Welcome to ECRP! Don't forget to read over the rules, have a quick browse through reports (So that you can get an idea of what each rule means more in depth) Have a look at the guides too! If you have any questions we have #ihaveaquestion in discord, and also /report in game if you have questions while playing.

Have you tried ensuring you open EPIC first, then opening rage as admin. Conflicts cause issues so try this and see if it makes a difference.

+1 We NEED new hairs

I agree with this statement, however like others have mentioned, due to desync damage it would be unfair to implement. We do have OOC warnings about Non RP driving but what we can do is address it IC, we have police in the server. Maybe there is something else we can do.

As Tim said, Yes this server is a Mix. However you must always pay attention to text chat incase 1. Someone is using Text instead of Voip, or 2. They are trying to RP with you using /me's and /dos.

Haha, Glad Gaben could point you in the right direction.

If people are abusing scripts, there are discplinaries for this. We need to make the server enjoyable for all types of roleplayers. It's not just "NEW PLAYERS" that have this issue, its people who have 5-15k EXP and are trying to work their way up the food chain.

Planting Weed New player criminals. So i have received a few complaints that it is difficult for new players whom chose the criminal aspect of RP to be able to start planting and selling weed. Obviously weed is the novice and cheaper drug to make. It's stated that because you can only plant it in the drug labs, it makes them vulnerable to larger gangs who "Patrol" the drug labs to pull up and rob them. My suggestion is relatively simple. Allow them to plant it anywhere. The drugs will still be regulated, Police can still pull up any farms that they find and the same with gangs, but the map is large so they can find a nice hidden spot to plant it safely. This also doesn't affect the criminal "Food Chain" Per-say I only propose this for weed and not other drugs.

Did updating your drivers fix the issue @urbach wiethe

Hello, Thank-you for your suggestion! It's actually an excellent idea and would open opportunities for civilian owned business. Just to make it clear, i think this should only be an option for civilians however, and should be governed by the SASG (San Andreas State Government) in the licensing department. Anyone with violent/weapon related misdemeanours should be exempt from this license. There should also be regulations on any teaching capacities. It should not be legally allowed to train anyone who is a felon to drive a helicopter. The reason being is if convicted felons/criminals gained the ability to fly helicopters, they would all start using them for heists and this is not realistic at all and moves more towards a GTA type scenario.

Yes, i agree with this. To de-activate the exemption from speeding tickets, it could automatically revert to not stolen when it is impounded/destroyed(Sent to Mors). My only concern is that people would take advantage of this by reporting it stolen, then getting involved in criminal activity to limit the fines they receive while trying to evade etc.

+1 I agree with this, would make a great addition to the panel and would be useful in improving in aspects of RP that have recieved feedback.

Hello! Thank-you for taking the time to make this suggestion. -1 for me I'm afraid. The logistics of this for the victim/owner of the car paying off/appealing the fines is too complex for the server and was cause a mass backlog of appeals. A better suggestion could be maybe if the owner of the car marks the car as stolen, the car would be exempt from speeding fines. We currently have a weapon's system in which you can mark it as stolen, it should be simple enough to add a vehicle since each vehicle is unique by it's license plate.

Hello! Thank-you for your suggestion, i appreciate you taking the time to write it up. Unfortunately, i disagree with this suggestion and i'll explain why. If you are roleplaying a criminal, you are taking a huge risk. The biggest being that you could get caught. The majority of police chases (I'd say maybe 60-70%) are people who either fancy a bit of a chase, or were going to be arrested for a misdemeanour (Minor Offense). If there is a chase with 7-8, it's usually within good reason. As i've said before on other threads, i find that most complaints regarding police conduct can be handled of an IC level. If you think that the way the police department handles themselves, I.E They drive recklessly by allowing such a large amount of speeding vehicles chase one car, Contact the relevent authority and log a complaint, contact someone to suggest a change. I can attest however that there are protocols within the department that attempt to limit issues like this arising, but this is of an IC nature.

