What you mean is that the text labels which display the price get bugged at high end and you think that it should reset the text label to show how much the vehicle is when you get into it?

How I tend to approach it is if the weapon is clearly visible, then I proceed accordingly. Like if you have a t-shirt and a gun on your waist, I can see that shit, i'm not blind. But if for example you have a long coat and it's only clipping through it, then I ignore it.

Eh let's be clear, you can donate 10 euros to support the server. If you are spending 80, you are looking for something. I was halfway through writing the original suggestion and thought to myself, hmm I can see where the problems arise. The suggestion of each character gets a stock version of that vehicle is fantastic, but I would add that only one version of that vehicle could be deployed in the world at that time. Anything else defeats the purpose of donating for a rare car. Essentially if you were in a gang, you could give the two sets of car keys to someone and they are driving around two different versions of one car that you've paid for. I can see why it is like it is, because it is a lot simpler script wise, but it's overly restrictive. I think if they altered in the ways we are talking about, essentially that is going to make the donation vehicles more appealing to buy which in turn is going to support the server more and dare I say it, make the founders more money. Everyone is then a winner.

Im not a fan of failure to pay a fine thing being automatic because it takes away officer discretion then. I don't think any charges should be automatically applied, at all. Usually, if I have someone who hasn't paid their fines within the time and they aren't already going to jail/prison, i'll let them off if they settle all their tickets. Having to take someone to jail for a five minute sentence, seems a little pointless for both parties and if you can avoid it, then I would.

I don't want to give away too much IC information here but chop shops exist, for stolen vehicles. Right now, you go there and you do a command and anxiously wait on one ass cheek to see if you will be able to get through your chop without someone coming to fuck with you. I know all this, and I like it anyway. That being said, as this is a suggestions forum, I'd like to make a couple suggestions. Chopping Skill You can either suggest that it's you that's chopping the car, or there is a team there chopping the vehicle for you. Either way, the more times you do it, the better the relationship you'd build with the chopshop. As a result of this, I'd either like to see some reductions in the amount of time you wait or the amount of money you get from doing it. Let's not go crazy and suggest both, because that's greedy but for repeat customers, the chop shop team working quicker for you or letting you have a bigger cut makes in-character sense. All the jobs in Eclipse sadly keep you at ground zero every time you do them (they don't reward you extra for more repetition) so having something like that is an extra incentive to a task that really requires you to do absolutely nothing but sit there. Now, failing a chopping skill. Perhaps something a little more basic. Perhaps you can trade some of your profit for a quicker job with a bribe. Premise is pretty simple, you could get x amount of time off the chop for x% of the money you get. If I were to hypothetically get 3k for example for a kitty litter tray with wheels, then I would sacrifice say like $300 for say a minute and a half off the chopping time. If you're with a big group, there is a security in that but when it's just you out there, seconds do count. I still would like a decent wait period there so it doesn't become too safe, but I think being able to buy a little convenience would be absolutely fine.

I'm on the fence about the donator vehicles. I kind of feel like if there is perhaps one that interests me at the right price, I might be tempted to buy one but if I understood what someone told me correctly, the donator vehicles in addition to not being sell-able (which is fine) are also specific to the character you buy them on. I'm sure there is some practical reason for this that is just not apparent, but I feel like at the very least if you've dropped 30.. 50.. 80 euros on a vehicle, you should be able to drive it on any of your character's accounts. If it's to stop people moving items from character to character, then you can just put an inventory lock on items placed by other characters on that account. Anyone that aids you in transferring items from character to character without prior approval would be breaking the rules. You could keep the ownership as the character you've purchased it on, but just automatically give a permanent key to your other characters.

Date and time (provide timezone): All the time. Character name: Dezzy Bala Issue/bug you are reporting: When you are jailed in the Sheriff Station and your time is served, you spawn at Mission Row in Los Santos. Expected behavior: Well, you should spawn outside the sheriffs station, since you're jailed there, not teleport across the map. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Go to jail in Paleto. Serve your time. Be released. End up 6km away in a different building.

Life is unfair, stealing a police vehicle for the most part is a very stupid thing to do. It's almost like you are asking to be jailed.

