Hello, i am not sure if this has already been suggested before, couldnt see it as i was browsing through
so here goes.

We all know that Mick is running the server out of his own pocket, therefor the option of becomming a VIP has been made, (available for a lil ammount of money)
BUT there arent many benefits for the VIP's
so i was thinking, how about another Island PURELY for people that have donated and have a active VIP account.
and on that island you could maybe have Shorter missions or a Slight increased ammount of money (maybe the last one could be scripted even on the main land?)
also on the island there could be other activities ?
like i said its just a random suggestion
this way more people would get the VIP on a monthly base (well at least i would)
and that way mick would make more money and perhaps he might change server again (we all know for EU people that the current server is a pain in the backside)

might sound weird but the latency fixes that they have created for world of warcraft made my internet more stable when i was using a Dongle (the usb sticks to get internet, long boring story)

lol it makes me laugh you guys like your vehicles to be High off the floor while we thrive to go as low as you can go lol,
i like a good pick up but imho i prefer a nice Jap import

on a side note: driving a thing like that on our roads would make you feel like you're driving a tank haha

i take it your computer doesnt support AAx3 ?  nor a higher resolution?  Dayum that gotta be a pain in the ass!, but nicely done tho !

or you just get the bloody Stream link and play it through a browser what the hell is up with people cant they think for themselfs ?

funny how i actually suggested a new mission system like this not too long ago haha
it was simple and fun to watch

i agree with SandMan people will just have to learn which way to give way first....

a brigde there would make it look horrible and ive seen it on the TM server its just utterly crap.

To rescript the house or vehicle system is not worth it, there will always be a lack of houses.
Perhaps with new mapping projects like this might work:


Houses : 0m parking size, placed directly at a parking tower = allowing it to be a 3/4/5 slot then.
Only the parking tower would need parking metres, instead of every seperate house.

well the lack of houses would be solved shit loads if people could upgrade their house by just 1 slot already
but indeed your idea would be effective aswell and much easyer to do

The house sistem is good as it is, we just need to work more on them(houses).

Make new houses(like islands), and evict inactive players.

i agree to this but i werent gonna suggest more spots and such just another script to allow more vehicles to be bought by an upgrade.

I dont see why there couldnt be a system thats like this:

Example; buy your house as normal then add upgrade slots in the shop. Each upgrade works like upgrading house and costs the same price difference? But you can still only park the origional amount of cars at that house, all others must be parked in parking lots..

this is exactly what i said besides perhaps allowing 1 more car at the house

Every time someone complains about lack of high slot houses, the only solution that comes to my mind is increasing price gap.

How about make new houses in this area:
[spoiler][/spoiler]


Put some roads to get there, remove some trees.

yep i'd say more houses too but that would be a hell of a lot time wasted for the mappers and scripters making it in that area, but yeah it would be nice having some cabins in and around that area

Houses cannot be upgraded, because ideally they already have as many slots as possible. If not, I will adjust house slots provided the house is not already owned.

Every time someone complains about lack of high slot houses, the only solution that comes to my mind is increasing price gap.

i can see your point and you would have indeed a bigger chance of getting a bigger slot that way, but its just a matter of time then aint it ? i mean just now i just wasted 6 mill on vehicles cause i was annoyed because today i nearly got the 3 slot that was up for sale but then some admin kicked me (admin abuse) i have print screen of an admin saying "u mad?" to wind me up but thats a different thing.

but along with me there will be another 100 players with a 7 mill cash pile waiting for a 3 slot or to save up for a 4 slot but the gap between a 2 slot to 4 slot is already immense..

but all i can say mick is think about it , then make your choice i understand that most houses already have as many slots as possible.

recently there have been added many new 1 slot houses.
i say this is rather pointless its nice for newbies being able to buy 1 slots and such
but the real problem is is that there is just a sheer lack of 3+ slot houses.
id say look for a possibility to upgrade houses rather than build new houses ( this way you cant say i havent read the rules about suggesting NEW houses)

find out players that own certain houses and then UPGRADE them to 3-4 5 6 whatever slots.
OR
allow a player to buy upgrades for his house in order to own more vehicles.
the reason i say this is that i have been waiting for about 2 months to buy myself a 3 slot. it actually is making me fed up.
i know i dont need that many cars but its just a nice thing to have.

