Hello, Today we're bringing yet another QOL update to the SA-MP gamemode. Besides the changes below, we've also added several debug methods to help us narrow down some of the server crashes. We'll be releasing a QOL update for the RageMP server this week as well. For now, enjoy: [San Andreas Multiplayer Game Patch 13.3.5] - Players now have the option to spawn at last location - Armor saves after reconnecting until next server restart - Duty state saves after reconnecting (not only crash) for 10 minutes or until next server restart - Added /uniform off - All factions with access to /uniform can now do so near their faction car's trunks - Attempted a fix to the poker all in bug - Added additional debug traces to server crash caused by some dialogs - Replaced faceinvader billboards with myface ones - Martin

Usergroup members are expected to keep up to date with the topics found in our private forum section which is linked below: Private Forum - Los Santos Roleplay (ls-rp.com) Thank you to everyone for the support.

This isn't talked about nearly enough. It's high time to stop pretending that spouting such nonsense as "you're expected to realistically portray the LASD/LAPD" is conducive to good roleplay, or that simply integrating real-life codes and procedures is a gateway to unlocking the secrets of police portrayal, or that pasting actual slogans over in-game mappings is all you need to achieve your best performance as a pixel cop, because nothing could be further from the truth. If the only defining trait of your character is acing 100% of the LASD/LAPD lingo while jumping from shootout to pursuit to tactical deployment, then you're not much better than any other virtual gangbanger who uses gang roleplay and AAVE as a paper-thin disguise to engage in server-sanctioned DM without any consequence. Law enforcement roleplay somehow managed to pull a complete 360 and move from robocops whose only aim was to rack up as many arrests as possible while only engaging in action-packed scenarios, to a somewhat engaging and balanced level of police portrayal, right back to robocops whose only aim is to fill their sentences with as many LASD/LAPD terms as possible while only engaging in action-packed scenarios. It's just a long string of disjointed episodes without anything holding the whole thing together, and how could it be otherwise? Hardly anyone takes their time to do some station roleplay or get to know other characters beyond a cursory introduction, debriefs after situations are done just because it's "real life procedures" and not out of a genuine interest of interacting with fellow faction members, good luck finding anyone above a first-line supervisory rank to discuss important matters because it's not "realistic" for commanders to be in-game and expect to be called out over faction chat if you don't use the right code or just say it in plain English instead of getting your message across in numbers. While it's true that law enforcement factions receive a large amount of calls and can't possibly handle them all, it's also true that almost zero attention is given to anything else beyond the run and gun. Investigative roleplay is in shambles, held up by maybe five or six people in total. Patrol work is more shallow than it was in 2014 because even though the characters use more accurate terminology, they're nowhere near as interesting or have as much of a personality as they used to 10 years ago. Passive police roleplay is basically unheard of. And there's still people who somehow feel it's appropriate to use the "it's not about policing the server" motto. And it's absolutely not a problem limited to this server only, regardless of how popular others might be on other platforms. The law enforcement roleplay scene these days can be summed up as people playing LSPDFR in multiplayer.

I was in LEO RP from 2012 - 15, then 2016 again. Then I rejoined for COVID IN 2020, and rejoined lastly in 2024 as soon as the server started. I lasted a week before I resigned. LEO RP is not fun. Convoy simulator. Pyongyang Traffic Lady Simulator, but instead of directing traffic you're guarding a SWAT scene. You can't BOX IN VEHICLES ANYMORE!! So silly. Can't do **Desc Playername** because apparently it's metagame and people don't understand that LS-RP is not real life, no wonder why nobody bothers investigating crimes anymore more it's too much hassle. No one uses APB's anymore to look for suspects because if you can't **desc. whatts the point. As a beat cop, what's the point of taking 911's. Supervisory ranks all they can do is suspend now, can barely give out permission for exciting things. Can't equip MP5, M4 or shotgun without certification. Can't be given permission to use weapons like in the old days, can't take out tyres, taser limitation... bring back the stark industry tasers, /tackle is stupid.. bring back the Sultan for traffic units at least, try to have a bit of fun in a low number team speak situation and you'll get a shadow play video of yourself talking in your mailbox the next day no effort to even reach out to the person, oh yeah opportunity to do admin punishment lets go!! , bring back bait car situations. Please can we talk about the fucking PAPERWORK WORK! Dare you try to touch the rank of Sergeant, not only do you have to hit 1 ABS you have to do a bunch of paperwork that only increases over the ranks to prove your self. It's too much work, ever time a new head it's like fuck it, I'm Sheriff of Chief now let's just add a bunch of BS to prove how different i can make things. Oh because I do so much work, you all HAVE to to do as much as I do. No space for the casual but good RPer who wants to have fun. This leaves the people at the top making the decisions are the most dedicated, hardcore, committed, try hard players, but they forget that the majority of people do not have that mentality most people just want to have fun and escape from real life, honestly I blame the American Contingent of top LEO players .. anyways What's the point of coming home from school / work log on and you've logged onto another job. Yeah some shit were unreasltic, but it made people log in everyday and created loads of new RP Sitations. Many LEO Rpers would leave LEO RP, try out illegal side of things and love it or maybe they'd run a nightclub or other avenue of legal roleplay. Transfer to DoC or FD. I even made and alt and had a blast with illegal RP. At least if TRU/SEB - SWAT hoovering up all the action was tolerable because you had other outlet of fun for everyone, but now what's the point unless you want to play standing simulator for 1 and a half hours. ITS JUST NOT FUN. Dare I say that because LEO Rpers are mostly the type who will be able to do a lot of paperwork, meaning they're mostly the type to apply for tester and admin giving them more influence on the server as they rank up. IDK i'm just a humble player. Give people the chance to have fun and it will allow their creative side to come out. that my POV. However, LEO RP will not improve too much group think, too much old face. Maybe start doing a poll too see what the majority of people want? IDK

