We welcome Xylum to Eclipse RP's server development team. Already one of our most powerful assets, he is motivated to create great things with heavy stress testing involved to ensure there are no complications for players and strives to ensure our server will be ready for release Forum UpdatesRecently we've released our vehicle blacklist so players and take a look at some of the vehicles they won't be able to obtain in-game.https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/threads/player-vehicle-blacklist.98/[spoiler=New User groups] The Donator group is available to any and all that donate an amount of or greater than $5. You can donate by logging into the Game Panel and click donate. Donators have access to a private Donator board on the forums. If you see a yellow leadership group on a member this means that they are a leader in the specified faction. They will share some of the same powers as the faction holder. These groups are only offered to faction leaders of legal factions that are created by the admins. Donation RewardsFor donating to the community we will in return give you in-game credits which you can use to buy some perks. With credits you'll be able to buy some cosmetic things and other things you might enjoy. You won't be able to buy weapons or other things that may give you an advantage in the server. This is because we DO NOT believe in "Pay to Play Roleplay."[spoiler=Credits]The minimum donation amount is $5. 100 Credits is equivalent to $1$5 | 500 Credits (No Bonus)$10 | 1,000 Credits(No Bonus)$15 | 1,500 Credits(+ 100 Bonus Credits) = 1,600 Credits$20 | 2,000 Credits( + 150 Bonus Credits ) = 2,150 Credits$25 | 2,500 Credits( +200 Bonus Credits) = 2,700 Credits$50 | 5,000 Credits( + 500 Bonus Credits ) = 5,500 Credits$100 | 10,000 Credits( +1,500 Bonus Credits) = 11,500 Credits Club VIP MembershipWe will have a VIP rank in-game that can be purchased with credits.

Dev Blog #5 Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/f3rjB3f Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Eclipse-Roleplay-430965980405661/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rp_eclipse Game Panel Re-written Our Game Panel has been completely re-written with a better design, and cooler features. You will be able to login to the Game Panel using your forum account once we release the Game Panel. Although some features will not be fully functional until the release of Eclipse RP. Donations page will be fully functional as soon as the Game Panel is released. Authentication(How to Login) The Game Panel now shares the same authentication as our forums, and future Eclipse RP server. This allows you to have 1 username and password for everything here at Eclipse RP instead of attempting to mange several passwords. [spoiler=Screenshots] Dashboard Once logged in you'll be able to view some character data such as how much money you have, information about your businesses, and jobs. Starting out in Eclipse Roleplay you'll be able to have up to 2 character slots so you'll be able to live 2 different in-game lives. You may also apply to join a faction! [spoiler=Screenshots] Apply for Faction You'll be able to apply for a faction on the Game Panel. The faction leaders will be able to view your application and they will even be able to accept/deny your application. [spoiler=Screenshots] Faction Management Faction leaders will be able to fully manage their faction from the Game Panel. From promotions, to demotions, to kicking out members. They will also be able to see their applications, and view ranks, create, delete, and set ranks. They faction will be able to view their roster on Game Panel as well. [spoiler=Screenshots] Donations As we've been asked a few times about donations we will be accepting donations from those that would like to donate to the community. In return for your donation we will give you credits in game. Credits can be used to buy some items in game in the game but we will ensure that this isn't a pay to play. You will not be able to get any large advancements in the game. You also won't be able to get free weapons in the game. More details about the Credit shop will come out in later Dev Blogs. Since we will be releasing the Game Panel very soon you'll simply only enter in a custom amount. Once Eclipse RP releases we will be giving credits to those that have donated before release with a custom amount. NOTE: THE AMOUNTS SHOWN IN THE SCREENSHOT BELOW ARE FOR PREVIEW ONLY. THOSE AMOUNTS WILL CHANGE ON THE RELEASE OF ECLIPSERP [spoiler=Screenshots]

