What is new

Launcher releases and signed client sequences are separate. The launcher updates itself through Update and restart. Client content arrives through Update or Repair.

The current launcher is 0.3.13, with signed launcher sequence 3013. Read its release notes for the latest changes.

The current client release is nui.r20261024, with signed client sequence 18.

Player chat channels

The Channels button beside the chat tabs controls your channel memberships and send destination.

Client content nui.r20261013, sequence 13, adds separate channel choices for each chat tab.

Use the dialog to create, join, leave, and send messages to channels within your faction. Each character can join 5 channels.

Channel names ignore letter case. An empty password makes a public channel. A private channel needs its exact password.

1. Open Channels beside the chat tabs.
2. Create or join a channel.
3. Open Tab Settings > Custom channels shown… for each tab. Select its channels, then select Confirm.
4. Select a joined channel in the dialog before you send a message.

Memberships and tab choices end when you disconnect. A channel disappears when its last member leaves.

Sequence 13 also fixes the chat-tab deletion callback and adds Origins to the credits page, with Kegan and Mike.

Website accounts

Create your account on the website and confirm the email from [email protected]. Then use your username and password in the launcher.

The launcher no longer creates an account at the first login. Password resets and email changes use the website.

Read Set up the game for the account procedure.

Since 0.3.0, the launcher checks for signed updates at startup or from Settings. It checks the signed manifest and archive hash before Update and restart.
