Can we make the CCA units have 3 digits in their names again? It's much easier to remember that way and isn't utterly pointless. 3 digits in more than enough, but 5 digits is really difficult to keep track of. I don't particularly care about the MPF name but the digits are annoying.

if you struggle to remember 5 digits, just dont be retarded and remember the first 3/use the first 3
5 digits is much better in an organisational sense, especially when units have 3 digits that are very similar, we can use the last 2 to distinguish them from each other
also cids are 5 digits, so it makes sense that a units digits would be taken from a cid
-
With 3 digits we'll eventually have to recycle numbers which I'd rather not do.

If we're going to call them by the first 3 anyway, then what exactly is the point of 5?
I can't agree, really. Even if their digits are similar, the fact of the matter remains that the numbers are still different, so unless said people aren't retarded themselves, they should be able to actively differentiate between their digits. Mistaking 118 with 116 is kind of hard since the numbers are still different...
Isn't the purpose of unit digits supposed to be an alias that separates them from their old citizen life? So making it their CID which is a permanant signification of their citizen days seems rather redundant.

i have a solution
use 4 digits
-
i dont understand why we cant use 3 digits to begin with, then after all 999 digits have been exhausted (which will be a long long while), switch up to 4 digits etc

I suppose I can understand that, but I just think its easier to have things as simplistic as possible.
edit:

This.
-
As if we are ever going to have 1000 units at all...
There is no reason why we need more than 3 digits, and 5 is just annoying to remember. Constantly I have to look back at the names when I write down something that contains his digits just to make sure I wrote the right digits. 3 is SO MUCH easier to remember in short periods of time.

i think this would work the best right here actually. i vote for this.

Exactly. 5 is beyond unnecessary and a pain.
-
i was actually wondering about this earlier and i would greatly appreciate only the 3 digits
-
I say we just keep 5. I find five easy to remember (albeit I have very good recall) and my own digits could not be easier to remember. Just look at my signature.
-
So making it their CID
why would anyone do this, did someone do this?
-
I dont think we'd ever reach 1000 units anyway. And from my experience we've only had duplications of digits like 5 times. Idk, I guess it'd be nice to have 3 but I'm just used to that.
-
i cant remember unit numbers, too long
my brain is lazy and needs easy to remember things like 211
the extra numbers just distract you
-
Can't we just call units by their first three digits and then have the last two digits as a unique identifier?
-
Like I said, 5 is fine. If it's this big of a deal, just remember the first 3. I've yet to see anyone with the same first 3 digits, so you're fine.

Why change it? Why does it bother you to see 5 when you can just call them out on the first 3?

Simply out of my failing to see the need for more than is necessary and ease of remembrance. Not all of us are gifted with good memory. Yes, I can just try remembering the first 3 digits, however the last two often throw me off and makes it difficult to continue to recall for longer than a few minutes. Even for my CID, I often find myself having to hold f1 quite a few times before I can remember it for all of 2 minutes at rations, only to forget it again.
Coupled with the fact that I am evidently not the only one who feels this way. Plus we've always done it that way and its familiar.
-
I still don't see the big deal with this, it's literally two digits. Should we just remove the two digits from the CID too since it's distracting?

everything you post in suggestions is ignoring the suggestion and saying "well what we have already works okay so why change it even tho the majority wants it changed"

Pretty much this.
Why are you so against this even though most members want it this way and it's the way it was before. Stop being so lazy and listen to the people that make up the community.

If you like, you are more than welcome, though that's not really what I'm after. That's your prerogative.
lol

I'm not ignoring the suggestion. I'm asking why it's such a big deal - am I not allowed to ask? It's literally a simple question, I'm not being lazy because I can't change it to begin with.

it's not a big deal, it's a suggestion a lot of the community wants, it doesn't hinder anything and makes things simpler, there doesnt have to be an overarching gigantic reason to make a change if the community wants it, it worked before anyway, there's no reason to change the digits system

You are a developer and a HL2RP Super Admin. You have a say in this and it's why we are trying to get people to come the the realization that 3 digits is better and easier to read. Waffle is FAR MORE likely to listen to you than I or the creator of this thread if we were to message him on steam, and that's just how it is.

The big deal is player preference. Simple as that.

It is the way it is now because that is how it is by default. Khub literally just started pushing out updates, but maybe the digits change will suddenly pop up. I'm not against or for it, I just don't see a reason to change it - if people want it changed, feel free.
And no - I'm not really a superadmin. I'll quote the admin board since you guys don't actually know / can see this:
(https://vault.skarphet.com/P401JN)
It's a bit confusing - but I can't access the HL2 RP admin board in any other way, and it gives me SA access to test stuff I'm making in the future. Hope that clears up the confusion about that at least.

Doesn't matter, your word is worth a lot more to waffle than any of ours combined. Having you support this and try to get this done will increase our chances by ten fold. Waffle won't listen to us but he will listen to you, simple as that.

I'll summarise it as neatly as I can:
1. I sort of disagree with this because I don't really see the big deal, but if people want it, I guess that's how it'll end up. I won't fight it if it's put in, I'm not even fighting it now, I was just asking why it was a big deal which Frog replied to, so did Cow.
2. The reason it is how it is now is because literally no schema changes were made, all that was added was a rank loader (that we've been having trouble with, should be fixed in Khub's update) and some other stuff I may not know of. Hopefully the update will make the server's systems a bit more reliable, but we'll have to wait and see.
You'll see me whitelist people and stuff on HL2 RP - but that's because only SA's can as far as I know, and the only other SA I know of is Nicknero, and Waffle whenever he is on. I change stuff when admins ask me to, but that's about it. As far as the suggestion goes, feel free to continue with it. I just hope that the digits change will be automatic (something I bet Khub will work on if this is implemented)
If you guys really want this implemented - I guess I'll provide my support for it. I'll shoot a word to Waffle and see what he says if you guys want me to. Pretty sure he's seen this topic already - but you know.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

considering everyone wants it, I have no issue with it being done. it's up to khub at this point.

I don't think I'll ever understand how could this thread generate this much drama.
I'll include this with the next update.