Dev Blog #4 Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/f3rjB3f Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Eclipse-Roleplay-430965980405661/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rp_eclipse New Authentication We've changed our authentication method up a bit. You'll be using your forum account in order to play Eclipse if you don't have a forum account yet I recommend creating one so you have an account to play. However your forum username doesn't have to be your roleplay name because once you login you'll be able to create up to 3 characters each with a different roleplay name. Character Customization Character Customization allows you full control over the appearance and look of your character. You should be able to be who you want and roleplay who you want to be without any problems! Using character customization will give your player a different appearance than everyone else and it'll allow you to become your own individual. You'll also be able to create more than 1 character after login and then select the character you wish to play. [spoiler=Character Customization] Garbage Job One of the top jobs I think you all will be enjoying in Eclipse is the garbage job. All over Los Santos and Blaine County you can expect to see our citizens are very messy people. You'll have the joy of collecting trash around the map and earning the big bucks! When you start the garbage job your very own garbage truck will spawn beside you. This will stop others from hogging all the trucks as if they were spawned statically. When you quit the job your truck will despawn so make sure you quit it somewhere near you car or be ready to call a taxi! [spoiler=Garbage Job] Mining Job In Eclipse-RP one of our many jobs will be Mining. With mining you can collect metal and sell your metal resources to industries that require it such as Vehicle Manufacturing. [spoiler=Mining Job] Mechanic Job A mechanic can repair a car anywhere they are kinda like road side assistance. The mechanic will be able to decide on their own on how much they want to charge for their repair. There may be more things for mechanics to do once more vehicle systems are created. So stay tuned! ATMs We've given almost every ATM we could functionality in-game. You'll be able to find all of our ATMs using the map. The ATMs are defined by the '$' symbol. At an ATM we've designed a UI allowing you to make quick and smooth transactions without you having the trouble of looking at a list of commands to figure out how to desposite cash, or withdraw the cash you plan to use on your new car! [spoiler=ATMs] Car System To maximize your roleplay efforts we've added a little something extra to the car system. At any car you'll be able to individual open the trunk, hood, or car doors by simply running up to a door, hood, or trunk and pressing the 'o' key on your keyboard. Many of our cops will enjoy this feature! [spoiler=Car System] Dropped Items In Eclipse-RP you'll be able to drop your items and instead of vanishing in thin air they will appear in a box on the ground creating garbage or goods for others to pickup. [spoiler=Dropped Items] Game Panel Re-Written The previous Game Panel was disabled and we've decided to have the entire panel re-written. So we've begun work on the new Game Panel which will be using XenForo authentication just like your in-game account. With this rather HUGE required task we've also taken on another Developer please welcome Scowen who will be our new web developer. He will also be helping with UI development for Eclipse-RP. The Game-Panel should be available again soon. Dynamic Faction System We've began work on the Dynamic Faction System and so far we've made great progress. We currently can create a faction and it's rank groups with in-game commands without the need to restart the script. This system will allow us to create more factions, and delete them on the fly in-game. As we grow in player base ... more and more factions will appear which means more jobs and more leadership opportunities. Any player will be able to use this system to create their own faction, create and manage faction groups and customize their permissions and equipment. All player made factions will have equal possibilities, their success will only depend on the abilities of their members. As we are still working hard on this system we don't have any screenshots just yet to show. Eclipse Games Protect The President We've completed pre-release development for protect the president for Eclipse Games. It will be all good to go by public release of the GTA:N client. [spoiler=Protect The President]

Hello, As time is continuing to move closer and closer towards the release of the GTA:Network client you all can expect some changes to occur. The most visible one to you all will be this recent change in the look of the forums. We've modified the forums to suit our theme better. More and more things will start to take shape and prepare for the GRAND release of Eclipse Roleplay. Our team here at Eclipse is excited about both of our servers Eclipse Games and Eclipse RP. Over the past week or so I have been getting a lot of questions and comments on when the next Dev Blog will be. You all can expect one soon. I plan to create a youtube video for the next Dev Blog so you all can visually see some of the features we will have in action. Around this time in pre-release stage we would like to invite all members of the community to step forward. LSPD applications have recently opened up and is currently being managed by harmdone. If you have interest in joining LSPD please check out https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/threads/applying-for-lspd-now.47/ We are also looking for someone to play the role of the Government. This person will lead the Government factions after release and this person will also be in-charge of writing the initial laws for San Andreas. If you are interested in doing so please give me a forum PM. Last but not least if you have any rule suggestions or any suggestions at all for the community weather it be a change in the forums or an additional feature please post those under suggestions. All suggestions will be reviewed and discussed by the Eclipse Team. Thank you, Eclipse RP

Hello Everyone, Our team here at Eclipse Network would like to thank you all for being apart of our community. Our developers including myself have been working hard on Eclipse RP and Eclipse Games the past few days. I've personally been more focused with Eclipse RP. Just wanted to let you all know we are currently in closed beta with the GTA:Network mod and we are developing and testing our scripts. Since closed beta is expected to only be about 2 weeks we've been keep ourselves busy and haven't had much time to make any post up until now. We also wanted to let you all know that your forum account is your in-game account. So on release day you will not be required to register a new account instead you may simply login using your forum account. Any new community members after release will be able to register their forum account in-game and also on the forums. We are planning to have a dev blog posted soon..... But if you all have any questions feel free to ask here or in discord and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Eclipse RP

Hello everyone! We have some big announcements that we would like to share! A lot of you may know that GTA:Network Closed Beta was launched. ECLIPSE Developers received it too! What does it mean? Well, development of our roleplay and games server are going to go significantly faster. Also, we have some dates we would like to share. Eclipse GAMES will be launched on the release day of GTA:Network public version. Eclipse ROLEPLAY will be launched in the following several weeks (2-3 weeks after release)! We are so excited with the possibilities of the client. We can't wait for you all to play on our network! Also we are going to post development blogs and a lot of new screenshots way more frequently.

