remove the "5 cops need to be on duty"
SquirtleSquad replied to Teenyinnit's topic in Criminal Suggestions
No one is saying you can't commit crime. Just need to alter the crime you want to commit. Not going to entertain this argument of "hire more people for early hours" argument. That's an IC issue, not an OOC one, and not fully relevant to the conversation at hand. -
Make it script abusing to be evading with a car speaker
SquirtleSquad replied to addybeta's topic in Archive
It isn't a bug, and it's from the modview speaker, not the actual speaker that you buy in stores. You can thank GTAO for this feature. -
+1 this would be great!

Add Shift+Click to quick move items between inventories.

This isn't minecraft! +1 however, this would be great -
It's not about realism but about working with the current limitations of the system? Speakers are too inconsistent per the reasons I outlined, those coming into proximity. Currently the speakers are still inconsistent with queuing up songs, DJ's don't just have YouTube links that play from one song to the next. They generally have the songs on their PC and use that to transition. You're thinking too much on relying on YouTube to do this, compared to those playing from their PC, which is what they do here.

remove the "5 cops need to be on duty"
SquirtleSquad replied to Teenyinnit's topic in Criminal Suggestions
- 1 To allow for LEO to be able to roleplay back, otherwise it's just free money with little to no contesting. -
This isn't a thing that needs to be suggested as a server rule but could be considered for reworking the cuff mechanic. There doesn't need to be any OOC protocols to inform the player that they are to be cuffed, that's why there's a script minigame there to resist. I've seen plenty resist and be successful with it.

-1 to start off this with So, being in both PD and MD, here's the thing. Tasers interactivity of pacemakers have been investigated in regard to damage to the device, disruption of the arrythmia, and excess discharge of the device causing it to malfunction. With tasers emitting a high voltage at 5 seconds, it was found through a study, that it actually doesn't have a huge effect on the patient's pacemaker, and thus possibly stopping their heart, causing the device to over discharge, or cease functioning entirely. Additionally, if your character has a pacemaker, wouldn't they want to keep themself in a position to NOT be tased? Meaning wanting to comply with LEO demands of surrender. Based on the necessity of LEO not tasing a patient, you'd want to keep the wellbeing of your characters life in check. Now if there was unwarranted tasing, then sure, IA is valid, but if you continue to resist means of surrender for detainment, then in my own opinion, that'd be on you for not caring for your characters life. Here's my take from PD side: Additionally, how is LEO supposed to know a suspect has a pacemaker? How is PD expected to react when a suspect claims they have a pacemaker? Stop and verify with MD? How is PD supposed to react when a suspect is just being overly difficult and uncooperative? Unfortunately, there's a balance of realism and game mechanics, and how people can OOC react to the events and just ignore it. If you were tased, you would be incapacitated, but you wouldn't get up and keep running. Here, per server rules, you don't have to RP the effects of a taser and can end up being tased over and over again. From MD's side: There's no prescription for a pacemaker. You aren't "prescribed" a pacemaker. One is placed under the skin of the patient near the heart, with two wires coming from the device, and into the heart's upper chambers, delivering small electrical discharges to keep the heart in rhythm. A prescription is something that you can take to a pharmacist, or an optometrist to have medication, medical equipment, or glasses/contacts. A pacemaker does not fall under a "prescription", and thus wouldn't be available for LEO's to see and verify the validity of the individuals claims. This would require history, knowledge, and communication from MD and MD personal who have access to AMU's patient records. Additionally, you do NOT need to just experience a "heart attack" to have a pacemaker installed. In some instances, a person experiencing a heart attack may require a pacemaker, but that is not a definitive case for it. There are other heart conditions that would require a need for a pacemaker installed. Next thing you know, everyone on the server needs a pacemaker, and no one can be tased.

Camera prop screenshots show "/ame" at the bottom

This should be resolved now with updates pushed on 21/AUG/2024 -
Law Enforcement's Air Support Division is all regulated through internal policy, and their current use has not been over the top during the times I play. However, it is also not uncommon to see helicopters in the city the game is based off of. That said, this is more of an IC policy than it is a server based rule suggestion.

