CG hints

[Somone77]

I'm working on random hints that display while you're connecting to a server, however, I'm not very knowledgeable in the area regarding the servers. I need your help for 1 sentence hints for each server.
Shall we start with OCRP hints?
I'll need around 20.

[Crap-Head]

Huh? Are you talking about those "Did you know that" blablabla things?

Because i think i have a lot of those that was used back at OCRP. Let me see if i can find them or else il just make some of them up agein + some new once.

These are supposing you use the same as the def SV_LoadingURL and the the did you know is automaticly inserted

Code: [Select]

"The ATM's are used to withdraw/deposit cash",
"This server is running OCRP on RP_EvoCity_v2d",
"The second floor of the Nexus are jail cells",
"There is NPC in the nexus garage who you can sell anything to!",
"This gamemode is driven by players. You don't have to be a cop, You can be anything!"
"Press F4 while looking at a item to sell it",
"You can press 'C' to unload the current ammunition in your weapon",
"That this gamemode has PassiveRP support",
"The Mayor can place ATM's and Vending machines",
"Vending machines can dispense drinks that help the economy and also restore your energy",
Thats all I can think of atm

Let's see if I can whip up a few.

Did you know?...

Code: [Select]

"That OCRP has a dynamic economy system that affects paychecks?"
"That the Yankee and Mule spawns outside of the garage?"
"That OCRP uses a custom Dodge Challenger Cop Car model?" --When it's fully made and implemented
"That everything you need to know is located in the 'Q' menu?"
"You can RP almost anything you can think of?"
"The Mayor promoted a cop to Police Chief?
"The Police Chief promotes a cop to SWAT Officer?"
"You can listen to the radio by pressing 'F1' in a car or looking at a radio?"
"OCRP was originally hosted by a community which consisted of over 18,000 members!?"
"The drug dealer does not always buy or sell drugs?"
"OCRP stands for 'Orange Cosmos Roleplay?'"
"To upgrade a skill, you have to buy the correct book from the Librarian?"

That's about all I can think of right now, I will try and come up with more later

Personal opinion of the best from the two who contributed. I also edited a few of them to sound a bit better.

I'm not good in html, but in other programming languages you would define each string, put them in a group, and have a random string from that group appear.

[vizioN]

We already have the script, Raneman. Just need some hints to be suggested.

[Somone77]

I've even gone a step further from complete randomization, I've created an algorithm to include weight (probability) to each string. Chances are, I'll make hints all equal, but it provides functionality for perhaps a contest? Have a 1% chance of getting a secret prize code or something.

Anyway, lets move on to HL2RP next.

Here are some less gameplay-ish facts, and more interesting and history ones.

Code: [Select]

Did you know...
That OCRP was launched on August 23, 2010, by the Orange Cosmos Clan?
That the Aston Martin Vanquish and the Caterham Roadster can use a nitro boost by pressing shift?
That the Stallion GTO has the best speed:gas mileage at 85 mph and 800 gas tank size?
That all cars can be equipped with hydraulics?
That using hydraulics to turn your 90mph sports car into a missile weapon is both hilarious and bannable?
That there is a handbrake (bound to space) which can be used to drift, turn corners quickly, and spin out of control into crowds of pedestrians on the sidewalk?
That you can find useful guides on our forums?
