Mayor should be suited imo, not look like fuckin Neo from the matrix.

And why not a poloce officer as a police officer skin?

Just sayin.

The cop has NYPD badges is the problem with him. Also notice he's wearing a winter coat. The California map looks like it'd be super hot, not winter coat time in New York. At this point you're gonna be like "Well, the mayor guy looks like he'd be boiling," but that's not the point. He's wearing sun glasses so that makes him cooler than everyone.

@ Suit guy:

Looks like a space//year 2100 suit to me. If you can find like a traditional business suit I'll take that for mayor. If he's Italian he can be a mafia boss, or if he doesn't look mayorly maybe he would work as a lawyer, but the one you linked looks really weird to me.

But, I might get Louis from L4D as a model as a lawyer, thx to Techknow. You guys need to look in there too to find cool stuff if that's what you want to do.

is there a estimate on when the expansion will come out towards the rp server? not trying to rush/pressure anyone but its just i cant wait till it happens

Okay right now I'm at work, but I set the map to compile. Hopefully it will be done when I get home tonight. Even if it is it will still take me an hour or so to configure the server for the new map, but maybe that'll get done tonight and we'll have an new version of the map.

Things to expect:
- Black building got replaced. New building isn't done yet, but shouldn't be as ugly.
- Bank of the West has two new houses near it along with a Hotel. You can't go in the hotel at this time.
- Traffic lights added to a third intersection.
- Traffic light models upgraded to be séxy.
- LOL Night Club changed to TechNoir. Inside completely re-furnished and renovated.
- Fixed the glitch in the road at the end of tunnel by Renegade house.
- Added awning over driveway at house across from Renegades.
- Interrogation Rooms added to City Hall Police basement.
- New Elevator in Judicial Wing of City Hall. This is good for escorting prisoners to court.
- Hopefully the dark area will have light now.
- Fixed ocean texture error.
- Added plants to the windows on the Pool building.
- Changed lighting in some areas.
- Maybe windows in Maaco are fixed. Maybe.
- Fixed some of the hills having weird shadows.

Well done Nat! So will the glitched area (water tanks) be fixed or will they still be darkened?

[Natalya]

Preliminary testing indicates that they will no longer be glitched (I rand a compile with that section of the map only and it came out fine) but as I couldn't pinpoint the exact cause of the problem they might still end up dark when the whole map is compiled.
