Lots of ideas :P

[Kessu]

I won't be making multiple topics since IMO it'd just be unnecessary.

Firefighter

Give firefighters the ability to help medics ingame, but say only heal 30 hp instead of full HP.


Helidealer

Create a new vehicle dealer that specifically sells Mavericks. It could be located between the airport and Fort Baxter, or near the old IT Hangar, closer to the docks.


Cops

/c skin would make a comeback, giving you the ability the change your skin at VCPD HQ (same as /c restock) to different skins depending on your rank (SWAT/FBI/VCPD or none)


"Pockets"

Remove the absolutely ridiculous amount of 4g weed per player inventory. The line can be drawn somewhere to avoid players running with 10k weed again, but 4 is just way too small.


SWAT

Give the member of SWAT a command that which he can choose his own weapons, with restrictions ofc (you shouldn't pick a RPG and what not)


/c dumpcar

A change to how the command works. You could use the command at junkyard to "sell" the car for a fixed amount of refund (% of the vehicles marketprice).


Clan protection

Return of the clan protection script from way back when (could be combined to the HQ access script once it gets done). Leaders and people he sets as able would be able to set a certain name in clan protection, and if a player who is not in clan protection list joins (say Legend hasn't added [WS]Tauno) he would get kicked upon joining.


House ownership

Sharing house ownership with another player. You could /c buyplace and then /c shareplace <nickname>. Same would go for businesses.


That's about it for now, I may add something later on if something pops to mind

[Huntsman]

Agreed to most of those suggestions, but I disagree with the one of FDVC's. I think it would be better to script some kind of use for the fireman job, such as some kind of missions or something.

And I'd like to ad one more idea regarding /c skin. I think that VCPD officers should be allowed to change their skin to the "PIG" one and in reverse

[Alexander_Rijav]

Great ideas,would increase the likelihood of me becoming a regular.

We're not going to make firefighter duty just another "GO HERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND PRESS A BUTTON". That's off the table immediatly, we've already seen how it is in SAMP.

I made the suggestion like this since it would 1) possibly increase RP between ALL emergency services 2) firefighters IRL are able and trained to give some medical assistance.


In 2.0 BETA (these scripts were scrapped almost immediatly) there was a script that made a car stay on fire so to speak for some time and if no firefighter(s) picked up on it the car woud just go boom. That's pretty much all there can be done with VC:MP's current abilities

Well, the second idea with the car fire was very nice, why did it get scrapped? Let's remember that SA:MP is was a big community with lots of players, so yeah, people there were mostly just money munching, but with a small and roleplay dedicated community like VC:MP, scripted FDVC missions would become new possibilities for all emergency services roleplay, since:

1. VCPD would be required to isolate the fire scene
2. EMS required to heal the wounded firemen
3. FDVC to put out the fire.

And what about allowing VCPD to choose between normal and PIG skins ?

Posted the ideas so they're up for discussion and I want player's opinions on them ^^

And the security guard skin would be allowed for all cops (freecops and VCPD members, but not SWAT or FBI)

[Ki-Reddy]

1. Yes
2. Yes! but what about boats?
3. Don't we have /c duty already for that?
4. Yes. I agree, 4G is really small. Needs to be 10-15 to carry around. And how about storing them in your owned property's?
5. Sure, SWAT people will be able to tackle criminals better now (good for them, bad for us criminals D:)
6. Around 20% of the market price for the car/bike would be fair and reasonable. I already suggested that before.
7. Yes. That would stop impostors and trollers
8. Good idea, but I have a question regarding businesses, how is the profit sharing going to work?

The ideas are great Kessu, I hope everyone else agrees to them.

2. Boats will be sold at Dock Yard as they are already.
3. /c duty does not allow you to switch between the skins existing in VCMP client, it only gives you the pre-selected skin.
4. Property storing is already planned, but not scripted. Should be there in the future
8. You wouldn't share a business with a stranger now would you? You would share a business at your own risk.

It's rare that I see a topic with multiple ideas where you don't have at least one that is outright stupid or impractical, so this is a treat.

House ownership

Sharing house ownership with another player. You could /c buyplace and then /c shareplace <nickname>. Same would go for businesses.

I take it the player with who you share the place with would be a "secondary owner" rather than the "primary" one?

What about renting a property?

Renting property would not be possible since you can only own 1 property

But yeah, it'd be secondary owner and the one who originally buys the place is primary.

[JDC]

How about making this an option for people who can't afford a house yet (being able to rent someone else's property for a certain price per X days), but not being able to rent once you own one? In short, being like a secondary owner, except you pay for it. (could be another source of income too)

It could be done this way I suppose.

Firefighter
Give firefighters the ability to help medics ingame, but say only heal 30 hp instead of full HP.

Ehhh... no. We either come up with something more interesting than just another medic or just remove FireFighter spawn altogether and make it a secondary skin for medic.

Helidealer
Create a new vehicle dealer that specifically sells Mavericks. It could be located between the airport and Fort Baxter, or near the old IT Hangar, closer to the docks.

I guess it is necessary. I have found I place that I think will work but haven't shown you it yet.

Cops
/c skin would make a comeback, giving you the ability the change your skin at VCPD HQ (same as /c restock) to different skins depending on your rank (SWAT/FBI/VCPD or none)

And what about allowing VCPD to choose between normal and PIG skins ?

Yeah this would be good, as well as the Lance cop skin.

"Pockets"
Remove the absolutely ridiculous amount of 4g weed per player inventory. The line can be drawn somewhere to avoid players running with 10k weed again, but 4 is just way too small.

It's not absolutely ridiculous. Unless your holding some Tesco shopping bags you won't be able to carry a lot more. The reason it is rather small is to encourage players to store at their house and major drug dealers to find aid in storing large amounts.

SWAT
Give the member of SWAT a command that which he can choose his own weapons, with restrictions ofc (you shouldn't pick a RPG and what not)

No, unless you elaborate more on these 'restrictions' you speak of. If we allow SWAT to choose their own equipment they'll just run around with grenades, spaz, and m60. It'd just be stupid and unrealistic. The sets work fine and match most SWAT jobs: Sniper, Demolition man, Standard, and Heavy Weapons man.

/c dumpcar
A change to how the command works. You could use the command at junkyard to "sell" the car for a fixed amount of refund (% of the vehicles marketprice).

This was kind of already agreed beforehand in another idea topic. The % amount that is given back is still under consideration however.

Clan protection
Return of the clan protection script from way back when (could be combined to the HQ access script once it gets done). Leaders and people he sets as able would be able to set a certain name in clan protection, and if a player who is not in clan protection list joins (say Legend hasn't added [WS]Tauno) he would get kicked upon joining.

Maybe, but low priority IMO.

House ownership
Sharing house ownership with another player. You could /c buyplace and then /c shareplace <nickname>. Same would go for businesses.

Instead of allowing secondary owners and all this extra stuff for houses, its better to just create a 'hotel' business type, which allows any player to rent a room for however much rent the business owner sets.

Like suggested way back in 11', it was planned for 2.0 but it never got to the point of implentation.
