Title: PM in buildings
Post by: stiffler2100 on January 25, 2008, 05:48:01 pm
hmm why cant we pm in buildings? i think its good if we can, for the reason that when im in a building with say 5 people and i want to say something only hayden can hear i can pm him, because everyone in the building will hear my /w and my /l so on so forth only way of making it so only one member hears in the building is by pm but its disabled in buildings.

I would happily SMS if every person had a phone. Until then, /pm is just simpler.

And yes, PM should be able to be in buildings.

It makes you have to make a call, which is more Roleplay if you ask me, and yes i think PM should be replaced by /sms or something similar for more roleplay  ;)

No, the PM command doesn't need be rechanged to SMS.

If you can't separate what is RP and what is NON RP, heres a guide and learn it.
Because its an RPG server [you dont need to RP in every single moment], and not a real life role play server we need non rp communacation too.
So instead of the remove pm, we should get a new non rp chat, and some update needs on current rp chat.

1. the main chat, the pulic chat, and PM is only for non role-play talk
   
    It stands for:
    discussion about what to role-play, for chatting in private or public, to get and give help to other players.
   
    So when we are not able to use the PM in buildings, is very very pointless.

    When the scirpt is not enough, you can rp in main chat. [eg: taxi, or medic radio]

2. the local chat, shout, whisper, cellphone, sms, radio, megaphone, is only for role-play talking

3. [+ we need new commands for better rp-ing]
    -We need a local ooc(out of character) chat | atm the players are using (()) or put [ooc] when they talk
     about non rp talk while use /l  , but it takes longer time.
     The worst when the players are just simple using the local chat for non-rp talking.
   

I dont how what you guys think about the chat colours, but i guess its awefull and its annyoing sometimes.
ATM every local chat[/l /s /w /call], the radio, megaphone and the  /me command has the same colour(purple).
When you are in RP its hard to pay attention to every chat, and the old system was more user friendly.

[local chats] - white - grey (depends on how far you standing from the other player)
radio(police ardio) - blue
megaphone - yellow
/ me - purple

About update: The police radio should be visible as the cellhpone. In real life, you can hear when the cop is talking to the radio, thats why they using codes. Sometimes the pulled over guy thinks you are afk, but you just talking to the police radio.. so its annoying.


Back to PM, i dont see the point why should we rechange a non RP chat with a RP chat, we need both of em
for better communication, and if they using the commands incorect, as arognath player you must help and
teach other players how to role-play.

yes i know that dont treat us like idiots, this was in a TCL meeting i wanted to use pm in the building to go threw with hayden about promotions and demotions, i wanted to use pm so everyone inside the building wouldnt see what i was asking hayden about, it was a private leader thing.

oh ye, right, then if you are on meeting, the person you want to talk to in private is less than 1 meter far from you and you send him a SMS? :lol:

My suggestions:

Put whisper back as /w id, so the message only goes to that person;

Or reduce drastically the range of /w, because atm its too wide.

and put /sms back.

to use the chat system, plus i told my opinion.  :roll:

Vice - Best friend now | you understand how good RP is structured on! :D



About what we do, the some of us who Like to keep roleplay and OOC distinguished.
In some other servers, instead of doing
/l (( blah blah blah )) (which takes forveer)

They have a command that acts like /l chat, but autmatically puts  (( )) Around your chat - signifying that its OOC
its /b

In Character
This is how it would look
/l Hello Gandalf, how are you today?
[TCL]Hayden: Hello Gandalf, How are you today?

Out Of Character chat
/b Hello Gandalf, how are you today?
[TCL]Hayden: (( Hello Gandalf, how are you today? ))

Also:
*And as a Roleplay server - its kidna bad that Roleplay isnt enforced anywhere, it hurts me inside, cause i love seeing when people Roleplay - and someone comes and acts like a crazy guy and comes and ruins it for everyone and admins cant punish/take action for it.
Not just RP scenario's - im saying in general..... Who stops at a PD and throws tomatoes at cops?

Here is a Very very very small list of the things that ruin it for everyone...
*Some werido jumping on FBI Trucks
*Throwing tomatoes at Law Enforcement
*Throwing dounuts at cops
*Pissing on cop cars
*Flying planes into LSPD not even RPing it
*Parking all over the sidewalks
*Driving like crazy ass people (i dont care about that, just the accidents that happen to people with nice cars all the time)
*Running to a group of people and punching them (plauseable in RP - in my eye's... just some dumbass who is punching people)
*Floating helicopters above LSPD for no reason
*Randomly towing peoples cars
*Randomly towing cop cars away from the parkings
*Just doing things you wouldent in real life

Just to name a small few things that should be taken action upon as non RP cause its ruining all of our roleplay and ruining the 'roleplay' aspect of Argonath RPG's Classic RPG style SA:MP Server :(

Just to add to that list

*People pulling guns out of their ass

Can i ask you all somthing, where, oh where have you ever seen someone pull a Deagle out of their ass and kill you with it?
Where are you gonna fit anything up there?

Guys, be realistic, You are NOT going to have a shotgun holstered to your leg (shifter :rofl: )
Pistol/deagle is fine, cause you have pants/belt to pull it out of

shotgun - AK-47 - M4 - Big guns
they would be in a car or trunk - not in your ass to pull out :(

I agree with vice. In all he says.
I dunno about what hayden said cause I'm a very lame RPGer.

The taking m4 out of ass his Rockstars fault, but dont worry cause they fixed it on IV.
And anyway, some peoples are *cough* I mean have really Big assholes.

hayden, its in a little place called west belfast, but instead of tomoatoes they use stones/bricks

 :lol:

however, i become increasingly frustrated when i am not able to contact someone because they have no phone, and are inside.
it should be law; "any citizen of argonath who does not own a mobile phone is to be ass-raped by a donkey...or anto...."

The only down side I see now in no pm's in buildings is the passport tests, I thought it was a really good place to do the passport test in city hall but now you can't pm inside so you must do it outside.

The only way to do it inside is /l chat, but when you have more then one person inside they are going to see the questions and answers, If you can only pm in city hall buildings or make some other command up so only two people can hear (tester and citizen) that would be good for passport tests.

 maybe a /sms command where people in the /w area will see this: *Christ_Corleone* types something into his Phone

after I just did /sms [5555] hey Daniel, what do you think about this guy? he telling the truth?

this way it brings Real life aspects of contacting someone behind their back's ( them being the people around you ) but only if they are close enough to see it. :)

what you think?
