Version ALPHA 0.4.0

Changes:

  • Added Jarreton Freight TMD, home of the GreeTech freight fleet (scenery)!
    ! The TMD may look empty in its current state, but that’s because the fleet is still a heavy work-in-progress! Freight related aspects are expected to be finished and implemented in future patches/updates.

  • A respawn message now appears every time you manually reset your character via the Respawn button.
  • Improved the visuals of the Newspaper roleplay tool.
