Changelog

1.5.0 (2026-02-27)

• Add in-game admin board management. Admins can place, edit, delete, reposition and teleport to boards directly in-game via a configurable chat command (Config.AdminBoardCommand, default: boardadmin).

• Boards created via the admin panel are stored in the database (nss_pinboard_boards table) and merged with config.lua boards on startup. Database boards take precedence over config.lua boards with the same city name.

• Add live placement preview with walk/fine mode and position/heading sliders.

• Add board reposition: move an existing board to a new position via placement mode from the board list.

• Add "Migrate Config Boards" button to copy all config.lua boards into the database (callbacks are not migrated).

• Add proximity-based prop spawning for database boards (chunk system, configurable via Config.BoardViewDistance).

• Add Lua callback support for database boards (stored as source text, compiled at runtime via load()).

• Add configurable prompt offset for database boards (Config.DbBoardPromptOffset, default: 0.5).

• Fix TINYINT(1) boolean fields (alternative_style, hide_blip, prevent_text_posters, prevent_image_posters) not being read correctly from database. Some DB drivers return booleans instead of integers for TINYINT(1) columns; both are now handled correctly.

• Fix blip cleanup on resource stop: blips were not removed because the wrong handle was stored.

• Block admin panel while a pinboard is open.

• UI improvements: icon buttons, scrollable dialogs, side-by-side job restriction columns, consistent title styling.
