v60 update (14.3.2025)
version 60.0
- change lightning frequency, relative value. Game uses 200 as default. Setting it to 50 will make lightning appear ~4x times less often. 0 seems to disable lightning (ini:Visual->LightningFrequency)
- recruited gang members don't move hands when following CJ (ini: Visual->GangDontMoveHands)
- create a single money pickup (one pack of bills)for ped drops instead of multiple packs (ini: Visual->SingleMoneyPickup)
- change the chance that a gang member spawns with weapon. By default, the game uses 33% chance. (ini: Gameplay->GangWeaponChance)

(ini: Visual->WaterCreaturesVisibility)
- change intensity of camera shake when explosion is near the player (ini:
Visual->CamShake***)
- sniper crosshair tweaks (ini: Visual->EnableSCtweaks)
This one is for those, who make their custom crosshairs. To draw sniper
crosshair the game uses only upper-left section of the crosshair and then
copies and rotates it three times. Now you can disable any section or change
it's color.
- option to change grenade explosion delay (ini: Gameplay->GrenadeFuseTime)
Note: if you are using GrenadeMod - you should change the value there as
well
- option to disable stats pop up box (ini: Visual->DontShowStats)

version 50
- option to disable black area around sniper crosshair (ini: Visual->NoSniperViewBorder)
Requires custom crosshair. With vanilla it would look bad.

- option to change Enex marker color, only Red and Green values available
(ini: Visual->EnexConeR(G))

(ini: Visual->DisableGarageCam)
- Keep weapons when busted (ini: Gameplay->KeepWeaponsWhenBusted)
- Keep weapons when wasted (ini: Gameplay->KeepWeaponsWhenWasted)
When any of the above options is disabled - the game would work as it used to, taking gilfriend bonuses into account.

- Disable distance fog. (ini: Visual->DisableFog)
Note: to get results like on the screenshot you have to increase drawing distance a lot in Project2DFX

version 45.0
- Disable guns on Predator boat. Affects only police-controlled boats.
(ini: Police->DisablePredatorGuns)
- Disable police boat loudspeaker (ini: Police->DisableBoatLoudspeaker)
- Probabily of police heli using loudspeaker. Allowed values are 0.0 to 1.0 (game default). 0.0 disables it completely, in order to noticeably reduce the amount of heli "talking" you have to use really low values, like 0.0005 (ini: Police->PoliceHeliLspProbability)
- Rhino explosion proof - removes EP flag from Rhino, it can now be damaged by explosions as all other cars. This is intended to use with reduced Rhino damage multiplier. (ini: Gameplay->RhinoExplosionProof)

version 40.0
- organized stuff inside ini file, from now on everything will be sorted by sections: Gameplay, Visual, Audio, Police, Big Map

Gameplay - various stuff related to gameplay
Visual - visual fixes and improvements
Audio - audio setting (empty so far)
Police - everything that is related to cops
Big Map - big map mod stuff goes here

- disable cops spawning around the player. Car cops still arrive as usual. Random cops might still appear because they are spawned as part of peds, but that's not even close to what it was. Makes the game easier, but more comfortable (ini: DontSpawnCops)
- disable vehicle name display when entering vehicle (ini: DisableVehicleNames)
- removed "apply extra air resistance" in some areas. This will allow the car to go full speed everywhere (ini: DisableExtraAirResist)

- Water cannon stream made thinner (ini: WaterCannonThinner)
- Light from missiles reduced (ini: MissileLightSmaller)
- Peds don't drown in water (ini:PedsDontDrown) and peds swim (ini:PedsSwim)
Makes peds don't drown when they fall in water and (if enabled) makes them swim somewhere. Unfortunately, they can't climb on stuff (like pier for example), and they swim in one direction without searching for a path.
- Rhino damage multiplier. It is a multiplier that increased damage made by Rhino when it hit cars. Game default is 15 and it caused instant explosion or sets the car on fire on the slightest scratch. Now you can set it to any number you prefer (range 0 to 15). (ini: RhinoDamageMult)

- update (map screen): option to make BACK work only when cursor is in lowest position on the screen (ini: BigMapBackFix)

- Change how much money you loose when you get busted (set for each wanted level)
