Diggy's Metropolis Server

[Niliscro]

There's one problem with respawning when you're killed. Your weapon is gone and when you reconnect, your ammo get lower and lower every time you leave/join the server. I hope no one else has noticed this bug yet, I don't want to repost about it.

Now that I think about it, I noticed that my 9mm ammo was lower than I expected when I busted out the Deagle earlier.
So, a list of known bugs:
-Fire turns bricks red
-Bounty hunter jobs can only perform a citizen's arrest
-Ammo drops with each reconnect when the user owned a weapon in the past but lost it due to death (and possibly by tossing it?)
-Batons are still messed up with self defense (or maybe self defense is messed up as a whole)
-Some job items are missing, like the jackhammer
-Players can still earn EXP for baton-killing people (due to self defense), even though they didn't actually arrest them
-Chainsaw can cause players to crash
-Deletion cubes FSU


And finally, some suggestions/elaborations on the to do list:
-If a player robs a cash register or safe, instead of the cop getting the money as proceeds of crime, or instead of the criminal transferring money to an offshore swiss bank account where it's safe no matter what (aka any bank in Metro), the money is returned to the safe from which it was stolen
~Make some high-level jobs (such as Vigilante, the final cop job, and the final crim job) be agile playertypes that can freerun and whatnot (there's already a playertype for this).  If this was done, cash requirement for the job would be increased, and possibly the exp requirement.  If anything, make it possible to buy a steroid or something that would allow players to do this until they get killed or reconnect.
-Drugs, once agriculture is done (maybe they could be an expansion on agriculture)
-Meteorite could use some fixing
-If you haven't done it already, add bolt/arrow ammo to the rain command and crafting events
~Power grid, based on:

You would have to buy these little bricks (probably 1x1 or 1x1 plates) that once you place them on your lot, you can use events.  They would charge you a small fee (no more than $8) per tick depending on your lot size.  If you wanted to get really fancy, they could charge you more or less depending on how much "power" you use, aka how many events you have.

-Non-cops can only pick up limited batons, and any full batons that are dropped are either deleted right away, or deleted from inventory if a non-police job picks it up

The suggestions marked with ~ are just stuff I'm throwing out there.  Let me know if I missed anything on the known bugs list, I'll be updating this regularly as things are fixed or as new bugs are found.

other than me who was there when hoogle somehow got admin and was killing everyone with events every third minute

You're a fool.

Hey diggy could you make a one time use item that lets you diguise as someone(name and av changes to the person you are disguising as) that only vigilante and assassin would get?

[Spikeman]

But then it would ruin the game and would be considered cheating. I don't think it's a good idea.

[Bloxxed]

An idea for assassin would so it can climb up building
Like off Assassin's creed.
Another Idea was if shopkeepers/shopowners/entrepenuar's are arrested, they cannot sell stuff in jail.

Bloxxed, what do you think the grapple rope does?

I should have gotten 3800$ from jailing now :(

As all noobs would say to the admins: FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT

[Spikeman]

So you're basicaly calling yourself a noob?

Then why are you posting here?

on-topic:
So yeah what happened to the server now? I was in a horrible bad mood, so I wanted to play in this server, because last time i jailed someone, and was about to bank my stuff, and all the sudden it crashed on me, screwing up my computer, so i came back into BL, than all the sudden, the server could not respond, but right now the servers not up, so i figured that the server crashed.

I believe that there needs to be more experience to apply for the position of a police officer, and being a student officer could help gain that experience. The student officers would receive little payment, and would not get paid for arresting criminals. This would lower the demand for Police positions, and also allow a more fluent system in Economics, seeing to that a majority of the money that flows through Metropolis is obtained through jailing others.

The current system basically creates a more intense and more crime filled city than it should be. This is highly ironic, seeing to that the police should be lowering the crime rate instead of promoting it.

Of course, in some ways, this is highly impractical. However, it is understandable. It's come straight from the mouths of the players. This is my second attempt in making Metropolis a more content place, so more decent people would move in than those already settled down... (Of course, most people who aren't decent leave the city in a heartbeat, or have their reasons)

I understand you have already been laying off city police by not giving vigilantes (players with temporary batons) a profit upon jailing other players, this leaves the players with the normal police baton.

To my understanding, this would be pretty easy to do, because all you would have to do is add a new job, and raise the experience necessary for becoming a Police Officer.

So the Student Police officers would receive a temporary baton
and
The Police Officers would receive an actual baton, and would need a certain amount of experience to apply for.

Please consider this, I don't necessarily expect it to be accepted totally, but it can be used as a stepping stone for further city improvement overall.

Thank you, and good luck. I expect it to go a long way <3

The server is down currently, it should be back up soon.  There is great progress on the mod!

Hello again, I am now finished with the whole moving process and have finally signed the lease. Now I will have time to work on the mod more. I'm not sure how I'm going to host this, but chances are I'll do it on my own PC or host box. As for the mod:
-Bounty hunters might be left with citizen's arrest, much like in real life, their main purpose is to go after bounties and not get paid for arresting criminals
-the problems with the baton are probably rooted in the self defense script, i'll look into the code
-deletion cubes are gone, unneeded

Does this mean everything will be reset?
Or, at the least, will there be open land to actually be able to buy?

If you mean reset your accounts; Yes
Also, there will be plenty of land to buy once the server opens officially, but right now he's working a little bit on the mod and the city at the same time.

I'm excited to see that my Colorset is being used in some really really spectacular builds.
