CityMod

Then you had to take into consideration property damage as a crime, whether it regenerates or has to be replaced, how much it'd cost, etc
It also removes any form of privacy anyone has.
And what would prevent an officer from getting charged with property damage when a criminal hides in his neighbor's house?

It would be neat but I can see a few complications

I always hated how people could literally blow up your house and walk in, then not get any dems. It should be like five demerits a brick I swear.

Watch out for those 1x1 plate houses!

You mean the spam ones, or the highly detailed ones?

[Xalos]

What he's talking about would apply to both.

Also, maybe five demerits per TU³, instead? Then you couldn't give someone thousands of demerits by dodging a rocket while in front of a spam red house.

[AdinX]

There won't be spam houses
Lots will work as such: you either buy an already built "building"
Or you buy an "empty" lot, that is basically level with the road and looks like a construction yard.

If someone can't build a decent looking building or it doesn't match the city's theme, their lot will instantly be repositioned, they won't be refunded, and if it becomes a repeat offense where they keep making log cabins in the city, then they will progressively receive harsher and harsher bans.

There is no excuse for having an ugly build here because if you're a stuffty builder, there will be pre-made structures and people you could hire to build for you.

Yeah, I can do this.  Also just to clear this up, the wanted system is based off of Charges, not Demerits.  So For instance, if you kill someone (and you get caught) the charge, "MURDER", will be added to your charges list.  Then when your inevitable jail sentence comes along, the time you'll serve is based upon these charges.

IE:  Five minutes for one account of Assault.

[AdinX]

I hope by assault = 5 minutes
you mean like if I punch you in the face, I get 5 minutes of jail time
because I'm murder is like half an hour minimum, I would actually prefer murder to be an hour.

I hope slippery lawyers will play a factor.

Autocorrect? :v
But I think those crime times may be a little bit overkill, unless you can actually do anything in the jail.

You can do the usual CityRPG stuff, such as mining.  But you won't get insta-paid out for these rocks that you mine.

Also did I mention you could break out of jail? :)

Yes
Something like 7 or 8 pages ago I asked about it

A lot of the mod is fairly realistic. Gone are the days of walking amongst giant holes imbetween roads and being able to rocket jump across the map and killing 30 people with a Gatling gun. In real life, if you get charged with assault, you could face a little jail time.

Maybe it would be worth it to have a way for criminals to surrender peacefully, and this would give them a much more lenient sentencing, in the example of first degree murder and one hour, dropped down to maybe 50 minutes, and then 45 minutes for good behavior in jail as well as paying bail

How are the arrest mechanics so far?

You make the criminal weak enough to handcuff then you bring them to the police station.

more than likely via police car (i.e. Fordor Police or SUV Police, by Phydeoux, unless Brian can convince him to make custom vehicles... Which I personally don't think we need.)
There are also tasers that disable you for about 2-3 seconds
handcuffs make it so you can run and move around, but you can't use ANY items or click in general. If a cop right clicks on you, you follow him. I'm unsure if you're able to put a person in a squad car, then make them get out to bring them to jail...

It would be kinda fun to have a Christmas Day 2-hour public alpha test
Give out 10 passwords, have a little bit of the city set up, each person is allowed to bring one friend...?

Or I dunno some kind of fun little raffle
Maybe an extra $500 starting cash for the top 3 winners or something

[tber123]

I would gladly be in the 2-hour public alpha.
