Changelog

All notable changes to vs-impoundjob. Newest first.

1.0.0 (2026-11-01)

Initial release.

• Police forced removals. /requesttow, or the target option on any car. A request screen lists the yards that can collect it, with who would answer and a reason. Routing follows drawn call areas.
• A scripted NPC tow truck that drives in, reverses onto the car, hooks it with the real tow arm, and drives off. A watchdog guarantees the impound completes.
• Four lot modes: NPC Staffed, Player Staffed, Auto Staffed, and Public Job, switchable at any time without losing a placed point.
• In-game Creator (/impoundcreator).
  • Places every point, picks existing gates, and lays rows of yard bays.
  • Draws call areas on a map, styles blips, and captures a uniform from the admin's own clothes.
  • Edits every runtime setting, server-wide or per lot.
• A visible yard. Impounded cars stand in their bays in their own paint, wheels, lights, and extras. Unowned cars age out.
• Release fees. A base fee, per-class prices, and an optional late charge with a grace period and a cap, quoted identically on every screen.
• A player-run business.
  • Each staffed lot gets its own framework job (Yard Clerk, Tow Driver, Boss) on ESX, QBCore, and Qbox.
  • A duty clock.
  • A staff terminal with invoices, releases, and the dispatch board.
  • A boss terminal: overview, finances, prices, yard, fleet, stock, accreditation, staff.
  • A store room, a changing room, and optional lot-paid wages.
• Fleet with wear. Trucks lose condition per shift, per tow, and by crash damage. They rust as they wear, and repairs and sell-back are priced by condition. Heavy trucks unlock through accreditation.
• The flatbed3 recovery truck, streamed with the script. A sliding, tilting deck, twin winch cables hooked at the bumper, and wheel chocks.
• The Public Job tow depot. No whitelist, two clocks per call, eight special call types, a five-level reputation ladder with suspension, and a four-rung truck ladder. Earnings survive restarts.
• Assistance calls. Any player can call the nearest staffed yard out to them.
• Traffic cones, placed singly or in rows and picked back up.
• Server-authoritative and persistent. Money, roles, duty, and distances are checked on the server. Data lives in 12 MySQL tables, created automatically.
• Exports: ImpoundVehicle, GetLots, and more for other resources.
• Localised through locales/.
