Can we bring back the old playerbase count?

Cool that's just how I feel about it, it looks dogshit, but what about the other two people who were criticizing your work in a nice way? Are they also a dick? 
You had Bandemic and another person whose messages have been deleted who gave you an entire paragraph on why the mapping looks dogshit:


You sat there and proceeded to try and argue with a person from LA, born and raised in LA, hell his whole life he's been in LA about how the mapping actually looks like something from LA IRL.
You sat there and called him emotional, that he's raging.
I said it looks dogshit cause that's how I felt it looked like, I'm not sugarcoating anything and never will, too bad if you think my opinion is harsh.
I could not care about 14.0 and what it brings, good for Cake and the illegal roleplay community, I'm over here bringing up the fact that some staff members do not take kindly to criticism and would rather respond in a hostile matter instead of actually tackling the issue of why certain people do not like it.
Just cause I make a few good mods does that give me the authorization to argue with people about how my mapping looks perfect 24/7? No.
I'm done posting on this thread as it seems like I hit the wrong spot for certain people here.
 

I've been trying to get some mapping added around Jefferson since (checks logs) 2019. Since the re-opening I've been PMing back and forth with Caledonite and all I got was fuck all. Even got somebody to help us out, did parts of the mapping and when we needed help with a few things, nobody could be assed to give us a hand. And then, my ideas got shut down because they don't fit with the LS theme. Thank fuck the DayZ mapping fits. And its conveniently outside of our turf, great.

 

After seeing the 656th precinct added and mapping done in bum fuck no where near the prison, I gave up hope. God forbid one of the largest faction on the server (that struggles with retaining players btw) and is still active gets some features added in to motivate people to play even more and just add something new to the scene. Or at least checking in with us "hey guys, check out his DayZ corner yall can do shoot outs in, ya like?". Had to see the abomination through leaked staff chats. Smh.

 

Anyway I lost all hope atp. 

 

Edit: 38St has the same issues as well. And from what I can see, the mapping that 38St did themselves and asked to get added to the server, and the shit I just seen above, doesn't fucking match at all. But I guess communication is hard in 2024. 

 

Edit 2: On second glance, thank fuck for the hobo-land corner on east LS. I bet it will get the spot jumping. 

Why is the mapping team hell bent on creating mapping that benefits nobody and doesn't bother checking in with ACTIVE FACTIONS ON THE SERVER? Where RP is actually being done? Where the mapping can be used most? Fking hell.

Hey. Please shoot me a PM and we'll get the mapping you had looked into and added.

 

I know there was a previous request but I want to make sure it is actioned properly this time. Apologies on the previous attempt, we've now setup communications like I said. I'll work on a way for active factions to make direct requests.

Regardless of what the mapping looks like, saying "yo that mapping looks shit bro XDDDD" isn't constructive at all, nor does it help anyone. These people are trying to help the server by making new areas to roleplay in for factions and you shit on their hard work? I'm all for constructive criticism, but one-liner insults is not constructive criticism. You have to understand that these people are not being paid, they're doing it out of love for the community, as is the same with the modding team. If you think that you can do better, and want to contribute, please by all means apply to the mapping team.

Of course when a certain team tries to implement some kind of change and do something for the server, there's that one person who just has negative things to say and isn't being helpful at all. Instead of giving a proper suggestion as to what can be done, you lot decide to shit talk when there's some kind of progress, which then further demotivates a team who's dedicated and eager to bring something new to the table.

Greetings LS-RP!

 

Over the past few days, I have been working to make LS-RP a better place for both staff and players.

 

Firstly, I want to address some issues within the staff team, as they have been mentioned multiple times by both community members and staff. We have started to remove inactive members from the team. By the end of the month, all of our current "dead weight" will be removed.

 

After receiving suggestions here and internally within the staff team, I’ve revised some of our policies. One of the revisions concerns the rule that admins can’t handle their own situations. While the policy wasn’t explicitly worded this way, it was intended to prevent conflicts of interest or bias when admins were involved in situations. Admins could handle these situations if no other admin was available, but this was often misunderstood and didn’t happen in practice. For the sake of both players and the admin team, this rule has been removed. The admin team is now expected to use common sense, along with the training they received during their Trainee Admin phase.

 

Regarding policies, we’ve clarified our stance on "education over punishment." I believe this stance was misunderstood and taken too literally. Since the rule was introduced, there has been excessive leniency within the staff team when it comes to punishments. For example, you might have seen a level 30 player breaking basic rules and receiving multiple warnings instead of being properly punished. Our Admin Team has now been instructed on how to handle these situations, and you will see us becoming stricter with those who have previously abused this leniency.

 

In the past week or so, we’ve also increased the number of active mappers and modders on the team. You may have seen some of their work on our Discord. For those who haven’t, I’ll display some examples below that will be included in our next update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following is a WIP / Example of what the mapping team is up to, this is to do some long awaited map updates (THIS IS NOT FINAL AND CAN CHANGE) :

 

 

Along with this, I’ve worked with IFT/IFTC to establish a direct line of communication between our teams. This is aimed at improving wait times, communication, and addressing the various concerns that have been brought up in this thread. A special shout-out to anyone who has previously had issues with requesting maps or receiving responses from the modding or mapping teams. If you have maps ready and just need them added, feel free to send them over to me, and we’ll verify and add them.

 

One key point that has been raised is the new player experience. As @ROZE is our Head of Player Experience for SA-MP, I’ve asked him to investigate how leadership and development can improve this experience from the very beginning. We’ll have more insight and information on this soon. If you have any clear examples, please direct them to @ROZE.

 

I know there are many more points in this thread, but I hope this provides the transparency the community has been seeking. I will be working through the thread and taking everything into consideration, addressing quick wins where possible. Larger and more complex issues may take time to resolve, but I appreciate that the time to act is now, and we are doing just that.

 

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas festivities and spending time with loved ones. That’s all from me for now.

 

Peace & Love,

Jack

 

For the love of God please contact Lisiu for mapping. Take notes or something from his work. https://youtube.com/@lisiu?si=muBtP7A9WKfmarGi

 

All this half assed mapping but PD stations have a ton of custom buildings, mapping & models is ridiculous. I hate we are seeing these types of changes/additions as the server withers away because staff didn’t like how we addressed things.

 

Its been nothing but low effort from the modding team, just look at the skins. ANYONE couldve made these.

What do you think this is g, some public scandal? LMFAO 

 

Im not resigning, nor is any of my staff, like I said, if you think you can do it better, feel free to apply, I’ll accept your app right now, but as far as I can see, your just yapping and you probably don’t even know how to mod.

This guy got some crazy mapping skills checked through his channel and he got some nice projects. 

Idlewood would look way better with maps like this:

This honestly looks terrible. It falls far below the standards expected. Whoever thought this was a good concept needs to seriously raise their game.

This is the most dumb as rocks response I’ve ever read. If you’ve got nothing nice to say or Atleast nothing constructive then don’t say it at all. What help are you submitting this message to rub your little ethug persona a bit of pride. The modding team are working hard and making some cool shit. It’s a step in the right direction; if you give them praise and constructive feedback they can learn and improve. Lead don’t command it’s not rocket science. Show people a better way forward instead of barking stupidity like “you gotta resign”. 
 

have a sense of community about you.
