Kidnapping got real. Casino got fixed.

---

Ransom System

Kidnapping now has a proper ransom mechanic. Grab someone, drag them somewhere quiet, and make a demand.

• Set a ransom from the G menu or with /ransom <amount>
• /endraid now works (it was in the hints but never registered)
• Victim sees your name — "KIDNAPPED by [Name]" instead of just "KIDNAPPED!"
• Clear messages when kidnaps end — "Kidnap ended: Kidnapper killed"

When a victim dies or gets arrested, the kidnap ends automatically.

Casino Fixes

The slot machines got fixed. The Double or Nothing feature was showing -21 trillion on losses (oops), screens were flickering, and cashout sometimes did nothing.

All fixed now.

Thanks JustMihkel and Draw!

Wanted System

Arrest sticks now properly detect your wanted level. If you have wanted stars, cops can arrest you.

Thanks JustMihkel and Draw!

Weapon Protection

You can no longer dupe kit weapons or store purchases by putting them in your inventory.

• Kit weapons stay on you
• Store purchases can't be inventoried
• Lockpicks can be holstered properly now

---

Other Fixes

• Keypad close time — Minimum 5 seconds
• Currency — All displays now use £ instead of $