so my suggestion is for a new script (yep im sorry for the one that makes the scripts)

someone can buy a house IE a 1 slot for 1 mill.
a 2 slot costs 3 mill to buy and the player will have to sell his old 1 slot to buy the 2 slot so he'll have to add 2.5 mill for his house.
etc you get my point.

now my idea was, look at the houses and how much parking space they have.
then for the script
a 1 slot can be upgraded to a 2 slot (AS LONG AS THEY PARK THEIR CARS PROPERLY)
2 can be upgraded to 3 (maybe 4 depending on their parking space)
3 can be upgraded to 4 and perhaps 5 (again parking space)

then for individual upgrade prices.
to upgrade a 1 slot to a 2 slot you will have to pay an additional 3-4 mill
upgrade a 2 slot to a 3 slot 7 mill or such

etc etc
and then for the player if he wants to sell his house to buy a new one
he will still get half the ammount (as normal) but with the upgrade perhaps an additional 30 percent from it.
then you wont get as much bitching about houses and players will be carefull what they do.

cause right now as i see it there are MANY relative inactive players with 3+ slots that are just being used for Fuck all now.
think about my suggestion and dont start about the posting rules of house mapping and such.

all it would be is the ability to upgrade SLOTS not the house itself
i understand this would be a hell of alot of scripting to do but as you can see im not bitching about changing much and you dont have to change individual houses its a script to allow houses to be upgraded

well i was thinking actually..

Still if you see a civillian car driving with elm. that would mean that they would be either using a the glitch or driving with the ELM on,
so again you could give it a Huge fine.
i dont mean a 5k fine or such. but more like 50-100k fine

and the point of it not being allowed cause others can see it.
i wouldnt actually mind seeing a police car chase me with so many flashing lights
anything better than those silly 2tone glowing lightbars lol

and as for the "others can see it"
you can have your indicaters on. thats visable to others aswell 
thats my opinion about it
but i understand the problems with ELM seeing like you said driving without fuel.
but that would mean that you would be flashing so then it would be fineable

but yeah, its alright i understand it wont be allowed, it was just a suggestion to get it on the game
cheers for the time tho

really?  Fuck that shit thats lame ! is there any way to get rid of it ?
or is it cause it clashes with the scripts from the server ?

man.. i really had my hopes up lol
well thank you for that , indeed saves me alot of time, imma have to try that out some time cause someone told me that with the latest one it doesnt happen ( but still i understand where you're comming from cause other people will probably install the old versions just to keep that glitch )

on that note. Forget whatever i just wrote... ELM sucks ! xD lolol
thank you terror for making a "valid" point imo

regards
Nick

Right i know this has been going on for AGES and AGES and all of the times Mick has said No , cause he doesnt want flashing lights.

But what if it was alright to have ELM but ONLY use it on Police cars,  otherwise = kick.  still dont listen..   Ban.

i can understand that mick says no due to the fact that SOME people still have a crappy PC but theres not many pc's that cant handle the flashes
and im sure that those that use Cleo + ELM will be aware of how everything works. so surely they will have read the rules.
what if the admins have a  "gathering" and discuss this subject yet once again.

like i said i understand that mick said no due to people randomly driving by with flashing lights ( which in my opinion deserves a kick/ban)  but it makes it (imo) more fun as a cop. i actually had it installed untill i browsed the forum and saw you werent allowed to use it. but i only used it for a cop. 

also i have seen MANY people hosting car shows. and i'd think for them it would be fun too. just "hanging" out with their cars flashing lol.

as long as you dont drive around in a normal car with your lights flashing

and i've just realised..   why not a Fixed penalty of 10-50k  for driving around in your normal car and you have your ELM turned on.
perhaps even higher, that way people will soon enough reconsider turning their ELM on while being in a civilian vehicle.

That way its the same as in real life. they give you a fine and tell you to rip out the system there and then on the spot
why not the same on the server? ( yes i understand that it would make a hell of alot more work for mods/admins ) but the other day i was playing and i believe it was TheGame that was going insane cause for 2 hours long there hadn't been a /report

please think about it and the points im putting on the table.

ELM in police car = accepted in Chases
ELM in Civilian car = Huge ass fine or  Kick- kick - ban

sounds fair in my opinion

Regards Nick
