CityRP Cloud

[Scriode]

How is This Different From Other CityRPs?
Well it's not that different really. Currently the gamemode has no additions. No drugs, no new and improved crime or whatever you want. That belongs in the suggestions. That kind of stuff will be added later.

What is this?
This is CityRP Cloud (CityRPC). Have you ever spent a lot of time on a CityRP and you were disappointed if the server went down for one reason or another? Maybe not, but if you were, here is the solution. Currently I have a dynamic server set up to store everyone's CityRP stats. So money, lumber, jail stuff, and everything else that must be saved. It will share the data between all servers running the gamemode so if you decide you want to move to another server to play with a friend, you can still progress.

Oh you think that is all? You were wrong! There is also an Android application being made so you can view your progress. Seems boring right? Maybe, but when you can't get on the computer there are little minigames that you can still earn cash! Be careful because there are chances to lose that money.

Currently it is a work in progress and things might change.

So what's next?
Good question. The cloud is stable with Blockland at the current state. I hope to improve authentication so there is little to no effort setting this all up. Right now I am in heavy development on the app to easily link it up to your in-game stats.

Beta
Yes there will be a closed beta. Unfortunately it will be needed. I'll need a group of people that are willing to endure many bugs and glitches. If it is open to public I will get a lot of complaints. I need individuals that would much rather contribute for the good of the mod other than to complain. I will get a sign up page when we are approaching a working state.

FAQ

• Will there be an app for iOS?     Currently, no. If someone is willing to do it, be my guest
• So you are going to make the add-on open source?     Probably not, but who knows. Only time can tell

I'll try to update this as much as possible with progress.
If you have any questions, suggestions/requests, or other things, please contact me through PM.

Lol, not even reading anything here, but if you do want an iOS app you'll need people to jailbreak to use that cuz the chances of you getting it onto the app store is slimmer than a hair.

That's what I was thinking. I don't think it's worth the effort for me to go and learn Objective C just to do it.

Maybe in the future.

If you make it open source then any host can send in false data. Either it's per-server or it's private. This has been discussed and proven several times before.

so how are you going to decide who is going to host?
where are you going to host the server?

Well the cloud server uses an authentication system that only certain servers can connect to. So I have to allow them to retrieve the data. This is to prevent from people with stolen versions from gaining access to the data.

Currently I'm not planning on hosting it, but having select players host it.

The group that will be hosting it asked me not to release their information due to the attacks that they have seen throughout Blockland.

Go for it. Obviously there is no way to keep it from you, but for now it's private.

So every server that uses this has to be running the same CityRP? I'm really confused by what you're trying to do here. You would need several servers that have a rather large userbase for this to be useful at all. Like this would be cool if you made it so you had a few servers that were different districts of one city so that way your stats are shared between them all. But really I just don't get it

That is exactly how it works.