I think this has more to do if there are no DOC on duty. If you log off and all the doors are shut, and log back in, you're stuck in the cell until one come on duty, or you're released. +1 this idea to help crims out to be able to be little gremlins and make their money so we can chase you all outside of DOC

It was to automate the toll booths per the OP, but the title does show adding 2 more -
Automated Toll system in and out of LS
SquirtleSquad replied to olowepolo's topic in Game Suggestions
I feel this is something needed to SD, PD and MD when they have lights running. The number of times me responding to a Medical call and having to spend at MOST 5 seconds to type and wait for the gate to go up in an ambulance is a minor annoyance. I'd +1 the idea of emergency vehicles with lights and sirens running to have the gate auto open. -

As Ash said, there's a work in progress command, which is outlined here: -
Hello and welcome! You can purchase cars from Dealerships across the map. Their locations can be marked with icons on your GPS, you can look at the Legend for names, or you can ask people in game. Taxi drivers are a wealth of information, in addition to a ride to their location, so utilize them! Additionally, there are 3 Used car lots, also marked on your map with a Red Car icon: Low-End (Cars under $50,000), High-End (Cars over $50,000), and Paleto (Cars over $50,000). Feel free to check them out, but as you're new, I'd head to Low-End which is near the Airport. To park or unpark your car, on your GPS there are tealish color Garage Icons. There are two locations, one at Legion Square, and one at Paleto. At Legion Square, if you drive up to the parking booth, you can type /park to park your car, and when you want to unpark it, hit "Y" and select it from the menu. You will have ti drive pretty close to the booth to park it. If you sit there a few minutes, you can observe another player parking their car to get an idea of where that spot is. At Paleto, there's a blue circle icon you can drive up to and type /park and again hit "Y" to select it from the menu to unpark it. Regarding what you want to do, the worlds your oyster. You can start doing Freelance jobs which are indicated with the yellow briefcase icon. I'd suggest Burgershot (Denoted with a red B) or Roadworkers, near Casino on Elgin Ave. Both jobs offer good pay, and a lot of player interaction so you can learn more about the city, what to do, and make friends.