To be honest, it seems kinda stupid for people to pay their tickets to an officer anyway. We're police officers, not travelling insurance salesmen. Let's face it, no one is getting semi hard over the role-play of paying a ticket to an officer, we're just convenience for people to not have to go to Mission Row. That being said, I don't think it's unreasonable for people to pay their tickets via their phone (since particularly with the SPED cameras you get the alert anyway) or by going to the Sheriffs or LSPD stations.) For me, get rid of the police ticket paid to an officer and add the option to pay it over your phone.

Not even remotely greek, but you better bet your ass the second I hear the accent, I'll yell either Kalimera or EISVOLI!

Those cheap bobby pins are giving me life.

The story begins with tradition. A tradition born of necessity from the old country, where political figures were corrupt and the common people had no justice. There were some that realised they could not change the cards they were dealt but how they played the game. Over the years, the organisations evolved and splintered across the homeland before seeking new horizons and opportunities, much like Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus had so many years before them. Sempre Fame, a small group of such settlers found their way to Old Los Santos and settled into life and into business. Through the leadership of Vincenzo Mangano, they flourished and prospered for over two decades, in the same world as the Alessio Crime Famiglia and the Iron Curtain itself, Sovetskaya Bratva. But as with all things, time lead to the inevitable. Some fell through greed, some through bad decisions and some simply to the RICO predicate. Fleeing the same kind of corrupt politicians that had plagued the people so long ago, Sempre Fame dissolved and once again, divided across the cities and the states of America, searching for new opportunities in a new world. Once such group, Sempre Neapolitan "Always Neapolitan" landed in a New Los Santos. Complete strangers to the town but all too familiar with the world, ready to write the next chapter in an age old history. First and foremost, to conduct themselves with honour, respect and dignity in all things. To never beg for your life, to never negotiate with someone that asks too much and to commit no act which brings shame on this thing of ours. To never take from someone that cannot afford to lose what they have. To be wise in defeat and humble in victory. To be loyal to friends and fierce to enemies. To actively try to avoid law enforcement when possible. (( Basically, we're not looking for trouble from PD/SD and the idea is to try and stay out of jail, not do things to welcome it. )) Try not to hide behind masks and instead, rely on more tempered responses and actions with this in mind. (( To try to prioritise the role-play, over the outcome whenever possible. )) (( To set a good standard of faction roleplay )) We're a part time faction of alt accounts. This faction and it's role-play is our vacation of sorts from other factions. Membership is on an invite only basis. While it might be an alt faction and something we only commit part of our playing time to, we aim to add something that we feel lacking in the server and that's a certain standard of quality mafia role-play. We don't need or want an official faction sized member count, it's much harder to keep what you want your faction to be, the more people you add to it. We don't need to win every situation or to be the biggest faction or the toughest faction or this or that, the reputation we want to build is one of a respectful organisation to do business with in-character. We don't need to be the first name on everyone's lips, just as long as we're in the conversation. Obviously if people want to behave in a disrespectful way, then we're prepared to fight back but not actively looking to start wars with people over nothing.

Date and time (provide timezone): Any time. Character name: Dezzy Bala Issue/bug you are reporting: Calling 911 and specifying Police, only mentions LSPD. Expected behavior: When you specify Police, it should also mention the Sheriffs Department as they see the 911 calls too. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Call 911 Specify Police instead of Medic or Both. Watch for the reply. Vehicle license plate number*:

More transparency for rule breaking would make a look of sense, particular for those that have a previous history of punishments. I have Non RP #1 myself, and I didn't get jailed. So, I'd only be assuming that if I got Non RP #2 then i'd be jailed.

Personally, I think the biggest gangs in the server being so friendly with one another is bad for criminal roleplay overall. You don't want all out war but at the same time, don't team up like you're the Avengers to kill a 10 man civilian faction. That being said though, if you hold onto your top spot by playing nice, why would you risk it? If Triads and Zetas geniunely get along with one another then you can't force roleplay upon them to fight. You can maybe encourage them to fight by adding the turfs in or whatever but even then, if they were content with how things were for them personally then what can you do? As for shooting at cops, I mean, bippidy boppidy. If people are shooting at cops to get away with murder or robbery, I say fair game. You've got to let a gang be a gang, end of the day. What does tend to annoy the fuck out of me is when people shoot at cops just for the fuck of it, i've been shot at over Reckless Operation charges before. I ain't trying to die for no Speed Camera. As for the RP standard, if I had to class it by SA:MP roleplay server standards, it's probably a low level server. There are some great role-players in the server, but your average player here doesn't believe in character development. Voice chat gives an extra dimension to roleplay but then it can also fuck with your immersion, especially if someone hasn't got their setup right or they are playing a hardened criminal with a voice like Michael Jackson. The over-reliance on /do is irritating. I don't know about criminals but when I'm arresting someone, I have to keep asking them if I can do something. Like if you want to resist motherfucker, resist. State in a /me how you resist to me so I can respond back. Constantly having to ask if my actions are doable or a success is shit standard roleplay. There should be more /me's and less /do's. /do should be for descriptions of what's happening. Don't even get me started on the '/do s/f?' noobs.

