Harley Posted April 29 Report Posted April 29 (edited) Phone Update *First of all I just wanna say how awesome it's been to see swift and huge improvements to the phone. From a simple suggestion in general chat to an incredible new phone in a matter of a week. Seriously Paulius, thank you! That being said, there's a couple things I think could be added/improved with this phone to take it from great to amazing* Instagram App *Looking at how other modern servers do this, Instagram is yet another social media app, that in my opinion is even more fun to use than Twitter/Bleeter. It's almost identical to Instagram before it become an app full of reels. Players can post photos and videos, both taken in game and external source image URLs. I think it's important to be able to have the ability to use external photo URLs to allow more creativity with player photos. People like to edit, crop, and touch up their photos so they look much better than what is possible with the camera app in game. And while we're adding Instagram, move the Live feature into Insteagram as one merged app. People can go Live on Instagram, which then appears at the top of the page like stories do on Instagram IRL.* TL;DR Â Add Instagram Allow for posting Photos, Videos, and external image URLS for edited photos Add Livestreaming to Instagram, merging Live & Instagram into one add, livestreaming shown as a story at the top of the page Business/Services App *This app allows player-run businesses such as Food Services to list that they are on duty and their services are available. For example, player is a worker for Pearls Seafood. They clock on, open the services app and click a + button to add themselves to the active services app. They fill in their business name, choose a type of service in a drop down menu with multiple different services (Such as Mechanic Service, Food Service, Law Firm, etc), and toggle if they'd like to include their location on the listing. This then lists their name, business, phone number, and location in the service app under a title of that type of service. So for the Pearls Example, you'd see something like the below* Example: Food Services Pearls Seafood *Harley Pavlovich - [471-4790]* *[Set Waypoint]* TL;DR Add Businesses App for people to list their player-run businesses are open and available Allow players to choose their type of service, and toggle their location on/off Allows for players to quickly see which businesses are currently operating and open, allows for passive businesses like food shops, etc, to be utilised mroe Other Improvements Allow for external Image URL's to be added to phone gallery, so people can share edited photos, etc. Replace location map from 3D map to 2D map (Same one in the pause menu) Add audible ringtones to surrounding players, so they can hear if somebody is getting a phone call, a modern version of the old /ame that used to display using the Gen 1 phone Add ability to use custom ringtones (Perhaps a feature behind a credit payment/VIP) Limited to 30 second audios, can use YouTube links for this Edited May 2 by Harley Added custom ringtones & audible ringtones 3 Quote

All in one place. So much easier and cleaner Quote
