Title: fuel
Post by: Mihail Junkovich on May 04, 2012, 01:34:16 pm
Everytime I wish to get in the game, just to remember how does it looks like.. it first crashes me several time. After that, when I got finally on the server, I take a PC cruiser or some vehicle and that bug "No fuel" appears. I usually switch car.. drive for a little, and than the same damn bug appears. So irritating

After some time, I was in "thinking process" with an idea in my head - Why do we even need fuel system?

- Role play "issue" - We could still role play for filling up a car
- Job "issue" - Mechanic job is anyway useless now atm and later, it will mostly be only for repairs. And even with that, mechanics can still roleplay filling up which could be rewarded by the car owner ( Like with hamburgers )
- And third, you could get that bug "fixed" in no time ^^

Some RP feature must be kept. It would be like deleting police jail . .

But anyway it remains a but, which "just" needs to be fixed.

Oh c'mon Batta, you can't compare it with prison because prison is also used by adminsitration for punishments and also for rp in arpd. But filling up and fulling system? There is not a lot of people who use it, and also there is not a lot of people who manage to empty theirs car fuel tank ( Only maybe during the flip event, but even then that's pretty hard to achieve ). The fuel, by my opinion, is just not needed.. we can role play it without scripts.

I have said, ever since I arrived here, that the cars need to use more fuel...

I think that Lazlow already suggested that, but the idea was refused/ignored or smth

In past, cars were using more fuel, and makes the driver need fuel every 15-20 mins, but after a time, it s changed, became useless.. But instead of removing, I think we should make it more needed. But I didnt get why you suggest to remove.. for being useless or buggy? Btw I dont think its useless, its another part of this a little left rp in this server...

- Role play "issue" - We could still role play for filling up a car
- Job "issue" - Mechanic job is anyway useless now atm and later, it will mostly be only for repairs. And even with that, mechanics can still roleplay filling up which could be rewarded by the car owner ( Like with hamburgers )

Think it a bit, if there were no cop jobs, no taxi jobs... Would the BIG part of the server roleplay something? No... People (just like now but a smaller part) would use this server as freeroam server.. I find these scripts useful as example for our new players..

Both.. useless and buggy atm. It's not a big rp act if you just type /fillup and wait for 1&0 to change while you are chillin' inside of your car :|

What's with no jobs? I don't get it.. it's not like I suggested a removal of several jobs or smth O.o

- Remove fuel system [ RP it ]
- Remove script support for filling up - mechanic job [ RP it and earn your money ]

Simple as that

"RP it" =  created by people who are too lazy to do their job as developers, only few cases are exception.

It's not about scripting, it's about the real need for it.. which I think, there is none.

I think it would be much better if someone would just stop the car and said - Damnnit.. we are out of fuel.. guess we will do some walking etc..  than that he drove around the 3 mayor islands just get an empty fuel tank

Real need, was in past, has to be like in past, why it has changed, idk, Im sad about it but even if u want to roleplay it, you can rp it even if there is a script for it... In my opinion, not should be removed but should be needed like in past, instead of full tank=2h or sth like that(who knows hehe), it should be full tank= max 30 mins(if fewer.. cheaper gas per 10% gas)

The fuel system will not be removed.

As for the textdraw bug, I will see about fixing it.