I like the suggestion but I have to question whether it would make any difference to the server right now. I've made threads and posts before about the 'Council' and how it's bad for the overall criminal faction scene for the two biggest factions to be in bed with one another. As a result i've been called a snowflake and all this other shit. I realised that those on top are quite content with being on top and don't want to do anything to risk that. In hindsight, I get that and I can see why, but then I see a suggestion like this and wonder, would a turf map or turf war system make any difference to this current setup? I just see the two biggest factions agreeing on this stuff, carving up the city and then it's the same thing just with more scripting. IF it gets done, then you need to remove the static chop shops and the static drug labs and incorporate both gang setup chopshops and drug labs into this as well. Have the turfs as neighbourhoods i.e. Davis, Chamberlain Hills etc.. and each neighbourhood has certain characteristics which determine it's value. You could set up a chop shop in one neighbourhood but not in another if it didn't fit the area. You wouldn't get a chop shop in Vinewood Hills for example. You'd have to pay to set the labs and the chop shops up, and other factions could destroy them. So you'd have to maintain them and guard them to a certain degree but the key element here is that only one faction would be profiting overall from it's use. Maybe Triads would be happy using a Zeta run drug lab for a bit, but then maybe they'd want 100% of the profit for themselves. Maybe The Wanted don't like Triads running their own chop shop when that's more their thing etc.. As for like gun smuggling, even as a cop, I hate the illegal dropoff thing. You scramble to get people together and drive to a spot where you think it is then wait there for x amount of minutes, someone comes by and sees you and runs so you move in only to realise you've wasted half an hour on a suppressor. I think personally a black market gun store would be a better idea. You've got the convenience of a gang run and defended location to buy from, but there is also the danger that other gangs or cops are staking it out. Criminal shit like gun pickups, drug labs and chop shops need to be dynamic and fit what's going on in game. Not just the same spots all the time.

