Well hello there

As promised I am here to bring you some news regarding the Las Venturas Playground VIP features! This project took about 6 weeks and roughly 50 code commits, for once because a few other LVP features are integrated with the VIP system. Let me sum things up for you:

1) We've dropped the VIP Mod system, meaning the /(un)lang commands has been removed from the gamemode. VIPs still have access to admin vehicles (hydra and hunter), and the rules regarding this access remain untouched. Meaning: abusing these vehicles will have your admin vehicle access removed, permanently.

2) The private message and call features are completely rewritten. For VIPs this means you are now able to PM with IRC users even smoother than already possible. The /r(eply) command will now work for both received IRC and ingame private messages. Overall you'll notice the visual changes only.

3) We are introducing the following new features for VIPs:
- free armour upon spawning
- a /my weather command to change your own weather at all times
- a /my look command to temporarily change your skin
- the ability to spawn vehicles while participating in a cruise, with the /cruise command

4) Then there is one big update I haven't talked about yet: the dev beasts are bringing back persistent player color changes for VIPs! We are introducing something really awesome and unique here: a color picker to pick the exact color you'd like to have

As you see one page holds 49 colors, meaning 3 pages carry 147 different colors to pick from! A color change costs 10 mil., and you are able to change your color as often as you like. The color is saved upon disconnecting and set on the next login.

Apart from these innovations there have been a few cleanups in the code, and many bugfixes have been done. Enjoy your stay!