Hello! We appreciate your suggestion however there are a few flaws with this suggestion which i'll list below for you. Make it so that cops actually get paid for handling impounds, give them incentive to do it because most cops just don't care about doing it at this point cause there is no reward tied to it for them. Cops are already paid a wage packet, which includes completing impound duties. If your character feels that 'cops don't care about doing it', take the issue up ICly with the police department. Make it a "pay a ticket" type of system just like you pay your tickets at the police station. Pay the fine and your car gets out of impound, this completely eliminates the need of having to wait for a cop to get your vehicle out of the impound. There are other factors that go into the releasing of a vehicle from the impound lot, i won't provide all but an example could be that the owner has no valid drivers license. This disables the ability to allow them to retrieve their vehicle back (Not scriptly, RPly.) There are also limited spots in the impound lot already, and would cause a space and spawn in issue. Give mechanics the option to handle impounds as well, not just cops. Like i stated above, releasing vehicles cannot be undertaken by mechanics as there are legal obligations involved in the release of a vehicle and mechanics are not authorised to enforce the penal code. The are able to impound vehicles, just not release. I find that the majority of inconveniences or issues that arise with subjects like this can be resolved by speaking to someone IC, maybe try that and see how it goes?

In this day an age, almost everyone in the world has a video camera at their disposal, inside their cellular/mobile phones. Which means so much more content is captured on a minute by minute basis. This could be your local stray cats fighting, a local storm passing through your town, or even a crazed lady at the local store. It's all captured on video. Lets say, it's a Saturday afternoon, you're relaxing by the pier and fishing with some friends. All of a sudden, you hear gunshots, turn around and see two men shooting another man. He falls to the floor and the shooters run away. Police show up and need to know what's happened but they can't just take your word for it. You can now say to them, i recorded it! Another example could be, You're sitting on the side of the road on Route 68, its Midnight, You've had to pull over to answer a phone call. While on the call, a crazed man approached out of the darkness and attempts to hold you at gunpoint and steal your brand new car! You are terrified but comply. Luckily, you escape unscathed, but you call 911. They arrive and you state the scenario, explaining you were wearing a GoPro clipped to your T-shirt. You can now provide footage of the assailant! A final example could be, your posse are big time bike stunt riders. You're at the skate park on Vespucci Blvd and Jake just threw a sick kick flip. You caught it all on your phone, you can now post this video to life invader! Footage Obtained by OOC Means must have RP to accompany it, this is to avoid Metagaming. You must always roleplay turning on your bodycam/camera, every 48 hours. Using OOC Footage IC, With Roleplay, Is Classed as Alternative RP. Alternative meaning, Not scripted. To make this RP Valid, you must provide time stamped roleplay. This roleplay expires within 48 hours. Use your imagination folks, where do we buy most of our misc. items from in Eclipse? A Store! While it isn't a physical item, this is what Roleplay is about, Using our Imagination. To be able to record your gameplay, you will need software to record your gameplay. Common types of Software are: Shadowplay Re-Play Fraps Medal.TV Twitch (Stream) Youtube (Stream) Simple, simply re-enact it as you would in real life. Below is an example. Remember, you must always time stamp your RP. It will only be valid for 48 hours. Any footage obtained after this is NOT usable and would be considered corrupted footage. If you were to use your phone, You can do the following: /time /me takes out phone, hitting the record button. /record If you wanted to use a dashcam, You can do the following: /time /me leans forward towards the dashcam attached to the front window, pressing the power button to enable the recording feature. /do The record light would be flashing red, indicating it is now recording. Remember, the above examples are not mandatory scenario's. Think up your own! Maybe you have a mini HD GoPro, Maybe you have an RAC 1080 Dashcam, or even a Life Invader Media Flip Phone. It's completely up to you! You need to be able to provide the RP you have done to make the footage valid. As stated above, footage must have RP prior, and will only be valid for 48 hours. The best practice to ensure you have your RP saved, is to complete the above steps, then immediately screenshot the RP. You can delete this screenshot every 48 hours or when you complete the next RP sequence. Yes! You can! So remembering rule 10, /do must only be used to provide FACTUAL statements. If you provide non-factual statements in /do, this is against the rules and you could recieve disciplinary punishments. To be able to RP video footage, you must still complete the above bodycam RP, then you can respond to questions that are asked via /do or roleplay showing the footage to a police officer using /me. Below are some examples of interactions; /me pulls out her phone, loading up previously recorded footage, turning her phone around and displaying it for John to see. /do You would see a female that matches Grace's description, pulling out a golf club and smashing the car window /me takes the SD card out of her bodycam, putting it inside her SD card slot on her phone and loading the footage /me shows the phone to John /do You would see a female that matches Grace's description, pulling out a golf club and smashing the car window DID YOU KNOW? You can also RP from a distance! Let's say you have CCTV camera's set up in your apartment, and you witnessed the suspect leave your apartment but were unable to apprehend. If the suspect wasn't wearing a mask, you can provide the footage to the police, or to a friend. For example: /me loads up the CCTV feed on to her laptop, rewinding back to the footage required. /LDO 122 After reviewing the footage, would i see a female that looks like Grace, Breaking into the apartment and stealing her golf clubs? This will send a /do to the person in question, they will then need to reply. /LDO 166 You would see Grace stealing the Golf clubs from the apartment, yes. FAQ's Where can i buy a bodycam? Remember, this is all about RP, while there are no physical Bodycam Items for you to buy, you can either use your phone, or you can go to any store and RP buying a bodycam using /me's and /do's. If you'd really like to be immersive, you can even head to city hall and donate money to RP purchasing the bodycam further. What should i do if someone asks for my bodycam for evidence? Hand over your evidence using /me's and /do's just like you would in real life. Take the Bodycam and hand it over OR take the SD Card out and put it in your phone OR give the person a link to your "Cloud" Then, once the person is watching the footage RP-ly, you can send it via discord for them to watch. REMEMBER: You must always provide proof of RP (Screenshot with the time stamp) If you have any questions regarding this type of RP, feel free to send me a question (OOC Questions Only), via PM, OR Alternatively, Use I have a question on the ECRP Discord. Thankyou!

