Title: HRP Pre-Update Announcement
Post by: Top Hatted Cat on October 25, 2014, 07:56:16 AM: (http://catalyst-gaming.net/Themes/DSv4c2/images/harborrp.png)
Pre-Update Announcement
Server Updated

This next HRP update will be quite a big one. I am completely replacing the current inventory system with a new system and I am adding a weapon pack. This means a complete inventory wipe will happen when this update hits. In the future I may add a way to get cash back for your old items, however I don't intend on doing this with the next update.

I plan on pushing this update in the next few days, so I do not recommend purchasing any weapons you do not intend on using.

New Inventory Layout (Please ignore the text going off the panel):

The New Inventory
The new inventory will be weight based which means you will no longer be able to carry around 300 AK-47s without breaking a sweat. This is to hopefully make gun dealers and BMDs more useful, as at the moment it is easier to self-supply a few shipments of weapons than actually going to a gun store. All purchased entities from the F4 menu will now go into your inventory instead of spawning on the floor and you will be able to holster weapons without dropping them.

The Weapon Pack
The weapon pack I am adding is the M9K pack. It includes a variety of different weapons of much higher quality than the current DarkRP weapons we are using. I am also modifying weapon prices to be slightly more expensive.

If you have any questions or issues with this, feel free to post a comment and I'll reply as soon as I can.

You best start selling inventory.
Title: Re: HRP Pre-Update Announcement
Post by: Nicknero on October 25, 2014, 01:14:56 PM: Indeed. The whole purpose of this early announcement is so people don't buy new weapons and start selling whatever they have left so they can get the most money out of it.
I have no idea if TopHattedCat was planning to code a refund system for the old inventories. I kinda doubt it.

I am thinking any automatic weapon would be illegal, and the pistols & shotgun will be legal, like they currently are.

Going by the American gun laws, everything that isn't automatic or military-grade. If this is true, legal weapons would include:

Bayonet Blade
Colt 1911
Ka-Bar Knife
L42A1
Benelli M4 Super 90
Makarov
SKS

Dragunov SVD may also be legal considering I've seen more than a few online and in gun stores, but it could always be kept as a BMD weapon as it is a considerable upgrade over the L42A1.

EDIT: Also, something else that came into my head just now: What if we split the "illegal" weapons into two groups.

The "black market" weapons (Weapons that only a BMD can spawn) would include the AK-47, FN FAL, RPG, RPK, and Dragunov.

The "Coast Guard" weapons (Weapons that only a CG Commander can spawn) would include the M14, M16A4, M249, and RGD-5.

Thoughts?

Sounds good, except the CG Commander spawning weapons. Why not have an NPC in the government building which would supply guns to the Coast Guard?

I love the idea of having an equipment supplier NPC for CGs, would really allow for you to adjust to certain situations.

um

unless you live in a liberal state, sure, you cant get automatic guns without some sort of a permit, but for the most part you can purchase them without much of a hassle.

ANYWAYS

pls dont try and make it uber realistic. at least allow us to stock up on a decent amount of guns, i dont want to have to run to the BMD every fucking hour to get another gun. HRP isnt meant to be realistic, its just a darkrp clone.

On topic, inventory is going to be weight based, but I do hope that there is enough room to store several guns and ammo.

budi, here in nevada it's pretty easy to get my hands on a fully automatic AK-47

texas, arizona, new mexico, ect, they also have very lenient gun laws

Use this... I already suggested this for the CG. Also... I WANT TO BUY MY M249 for my civi.... by far the best gun of irl other than an M60. CG and BMD should share a few weapons.

That's being added, I just overlooked it when making the list. It's there now, though.
