are required to come by when they open to pick it up. 

     

    I will look into the mailman status.
