bump to let people know this isn't dead
there's a bit of a development hiatus at the moment because all my homework and projects are due next week and i need to work on them. i don't expect any work to be done on this until january
right now im making a .dll on the side that allows for client environments which im going to use for the coolest drug effects ever known to man
here's some pictures of me developing and these pictures are really interesting and i feel as if i should post them
be thrilled
we still need loops from non-mainstream music genres right now, we're being a little too liberal with the discos and we need other stuff to make the music more diverse
Note: Even if it's 100% benign and open-source expect an injected DLL to get your key(s) revoked, not to mention good luck enforcing it without having people whine endlessly about "muh serverside experience" (also, IIRC you can call secureClientCmds from the client side, you just can't fake them serverside, meaning you can probably cause clients to alter their environment settings with a regular client mod)
Notes 2-n: The basis of CityRPG is flawed and you're loving yourself over using it or trying to satisfy the people who play it; you're much better off designing a new game based 100% around the criminal enterprise thing that inevitably happens
No economic "simulation" will be good enough to justify how finicky it is, re: "government funds" and taxation
Open building makes the map terrible inevitably (and requires admin intervention to manage it, which has literally never worked, not since the original CityRP servers to Diggy's nor any other, due to favoritism and/or laziness)
* Build different businesses which are NPC-managed; separate gun stores, legit drug stores, hemp farms, even apartment complexes
* Extort businesses for protection contracts to gain money from their sales, forget over anyone who tries to muscle in on your contracts
* Rob banks, businesses, and unsuspecting schmucks for petty (or not so petty) cash - including cybercrime allowing you to rob other people's accounts if you can get the right information
* Steal guns and cars, sell them through import/export docks
* Embezzle funds from your group, screw your friends
