Updates Eternal Networks DarkRP v1.7

This week’s update brings exciting changes, including a new PVP Event, Event cosmetics for November! I’ve implemented major adjustments to capture points, introduced new methods for earning faction XP, added a brand-new Eternal weapon, added a new skill, and removed the Halloween update, reverting the map and server content back to the default downtown! 

I'll be away next week busy with IRL priorities, so I'll be taking some time off from development, don’t expect another patch until after November 22nd at the earliest.

Enjoy the updates, and GLHF!
