any word on this or is it still a no?

// especially if killing said unit means that he might actually get away with the crime since no one else is around, etc.

[OOC] Luca Paytner: are you a dev
Dr. Pepper has disconnected from the server.
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: sorta
[OOC] Luca Paytner: if u r, mind looking at my PAC suggestion
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: i can arleady tell you that wont og through
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: wow how do i england
[OOC] Luca Paytner: really? damn. it'd be cool for golds only
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: i know, i sort of want it in too
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: but idk
Dr. Pepper has connected to the server.
[OOC] Luca Paytner: if people make themselves giants or ass pull equipment they'd just get their benefits removed and banned, etc
[LOOC] Richard Traugott: :3
[LOOC] Richard Traugott: ( ?° ?? ?°)
[OOC] Luca Paytner: its easy to take a screenshot of someoen abusing pac anyways
[LOOC] Luca Paytner: ngr
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: we like logs a lot
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: so if it is implemented it'll probably have lots of logs
[OOC] Luca Paytner: well, a screenshot of someone putting a shotgun on their back when they don't actually have one is easy. just f12 and steam will do it for u
[OOC] C18.MPF.ECHO-TrO.56009: mhm
[OOC] Luca Paytner: and then all you need is for it to be logged for everytime someone opens pac, and just say the date of the screenshot and they're doomed.
[OOC] Luca Paytner: rip gold benefits just so you could look 2edgy4me
what would happen if someone abused, abridged version in spoilers.

Changed spoilers to [code]. because the OOC tags make additional spoilers that are annoying to read. ~Khub

up the prop limit for gold donators (if there is one)


and give them adv. duplicator.

seeing as it gets annoying constantly re-building your apartment / scenery, etc.

Dunno if its possible but a similar system to F2.

The catch is that when you press that button, people would only recognize you by a nickname you set.

There'd still be the F2 option that would let people recognize your full name but that other option, say, F3(?) would only allow people to recognize you by a nickname you set. It'd have to be only one nickname, though, to prevent people from switching nicknames constantly and being a huge cluster fuck.

EDIT: Found a plugin to start this off.

Go to the middle of the clockwork section and there is a nickname plugin .rar

Swagile's Tool Trust Application

Age: 17
Time in HL2RP: Id say... A week? I don't come on as much as most due to the fact that the server was constantly being attacked half the time so RPing was like attempting to be a robot.

Character Name(s):
Luca Paytner

What will you use Tool Trust for?
I will use Tool Trust for general cosmetics and to improve atmosphere. Such as dropping a pot that was just knocked out of my hand, or creating debris from explosions, etc.

Have you ever had Tool Trust removed? No

MPF units should still receive it. One of the whole points of having the CCA in the HL2 lore was to have a volunteer force of law enforcers that have their lives made slightly better by doing so (hence, free tokens, better food, etc).

Or this:

idk if people saw my suggestion a while ago, it was to remove all paychecks entirely, give dvls and maybe ofcs a paycheck or just a weekly/monthly lump sum and make them pay their own units however they wish/however is allowed (maybe all of cca has a fixed rate pay, or maybe each dvl can pay based on performance, whatever)

then this also removes tokens randomly flowing into citizens asschecks and gives citizens a real reason to keep tokens, though again there would have to be no gigantic stupid roleplay breaking lump sum for donating, but whatever, i've never seen it done in hl2rp and i think it would work amazingly


edit: i just realized how offtopic this thread went but still participating in current discussion which id a nice discussion so

Idea can be implemented for a trial period.

I, personally, give me character an IC reason as to why he would need to spawn in v flag items. Ex. saying you find a dealer who makes weekly (OOC) drops into the City that you can collect, or that you're the one who goes out yourself and gets them, and while doing so, you cant use your character for an OOC duration of time, agreed upon usually with Admins so that it's monitored.
As for application only v flags...that's stupid, in my opinion. You'll kill the need for donations and in turn, kill the server. I say just rid of the paycheck, tokens need more value to them. The whole reason people abuse spawning items is because they have so much money to spend it on.

also on the note of the business menu, i personally believe the v flag should have the token paycheck stripped from it before it starts sending the token economy into a pile of useless shit like it did on old hl2rp so people cant just spawn like 100 shipments of something and still have like 10k tokens left over because of their v flag paycheck

Even though they donated and, I guess, should get benefits for what they donated, giving them v flag is kinda ridiculous. Especially because of the fact that they have a constant paycheck and can spawn in general goods with a shitty excuse. Personally, I only know one person who has legitimately used v flag well, and thats one out of ten people.

At least give some rules on v flags, like some sort of RP going into it, seeing as I saw a fully fitted bar in the slums that JUST appeared, and the guy was dealing out large quanitities of booze with, to be honest, no truly substantial IC explanation.

we dont get V flags due to being admin, and i still stand by the fact that v flag should not have a paycheck and it just encourages them not to bother ever going for their rations which contains tokens in it (along with other stuff like food and water necessary for survival)

EDIT: and as smt said, V flag should require like an insanely good reason behind it along with the person in question being really trusted not to abuse it, but even then

This suggestion seems to be wanted by a few, and since we derailed the last thread, I am posting any relevant quotes to support the idea.

If you wish you can post relevant quotes and / or ideas on how this wouldn't be a good thing for the server.
