    Understandable, let it be known it had to be pushed back because of the other systems that will be designed around it in the near future. Such as used-vehicle dealerships and etc. But it is coming.

    What about the other ones slated for week 2?
    - Graffiti
    - Gambling
    - Trucking routes

    Refinement of it was done during our last meeting, should be in progress soon.

    It was listed on week 1 of the 2 week plan, posted a month and a half ago. That's why I asked. Thank you for the update.

    Understandably, a lot of upset is promises are made, then no feature and no update as to why no feature.

    Time to make Ko-Fi.com for LS-RP developers 😁

    Other than that, I love this update! Bright times ahead.

    Was about to suggest this haha

     

    Glad to see the casino, there was one open before that'd open down by the beach a few times.

    We need to talk ...

    I got 135 minutes of prison time for an expired registration and expired license (this being before the update where the time to renew was made longer) you’re gonna sit here and tell me that law enforcement isn’t an issue? 
     

    Not all LE role players are bad but to try and act like the police aren’t part of the problem is exactly that… the problem. 
     

    I can literally pull up my discord since this server started where active players complained about the police, some incidents so ridiculous they left for other servers or quit in general. No one is targeting our LE but changes need to be made and if you’re gonna sit here and defend that without an open mind then I can see why this server has gone downhill in just 3 months. 

    135 minutes doesn't add up to that. What's your IG name? I'm betting there's more to that story.

    Ok, so the last recruitment date was 09/08/2023, new recruitment date is 01/09/2023. So the facts you provide are not right either. The simple fact is, too many cops. Not enough civ jobs for people to earn a living in the game resulting in the server being filled with cops. I don't wish to argue with you, but trying to destroy a point I was making is a bit pathetic. Okay, it isn't once a week but it does feel like it when LSPD is not recruiting like LSSD, Maybe what they should do is what LSSD did back in 2008, LSSD patrol the county only, this would reduce the intake of LSSD members.

    Players aren't allowed houses or businesses outside of LS. Why should we go patrol where there is rarely anyone at all except the occasional trucker?

    I sent this to Dos Santos as per his request for company feedback, but I'll also leave it here.

     

    As someone who just started a company, the biggest problem that I, and many of the other who've recently had their companies accepted, have been facing is mapping.

    Mapping is incredibly time consuming and the current system is very abysmal and barebones. On top of that, finding a mapper is increasingly difficult. The only active, reliable mapper is Natasha Valentine who is backlogged for weeks with requests.

    My suggestion is a two-parter.

    The first part is to upgrade the furniture UI. A few examples of this would be:

    • Allowing for duplication of an object in any direction to avoid having to manually spawn, place and align each floor/wall piece.
    • Allowing flight/noclipping during furnishing.
    • Continuous furnishing. For example, not removing you from the furniture menu every time you save an object.
    • Provide picture previews for objects and furniture in the menu.
    • Allow stacking, which would work the same as duplication except it would connect two different objects.
    • The ability to freeze moving objects. i.e moving lights, rustling leaves and vines.

    I am by no means a developer so the technical limitations to these are lost on me but having even some of them would GREATLY improve the furnishing experience.

     

    The second part would be to create a dedicated staff team for mapping. Since the money used to pay mappers is already reimbursed by staff, I think it would be beneficial to have a team that can be applied for that would basically put you on call for mapping purposes. Instead of staff reimbursing the company owner, staff could just flat out pay members of said mapping team a set amount for the interior they're mapping. Differing amounts based on size, number of floors, number of rooms, etc. This would:

    • Eliminate the drought of active mappers.
    • Eliminate the need to apply and wait for reimbursement
    • Eliminate unrealistic interiors, since the team would be held to a certain standard
    • It would pump money into the economy which people seem to find difficult to come across.

     

    As I stated before, I'm still quite new to owning a company on this server but in the relatively short time that I've had one, this has been the biggest obstacle by a significant margin.

    Mapping in general is irritating, tiresome, time-consuming and inefficient. The need to map a business if you're no good at it can stall RP for weeks at a time while you try to get your business up and running. After having to apply for the business, apply for all the licenses, have a lead admin set up your company and business, you STILL need to pray to god that either you or someone you know personally is capable of mapping because if not, you're simply SOL until Natasha Valentine magically becomes available.

    Absolutely 100%. I don't understand how I can place a roadblock and then hit u and duplicate it, but in furniture I have to manually go find the object name in furniture, and then hit duplicate.