You post actually scares me. This issue is underlooked and is I think this is potentially a LSRP killer. If LSRP falls, this may not be the main reason but must be one of the main reasons. I am scared, concerned and worried. EDIT: What I will say does not represent any factions or anybody. But I am told that my friends in those factions share the same thoughts but are hesitating to say it publicly, but I will say it. I disagree with your reasoning of passive police roleplay. Passive police roleplay will only happen after police roleplayers had enough fun of the main stream RP, aka pursuits and shootouts. What is so fun about police? Shootout and pursuits. Now we axed pursuits. Many people will prove me wrong but, tell me why SEB / SWAT is always more than 50% of online LEO playerbase? Just check ts.ls-rp.com:9988 and you'll find the statistics. Somehow, LSRP thought having a pursuit line chasing a car with normal speed for hours is realistic so they axed most PITs, interceptions and boxing. Then they thought well, chasing for long is bad so supervisors will not terminate pursuits if it goes for too long for too tiny reasons. Is it fun? I do not find it fun. I avoid most of the pursuits, really. A shootout is basically a torture for anyone that's not directly firing or SWAT/SEB. A barricaded suspect requires police officers and deputy sheriffs to stand outside guarding and watching the screen and basically staring while SWAT/SEB go inside and roleplay. In worse scenarios, random player will come to you and ask you very repetitive questions or just drive pass it, ruining the immersion and giving you burdens. In terms of the reasoning of Investigative roleplay in shambles, I have a lot to say about it. Let's first talk about how does a Detective win. Based on my experience, I can conclude two ways of detective roleplays. One is script-win and another is collective-win. Script-win is you use the scripts to locate the suspect and apprehend the suspect, without needing the suspects' OOC cooperation. Collective-win is when the suspect roleplays with you, PMs you non-script evidence and leads to their own conviction. What is more demotivating when you write 2,000 words in your investigative report, you do everything perfectly but the suspect CKs, doesn't respond to you, voids the situation and whatsoever? Another topic I want to say is Play-to-Win mentality. If Anti Play-to-Win works, why our PD/SD plays Robber/Cop servers when free? Play-to-win is a good concept but we took it wrong. We are taking Play-to-Win to an extreme where we are basically "Playing to lose". From a PLAYERS' perspective, if the suspect breaks the rule, we /ff. If the suspect non-rp drives, we /ff. If the suspect fails to RP and whatsoever, we /ff. We have unlimited free guns and cars doesn't entitle us to /ff everytime. How are we expecting our people to do passive roleplays and be passionate about passive roleplays when the needs for aggressive and active are not fulfilled?

We won't allow a 63 years old police character nowadays. I think we have too many limitations and restrictions on what we cannot roleplay or, what is realistic and what is not. I think allowing certain dramatic or non-realistic things to the game should be allowed as long as it is fun. We should not really be chasing after realism at the cost of making the game no longer fun. Lenny Train is a great meme and great example.

Oh baby it's like it's 2016 again.

fax 2012-14 was peak leo rp. when cops used to bang it out with criminals in alleyways and would roleplay complete assholes that turned hoods inside out just to rile bangers up. michael westbrook doing on the street detective work interfacing with people on a daily basis lol they scrapped everything fun hyper focusing on emulation too much detective rp in 2024 is riding around in an unmarked premier all day doing everything a regular patrol unit would do lol its so uninspired do some bicycle patrols have a department do some outreach work in neighborhoods and survey people do some foot patrols go to a business on break and just chill there for an hour or something idk man it really isnt that hard to mix things up but the restrictions scare anyone who want to break out of the mold

This is the way. Embracing the fact that this is a GTA game will make it go far. Lax administration, eccentric characters, good script features. We had people roleplaying realistically in 2010 even with the horrendous standards at that time, everyone can find their niche.

Great guide for new players
