Hi guys!

Welcome to my suggestion, this has been suggested before, however I feel it's worth another chance at suggesting it, giving points as to why it would be awesome, as well as a very useful reward that a lot of players could really appreciate and learn to love.

BUS DRIVER



In CT, when coach missions were created, it was probably too difficult or maybe impossible to script it, so a bus couldn't be driven the way we'd expect.

In real life, you get on a bus which will stop at point A-B-C-D-E-F-G. It goes along a route, until it turns back around, and keeps going.

On Ct, it acts like a coach, taking people to and from airports, bus's do this, but in a more public style, rather than just "Staff" for a whole company.

I believe that now you've managed to script Trash missions which has multiple set points, it could be possible to script a stand-alone mission for a bus, giving people a reason to use it, as most people dislike it's poor handling and slow speed. At least with the coach you get 150+  KPH and poor steering :P

It will also pave a way to people creating new and exciting bus mods, much like how Nyclo8 created a coach mod (Sorry if i spelt his name wrong) which is amazing and even i have used this mod!

What would be unlocked?

500k + /Taxi command, which gives you a list of destinations you can travel to for X amount of $$$$. Which CAN be used while you're a suspect, however NOT as a cop.

So it's not overpowered, when using /taxi there's a 5 minute cool down, as well as a 30 second wait while you "teleport" so you move from lets say, Whetstone to a landmark in LV, the Airport, you'll be stood still in Whetstone for 25 seconds, and the camera zoom out that's been created can be used, which will drag across the map, where you'll be shown at the 30 second mark (or there abouts :P) Not only does CT get to show off sexy camera moves, but also the player gets the feeling of moving and not just "popping" from one point to another, as well as not being able to "quickly" vanish from cops.

If a cop is in /n, then the /taxi will fail stating "The taxi driver has noticed you are wanted and has abandoned you", which also stops suspects abusing it to troll cops, and although they can use it, they'd have to use it wisely and only for emergencies.

The only locations you can land will be landmarks around the map, including LS (which has some horrible spawn points, if any at all especially for truckers) and will also allow people to park in the more remote areas, or closer to their house as they can use /taxi to arrive at their trucks (if you add truck park menu).

Example of a menu system for /taxi



Amounts are an example, it would depend on your location, more than the "speciality" of the dealership. The longer you travel the more it costs ranging from $1000-$5000

The missions are simple, they'd be around LS, LV, SF and anywhere bus stops are located.

This could, if the server could handle it, pave the way for Tram missions in SF, however it's debateable whether that'd be just a grind going round in circles all day, possibly causing crashes.

I hope to see bus missions! It'd be a nice addition!

Thanks for reading!

I was fining players around DLTD and the quarry, when this guy rammed me. I went down towards LS, and again he rammed me as i was trying to pass, but he failed and crashed himself.

I then decided to get some more proof so this fool can actually get dealt with. I drove following his friend who i knew he was following, and thus i got enough proof. His friend tried to DM me off video, but i got him reversing into me right after i started recording. As you can see, the chat matches with the first video and proves that it was the same moment and nothing was said by me to provoke.

Guys, I know how tough thieving is, so i'll generally if close to the unload let you go in and then arrest you. If you crash or stop, that's your fault, i'll arrest you then.

This guy however stopped, paid me to not jail him.

It's not that he paid me that's bad, it's the insult that it brings, as if i'm shallow enough to break cop rules for $15,000. It could be $1m i'd still not do it.

I'm all for fun but please don't insult me with bribes...i'd rather just have a laugh online, and everyone gets the /work they need done in a happy manner :)

@Admins, vogan realised his mistake online and did apologise, so perhaps a slap on the wrist rather than anything dramatic. He just needs to understand what things like this lead to for BOTH parties involved.

Thanks :)

Tom.

Moderators and administrators alike should actively cleanse the forum by checking older threads, either stickied or not, to see if they are relevant.

If they are not, the threads should be locked without reply and un-stickied if necessary.

If the administrators find a topic that is still fair to use or should not be removed even thought it's over it's 30 day time limit, it should be locked if it's not applicable to reply to, but left to be seen, or a reply should be committed by the member of staff stating "This thread is despite over the 30 limit, ok to be used, continue replying if on topic"

The reason for this is, admins do a lot of work on reports and problems and complaints and ban appeals, but what do moderators actually do on the forums, despite the occasional warn or removing topics, even without the consent of others (staff) or moderating the post by removing anything that shouldn't have been said.

Staff should be working alongside us, as helpful companions and not guardians of a forbidden land that must remain sacred.

I unloaded as you can see in my chatbox, as i was starting work i get rammed out of the unload, then he drives off ramming me some more.

He blames his lag, which he had a ping of 74 at the time which wasn't spiking.

Any lag he had was packet loss, or a lie.

If you know you're lagging this much, you don't play it's simple.

Hi Guys,

Got a report against [username]Sergio98.[/username] who is clearly farming with his friend sergio in this video.

I've also attached a chatlog, highlighting the cop and killer as well as chat from myself. You'll be able to see it matches with the video, with the general chat removed where unrequired.

To have a desync while thieving, to then come back and find someone thieving with cop help is another thing. Being a thief is frustrating as no one is a cop anymore! It's rare to see more than 2 cops online especially at this time of night so it's disgusting to see these two fools cheating, it just means anyone who did these missions took the hard and bumpy road, while this guy cruises around Eyre with his friend....it's insulting to everyone who thieves.

FYI: Sorry for the resolution, i was watching netflix while playing GTA:SA

It's short, yes, but as you can see he is intentionally turning into that hill for no reason at a slow speed as if to block me. You can tell from his angle of attack he is coming from the left, i was cc'd at 50kph to get past him on the hill. He had rammed me just moments ago while turning around in bayside and nearly knocked my trailer off.

This kid is immature.
