  1. I wouldn't necessarily say that Civilian RP is dead, Gov seems to be doing decent, government funded jobs are doing pretty good for the most part. I think what you are getting at is Business RP is struggling. The biggest fix would to make an easier way for businesses to get access to the treasury options of an F4 menu. I can only speak from my experience trying to open up a mechanic shop, the only way to get that treasury is by getting official. As a business you don't gain any functionality from an F4 menu unlike criminal factions with imports, NPCs, Turfs or government funded factions with badges. Getting an *business* (legal) F4 should be something your business can apply to get after a month or two so long as your business is active, having openings etc. If everyone is so worried about F4 chat being abused I'm sure you could find a work around, whether it be changing the script to include a setting to toggle it until you get official or something. Allow those business F4's to use badges like other legal jobs so you can promote your business since it is already implemented. The treasury is also very nice and already in the game. If you want to implement something via the script, what others have said above about maybe an "item creator" such as custom imports of different foods / drinks with different images instead of the default burger, we don't need custom models, I mean fish are still the french fry model in game. Instead of giving a business the option to item print, make a new department such as Department of Commerce and Labor, that would essentially import items that businesses would have to buy. RP the cost of importing them from x Company, then they can sell those food/drink items for whatever profit they see fit. Obviously not all businesses are going to have food and drink as the main item, however it would be a good basis to start because 80% of businesses are based on being Nightclubs, bars, restaurants, or something to deal with selling food/water. Say for example I open up a UFC type thing, I could go out to these businesses and get unique food that isn't just burgers and water, which ultimately expands all the RP for all businesses involved. If the "item creator" works by something like /import "Name" "Qty" "Type(food/water/item)" "Img Link" then you could make food, drinks, or items that do nothing, such as collectables, or business specific items. For example mechanic shops could sell little air fresheners you put in the glovebox, a fight club could print a belt/trophy they could hold on to. It would have no functionality except for a name and image for your inventory. (I am at work so hopefully this sorta makes sense I didn't put too much thought in to it, more just what would be cool to see on the server)
  2. -1 for script implementation, but you can still try to RP that and go about it that way. I've had people pickpocket MD keys before so you can sorta do whatever
  3. weird to put this as the only example LMAO
  4. Simple put the good RP in the panel and put bad RP as a number
  5. This would be sick once/if the hunting script was changed and there was some variation introduced. The current hunting script is already so buggy that should be the first priority. However once that is fixed, 110% agree with the idea.
  6. +1 make a wallet general stores can sell that have an inventory that only allow licenses, go to city hall to collect your licenses, but the licenses can still be approved by the respective parties ( BLS - MD, Gun License - PD, Pilots - SAAA, etc)
  7. I think this would be a neat way to have IC business websites without having to make a google site (which is easy but then you have to "trust" whoever is making it not to put shitty things and can't really be moderated) and if you really want to make the site good spend $12 on a domain a year which again isn't a lot but not everyone has money to spend. People can use the formatting and insert pictures, sort of like how gangs/businesses to forum posts, but this could help advertise. Also Weazel could have a business ads section on there site that link directly to the ECRP forums which would be more secure than some random site.
  8. Well, if you go that far with getting this script implemented, might as well upgrade the mechanic scripts to use metal so they can create upgrades and install them to vehicles!
  9. Besides the fact you cut him off, all NPC cars are automatically stolen in the MDC so if they run a plate they know its stolen.
  10. Just to necro this post for a bit, couldn't the whole thing be like move them to the hospital and use the beds to do the questioning and GSW residue and all of that stuff, search and only take the most valuable things such as Money/Drugs/Guns. We have an entire pillbox hospital and a multitude of beds that can be used. GSW doesn't just come off from air, pretty sure you have to wash it so as long as that RP isn't done then there shouldn't be any reason why this wouldn't work. If you are truly injured, simply being dropped off at Pillbox wont make you be able to sprint away. You can continue the RP and be stretchered to the bed for treatment? I don't know if any of this makes sense but in my head it did.
