Project Evermont · The big update · October 24, 2026
Fort Evermont, two new downtown districts, new stations, new police cars and a rebuilt ELS


World & Map: Fort Evermont
- A U.S. Army base north of where US-101 ends, on the minimap and the CAD with a big entrance sign.
- Army Military Police (formerly Marine Raiders) run the gate, patrols and CCTV. The 75th Rangers are the quick reaction force. Both are invite-only.
- Keycard main gate with animated barrier arms, wedge barriers and sliders.

World & Map: Base lockdown
- Blast doors rise across the whole gate and red/white walls come up beside it, from the BASE LOCKDOWN console in the HQ ops room.
- Gate control room: barrier arms, wedges, pop-up bollards and sliders per lane, CCTV walls and live status screens, all with sounds.

World & Map: Inside Fort Evermont
- Furnished HQ, barracks, armory, aid station and motor pool. Army units spawn in the base ready rooms.
- 30 base cameras on the CCTV network and 4 siren poles.
- Base status Normal / Restricted / Lockdown, set by MP command or staff. Lockdown opens both compounds so the QRF can move.

- Curbs and shoulders, 14 emergency pull-out bays, 69 new speed limit signs and 4 billboards.

World & Map: Weather & nature
- About 30,000 trees, shrubs, rocks and logs across the map.
- Rain falls with the wind, splashes on car roofs and has new outdoor, indoor and in-car sounds. Softer snow, less storm haze.
- Real plaster and concrete textures on buildings; roads and sidewalks are textured again.

Vehicles & ELS: 7 new police vehicles
- Seven new patrol vehicles: 2025, 2020 and 2013 Explorers, a Tahoe, a Charger, an FPIU and a transport van.
- Liveries for SBPD, Sheriff, CHP, CBI, FBI, U.S. Marshals, Coast Guard and more.

- Side runners sit properly along the doors. Move lights up to 40 studs and turn them fully.
- Scene sync: police cars with their lights on near each other now flash in step, for everyone at the scene.

Vehicles & ELS: Takedowns & light library
- 269 real-world lighting items (bars, visors, grilles, mirrors, push bars, spots) fitted to 89 cars. Left and right install as a pair.

- Fixed: the Sheriff Mach-E flinging over bumps, engine and siren sound cutting out, and Fire PIU lights from HUD, touch and controller.

Police, Fire & EMS: The new CAD
- New HOME page: your unit status, your call, nearby calls with one-tap ACCEPT, and alerts.
- Closing a call asks for an outcome, and reports come pre-filled. Alerts also land in the phone's Notifications.
Police, Fire & EMS: Licences, registration & DMV

- CAD, MDT, radio, ID cards, Flock and radar now all give the same licence and registration answer.
- New "Unregistered Vehicle" ticket.

Police, Fire & EMS: Tires
- Spike strips, gunfire and hard crashes can flatten tires: the car sags, pulls and slows down.
- Grab the spare from the trunk and kneel to fit it. On-shift mechanics can fix flats.
Police, Fire & EMS: Uniforms & gear
- New detailed uniforms for SBPD, Sheriff, MPD and 7 federal teams.
- New duty vests and belts with body cam and radio mic, and 4 SWAT kits (SWAT pass).
Police, Fire & EMS: Pursuits
- PIT registers reliably despite lag, every federal team can PIT, and 3 PITs disable a car.
- Dispatch understands full CHP-style pursuit calls and sends the units you ask for.
- Respawn while downed now works instantly.

Police, Fire & EMS: Fire department
- Ladder trucks spray water: press H on Ladder 6, Tower 2, Ladder F2+ and Tiller 17. The stream follows the ladder.
- Fire vehicles unlock by your XP rank. Division Chief and Fire Chief show as appointed ranks.
- Ladder stabilizers fixed: press B to set them.
AI & Callouts: Gemini dispatch
- AI dispatch, powered by Gemini, knows your status, your call and the open calls, and talks back over the radio.
- Not sure what you meant? It works it out instead of saying "say again". Anything that does something still asks YES/NO first.

AI & Callouts: AI responders
- AI EMS: an ambulance with two medics when no EMS player is free. They hand over if one arrives.
- AI prisoner transport: ask dispatch, or press Request Transport in the CAD.
- AI tow trucks clear vehicles, and AI units no longer stall in the road. AI medics now wheel patients out on a stretcher.

AI & Callouts: Callouts overhaul
- Callout NPCs have personalities: calm, nervous, drunk, uncooperative, hostile or a flight risk. Type to them in chat and they answer, comply, argue or run.
- Pull up with lights and sirens and a flight risk may bolt, on foot or in their car. Tackle, taser and OC still stop them.
- New calls: overdose, assault victim and 4 tow calls. Scenes now have proper cone tapers, flares and debris along the lane.
- No more name tags floating over callout NPCs. Find the call on the CAD and minimap. NPCs no longer spawn on roofs, underwater or under the map.

AI & Callouts: AI pedestrians
- People now walk the sidewalks downtown: window shopping, sitting at bus stops and on their phones.
- They wait for the walk signal, step aside for cars, stop and watch for lights and sirens, and run or put their hands up at gunfire.
- Some jaywalk. Catch them and you can run their ID and write a Cite Jaywalking ticket.

AI & Callouts: AI raids on Fort Evermont
- Armed raiders hit the base in stages: a recon probe, an MRAP convoy up US-101, a gate assault, then a push on the armory, HQ, motor pool and helipad.
- Lock the base down and the blast doors stop the trucks. Breachers will try to cut through the fence instead.
- Army MP and the Rangers defend with a live raid tracker on screen, then get XP, pay and an after-action report. Patrol duties between raids.

Staff & Website: Staff radio
- A STAFF radio channel (channel 13). Typing /staff turns it on. Staff can monitor police channels, marked STAFF.
- Moderators can kick or mute radio abuse; Senior Moderators can give a 24 h radio ban.
Staff & Website: Staff portal (/staff)
- Rosters, handbooks, cases and training live on the website. Training and the staff interview are done there.
- Promotions board with activity-based recommendations. In-game permissions follow your Discord role.
- Staff vehicles: Moderator and up can spawn one with /staff then V. Moderators and up can fly and noclip again.
Staff & Website: Website
- A cleaner Evermont website, a full update log at /updates, and /sync for light sync.
- New /shop page: browse the catalogue and order on the website. Your order opens a private ticket in Discord and you can follow it on your dashboard.

Quality of life: New Contact Dial
- Hold E on anyone and the new Contact Dial opens: the camera eases in over your shoulder and your options sit around them on a dial.
- It picks the likely next step for you (Medical for someone down, ID for an unknown name), remembers what you last did, and shows their replies and why an option is greyed out.
- Risky actions like Cuff, Jail and Impound need a short hold. Number keys 1–9, thumbstick aiming on controller and big buttons on mobile.
- Prefer the old menu? Settings > Interface > Classic Interaction Menu.
