Progress on Rockstars 2.0

[Marcell]

I pretty much agree with everything you said, but this quote specifically stood out to me. You're right, and the funny thing is, if criminals think they are falsely suspected, or don't want to be arrested, why not roleplay it by giving up and calling a lawyer to the scene, or a higher officer to investigate, or both? If someone roleplays the lawyer job well enough, you can argue with a cop for hours on their method of arrest to get out of a crime in a roleplayed fashion, just as a higher-ranking cop investigating things can do the opposite. People on both sides think if they shoot and kill, it will solve all the problems, but it's actually creating more if anything, and in the case of suspects, it's only making their escape time take longer

it's not so easy when all the cops focus on is the profit from jailing you, or the particular cop isn't interested in roleplaying such situation..it happens often that the only cops are freecops at the time. we could really use an uncrime command for higher ARPD staff, althou it could be abused

@stormas
big sorriii, ave told me the serv crashed after he tried to run off while a fire was being put off by him, im just paranoid since its few days until final 2.0 comes out

My idea for LU may be something VC:MP VCPD would be interested in. The basic idea, to prevent abuse, would be for only suspecting officers to be able to unsuspect their suspects, and then obviously admins can unsuspect anyone in abuse cases where the suspecting officer isn't available. Then Sergeants+ could investigate it, and if deemed invalid, order the officer to unsuspect their criminal or ask an admin to if the suspecting officer is unavailable or refuses. It would prevent abuse, and officers wouldn't abuse unsuspecting their own suspects since they have nothing to gain from doing so.

Server crashed every 5 minutes while we tried to test firefighter script.

And yeah, I'm looking for extended medic support, it's the class I really like to play in Battlefield 2, other games and even VC:MP; this skin will be pretty much needed at the very first stage of 2.0, when you can't die just for fun - you drop things if you not store them.

Medics could probably restock first aid kits at hospitals in order to heal others; this would prevent /c heal abuse. About income - dependable on players' injuries. For example, if medic heals players with less than 20HP, he gets much more than if injured guy has 90-95HP and calls for medical assistance.

The bugs in biz system, that is delivery/stocks/cars or whatever..... are assigned to me.
So Storm can create other scripts, while I try to fix them.

The prob is, it works fine when I try things.
But Im alone on a local server, so issues like script lag aint there.
Also I cant test things which involve more than 1 player (since I cant join VCMP from college).
Maybe ill be able to fix things when im home for vacations....coz seriously I dont know where the bugs are....

I did some changes in vehicle script, but Im not sure if it is perfect now....
The Vehicle invents need to be reset, maybe the bug is fixed after all.

Also, what exactly is the problem with restocking certain cars?
Names?
PCJ can be stocked by "pcj", Sentinel XS by just "xs", sabre turbo by "turb".
Just type in any 3-4 consecutive letters in the name of the vehicle....it will work.

Here are list of cars available and there stock price:

Stinger  300000                                           
Infernus  350000
Cheetah  320000
Banshee  300000
Phoenix  280000
Comet  280000
Angel  100000
Faggio  60000
Freeway  90000
Sanchez  90000
Sabre Turbo  300000
Deluxo  280000
Landstalker  100000
Idaho  75000
Stretch  200000
Manana  75000
//Voodoo  100000
Pony  70000
PCJ-600  100000
Esperanto  100000
Washington  100000
Bobcat  70000
BF Injection  100000
Cuban Hermes  120000
Stallion  85000
Sentinel XS  200000
Admiral  100000
Gang Burrito  120000
Caddy  50000
Oceanic  90000
Patriot  120000

Greenwood  85000
Blista Compact  90000
Boxville  100000
Mesa Grande  90000
Linerunner  100000

Cars not in that list are not available.
The more letters you type the better...like, if you type "ing" for ingram, the scripts will misunderstand it as stINGer and say "That item is not available for this biz".

That I do agree with. It's pretty much how it works in SA:MP, and as long as the income is kept low enough, I don't see an issue with it since anyone can freely donate to the Medics if they think they did a good job too.

[Marcell]

I think that medics should be able to heal small damage (75 HP minimum) outside of ambulances, medium damage (35 HP minimum) in ambulances, heavy damage (1 HP minimum) in hospitals...but then, no one would use medics - they would just go to food stores instead...maybe make it like, 1 heal while on foot, gotta restock in ambulance, infinite healings while in ambulance?

[Klaus]

no one would use medics - they would just go to food stores instead...

Food will probably give even less than it gave in 1.9. I don't think eating pizza will heal bullet wounds anymore.. Though I can only predict.

Also, aXXo I'm not impressed in not being able to buy a Bus :[

Oh Shit You Can Buy Voodoos ?  :3  :banana: Plus some problems I've Incountered ... One when you start VCMP and you enter the server ... there isn't a message stating if your login or not or A please Login Account ... That is a big problem ... also Idk if it is just me but no cars spawn even police cars ... what's up with that ?

I believe the first issue is known, but the second one is fairly odd...

Spawnscreen is messed up so sometimes you spawn on a clean map, with no cars and all players marked as dead. Happens quite often to me.

[Marcell]

voodoos need to be removed, hydraulics can crash whole server

and klaus, it all depends on owner's stock, highest price food can heal up to 100 hp, but can be only eaten while at place.

That issue should not exist.
I did get the login message everytime.

Cars not loading? Strange...
If the player's vehicle is not loading...then it is a script issue.
But Gov Vehicles not loading is likely a squirrel problem...maybe the server isnt loading correctly or there is a bug in server config.

[stormeus]

The last vehicle ID variable may be inaccurate.

[Marcell]

Is /c loot scripted yet? doesn't seem to work, yet doesn't give info about non existing command either

[XDie]

Why /c place doesn't work!? all the time tells me you are not in any property or business
