Hi everyone,
 
We've really been busy recently behind the scenes working on a few features for the site. We've already soft launched quite a lot, and we thought it was time to sit down and announce a lot of what we've done the past couple months. So here it is, a round-up of all the new features since the start of the year. Some you may have seen, and others you might have missed.
 
LSPDFR Sync: Leaderboard
Let's start with one that I think a lot of you have noticed. We're proud to now officially launch our LSPDFR Sync leaderboard system.

The LSPDFR Sync leaderboard system currently tracks three core stats right now: cuffs, pullovers and times you've reported for duty.
You'll find your highest character rank on the portal page, below the top #5 to quickly identify where you rank in comparison to your fellow officers across the world.
We have big plans for expanding the LSPDFR Sync system even further, including a developer API for plugin developers to record their own stats as well as increment other built-in core stats.
 
Downloads: Download History and Trending/Featured and tweaks
A lot of feedback we've received from people is that they would like a place where they can see what they've downloaded, and what exactly has changed.
Our new Download History page will show what you've downloaded, whether it has an update, if you've reviewed the file, if you're subscribed for updates and more -- all on a single page. You can even sort through the files as if you're on a normal download list page.
The new Trending and Featured pages will show all the respective trending and featured downloads. These pages are quite basic right now, but we're working on making them a lot more useful.
We've also changed the structure of the file links. They are now far more descriptive, including the game and category. 
For example: https://www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta5mods/g17media/7792-lspd-first-response/
Don't worry! All old style links work and will continue to work in the future.
 
LML: User Contributions
Does your favourite LCPDFR.com mod not support LML, but you've already gone through the work of converting it for use for LML?
Now you can share your LML install.xml for a mod on LCPDFR.com, enabling automatic hassle-free installation of that mod for everyone.
To get started, simply click 'Contribute an LML install.xml' beneath the 'Download with Mod Manager' button on a file page.
After your installation file has been added, the 'Download with Mod Manager' button will be enabled for that file, which will use the contributed install.xml file. The original file and download are not modified or changed in anyway.
Right now, files with LML contributions are not tagged as being LML-compatible. We'll be making changes to our 'LML Compatible' and 'FiveM Ready' options on files in the coming days, with these things being auto-detected, instead of relying on correct tagging.
 
Resources: GTA5 Native Database, GTA5 Vehicle Database and homepage
Whilst creating our new site, Mod-RDR.com, for modding Red Dead Redemption 2 we worked on creating a powerful developer Wiki with a lot of features. Mod-RDR.com is still one of top places for knowledge on modding RDR2, with documentation and lists on natives, peds, clothes, vehicles (horses) and much more.
One of the features we were particular happy with was making our RDR2 Native Database, which documents the game's native functions.
If you have modded GTA5 or a previous Rockstar Games title you'll know natives are functions exposed by the game for use by the games' developers.
Our native database is a little bit different from other native database projects, instead using an actual relational database with rich Wiki features and a comment section on each native. We decided it would be useful to bring this to GTA5, so we have, and you can find it here.
In addition, we've partnered with GTABase.com to show their amazing vehicle database on our Resources section, as well as display their news feed on our homepage. Trending mods from LCPDFR.com will now show on their homepage and hopefully attract even more people to the world of GTA modding.
 
Continuing Optimizations
We've also been trying to get the website to run a lot faster. Over the past few months, we've been identifying a lot of pages which aren't running as fast as we'd hope.
As an example, one of these was the downloads page. Due to a design decision on the side of our forum software vendor, we were seeing the downloads page using up to 200+ queries, with most of these simply querying for screenshot data. On bad days, this took up to 2 seconds to complete. We've made a bunch of changes on our end, rewriting how this system grabs file data, and we managed to take this down to single digit queries to the database. Now the page takes only a few milliseconds to render, making the experience better for everyone.
We also changed how our frontends talk to our backend server, optimizing the encryption used by changing to using Elliptic Curve cryptography, which is much faster than before.
 
 
We're always happy to hear your feedback. If you've got any ideas on what we should work on next with the website, or any comments on the above please let us know.

FIB! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS!

Comments and questions regarding EUP have exploded since LSPDFR 0.4, I'm breaking the silence today with news and showcase material.
 
First has been quite a year for my self, lots of changes in my life. EUP was on hold for I don't know how long, but I feel great and myself and the team had been working hard over the past few months not only to bring new content but basically a new mod, yup don't look for a changelog in the next update. Initial release baby. So much have changed and it's nothing like the current official release and let's be honest I have not written down anything about changes in EUP 8.0. Hope you will enjoy this trailer I made quickly.
 
 
 
This year we made an amount of 2200$ with my new Patreon page, all thanks to supporters for their contributions in the developpement of this mod. With these contributions I was able to replace my dead computer and cover the fees for software that I use to make this mod. For more information about contributions and tiers visit the Patreon page or our Discord
 
Of course EUP - Serve & Rescue is getting a makeover aswell 


 
I think the previews says it all, but if there is any question just ask. No I have don't have a release date, but you can expect an update dropping in March or maybe a couple of days if we're lucky enough.
 
Cheers!
