DarkRP Development Progress [Month of May, 2024]

[Nutter 15,381]

As promised the previous month, now that we got the crashing situation sorted, we are getting alllllll new content

 

Law System

A complete re-write to the law system has been made, this time, giving a total of 3 default laws, and 6 additional (toggleable laws) which the mayor may choose between.

 

This approach disallows mayors from utilizing minge laws, which despite what "vEtErAn PLaYeRs" claim, will very frequently lead to a mass disconnect wave from the server, as players are arrested for very dumb things, IE: not addressing the Mayor as "daddy" or j-walking. This new approach will only allow useful and commonly-used laws from being enacted.

 

 

 

Paper System

This one was a PAIN IN TEH FCUKING ASS

 

Players can now utilize the command /paper or /note in order to write a note on a piece of paper (hehehe)

 

Once you're done writing your note/letter/paper, you can sign it, or simply leave it for other players to discover. This can be a legally-abiding document for RP purposes

Other players may interact with this note by pressing E on it

This took way more hours than any of you will believe it was worth, and I hadn't seen it used more than a handful of times so rip me 

 

 

 

Mayor

Utilize the Mayor PC in order to reach the laws panels, through which you will be able to determine which laws you'd like to be enacted/repealed

 

You now posses the power to toggle the Bail NPC in order to allow or disallow jail bonds as you wish!

 

Lastly, you may utilize your Mayor desk computer in order to pay out your officers, given that you've kept an eye on the PD vault, and the tax rate is high, in order to gather up enough money to pay out your trusty officers!

 

 

 

Hireable Role System

There is now a table stored of hireable roles, IE: Security Guard, Mercenary, Medic, Doctor, and Prostitute (but only by a Pimp)

 

Such roles can be interacted with through the general public by pressing 'E' on them

 

This will raise the hiring menu, on which you can see the current going rate of hiring the individual

If accepted, the player will display an extra piece of information on their hud, stating who they are hired by:

 

 

Professionals may use the command /rate or /hirerate in order to define the pricepoint at which they wish to be hired:

 

 

There is a limit of 100k for a hiring, as a hire only lasts until the player dies

 

 

 

 

NEW Priest NEW

Provide players with spiritual guidance and support to other players on our server.

Down in the future you will carry unique toggleable abilities such as healing players' wounds and offering blessings that give temporary buffs for raiding.

Priests can create temporary safe havens and conduct meetings for their affiliated church within a base.

 

 

 

NEW Sailor NEW

This is the only role on our server that can base above the beach's waters. Cleverly avoiding the sharks infesting right underneath. Bring your sea shawties above, or do as you wish, but just make sure you're not stuck outside your base with too many shark players, just incase your printer is overheating. 

 

 

 

 

NEW Shark NEW

^ Enjoy the amazing screenshot ^

 You're a fucking menace that is probably new to our server, as this class is approachable at level 9. Your single purpose as this role is to fucking lure people into the water and disect their bodies. You must remain submerged at all times, as you will otherwise be beached and die of dehydration or whatever the fuck it is that kills sharks outside of water

 

 

 

Prop Ban

A new staff tool to deal with moronic prop spammers, but removing the necessity to ban them

 

 

 

Hitman System

Automated hits are now entirely dependnet on the number of active hitmen, the more active hitmen, the more automated hits volume that'll come through 

 

 

 

Prostitute

This job has been entirely recoded with no more inconsistencies in cooldowns/territorial Disputes

You may be hired solely by a pimp in order to be they faithful hoe
 

 

 

Medic/Doctor

These role are now hireable by all other players, you can serve as a personal medic!

 

 

 

Logging System

MODULE ADDED: Mug Logs

 

 

MODULE ADDED: Hiring Logs

 

 

 

Duel System

ooooookay i gotcha makes 100% more sense. Thanks mate.

[Merk 476]

Truly a change of pace in comparison to our last few months, (especially last month) were we were strictly dedicated to chasing down crashes.  
New updates & content is exactly what we needed....and bug fixes, like the prostitute. I totally didn't make that a priority....Y'ALL BETTER BE HOES!

When can we anticipate the job class updates for the new roles in the Server Rules?

I have a feeling that when they don't have the ability to prop spam they'll just flowchart down to RDM or other means lol, good changes though.