Hello!

Hello Everyone, We are going to reveal major features in detail to you all a step at a time to get everyone's motivation and attention as we continue to develop the server. So for this week I would like to present to you one of the first features we will intensively be working on once we receive the latest client and server API is 'The Economy' Feature Reveal: The Economy So we have been working hard on perfecting our economy. In the past a lot of SAMP servers faced an issue where there was such a large inflation due to a number of players earning up to hundreds of millions of dollars. Due to such an inflation prices for rare items, and properties as well as vehicles only got higher. Well at Eclipse-RP we have found a solution to combat this issue from happening to us. However we do encourage in-game entrepreneurs and with a successful business it is possible that you will be able to earn millions, hundreds of millions, and even maybe a few billion. This economy is designed to be as realistic as the American economy just with lesser inflation. However your success will depend on the player base and your customers. So at the start of the server don't expect that owning a business you'll be an insta-millionaire. Money Control Money will tightly be controlled. Rather than spawning money for each individual player who completes a job. Money will only be provided to the Government, and Industries starting out who then pay the player. The Government has the ability to print a specific amount of money strategically without damaging the economy or else they will have to begin burning money. Industries will receive grants from the Government that come from the bank to help them kick start their business and pay their employees. Player Owned Businesses will be started from cash that the player has earned or by a bank loan. Each new player adds money to the economy as every new player will have a starting amount in their bank. Banking System In every economy it starts with a bank. An organization in charge of printing the money, loans, and even supplying the Government with grant money to help starting businesses. Players will be able to own a credit card with a limit but will pay back the card with an interest rate Players who store their money in the bank rather on-hand will receive benefits of interest and security. Industrial System The industrial system is key part to having both a successful way and a source of income for players. The industrial will pretty much handle all the transactions between player owned businesses, as well as paying the miners, and farmers for the resources they sell to an industry. Industries are not player owned but there is debate allowing Gangs to control these industries as a legal side of their criminal organization. This will be one way a gang will be able to source income for gang territory, and vehicles. We plan to have the following industries Oil Company Miners will supply oil resources to the oil company. [*]Vehicle Manufacture Miners will supply metal to the vehicle manufacture Farmers will supply rubber and cotton to the vehicle manufacture [*]Agriculture Industry Farmers will supply food resources to the agriculture industry [*]Clothing Industry Farmers will supply cotton to the clothing industry [*]Firearm Manufacture Miners will supply metal resource to firearm industry. (In future updates other resources will be added for firearms like gunpowder) Taxes Sales Tax Every item purchased will have a sales tax accept for food. Sales taxes will go to the Government bank. Income Tax The Government will be able to tax all classes of citizens. This is so if your a lower class(player with little money) the Government will not take all of it. As of upper class(rich citizens) the government will take more of your money away because you can afford it. Upper Class Middle Class Lower Class Jobs Miner Resources: Metal, Oil Mine Locations: Mines will be visible on the map. Exact location TBD. Gathering Duration: Metal(8 Seconds); Oil(10 Seconds) Payment: Is paid by an industry at a rate of x dollars per 1 resource. [*]Farmer Resources: Rubber, Cotton, Food Farm Locations: Farming Locations will be visible on the map. Exact location TBD. Gathering Duration: Rubber(8 Seconds); Cotton(10 Seconds); Food(8 seconds) Payment: Is paid by an industry at a rate of x dollars per 1 resource. [*]Truck Driver Duty: Delivers products to businesses that place an order. Payment: Is paid a percentage of every delivery. Business Types A lot of business types have been discussed but here is a few that you may see in Eclipse: Arms Dealer Products From: Firearm Manufacturer Limitations: Military weapons will not be available to the public. [*]7/11 Market(& Gas Station) Products From: Agriculture Industry & Oil Company Limitations: Gas is heavily taxed by Government. [*]Clothing Store Products From: Clothing Industry Limitations: Government skins will be restricted. [*]Car Dealership Products From: Vehicle Manufacture Limitations: Government Vehicles and overly huge vehicles will be unavailable. [*]Aircraft Dealership Products From: Vehicle Manufacture Limitations: Government Vehicles will be restricted. [*]Boat Dealership Products From: Vehicle Manufacture Limitations: Government Vehicles will be restricted. [*]Fast Food Restaurant Products From: Agriculture Industry Limitations: If you over order stock your food will spoil if not sold in a # of days. Future Ideas: Constant eating of fast food will get obese and your run speed will be decreased. [*]Dine-In Restaurant Products From: Agriculture Industry Limitations: If you over order stock your food will spoil if not sold in a # of days.