  11. I dont think chatterbox would like the fun house to be a meth lab! ( Underground doctor in the basement would be neat to heal you a little bit for extra money )
  12. They should probably add a way to see if you are currently on your way or transporting an active job and give you a bypass then because that is pretty silly.
  13. MD has always been about the EMS RP and divisions to add more RP have been optional and people have to search for that sort of RP. The way the script works now is a basic EMS script and nothing more, stabilize to get them to the hospital then drop them off and go to the next call. The EMS script starts and ends at that. A vast majority of other servers you have EMS and you have your nurses and doctors that heal you at the hospital. The EMS take you and carry you to a bed then the Doctors and nurses come in and fully treat you and give you meds/surgery/etc. TBH the way we do our move to prison system by ALWAYS doing a prison transport is honestly more RP than a bunch of the other servers who just send you to prison for the cell of Mission Row. It gives RP ops to try to break your buddy out of prison before they get to it. I agree and don't think PD/SD should take on DOCs role and once your conversation is done with the jumpsuit and like "any more questions" then you are totally within the right to /prison them from the lobby/intake room.
  14. I think that cars shouldn't despawn if someone with keys is online. This *hopefully* will either stop cars for just despawning because you are in RP for an extended amount of time, as well as making the car owners more liable for who they give keys to because the car wont just vanish after you log off in hopes of protecting it. As for repairs, as easy as it should be to code it in to allow people repair, I'm sure the system is pretty broad in terms of allowing all mods and repairs with the /mechoffer. Though it would probably be as simple as a check to see if they are a vehicle owner for mods and a key holder for a repair, I doubt it is that easy who knows how it is coded.
  15. I didn't see this but ill send over something soonTM!
  16. HAPPY BIRTH DAY!
  17. How about we make it were if you do the command, stay in the impound lot area, for lets say like 10-15 minutes and nothing happens then you can get your car back? This gives ample time for one officer to break off from a 4 stacked traffic stop or someone at the desk to finish up with the work they are doing and head over.
  18. This is legendary, maybe something cool could be having a spot to define the music list text file name so people can share music playlists and keep them separate instead of having to keep track of the one with the same name.
  19. I think the bigger issue is fixing the upper body and lower body animations being done at the same time, ex: sitting down and pulling your phone out however +1
  20. I think making it 45 would be nice, you can still have a GPS, Cloth, maybe a lock pick if you get in a tight situation were you would need to pick a vehicle without being completely boned, food and water.
  21. pretty much says what the suggestion is no one wants to wait ages for an impounded car then wait ages for a mechanic to maybe have a chance to come fix your vehicle you also can not push your own vehicle in an NCZ, so you can't even bring it to a mechanic shop
  22. massive +1 there is very little support for business RP
  23. This might be a bit much, but if there is development work going in to aliases to make this happen, maybe it would do the same with people in/out of vehicles and/or the voice chat on the side of the screen. People in the same car will be able to see Aliases, but people outside of vehicles can not see aliases unless windows are rolled down / really broken (no desync, that should be doable with server side scripts and checking vehicle status's) At this point, most people can recognize people based on what they look like, the whole argument about lack of customization options is a bit bleak at this point, people wear the same clothes and you can recognize voices, you shouldn't have to rely on seeing aliases to be like "oh hi x" Also I still think that the voice chat on the side shouldn't show aliases, peoples ID turn colors that should be enough to see who is talking, or if you don't recognize them you ask like a normal person is on a radio / phone call.
  24. common gaymer mtndewson W +1
  25. Big +1 I have had people do RP deliveries for me, and if they took the goods through windy mountains and stuff, my product would be FUCKED. A little extra money to help or even an exempt payment, but still gives the toll workers money would be an option. The trucking business would probably factor that into the pay and/or reimburse you for those, or you as the truck driver would demand more pay to help offset those costs which just isn't an option cause you know... its a script not a dispatch Edit: To quickly add on, just because you were a badass trucker and saved up enough to not rent trashy company vehicles, doesn't mean you should make less money because of the added expenses!
