As always, we'll post changes as they happen on the SCP-RP Discord in #change-logs. This is a summary of this month's changes.
​

New Features/Changes

​

​

Winter Surface Update - Full changelog here​

Changes to the following areas:

• Surface with an entirely new chaos insurgency base, an overhaul of foundation compound, a new gas station and plenty more
• Light containment zone with new iunternal security interrogation area, new cells and jailer rooms and more

CG SCP PM Combined​

• Added new Chaos Insurgency playermodels. Full changelog Here.
• Added new SCP-457 model

VWar SCP​

• Players can now inject chemicals into SCPs
  • For those of you with questions, find out in character
• Allowed Injection into Breached but Pacified/Cuffed SCPs
  • This allows for Chem RP to be done with captured SCPs
• Altered behaviour when injecting an SCP with its own samples
  • I will not tell you what the new behaviour is. Find out IC
• Blocked Chem Injection for SCP-079
• Blocked Chem Injection when SCP-035 does not have a host
• Blocked Chem Injection for SCP-966 when it is invisible or the injecting player does not have NVGs active
• Replaced Secondary Sample for SCP-096: Calcium -> Contaminated Calcium
• Replaced Samples for all SCPs that give Human Blood with NEW: Toxic Blood

VWAR ​

• SCP 079 - Disabled Hume Distortion
  • Bro got meta'd like crazy by people running into his cell with a kant counter. Made zero sense
    
• You can now restock door charges at ammo stashes
• Reduced 3 million server hack requirement to 60 players (From 80)
• Snowball Scavenging - Visit Surface and Interact with any snowy part of the map to Scavenge a handful of snowballs! Merry Christmas everyone!
• Updated Health display to show damage states rather than exact hp - changelog here for a link to an example

VWAR Reality Bending​

• Escape Card - You must now have Line of Sight with each Selected target when activating the ability to swap with them. You will only Swap with players you have Line of Sight with upon activation of the ability.
  • This LOS check ignores other players, transparent map-features (windows, fences, etc), and yourself.

VJob Editor​

• A-1 and O-1 - Removed emblem on the back of models (I.S.D)
• Updated DEA job descriptions for the following jobs:
  • DEA Agent
  • DEA Operative
  • DEA Senior Agent
• Created flag: InjectHostileSCPs
  • Before, a jobs ability to inject SCPs with chems was linked to its ability to sample SCPs. Now that behaviour has been decoupled.
  • This flag has been added to all jobs that currently have the SampleHostileSCPs flag
• MTF E-11 Nine Tailed Fox - Biohazard Specialist - Added Flag: InjectHostileSCPs
  • This is not meant to replace DClass for testing. This is to be used when a test is so dangerous or a chemical so potent that you cannot trust a D-Class to handle the injection. An SCP-008 test is a good example of this.
• Alpha-1 - Updated to have access to the following comms: GSD
• Omega-1 - Updated to have access to the following comms: ISD

Allowed the following jobs to inject SCPs:​

• Chaos Insurgency Deep cover

• N-HU-23-X - Increased duration of all effects from 15 seconds to 24 seconds.

AvDrones​

• Basic Drone - Raised max height limit by +50%

VKeycards​

• Multi-Tap
  • Requires a configurable number of authorized personnel to scan their keycards before activation.
• In-Game Configurable Airlocks
  • Allows SL to configure airlocks directly in-game without requiring a map update.
  • Configurable options include:
    • Cycle Time (time between airlock stages)
    • Default State (state the airlock resets to on restart)
    • Return-to-Default Timer (after how long, if at all, the airlock will return to its default state)

Credits​

Assistants (USA)​

VGuns​

Bug Fix!!!!​

• Fixed magazines not being full for certain weapons when a player spawns.

• KAC Stoner
• Fixed some guns spawning with more bullets in the magazine than should be possible

Funny 10/5 Clip SVD

Reload Bug​

• Fixed a bug that caused weapon reload animations to play despite the weapon not actually reloading

This should fix the primary cause of the reload bug, however, there's likely other causes, which I'll be continuing to narrow down and fix

VJobEditor​

• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused job data to improperly initialize on the client

This should resolve the issue responsible for players showing the wrong job titles in the tab menu/above their heads, alongside a few other issues that would accompany this. If you notice any future occurrences of this issue, please report it to staff.

Fixed the following jobs not having the correct assigned ERT priority:​

• MTF E-11 Biohazard Specialist
• MTF E-11 Containment Specialist

These jobs would have no additional ERT priority compared to other E-11 jobs, this is now fixed

Fixed the following jobs not being assigned the correct type:​

• MTF E-11 Biohazard Specialist
• MTF E-11 Containment Specialist
• CI R&D
• Fixed GOC jobs having 2 containment beams in 1 loadout
• fixed GOC Jobs Having 2 containment cuffs in 1 loadout.

Rules Changes​

Added: Category 6.07 Chemical Injection Rules

Edited: Category 6.07(a) Chemical Injection Rules
Injecting AMN-F762-R (Commonly known as Class-F) into SCP entities is not permitted unless prior approval has been given by a member of Server Leadership (Administrator+) or a Senior Game Master+ is running, assisting in, or overseeing the roleplay scenario. When requesting approval, you should have a clear goal in mind for the RP scenario that you are leading/participating in.

Clarification: 1.03 FailRP If an SCP is being actively breached, under no circumstances can they attack someone outside of their chamber unless they are fully breached or being attacked by said person. Silver rule standards would apply otherwise.
