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

​

​

CnReports​

• Introduced a brand new ticket-based reports system, replacing the traditional admin sits.
  • The menu can be accessed by pressing F6, typing @ ..., or using the commands: !report, !reports, !ticket, !tickets or !help,
• Reduces RP disruption by allowing reports to be handled without interrupting roleplay.,
• Allows staff to deal with multiple reports simultaneously, improving response times and efficiency. No longer held up by that one guy taking half an hour to upload evidence.,
• Staff requirements are now monthly rather than weekly, and AOD requirements have been removed.

Scoreboard changes​

Scoreboard Obfuscation:​

• When using the tab menu, the jobs of players of a different faction to your own will show as the name of their faction/regiment instead of their true job name.,
• Jobs will be fully alphabetically sorted instead of just by the first 3 letters.
  • The most noticeable effect of this is that MTF Jobs will be correctly grouped together by regiment,
• SCP players will always be visible regardless of faction. SCPs will have all non-SCP jobs obfuscated.,
• AOD will always be visible as AOD regardless of faction and job.,
• Connecting players will show as N/A on the tab menu
