I made the ugly and horribly outdated weapon code I guess

i really don't like this. it's telling someone who's trying to get into a skill that if they don't know how to do it, they're too stupid to ever be capable of knowing how. it's not constructive and it's not useful. if someone doesn't know anything about a subject, they aren't even going to know how to ask questions about it. you can never know what you don't know, and you can't even guess at what pieces you might be missing if you don't have any point of reference. resources mean nothing if you don't know how or when they're useful to you, and you won't know how to find them if you don't even know what you're looking for.
in blockland, we have a unique situation where a lot of veteran players naturally pick up some rudimentary coding knowledge along the way, just from tinkering around with console commands or editing mods, and that definitely helps us here, but most people doing these things have no idea how this stuff is put together. if you're starting from square one like that, you really need something or someone to point you in the right direction just so you can get your feet on the ground and learn, if nothing else, just enough to know how to poke and comb your way deeper
Bricks don't cost money only the lot does, probably useless to do this???
Paychecks have been removed from half of the jobs, instead you get money for what you do.Honestly I feel you should either design all jobs around no paycheck or give everyone a stable $10 paycheck that doesn't change or something. Otherwise you have people who just do nothing but sit and wait for a steady dripfeed of money without doing anything fun or interesting.
Police OfficerOh, nice, now you can actually catch up to criminals and break the benny hi-
The next rank in your police career, you are given a taser for your work. Your speed is slightly increased.
CriminalWelp! Nevermind.
You scum! Your speed is increased and you can pickpocket players.
Marketing BranchSeems a bit shallow that the only thing you can really sell is firearms imo. Though I'm also highly against hunger, I really would love to see a server that actually encourages creative services using events, like teleportation subways or arcades/casinos.
Sell your firearms to citizens.
Medical BranchThis job branch offers paychecks simply because there's not much demand for medics in the first place in a gamemode like this. Honestly I'd say that if one of the jobs requires a paycheck to work you should scrap and redesign it in the first place. Perhaps medics would also be responsible for drug delivery or something of the like?
Heal terrified citizens. This job branch offers paychecks.
Foremanhoo boy this will be a hell to balance compared to everything else.
The final tier in the labor branch. You are rewarded with a chainsaw, a drill and you efficiently collect resources at a double rate.
There is no demerit limit. This means you can get jailed for a very long time.Jesus Christ this is a bad solution to a longstanding mass RDM problem. You're just effectively banning people for doing crime, so how's it different from simply banning people for that?
The process for hiring an architect is simple and goes as such:Why create a whole system for a job that can take much longer than an hour to complete to warrant a "contract" relationship anyway?
A client contacts an architect, they agree to a set value for the completion of the job.
The architect is given trust to the client's lot, and the client's money is taken but is not yet sent to the architect.
Once both players are happy with the completed build, the architect will get his or her money and will lose the client's trust on the lot.
If the client is attempting to scam the architect, the architect can cancel the job at any time. If the architect is up to no good, the client can also cancel the job. Cancelling the job will clear the lot and refund the client and revoke any changes made after the job request.
However, once both parties have agreed to the completed build, there are no refunds.
Other small things:See, why is there even such a limit in the first place? If you can hide forgettons of easily exploitable drugs in your lot, well its obvious what the majority of players will use lots for anyway. I've never seen the need for drugs in the first place - why not make lots act as your safehouse and possibly a money-maker via clever eventing (which will also be limited to hell)?
You cannot edit your build unless it is undergoing an architect contract. If it is, police officers can baton and fake kill any brick they choose.
Events will be limited, and custom bricks will fulfill most roles. I want to keep it straight forward for players.
FirefightingBut... you haven't even explained how fires would affect your build in the first place? Would it just be a "health hazard" so to speak? Would it occur randomly or would there be arsonists? Will it fake kill or completely destroy bricks?
You're trained in putting out fires. You have the items to put out fires now.
Grapple Masteryoh yeah great idea lets give our 10-star schoolshooter jihad bomber with a sniper rifle unlimited ability as well that will go well
You have become the grapple master -- you now spawn with grapple ropes.
Item BuilderBy resources, do you mean labor? But that would mean you'd have to be a laborer for this job to be even remotely useful, as labor branch won't have any reason to sell resources to anyone but the "global market" (aka infinite cash dispencer)
With resources you gather, you can construct your very own firearms.
NarcoticsAgain, needs to be elaborated. The current way drugs are handled in CityRPG are a loving mess for multitude of reasons.
With those false prescriptions, make your own methamphetamine!
Being a drug kingpin should be fun and scary at the same time.It's not fun if you get jailed for 5 IRL hours.
For some reason this isn't appearing in my addons list when starting a server.I think you should post console.log since that's a bit too broad of an issue.
a lot of these problems probably stem form jack noyer hosting because hes jack noyer and likely flubbed my idea significantly and loveually assaulted the playerbaseshut up cigarettebasket i did your idea exactly as you told me to
