Information Pickups

[Rusty]

Ok this might sound alotta crap but it can help New Players who haven't played on Argonath Servers before or even VC:MP.  I was thinking that you could use the "information" Pickup and when people pick it up it'll display certain Information about the Server like - Rules, Web Links,  General what-to-do's and What to-not-do's.  Just something i'd share and thought would come in useful.

You could even use it for in Houses/Business like walk into "Information" pickup and it'll display Owner details and Stuff if that's Possible.

Thank You Goodblue.

You could place them around Various places like Hospitals, Banks, VCPD HQ.  It'll give insight to players who don't know they'r way around and would like to know certain commands.

Actually... I think they should... The rule section is very important btw, it needs to be readed before playing on Argo, regardless of Inf Pickups.

The pickups idea is very good tho

What about this. Rule message in pink portal thingy like mta in pizza restaurant

GREAT IDEA  I think new players are too lazy to go looking at argonath website

thats what I mean  sry

[Watahell]

heh, now I understand what you mean BadRed I mean Goodblue

And I agree those  guys are very lazy to be bothered to go to Argo's website

[Call_me_Dad]

good idea
like, explaining the !heal command pickup near hospital
!suspect, !jail, etc. commands near vcpd hq

but web is needed to explain the server in brief
so a !web and !rules command should be initiated by a pickup near mansion etc. 

[Rusty]

Thanks for the positive replys guys.

Here's a few places they could place them -

Vercetti Estate - One Displaying the Main Rules
Hospitals - Giving Inf on Medic and !heal Command
Bank - Two One for how to Withdraw and Deposit Money and the other for How to make Money in the Game
VCPD HQ - One that'll give Inf on a cops Purpose and the Commands for Cops
Sunshine Autos - Inf on how to buy and Sell Cars and if they were jobs how to get a job there
 
and around various properties to give inf on ownership

Some people use slow net connection and/or slow pc's, going to argo to see the rules can mean 30mins wasted.
Rules displayed ingame, excellent idea.

As the other info pickups.

And there is a pick up with an "i" in it. It's the single player info pickup. It's available on VC:MP too

[Jnn]

Thats a very good idea. If there were info pickups I believe we would have less people asking what to do and what are rules for example.

[Rusty]

Thank you PMP & Jnn

[Jcstodds]

Good idea- Would be good for SA if it were possible.

[Rusty]

Probaly could do it for SA:MP aswell.

I think this is a very good idea, helps newbies, helps admins (use less time teaching newbies), reduces rule breaking from people misusing such things as cop commands and makes server more user friendly.
