Thread: Future Updates

Just to keep you eager beavers up to date on what we are thinking of doing next.

Current Updates ||VM|| are working on:

Name Changes (and possible skin changes) to the following:

Rebel Leader change Mob Boss
Rebel change Mobster

Rebel Dealer change Illegal Wares Dealer

New Classes

Terrorist Leader
Terrorist
Illegal Wares Dealer

The addition of terrorists will give an interesting twist to crimes with two groups instead of one causing trouble.

New Weapons

Jihad Bomb

Cost: 20,000 for 1
Seller: Illegal wares Dealer
Info: Right Click shouts "Hey over here" Left Click starts chanting "alalalalala" then followed the holder detonating his bomb commiting suiside in the name of Allah. Big blast radius.

Additional Car Mod Stuff

Coding it so that you cannot spawn cars inside or in walls (at the moment you can so watch out)

Adding many custom cars to the buy list.

Tranq Gun

Yes! Finally we are bringing this idea back later on in the year we will hopfully have the Tranquilizer Gun up and running and up for sale in game!

Update complete and should be on the server shortly. Sorry for deleting posts and locking, but I think this should be an information thread, rather than a discussion

Features
Tying people up
Containers
OMG ONLY 2 FEATURES?!?!?!
Fuck off, containers is going to be massive
WHUT ABOT BUGZ?
I'm sure I'll fix some of those too.

EDIT:
Actually, I'm probably going to completely rebuild the help section too, at some point

If you tell me what you want there and send me the files i don't mind doing the help section for you.

Ariel. That's another load off your mind.

A guide to RP would be handy, but would go in a different tab. Everything in the help menu is dynamically created by adding new commands. I'm just going to upgrade that.
Anyway
I've decided that I'm going to completely change how jobs work, and in fact, how a lot of the core works, to get rid of the big ugly tangle of code that is the GENERIC plugin, and to speed things up. Thus, I'm going to release a small update tonight, fixing a few map exploits, hopefully making the first-person view work more often and adding the tying up feature. (bind key "say /inventory rope use", for those who can't wait), then disappear for a week or two to emerge with:

• "Gangs", allowing team hierarchies that must be traversed (a citizen can't become  rogue leader, they have to be a rogue first, likewise the rogue leader can't become the mayor, he has to go citizen->cop->mayor), revolution, exile and doors owned by the leader. (The rogue leader buys a door, and clicks 'give to gang'. Then, the door is always owned by the rogue leader, even if they leave and someone else becomes the rogue leader, the door will become that person's. All rogues will have key access to the door.)
• Accessed based warranting. If you are warranted, any door you have access to, as well as any door you own becomes rammable.
• Multi-owner cars, allowing you to give the keys of your Ferrari to that cute cop you've always liked. Along with this, cars will be able to belong to whole gangs, so 3 police cars can spawn in the nexus carpark that can only be locked/unlocked by the 'City Officials' (the gang that the police/mayor belong to)
• Containers, allowing you to store stuff to avoid clutter (No, really, I am going to do them!)
• A 'bank' service, allowing you to put your stuff away to free up inventory space
• The Events Tab, Yes, it's actually coming!
• Anything else shiny that I think of while doing all that and code as a displacement activity
