Haha, needed to get a huge event going to get as many as we could in game for this time.
Yes, after much, much delay and drama...it's here. We had the misfortune of losing Stevo127 before work could begin on this version, which set us back quite a while. I have been working pretty much non-stop on this update the last Two months (Ms_Understood will testify to that Barely said two words to her the last Two months!). WatakiWatako...without this man, this update wouldn't be out. He has been a GREAT help. Between us, we were able to work out 90% of the long standing irritating bugs. He has also done a fantastic job on his own features in this version, such as the Cop Teaming system. So a HUGE Thank you to Wataki for all his help.
I have dubbed this "The Update Of The People" for the simple reason, I used a lot of the suggestions players had brainstormed, we also added a few extra features onto their idea and tweaked them in certain fashions. Another thank you goes out to those who suggested features and for those who posted bugs. For those players whose suggestions weren't used, don't lose hope, always next version.
So...onto the additions!
WareHouse.
The Warehouse can be used by any member of the community to store their Cash, C4, Weed and Heroin. It's located just next to the Northern Fire base. It can be seen on the map
with the "Save Game" icon.
You purchase Warehouse space from City Hall for 2 Million Dollars.
The basic Warehouse space can hold the following:
Code: [Select]
Money: 2 Million.
C4: 30 Blocks.
Weed: 2000 Grams.
Heroin: 50 Injections woth.
Your inventory will be saved even after server restarts, it works much like the ECNR Store item Backpack, except a Backpack is with you at all times, whereas you need to drive to this to store or retrieve your items.
Once the 2 Million is paid, the basic Warehouse space is yours forever.
Cops:
Cop Teams/Groups
Cop Teams are an addition to the law enforcement jobs, including Cops and the Army. Primarily designed to encourage teamwork, as the name suggests, the teaming system allows law enforcement officers to create, manage and most importantly, benefit from groups of several officers.
Upon creating a team, it is possible to invite other players. Once in a team, the entire team will benefit from arrests that are made by nearby team members.
The Cop Teams use an innovative GUI which can be accessed through the /team command. All other functions including creating groups, deleting groups, viewing group members and inviting players to your group are controlled directly within the GUI.
When a cop handcuffs a player, now it will make use of the handcuffed animation on the player.
Firefighting:
Although this feature of the script was previously released, it was completely non-functional.
In V1.2, we have made a series of critical bug fixes. As a result, it is now possible to extinguish fires and the helicopters (/fillwater and /waterdrop) can be used correctly.
A summary
The upgraded firefighting system is a major improvement on it's predecessor, improving upon realism and generally, making the experience much more enjoyable as well as encouraging team work.
As a firefighter, you are able to spawn at the North or South base, as always. Vastly improving on the previous version, the frequency of fires will vary depending upon the quantity of players online at the time. This ensures an acceptable balance of idle time, allowing firefighters to regroup and resupply, while eliminating the need to ask an admin to start a fire!
When responding to a fire, you will receive a fast response bonus including cash and score if you reach the scene of the fire within a defined period of time after it starts. Each fire has independently placed fire and smoke effects, creating the optimum realism. To extinguish the fire quickly, a large group of firefighters will be required. Unlike in the previous version where the fires were simply on a timer, a fire will now only be extinguished if there are firefighters on scene, dousing the flames. Note that the helicopters are a valuable asset, in most situations they are the most efficient option although the lack of speed and maneuverability will result in a disadvantage when dealing with a fire that is far from the nearest helipad.
The reward for extinguishing a fire will be shared throughout all firefighters who worked on that particular scene. This reward is calculated based upon the effort of each individual. If you extinguish the fire alone, you will receive the entire reward although this will take a relatively long period of time.
Feature List
?In most situations, dousing a fire with /dropwater is more efficient than using an extinguisher or fire truck as more water can be dropped if the distance to the nearest helipad isn't too extreme.
?The time taken to extinguish a fire depends on the intensity of fire, size of building, number of firefighters on scene and the methods that they use
?A fast response bonus will be rewarded when suitable
?Firefighters are notified of team mates arriving at a fire
?It is possible for more than one fire to occur simultaneously when a suitable number of firefighters are online
?The frequency of fires will vary with the number of online firefighters.
If there are no firefighters online, there will be no fires.
Miscellaneous:
You no longer need to be a Thief to use /rob. Although Thiefs will get 3 Score points for doing so, compared to the 1 point for every other skill.
Server restarts now only occur when there is no players online. As these can be quite annoying and a player count killer.
Auto Jails are now set for players who leave while handcuffed.
Most Wanted Criminals now recieve a score point for killing a cop or army.
Players must now have at least a score of 25 to play as a cop. This is to avoid futher abuse.
Fires now Echo to IRC.
All Irish spawn points have been removed.
More boats have been placed in the water for players who "fall off" Ireland.
Regular Players:
Regular Players now have the ability to start events, using the command /adevent. Players who abuse this will lose their privilege to use it.
However, Regs cannot give weapons during the event, this is to avoid potential abuse.
More Regular Player exclusive vehicles have been scattered around.
Only Regular Players can purchase Warehouse space.
Trash Delivery:
Skew the competition! The Trash Collection job has a new command, /trashbomb.
To plant a bomb in a bag of trash, approach the bag and type /trashbomb, this will rig the bag with explosives. The next person to use /pickup while standing next to the bag will get a nasty suprise!
/trashbomb requires a skill level of 20 and you must have a block of C4 before using the command. Each player can place a maximum of two trash bombs at a time.
After reaching trash skill level 16, it is now possible to use the four Dunes which are now located at the Whitewood Estates base.
ECNR Store:
Kelvin's House with vehicle.
Kelvin_Campe's purchased house.
Hiredgun's Exclusive Skin.
Hiredgun will now spawn with his weapon pack & Armour.
Hiredgun has a Backpack.

Since both Cookie & Kelvin were waiting considerable amounts of time for their purchases, I've done the following:
Given Cookie a free house.
Kelvin_Campe is now the owner of Boatbahn.
The Rebellion:
Hiredgun purchased the following for The Rebellion:
A Bank Account.

Increased the size of the Green Haven exit checkpoint, hopefully this stops players from falling from the sky. Just to be safe, make sure not to run through it. Although feel free to test and let us know.
Blowing up The Sherman Dam now gives you two score points, it was previously no points.
Checkpoints taking you into a building although being in a car. (Fixed for most checkpoints, please post in bugs section with any ones that I've missed)
Administration:
The Anti-Speed Hack System is more sensitive.
Administrators will now recieve a message when another admin is Spectating or has stopped spectaing a player.
!padan, works just like !adan, except it sends the announcment to a certain player.
!backpack. Players must be given their Backpacks as soon as they are purchased from the ECNR Store.