Said it before, but more unique ways to dispose of bodies. It's fine when there is a body or two on a scene but sometimes you rock up and it looks like a war crime. Use some of the drug lab chemicals, use a pickaxe or something to dig a grave. use the jerry can to burn the body. Also think adding the ability to parole someone with up to 25% of their sentence left for good behaviour or add on 10% of their original sentence for bad behaviour would help out DOC and also make it worthwhile for criminals to act half way reasonable in prison. Right now, you are already in there and unless you breakout, you aren't going anywhere so why not fuck around? If we ain't getting gang run drug labs, then take some of the lab locations from Blaine County and put some in the city. Same goes with the chop shop locations. I don't know why the scrapyard isn't used for this to be honest. Impound NPC, so if your vehicle is secure impounded, you can get it no matter what. If you have to pay the impound fee from a general impound and you don't have a misdemeanour/felony pending then you can get your car yourself. Add in some other weapons to the mix if possible. Call me selfish but I want a Thompson machine gun. Cigarettes/Vaping. I know we have drugs but not everyone wants to smoke the magical herb and cigarettes or vaping are a casual way of smoking, not just for criminals but everyone. Vehicle locks being damaged the more times they are bobby pinned so they are more likely to open. The better the car, the more bobby pins it takes but eventually you'll get in. Add a Burglar/Thief job to the server that allows people to rob houses. If someone was breaking into your house, you'd get an alert similar to your car being broken into. They take "items" from your house and sell them at a pawn shop for $$$. It also means you'd have to be careful with your house inventory. To combat this, you could buy various different kinds of house security like CCTV, a guard dog, stronger locks etc.. Add in a lockpick for cops and official criminal faction to be able to get into cars easier than bobby pins. Cops have to open vehicles to search them all the time and official criminal factions are supposed to be full of master criminals. Give new factions a couple weeks grace period on paying non-aggression tax, to allow them to get situated. The big factions aren't going nowhere, killing something before it starts seems bad for faction business. Secret vehicle storage. You'd be able to have a location within your vehicle, that you could set where you could hide items from prying eyes, at least temporary. You could specify like /vehstorage glovebox or /vehstorage sparetyre or /vehstorage driverdoor - Then when someone searched your vehicle, they'd have to go through all the locations inside the vehicle to try and see if you had items stored somewhere. It's not a fool proof system, if someone has time with your vehicle then they can search everywhere but it's at least better than being in a car and pressing I. Use the Vinewood Self Storage to rent out storage space for a few precious items. These would have a pass-code that you could share with other people and the size of the storage would depend on how much you paid to rent it. This would be more secure than a house/car in theory, but if someone knows your pass-code or IB/PD Command get a warrant to search your residence and vehicles, they can look inside too. Its in a shady part of town behind Mors on Alta Street. Add a tip-off chance to your phone if you are being traced, so you'd be able to tell if you were being traced. Perhaps look at making the darkest window tint illegal but this would act as a "mask" for every single person in the vehicle, whether they are wearing a mask or not. Cops could use a tint meter on a traffic stop to determine the amount of light that can pass through and it's a citation. Add bleeding to being shot/stabbed. Bleeding would cause a gradual decrease in the person's health bar (like no food/drink) until they got some kind of medical attention. This could either be by going to MD, someone with BLS, bandage themselves or being bandaged by someone else (depending on the wound severity), taking drugs/drinking to temporary stem the effects. This lends more weight to shootouts/stabbings, both for cops and criminals. The bleeding wouldn't effect the injured, because they are already hurt but if you aren't injured. You could buy bandages from the 24/7 or use clothing items for example. Hell if you want to go further, black market morphine production maybe? Remove all the speed cameras but the bank speed camera. Speed checks should be done by actual players. I can accept the camera at the bank because we get so many people there but everywhere else, not needed and the cameras are there for OOC reasons with IC consequences. Not a fan, even as a cop. A buff for the store robberies. Believe it or not, cops really like attending these and I wish there were more of them. It's a race against time to get there before you guys flee and I think people don't do them because they aren't financially rewarding. When chopping a vehicle, allow the chopper in the vehicle to bribe the chop shop with a percentage of the money to go faster. Say like 10% of the money they'll get to go like 90 seconds faster.

If you want an honest idea of what this would be like, go and stand at the bank when it's full for 10 minutes.

These suggestions are all good suggestions, but it's one of those things where you have to ask yourself, who is really going to get this amped up about fishing? Also, it's fine expanding the world, like they did with adding all this stuff to Paleto but the server population hasn't increased to reflect it. We've spread people out already, adding more things in the ocean for people to go out there, i'm not sure if it's the right play. You want people encountering each other more, not less. I actually kind of miss static fishing, although you were a target for getting robbed, you were still connected to people. I'd rather they just put Vinewood Lake and Del Perro Pier as the two fishing spots, maybe one out in Paleto Bay too.

Ehh, I don't know about this. The Zeta store for example, it looks fine. They sell fruit inside, they got fruit stalls out front with a chair. Some walls in the alley etc.. Then you've got some exterior furniture setups that look like absolute dog-shit and ruin the immersion. I'm sure you know the spots i'm talking about. I think if it's moderated by the staff team and it makes sense for the environment around it, then sure go for it.

You know what, speaking as someone that is always ticketing vehicles at the bank and towing them.. I think there is a genuine number of people that either don't realise they have to pay for their parking or it's too inconvenient for them to do so. Adding a command to create a parking permit, would likely make this a lot easier i.e. /parking [location] [duration] - /parking bank 10 Take the price down to like $25 a minute and for the price of an illegal parking citation, you're covered for 20 minutes.

I wouldn't mind it, but there is the OOC issue of trying to keep the economy from getting any worse. I think perhaps with a reasonable limit on how much it can hold, that makes it both worthwhile and also doesn't cut out that tax process, then sure why not.

I agree with the overall idea of the suggestion, but perhaps not on the specifics. I think doing away with 'Low End-High End' would be a step in the right direction, but I think it's better to maybe have less cars but in more locations across both Los Santos and Paleto. There are a lot of parking lots in the state which would be perfect for a car market. I think grading the vehicles by class is an excellent idea. If you're looking for a bike, you aren't really interested in a Cheburek are you? I also think for the more high-end vehicles, we could extend the selling time to a week as well to give the pricier cars time to sell.
