i got one maxed

what they could fairy easily do is: in the property wi menu, add roof (or backdoor whatever), it works the same as anyother property, it just teleports you to a door on the roof that has the same menu leading inside or to front door. this does ofc require some custom placement among different houses, but not more work than how the properties work now.

this is basically a macro to simplify playing large amounts of different songs for both the carspeaker and the regular speaker, you still need the item to play it tho.

I always thought about this idea aswell. Many players are low and then there are also trolls who put their volume up high on purpose. 0-100 might be a bit harch though since this could be used to just silence players you dont like for whatever reason. Could be cool if we could increase and decrease say 50%, so it couldnt be used for toxic reasons.

has anyone else noticed that since 2 updates ago, this tool "sometimes" locks up the game when using alt+f3 Edit: i'm a moron, if you're moron like me, you probably don't have the last update installed...

DCC phone application and scripting update
Tom Solar replied to Varakai's topic in Civilian Suggestions
yea the app definatly needs updating, I always had this idea: So for the ppl using TTS to 'read' these: - I would remove the 'Free Drivers' counter as it doesnt update when drivers are 'on the way' with the customer, it only updates when a driver accepts a taxirequests and is on the way to pick him up, ariving at the customer marks the driver as 'free' but then he still needs to drive to the location. - Replace the pictures on the left with either updated cars or just generic themed icons since the fleet updates now and then. - replace the shuttle with Electric, we havent had the shuttle in our fleet for over 2 years, we made a big point IC in taking on more electric cars and we have 4 now. - Remove the counters on the right next tothe 'request' button, these only update when a driver is in the vehicle and only when its the specific vehicle displayed in the image, taxidrivers spend most of their 10-9 time outside the taxi socializing and a big red 0 next to the request button demotivates people from ordering a taxi or requesting a special one. this has been proposed ic aswell and could all be fixed fairly easy -i think- by changing whatever textures this uses. Im sorry Damian but I don't like that idea, I understand the pros but I have played on servers that have that and I can show you a typical conversation between taxi and customer there: -customer gets in-, driver: "hey man, how you doing?" -...- driver: "uhhm okk, where do you wanna go buddy?"-...- driver: "sir?" -...- customer: "man i put it on gps" I get that people say "oooh but uber has gps" but we dont roleplay uber we roleplay a taxicompany. This is a great idea, I would love to see some sort of que system but it would need to track when taxidrivers are 'on the way' with the customer, contrairy to how the app works. On some other ideas: Live tracking: idk how i feel abt this, its not really up to us to go look for the customer after they move, this would just make it more difficult for us i feel. Its also a bit unrealistic imo. Canceling the request: a customer can cancel a request failry easy by running 10-15 meters but a taxidriver needs to relog i think for the call to become available again. A way to cancel a request would be good from our side but I can see this being abused by people wo dont want to drive to paleto so I would rather not see this implemented. Blacklist script system: so this would make our lives easyer but i actually dont want it, from our side: people forget to check it, they get into funny situations and we get to barrade them for it. from the blacklistee side: characters get blacklisted for a reason, if they are unsure if they are blacklisted or why, they will try to find out, creating funny situations. -
OMG THANK YOU!

I know that the playout is effected by the time of the machine you are playing on, if your windows is 1min behind on the atomic clock, the song will play 1 minute later (for you, this is relevant for everyone hearing the song) I found out about this years ago and my songs play when i do the command so this isnt the issue. This could effect who hears it when though and could also be the reason for the lack of sync. I notice it stopping for some people at the same time and remains playing for other people but then it might switch ther next song. I have songs who cut early and songs who dont but it doesnt seem to be relavant to the songs. so yea no clue it worked well before the last update when this bug was posted.

again, as i said in my previous comment, your proposition is already in place, no available taxidrivers, citybees are available, available taxidrivers, citybees are not available. The script makes taxidrivers "unavailable" when they took a call and are on their way there, to make citybees always available would decrease the amount of roleplay available for people in our faction. some players don't really see the roleplay value and then they will propose stuff like this or repair kits or automated impounds but at least IMO those things dont fit a semi realistic roleplay server. I get it, its easy to just +1 an idea you think would make your life easyer but you have to think beyond your own needs and think about how it would better the server.

People like to work when the server is quiet and have fun with their friends when the server is busy, thats why peak hours have less drivers, every other faction has this same issue. I know this makes it so services aren't available during peak hours but everyone is free to join any faction and help relief that. The restrictions around citybee usage was put in place to entise people to use the taxiservice as it holds more roleplay value. The thing about your proposition is that its already in place, when all the available drivers are busy with a call, citybees are available. They become unavailable again whenever a taxidriver is free, I think this is plenty and its already being abused. And for new players city bees are always available. I hear some people complaining about not being serviced and that they think people are salaryfarming or ignoring their calls but from what I can see, people don't keep in mind that there are also other players who order cabs and most players will cancel their order after less than a minute (most cancel after seconds). If there are drivers on duty, they will come get you eventually.

Date and time (provide timezone): 09.30 ish pm utc Character name: Tom_Solar Issue/bug you are reporting: /dragout works for moving or locked vehicles Expected behavior: /dragout to only work in specific situations Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: In the video below you can see /dragout being used in 2 abusive ways, first on id 51 with a locked car and then on id 3(pov) with a moving car. This has been the case for a week now give or take, most people just use it to joke with friends but as you can see its also being abused to help with criminal rp. also a very important exploit! spamming the /dragout command a second time, forces the person out immediatly, even if they win the skillchecker. https://streamable.com/flxs6v Vehicle license plate number*: /
