Hello, everyone
As a lot of you are now aware, I have been testing a lot on the main server some new features
These features, as a lot of you are already aware, are to do with vehicles
To be more precise, car modifications are now savable
As well as vehicle components being savable, paint jobs are also savable
Please read the following information very carefully on how to use the new features:
New Commands/savecar - opens up a menu screen with a list of different features that can be saved for your vehicle. All saved features will be kept whenever the vehicle is respawned or your log out and then come back later. Please keep reading for a list of these features.
/clearcar - opens up a menu screen with a list of features that can be cleared from your vehicle. Cleared features will no longer stay on your vehicle when it is respawned or you log out and then come back later. Please keep reading for a list of these features
On using /savecar, you will find the following list of savable features:
Spawn location $2500
Color $500
Paint job $2500
Modifications
The "Spawn location" option works the exact same way as /delivercar. This service still costs $2500.
The "Color" option works the exact same way as /paintcar except both colour IDs are the current colours your vehicle has. The way to use this correctly is to go to a vehicle modification garage and spray your vehicle a certain colour and then use /savecar and click on the "Color" option. This service still costs $500.
The "Paint job" option will save your vehicle's current paint job. Paint jobs are buyable at vehicle modification garages. This service costs $2500.
The "Modifications" option will open up the modification saving menu which will now be explained.
On using /clearcar, you will find the same menu except that the "Spawn location" option is gone as your vehicle's spawn location can't be reset back to a default location and also the prices won't be listed for the other features as clearing features is free of charge.
On clicking on the "Modifications" option you will be taken to the following menu:
Spoiler $5000
Hood $2000
Roof $4000
Sideskirt $5000
Lamps $1500
Nitrous Oxide
Exhaust $2000
Wheels $6000
Stereo $200
Hydraulics $30000
Front Bumper $8000
Rear Bumper $8000
Right Vent $5000
Left Vent $5000
Every option will save the chosen modification on your vehicle if your vehicle currently has the chosen modification.
The way to use this is to go to a vehicle modification garage and buy some modifications, then use /savecar, click on the "Modifications" option and then select the modifications you wish to save.
Please note that nitrous oxide has no price listed. This is because the ability to save nitrous oxide has been disabled until I can successfully control it properly.
I can see a lot of players getting confused by all of this and making silly mistakes, so please remember the following facts about this system:
/clearcar will remove modifications, but it will NOT give you back your money
Certain modifications may appear to be over-priced. The main reason for this is that if prices are lower, a lot more people will save modifications and it will look stupid and unrealistic for everyone to have modified cars all of the time!
People may ask why hydraulics are so much more expensive than all of the other modifications. There are a few reasons for this. One reason is that it would look the most unrealistic for everyone to have. Another reason is that they may actually offer some more mobility for your vehicle which is something you should pay extra for. The biggest reason for making hydraulics expensive is that actually in large numbers, vehicles with hydraulics can actually increase the number of crashes. Do not worry though, unless a lot of people gather with their cars, like for car shows on a regular basis, this will not be a problem.
I hope everyone enjoys this rather large update. If anyone has any questions or concerns please contact me as I made the system and I can help you. Please do not contact other developers such as CBFASI and Gimli if you have problems with this system as they are not yet familiar with it.
If you have any questions which are not answered in this topic either contact me in-game when I am not too busy or contact me on MSN or by forum PM. You may even post comments on my Facebook wall!
Word of advice, I actually respond fastest to Facebook wall posts
As for bugs, please report all of them in the bug report section of the forums instead of telling me about them in person as I will not remember to fix them and also bug reports are a form of record of previous bugs and currently existing bugs and is actually quite helpful.
Have fun, everyone!
:ps:
The features will be available after the next server restart
