 I would prefer travel over, it might make cops follow you over to rockford, giving that map some population.

Possible scenarios:

One suspect traveling back and forth from Rockford for one annoying police chase.

Suspect in custody, likely hit with an arrest stick and sent to Rockford jail, cops head back to populated server.

Perhaps a 30 minute cooldown on switching using the Tethering?

Yes, that would fix it.

People with active warrants shouldn't be trying to cross borders. Anything down to an unpaid speeding ticket will get you placed in cuffs. That sort of cool down will only end with people feeling as though they're trapped anyway. We also end up with the police being trapped on another server. Then there's the issue of player slots when someone is being chased between servers. Follow a suspect to rockford and you've just lost your cop spot. There's several more complications with server hopping while you have a warrant versus being confined to one map during the latter.
Thank you very much for the suggestions so far. As mentioned this is just the base for a more extensive version. We will definately improve and extend this update over the next days/weeks.

Regarding warrants/arrest evasion: I added a check to make sure that you're not redirected when warranted.
Pop down some permanent world props that make those locations look more distinguished so players can know somethings up and investigate.

Great job.
Sneaky sneaky!

Nope.
It's the old model, but doesn't mean it can't be used: it actually fits more snugly into a corner (meaning ample room for RP in the parking lot still) and it's good to differentiate between the Map Tether bus and the driveable bus.

As I said though, it could all change.
I'm pretty sure it's meant to countdown from 5 seconds, but instead it just repeats itself when your standing there
Cool update, however I think the wait should be longer than 5 seconds. The message is subtle enough that you may not have sufficient time to react if you don't want to be redirected.

Edit: also since there was an update about warranted people not being able to get through what about also handcuffed people?
Might also want to change it so that the message goes in the middle of your screen.
Looks amazballs I love it
