Release notes from Crazy Eyes Studio

CES TINT METER

v1.3.0 Sep 27, 2026

Added

Third-eye support: third-eye any vehicle → Scan Window Tint. Uses ox_target or qb-target automatically, whichever the server has, with nothing to set up. Your character turns to face the car and the meter opens on it
PASS / FAIL legal limits with separate front and rear limits (Config.LegalLimit)
Front vs rear window readings, based on where you stand around the vehicle
Police-only option: Config.RequireAcePermission restricts the meter to players with tintmeter.use
Handheld meter prop and animation while the meter is open (Config.Prop)
Custom per-vehicle tints: /settint <front> [rear] and /cleartint (ACE tintmeter.settint)
Custom tints can be saved by plate across restarts, no database needed
Exports and events for ticket, MDT and tint-shop scripts: GetLastReading, GetCustomTint, SetCustomTint, UseMeter, ces_tintmeter:scanned
config.lua for the command, keybind, third eye, range, facing angle, timings, screen position, size and tint table
Optional rebindable keybind (Config.Keybind)
Press E / Enter / Space to scan without clicking
Real LCD-style screen font (DSEG, open font license)
server.lua: scans and permission checks now go through the server

Changed

Resource renamed to CESTintMeter. Update your server.cfg to ensure CESTintMeter
/tm and the keybind still work on servers with no third-eye resource
Tint percentages corrected: Pure Black 5%, Limo 15%, Dark Smoke 20%, Light Smoke 35%, Green 70%, Stock 80%, None 100%
Vehicle targeting now picks the closest vehicle in front of you, including police, emergency and occupied vehicles
Facing check uses a proper angle (Config.FacingAngle, default 45°)
The meter now sits in the bottom-right by default and can be moved (Config.UI.position) and resized (Config.UI.size)
Messages use GTA notifications instead of chat
The meter closes automatically if the player dies, enters a vehicle or is knocked over
README rewritten with third-eye info, a config reference, permission setup and developer docs

Removed

Security

Meter use and /settint permissions are checked on the server, so they can't be bypassed from the client
The third-eye option only shows for players allowed to use the meter when police-only mode is on
Custom tint values are checked on the server (0–100%) along with the player's distance to the vehicle

v1.1.0 Sep 22, 2026

Added

NUI form for placing custom map blips (name, category, sprite, color, scale, optional auto-expire duration)
Configurable blip categories, with search + category filtering in "All Blips"
Curated Sprite/Color dropdown (10 verified icons and colors) with a "Custom ID…" option for anything else
/listblips command prints all saved blips (id, category, name, coordinates) to chat
Blips persist in MySQL and auto-load for players who join after they were created
Cfx Asset Escrow sale-prep (escrow_ignore config, ready-to-post forum listing)

Changed

Redesigned the NUI into a dark glass panel with tabs, card-style list items, and toast notifications
Default Sprite changed to Waypoint (8), a verified icon, instead of an unassigned/unsafe ID

Security

Fixed the blip INSERT query so new blips actually save instead of failing silently
Enforced ACE permissions server-side on add/delete/list actions, not just client-side
Blocked invalid Sprite IDs (like 0) that rendered as an oversized blank colored square instead of an icon

v2.1.0 Sep 22, 2026

Added

Built-in death system for standalone/vMenu servers: you stay downed instead of auto-respawning
Free-look camera while downed (move the mouse to look around, scroll wheel to zoom)
Hold E to respawn at the nearest hospital after a configurable delay
/revive, /revive [id] and /down (testing) commands
Config.DeathSystem.enabled toggle; turns off automatically on QBCore or when CES_DeathSystem is running
Default keybind F9 to call the AI medic (players can rebind it)
Ambulance now spawns on a real road 120–220m away and drives to you
Readable cause of death shown during treatment (e.g. Gunshot wound (pistol))
Stuck recovery: the ambulance or medic is moved into place if they can't reach you
Per-player cooldown (Config.Cooldown)
Config.Invincible option for the medic and ambulance
Labels and headings for hospitals in Config.Hospitals
All player messages are editable in Config.Text

Changed

Standalone is now the default; QBCore is optional and detected automatically
All timings in config.lua are now in seconds instead of milliseconds
Config.MaxEMSOnline renamed to Config.MaxEMSOnDuty (default 0) and now only counts on-duty EMS
QBCore fees are charged from bank first, then cash (Config.ChargeAccounts)
Standalone notifications use the GTA notification feed instead of chat
The respawn prompt is hidden while an AI medic is on the way
The medic no longer flees or reacts to gunfire and traffic
File layout reorganized into client/ and server/ folders

Removed

Fixed

The ambulance never drove to the hospital after reviving (medic wasn't put back in the driver's seat)
Cause of death always showed "unknown"
A failed model load could freeze the script until the resource was restarted
The AI medic still responded when EMS were on duty
Standalone showed "EMS fee skipped due to server error" on every call
The ambulance, medic and medbag were left in the world if a player disconnected or the resource restarted

Security

Any player could revive themselves or others at any time by triggering the old revive event
Any player could charge other players' bank accounts through the old charge event
The server now runs every call (dispatch, treatment timing, charging and revive), and all client requests are checked