Purpose of this guide The goal of this guide is to go into more detail on common issues players have when they are trying to connect to ECRP through RageMP. Sometimes, RageMP works, and then the next minute it just refuses to connect or refuses to launch. Below are some outlined steps that you can try, to get the issue resolved on your own. This guide may not entirely resolve your issue, but it will resolve the majorities. It is your responsibility to read through the instructions entirely. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Common issues These are common issues the players will face when trying to connect to ECRP through the RageMP launcher. Common issues that this guide will aim to resolve are: GTA loading indefinitely GTA loading, then taking the player to Storymode a.k.a Single Player GTA loading a black screen, requiring a forced shut down GTA not launching at all ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Pre-check Here are some things that should be looked at BEFORE you attempt any of the steps below. Most of these take a few moments to check off, before the instructions below which can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours to resolve. So, ask yourself the following questions before you move onwards: Are you allowing Universal Access Control (UAC) to launch the game? When you launch certain games, you will be greeted with a pop-up from Windows asking, "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?" with the options of "Yes" or "No" As long as you have downloaded RageMP's installer and ran through the official installer, you can click "Yes" with confidence. This will allow the client to launch GTA 5 from your library, whether Epic, Rockstar Launcher, or Steam with the correct permissions and allow the Easy Anti-Cheat to instantiate properly hooking into the game. EAC is required to connect to the server. Did you restart your PC? Something as simple as restarting your PC can resolve a majority of the issues players face. This is especially true when your game just crashed, and you cannot relaunch into the game. While Windows does try to do it's best to close down all programs associated with the parent program, some processes can get stuck indefinitely, and cause another instance of the same main application to fail to initialize. A simple full restart will clear this out from RAM and kill off any processes still running on the CPU. Have you installed any new mods? If you've installed any new mods, uninstall them and see if the game will launch. If so, refer back to the instructions for your mod and ensure you're adding the appropriate files to the RageMP folder and only applicable files to the GTA 5 Game Directory. Do you have mods installed from other servers; FiveM, custom overlays, custom plugins, custom mods non-graphical If you're using any FiveM, GTA Singleplayer, or GTAO mods installed directly into your GTA 5 folder, uninstall them and try launching the game. Some mods will play not load with RageMP fine, others may cause issues, particularly scripthook.dll, which you should not have installed to play. Is it just a black screen? This issue is a bit harder to determine what the outcome is, but commonly if someone is using OneDrive, and are backing up their "Documents" folder, this can cause an issue with Windows not having the files fully sync'd on their system. To check open up Windows Explorer, in the Quick Finder on the left side, click on the cloud icon "Name - Personal", then "Documents" and scroll down until you see a folder called "Rockstar Games". There, right click the folder and make sure the option "Always keep on this device" is checked off. This will force Windows to always keep these files on your computer as opposed to uploading it to OneDrive to keep them in sync. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Steps Step 1: Restart your PC. If you skimmed through this guide to come to the steps, then restart your PC. It's the least time consuming thing that you can try before moving on to the next steps. Step 2: Open up your RageMP folder, and delete your client_resources folder. Sometimes the files can be hashed wrong or corrupted, and deleting the client resources folder can fix the issue of the game not loading. If you installed the RageMP at the default location, then it'll be under C:\RageMP. Highlight the folder and hit delete. Then launch RageMP as you normally would and connect to the ECRP server. The client will automatically start downloading the servers assets again, so you won't have to do anything. Step 3: Uninstall RageMP completely. There are two ways to do it. You can delete everything in the RageMP folder but updater.exe or you can use Windows uninstaller to uninstall RageMP. Deleting Files: If you are deleting the everything in the folder, make sure you do not delete the updater.exe file. After deleting it, empty your Recycling Bin, and then double click the updater.exe file to start reinstalling the latest RageMP client files. After that, you can try to connect to ECRP and see if the game loads. Uninstalling via Windows: If you want to use Windows to uninstall, then right click the Start Button and select "Installed apps" or "Programs". There, you can scroll or search for RAGE Multiplayer and uninstall it. Once that's done, make sure that the RageMP folder is deleted entirely. After that, you can download RageMP and run through the installer again. Step 4: If the above didn't work, you will then need to verify your game files through whatever platform you run Grand Theft Auto V through. Steam: Find the game in your library Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon and select "Properties" In the pop up window, select Installed Files Click on "Verify integrity of game files" Wait for the scan to conclude and Steam to down the files Launch GTA V and run through any installers Launch RageMP and connect to the server Epic Games: At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined here. Rockstar Launcher: At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher, however you can follow the directions outlined here. Step 5: This is a big annoying step, uninstalling GTA V entirely. Sometimes even with verifying the game, installing any mods for Single Player could have been lost or missed when removing them, or there's a corrupted file the verification process did not pick up on. With that, you'll need to fully uninstall the game and reinstall it. Steam: Locate the game in your Library Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon, select "Manage" and select "Uninstall" Let Steam run through the entire Uninstall process Afterwards, you can reinstall the game You may need to run through Step 3 again with RageMP to make sure that Rage detects where the game is installed at. Epic Games: At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined here. Rockstar Launcher: At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher. Step 6: This last step to get the game to work for you, would be uninstalling Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club. Right click the Windows Start button and select "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and look for "Rockstar Games Launcher". On Windows 11, you can search for the name of this application. Click on the application and start the uninstall progress. When prompted, you want to make sure you check off "Remove saved Social Club profile data" AND "Remove currently installed game data from your computer". This ensures that when you go to reinstall Rockstar Games Launcher, that it'll be a fresh new copy. After uninstalling it, check the "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and see if Rockstar Games Social Club is installed. If it is, please uninstall it as well. There should be no checkbox options to select from, so you can go through the entire process of uninstalling it. Steam: After you uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club, located Grand Theft Auto V in your game library, and click on "Play". As the Launcher and Social Club are uninstalled, this will prompt you to install both applications automatically from Steam. Make sure you follow the steps and have both programs installed. After that, Steam MAY close the game due to it taking too long to start, or launch you into the game into Storymode. You want to make sure you load the game all the way to Storymode before you try and connect to Eclipse Roleplay, as the game needs to generate the necessary settings files for the game. Once you have loaded into Storymode, you can go ahead and close the game and try to connect to ECRP through RageMP. Epic Games: At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games. Rockstar Launcher: You will need to manually download the Rockstar Games Launcher, which you can find here on Rockstars own website. This should also install the Social Club as well. ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Still not working? If none of the above instructions have worked AND you've read through each step, please make a Technical Support ticket through our ECRP Discord. You may be asked to provide photos of the issue you're encountering and telling us what you've all tried will help eliminate repeating steps. To share images of the issue, you'll need to upload them to an image hosting site like Imgur, ImgBB, or otherwise and paste the URL into the Discord ticket. Do not reach out to me via Discord Private Messages for additional troubleshooting. Your best bet is to make a ticket on the ECRP Discord for assistance.
