When you restock profit goes 0$. Restock costs always 50% of the profit. E.Q if u got 300k profit from /enters, restock will cost 150k, when u restock it, profit goes to 0.

Could someone from managers/owners can clear me up in which cases crime "aiding" is actually valid.

Case 1: Two people in tha car,driver is non-suspected person,passnager is suspected - I agree,fully valid.
Case 2: Two people in tha car,driver gets suspected for usualy reckless driving/speeding,few seconds after in 99% percent of cases passanger gets suspected for aiding? If this is actually valid,passanger actually should jump outa car instantly just because driver is suspected?
Case 3: Again two people,driver suspected,other guy gets suspected for aiding even if he has noany intentions to dby or in anyway help suspect,in many cases passanger is even afk..
Same case is when there is 3 or 4 people like in Case 3.

[Vince]

Thank you for the response.

Alessandro I'm pretty sure this was answered earlier, case 1 you are correct. Case 2 should not be, as it's not like the passengers are jumping into a criminal's car so the cops should tell them to leave.. if refuse /su. Case 3 if a civilian is with a suspect driving he can be considered aiding.. as why else would you drive with a sus?

The problem is of course that we should give something in return. For those who remember 2007, we made that time a loan system so players could open a business with little money, and made sure there was extra man power to set all houses in short time.

If we choose a full reset, then that does not mean active and old players will lose their name or automatically lose their long-standing business. However it will mean that those players who are not active will lose out, in favour of the active players.

How exactly this will be done is something we do not know yet, as most of it is at this time just an idea brewing in my mind. But rest assured, wwhen the time comes you will be informed and get all chances to retain landmarks.

Someone said that above

I really want to know if CoastGuard HQ must be sold, and my house too which I own since the early times of my stay in Argonath which I used on occasions to hold DD's,  roleplay farmer, sell food and etc, I also want to continue this but seeing as it will be changed I am afraid to start it because if I do then the farm is gone then wtf we do >.< 

Will there be priority given to those who own a building / house for so long and still play, maybe not 24/7 - but I am not inactive ... ? So they can get loan, buy it back then work hard to repay loan and retire for a bit then continue as normal?

I would love the idea of new change that could help server and could not care about my money (because I already lost it a month before because of this same script change I got used to the idea already that I cant use the money, it stays in IVMP now XD).

I don't want to change my whole samp life, because it's nice

When you exit/enter building, there is 3-5sec freeze time while you can't move. Is it consider as script abusing if someone does /thawme to avoids freezing?

Player sits and weedfield in full armor and combat shotgun with a spraycan around the weed flower. A new player goes up to try his hand at a new job and the regular goes "You got 3 secs to leave or you die !!!!!" new player runs off scared to next weedfield to find the same thing by someone else.

I see this is very wrong.. but what would they be punished for? DM?

Forcing to RP? Tho' if the newbie tries to take the weed it's consider as scamming if they don't RP it? Complicated..


Am i even allowed answer/discuss here?

/helpmeup was introduced originally to actually get out from being car killed.

Is this true or is Louis Keyl just making it up because I don't remember carkilling as a bug

Answer has been posted:

Incorrect.
/helpmeup was introduced in case people spawned in places built on water like Disneyland, in which case they would respawn swimming under the objects when returning.

Remember back to SA:MP 0.2x when you frequently crash all the time? When you log back in, you often find yourself under the car you were driving. I believe this was when /helpmeup was introduced.

:ps: Guess the Miami Syndrome was an epidemic in SA:MP at the time.  :devroll:

[Pandalink]

As I remember it was added for people getting stuck under Disneyland.

Yeah but spawning under a car isn't the same as being carkilled by another player which is what Louis Keyl has told everyone was the reasoning behind the addition of /helpmeup. I remember until mid 2009 there was this annoying bug where you fell a mile if you entered a business and could use /helpmeup to fix it or exit and try to enter at another point.

As I remember it was added for people getting stuck under Disneyland.

Anyways the answer was posted on the original topic:

I will give my answer to this:

The thing you put in citation marks is of course not the right way to do it. Nethier is blasting the new player full of bullets.

Instead, try to involve the player more. Like "If you steal my weed, my mercy won't be existant".

Anything but swearing and cussing the new player off. By doing something similar to what I could think off. You show the conditions that could make you assault the player, but nethier are you being an jerk and asshole about it. If they ask what the heck you are talking about, invite them and learn them in an short rp session what it is about, maybe give them 1 gram of weed. Now you lost only 1 gram, but you instead helped the new player understand the "weed" growing thing an bit better.

/growweed and so on.

If it was an new player being deathmatched, I would just report for "Deathmatching". Simply because the weed grower is not even trying to explain to the new player why he/she might assault.

An similar thing happened to me, in which an litte more experienced new player came and stole my weed. Instead of just taking out an combat and shooting him full, I told my reasons and challanged him to an duel instead about said weed. He with AK-47 and I with Kung fu style. He won tough since he had shot me some few times with AK-47 to get an advantage. (It turned out later that he was just an shitty scammer.)


All in all, outright killing an new player for just coming near is to be treated as Deathmatching. Especially when the situation is that the new player is only curious.

I know that several of the "tough boys" in this server who have no problem being an asshole/rulebreaker and who then say "It was only IC" would prefer to use the version you citated. Sad but true.

Situation:

Player 1 jokes about player 2, player 2 jokes him back. Admin bans player 2. Jokes were about other guys IG name.

Question:

was that the right thing to do?? Both said only 1 word, but only player 2 got banned? And why BAN, why no warn, kick, banana or tempban?

Ps. happened IG few min ago. I got SS if you dont unserstand from the text.

I c wat u did der Perzolino

[Julio.]

Imagine the following Situation

I'm a bog standard cop, SAPD Senior Officer etc, am patrolling with SMG and Deagle as standard etc...

I drive past Grove Street, and there are a group of about 10 people, Araatus and others, and practically every single one opens fire on me with Combat Shotguns, M4s etc.

Could this be considered bannable?
