Misanthrope

From what I understand, the HeliCam mod has always been an exception to that rule in all RP servers I came across. I wouldn't really call it an unfair advantage, also, no pilot really uses the the thermal/night vision mode except for screens/videos. There are versions of the Helicam mod that have a LOCK-ON TARGET feature, many RP servers banned that and it's mostly the version without lock-on that's shared. I'm certain admins discussed this ages ago when the mod first popped up. In response to @jack, I disagree with your point on censorship. "Welcome feedback and criticism and for it to be shared", unless it's about the staff. It's not like people are writing 5 words here saying "Admin X is fat", they're giving you comprehensive paragraphs, which then get deleted. That's LITERALLY constructive criticism. Yes, some of them have a harsher tone, it's because it's a criticism thread, we're not members of some parliament. Some players really love this server and are pissed, and being nice doesn't get you places. The server is dying and admins were busy deleting posts/banning people. When you constantly shut people criticizing one specific issue that can become personal/biased to you (as their peer), but rest the others; that's not extinguishing flamers, that's censorship. EDIT: Mapping team needs another look. Last time EHC and I forgot who from Idlewood were begging months to get a simple ALREADY COMPLETED map onto the server, it was delayed so freakin much like an IRL construction project. All in the meanwhile, LSPD got a new whole building office by the Skatepark lol. I can't describe how much that pissed us off. I think it took us another 1-2 months before our map got implemented alongside the others (some waited even longer). This is with constant communication with the mapping team at the time btw.

Plenty of English servers (albeit not at LSRP standards) are easily hitting the 100-200 player range. We're not asking for 2013 peak PB. We're asking for the bare minimum, 100-150 players made more than enough people comfortable to get on at all hours of the day/night. Old SAMP Every RP servers (and other gamemodes) would average around +130 players, with LSRP +300-1000(?) players. Modern SAMP If you do the bare minimum and tend to community needs, you'll easily slam 100-150 players. While GTA 5 is modern, the only reason SAMP is still thriving is because the newer games lack the charm and mixed simplicity-complexity of GTA SA. It's not about low-end PCs or nostalgia, there's more than enough evidence that there are willing committed players. I like many can't be fucked for V, it's just not the same. If you want to work on LSRP:V, establish a whole separate team and leave this community, establish two teams (V and SAMP), no mixers. Hand off SA's development to whoever is in charge of the new team. The only place you two merge is Staff Management and PR/Marketing. There are a whole bundle of very capable developers out there, even more so in V because of the language support is more openly there. SA-MP developers have came a very long way, an amateur creates amazing things and shares them on Open MP forums or on their silly little YouTube channel. There are ways to deploy servers and integrate test scripts without leaking/wrecking the server itself. Work with all these sparky eyed lil programmers and get something to work out. Stop aiming for monthly outputs and aim for weekly ones. Split the dev team: Master (networking, major server features), Hotfixes/QA, Mapping and a smaller team contributing QOL stuff. Give them different levels of access.

Was an absolute blast seeing yall start up and become official. It was fun being both your allies and enemies as EHC. ❤️
