Question, when it says you can defend yourself, does that mean with the default hammer? And either way, can you defend yourself after one hit or is it 2 or more?

Whenever somebody does 15 or more damage to you, you can kill them with the hammer or any weapon you have on hand without getting demerits.

how do you plan to implement these features through mod programming?

Through a stuff-ton of GUI's and databases. The company GUI has a lot of preferences to lay off or demote players depending on when they last did their job. The manufacturing GUI is basically just a spreadsheet with a list of every manufacturable item and their inventory, quotas, and required resources. I'll post pics of the GUI's soon and it'll make more sense.

The crime system checks for witnesses whenever a crime is committed. If a player witnesses a crime or discovers evidence they can report it at the police station or through their cellphone (if purchased). If a policeman witnesses a crime or discovers evidence the criminal will get demerits instantly.

Self defense is pretty simple as it just checks if the offending player recently damaged you, stole from you, molested you, etc. and allows you to damage them in return without counting as a crime.

What are some other responsibilities the mayor should have besides adjusting tax rates and criminal fines?

I'm curious as to what you're using this for. Checking for lines in the console is a bad idea. It would be much easier to .save() the object and read the file.

Help / Re: Creating a VPS to host servers

« on: August 27, 2018, 02:30:31 AM »

I've never used Azure so I'm not sure what it entails. Basically a VPS is just an instance of an OS running on the same hardware as other operating system instances. Since the server is not anywhere near you, you will need to remote in with Windows Remote Desktop. To do this you will need 1) an IP address, 2) a username, and 3) a password from your VPS host. Once you remote in you can install applications as your normally would on your computer. Instead of port forwarding through your router all you need to do is allow Blockland.exe through Windows Firewall.