Hello everyone! I hope you guys are as excited as we are for Eclipse Network. Both me and Osvaldon were very busy in our lives, but progress is still being made! Eclipse Games The base foundation/structure of this server has been polished to correctly manage and handle hundreds of game modes on the same server. Also it should be known that Eclipse Games will launch first, after it will follow our role play server. I am personally very excited about seeing this multi-gamemode server system, because it will bring all people to one server and it will remove the discomfort of switching servers if you want to try a different gamemode! Report List In the previous blog we had shown you a picture of a report form. Now we will show you the report list and explain how it works. Basically, it works like a queue. Oldest reports are always displayed on top, though despite being newer, high priority reports (red) are listed above low priority (grey) reports. An admistrator can choose to attend to a report, which will indicate that the report is being processed. Administrators are able to read the report details by clicking the eye icon. [spoiler=Report List] Ban System The ban system allows administrators to ban users for a specified amount of time. Bans store all data required to write an unban form. Banned users are able to copy an already filled unban application form by clicking the "Copy" button, which results in the following: [spoiler=Ban Interface] Vehicle Dealership When looking for a new car, knowing the name and price is not enough. When viewing merchandise, our vehicle dealership interface displays an image of the current vehicle, it's name, class, price, fuel capacity and usage. In addition, vehicles have a custom storage capacity to store items using our inventory system. Finally, the interface provides a vehicle rating, which consists of maximum speed, acceleration rate, handling (steering) and the efficiency of braking throughout the same type of vehicles (land, water, air).

Hello, Eclipsers! Roleplay Server We've spent a lot of time during the past few weeks constructing the foundation of Eclipse-RP. We aim to make most things dynamic so change can be done in game rather than having to reboot the server everytime we wish to do a script change. As we are moving closer and closer to the release of the GTA:N client we will have an open ear to the community for any suggestions they wish to provide us with. You can stay in contact with us using Discord. Anyone and everyone is welcome. Businesses Petrol Station Clothes Shop General Store [*]ATMs [*]Gangs/Factions [*]Authentication These are a few screenshots of the UI but are still currently being modified and developed... [spoiler=ATM] [spoiler=Factions/Gangs] [spoiler=Authentication] [spoiler=Notifications] Extras As you may already know, we are planning to bring more than one server into this community. Alongside our main roleplay server, there is also going to be smaller gamemode servers or a mini-gamemode servers. Though, these extra gamemodes are not our main priority and we cannot promise a date of when they will be ready for launch. Battle Royale Battle Royale features a deathmatch environment where all players spawn in random points of a huge circular area. Over time this area shrinks slaying any player outside that boundary. Once a player dies, he cannot respawn while the round is active, therefore, the last remaining survivor is declared the winner. Protect the President Protect the President is a team based gamemode, where terrorists attempt to assassinate the president, while the presidential escort tries to get the president into an escape vehicle (ex.: aircraft) safe and sound. The team that completes their objective first, receives extra points and is announced the winner of the round.

So guys! I know you all enjoy Grand Theft Auto 5, but what are your ranks in CS:GO? My is Global Elite.

Suh dude!

Hello, Eclipsers! New staff members! The past few weeks we've been searching hard for two suitable people to assist us with the Eclipse Network. I think we've managed to do so. That being said I would like to introduce everyone to: Dylan Tam (Harmdone) Together with Osvaldon and NobodyLTU they will be working hard toward making Eclipse Network possible. Forum update Lately we've been searching for a forum software that would be suitable for our community and need. As you all may have noticed we've migrated from 'myBB' to 'XenForo'. This switch will increase the security of our community, support larger numbers, and everyone will now be able to format text quite nicely using this software. Development Blogs Soon we will begin posting some development blogs so you all can see our progress. Even without the client we plan to start making some blogs on all of the work we've done so far. Lately we've been making some great strides in our development progress and we can't wait to share our progress with the community. Thanks for reading! NobodyLTU

Hello, Everyone! Today we will like to announce the new Game-Panel . You will be able to see all of your character information and you'll also be able to manage it. The Panel system is still work in progress and everything is subject to change. However we are still adding features and improving upon the Game-Panel. We would also like to announce a new member in the ECLIPSE-RP developing team - Osvaldon - C# Developer
