This topic was made to discuss the actual scripting/coding of the mod. If you would like to help code it, I'd be glad to consider you. If you are in the 19-11 Clan, ask Furdle about the building of the city, he's in charge of that.

V1.0:
+ CityRPG Born on 11/4/2012
+ Base 'skeleton' of mod assembled
+ JazZ joins the team
+ Saving system,"Anna" created
V1.1
-/+ Anna temporarily replaced with Sassy 1.3
= JazZ quits only to later rejoin because he loves Dionysus
+ Labor completed by JazZ - being worked on
+ Brickpack system completed by Dionysus
+ Farming mockup made by Pacnet
V1.2
- JazZ officially drops out of project
-/+ Labor system remade by Dionysus
+ Time system finished by Dionysus
- Farming mockup by Pacnet trashed

There is much more undisclosed progress, we will let you guys know later.

Just things that made me want to make/host my own CityRPG in the past, don't have to read to know whats going on.

Ever since back in v8 when I first found out about Blockland, I've somehow known about CityRPG. I didn't really mind it, all the drama that came along with it was immensely stupid, so I just stayed away for a while. Later on, in v14, I joined a server of Wicked's, CityRPG. It was the funnest server I had ever played, and think about it, It's the first time I had ever used Iban's v2. His, Tape's, and JJstorm's made Blockland so much funner. It was very fun, then. Now it's overused and you can't find a good server with it. Might as well not use it. Regardless, I had always looked up to Iban and Wicked as my two favorite Blocklanders. I know Iban is quite the starfish, and Wicked doesn't talk to barely anybody he doesn't know, but I've always thought they were both pretty cool. Then, one day, I googled 'Gamemode_CityRPG blockland' and Gadgethm's edit of Iban's CityRPG showed up, I was so excited because I didn't have any good mods before this. So eventually, I started hosting, my first server ever, was honestly, in my opinion, a load of stuff. The playercount however, when it reached 15, it didn't drop below it. I was amazed. I was really stupid then too, I didn't know what to make of it, thank god everyone knew how to contain themselves, because I would've made a fool out of myself if I tried then. Recently I met up with an old friend who I thought had quit Blockland for good, there's been a good bit of my friends who have quit Blockland, and I never got to stay in touch with them, like Jigalon and Hilo. Dannu is back and he says he wont quit, and I don't want to lose touch with him again. He taught me almost everything I know about playing CityRPGs, what he used to build has influenced my building skills, little at that, whenever I play CityRPGs, I'll be damned if my base isn't impenetrable. I look back to that time now and think, what if I did that again, with a new mod, and a better city? So now I'm here. Hosting CityRPG.

The mod I am making has a few good new features, plus, it's not laggy like the usual deal you have. So I plan to have a profession system similar to Iban's. Even though I have always absolutely hated the idea of 'Exp' if you will, I fear I might just have to use it. For an example on the 'Profession' system, if your profession is Laborer, you would probably start out as a Miner/Lumberjack, then make your way up to the nice wages of a Factory Worker. Another principle is labor is absolutely necessary for the city to function. Selling your ore and wood gives the City materials, and the City uses the factory to turn those materials into Bricks. You buy bricks from the City, to build a house, mansion, tower, meth lab, whatever. Pickaxes and Axes are upgradable. The higher grade of Pickaxe/Axe you have, the better ores you can mine, and thus, more money you get payed for selling your ores! We will implement farming and a system of sharecropping, but that is not necessary. If you want to pick on a black friend of yours, bring him to my server, work your way up to owning a lot and sharecrop cotton with him. There will be a myriad of more features to come as they are brought up and addressed.

I would also like everyone to know, that without this community, and my friends, this mod would go nowhere. I wouldn't have the myriad of private addons I've collected if it werent for you guys. JazZ is doing a great job helping, and a few other people are expected to join in.

If you need/want to contact me about something on this project, say maybe you want to help you can PM me or contact me through steam.