Also happens when looting bodies too.

Date and time (provide timezone): 9:40PM UTC+1 - 28/08/21 Character name: Jessica Nash Issue/bug you are reporting: Character gets stuck in placing item animation Expected behavior: When placing items such as blockade cones, Character gets stuck in placing item animation. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: https://streamable.com/y8u0l6 I have also noticed sometimes when searching a bag, you get stuck in the searching animation. The Blockade issue has only started happening today.

Its a recent issue that has risen. Not sure what's caused it.

Load into another server and wait until you reach a login/splash screen. Once loaded in, press F1 to bring up the RAGEMP menu and join the ECLIPSE ROLEPLAY | ENGLISH server. When trying to join, you'll most likely have to do it 3 times. The first time will say "Connection lost" in the bottom right. The second time will say "Establishing connection" indefinitely. The third one should start establishing connection followed by loading server assets. After these steps, you should be in the game. When you reach character select your game may or may not crash, but from there you'll be able to join the server as normal instead of having to jump through these hoops again.

So the police department doesn't make the laws, the comissioners do. Your best bet is to contact them IC. Push for a change in protocol.

This post is a little outdated as vehicles have been re-evaluated within the department.

I agree somewhat with this thread. I feel on one hand you should face consequences for your actions, but on the other hand, it's not fun for anyone to be in jail for 6-7 hours. I've seen someone get 12 which is excessive. I feel like charge times should still stand as they are but there should be a cap of 4 hours for consecutive jail sentences. So if someone get 10 Felony evasions, they should get 4 hours max regardless. This is a community that is supposed to be fun for ALL who play, whether legal or criminal. It's 10x harder to be a criminal, if we want to keep the ratio fair and balanced there needs to be some give for criminals. Perhaps a compromise that only certain charges are exempt from the cap, I.E Murder Modifiers involving LEO's Such as battery of a gov. employee, attempted murder of a gov, employee.

This has happened alone and with passengers so nope X
