So the Character Creator, the base system is for skin color, face shape, eye color and so on. - We should have more then one chance to edit this due to poor lighting within the creator and horrible camera angles, there's going to be flaws that we can't see until we can walk around ourselves without being locked in place. Also, allowing to put make-up on and change hair-dyes during the creator gives more of a sense of your character portrayal and what you'd be aiming for. The face shape/parent that you use is very important for your beginning structure of designing a nice character's face. The main point of this thread is to give players more of an opportunity to fix flaws that they accidently made in the restrictive character creator. Hence a level system or a set amount of time to give the proper amount of players the time to adjust their characters I think would be a great thing in my opinion.

It's been awhile since we've been given updates and I'm not sure if anything has changed since then with the character creation system. To my knowledge everyone has one chance to really customize their character in terms of parents/skin color maybe even eye color which I don't really like personally due to the poor lighting within the character creation, no makeup and no hair dyes along with decent clothing that your character might actually wear. I'm sure players are looking for a certain look for the story they want to tell. I'm aware that characters will still be able to edit their nose and other small features though which is good. If this system is still in place, I think it'd be a nice addition to extend the character creation and allow players to edit their character freely as long as they like until they reach level 5 ( If levels are a thing. ) That way it gives enough time for people to learn about the server, the direction of their character and to edit them in a timely manner rather then being rushed for a one time character creation which may lead to a lot of mistakes that they couldn't see in the character creator to begin with. I think this would be a nice edition for all players and that way you still achieve what you want by players not being able to drastically change their characters over a period of time adding more realism but giving new players (Level 5 Max) the benefit of the doubt for their mistakes that they might create during that time. I've made a poll so everyone can vote for what they would prefer (Multiple Choice), if this system has already been changed then so be it! But I'd definitely want more then one chance at editing my character so I can put on the proper makeup, play with the hair styles etc. If none of this becomes a thing and we stick to a one time character creation then I'd like for makeup, hair dyes to be put into it so I can make sure I like what I've made. Keep in mind, this is just a suggestion and the pole is to help show what players would prefer.

I wouldn't mind players using ped skins, mind you.. I believe it was stated early in the year that you'll only have one chance to really customize your character in terms of parents/skin color maybe even eye color which I don't directly agree with especially due to the horrible lighting given during character customization and with the lack of makeup and hair dyes which doesn't give a full picture of my character, which can really ruin a player character if you only have that one chance to edit them correctly for main face features. So, if this system is still in place it might be hard to also include ped skins if the main character creation is a one time creation. I'm not sure if this system is still in place as that info I believe was given last year, I may be mistaken though and I'd prefer to be able to edit my character as many times as needed to make my character perfect or perhaps disable access to character creation after level 5 through auto level up which I might actually make a separate suggestion for.

Mmartin is back, confirmed by yours truly! - Proof taken today ( January 13th 2023 ) The hype train is re-enabled, you're welcome. #LSRP

Hello all you beautiful readers! I've been reading comments within this section of the last year approximately, some rather rude but I do understand your frustrations of course. I've been rather lenient the past year and 2 months from the first announcement of a possible release date and I've been supportive during that time and I still am of course. I'm not fond of the silence for 2 months straight, even simple information would still satisfy me in some regards. I like some information while waiting for the server to release. I understand that life can surely get in the way of you finishing the server sooner, or the lack of motivation, I'm not sure which one it'd be but perhaps both or neither who knows! I only wish for you to keep pushing forward as I know it can be hard to do sometimes, I'm not saying to release it tomorrow. I'm saying to keep us informed or to get other staff to inform us of general progress as I love hearing of all of your teams hard work and collaboration, I'm still proud of each and every administrator with the hard work put in, even if small but please understand that a test-feed isn't really good enough to keep people excited. I like to read what's going on a little and I'm sure everyone else likes to read about the updates as well, even if it's a little sentence in announcements, detailing the next minor step. Give us something to read and hopefully you and your team will push forward even if a little at a time to accomplish LSRP V as we all are waiting for it. I wish the best for LSRP and I hope to see everyone soon, please keep us informed! - It's time. Regards, Natasha Valentine.

Furniture Script for permanent inmates, I'm truly excited for it's release! I can feel that it's super close! #staypositive!

LSRP means a lot to me and I'm sure it does for many others as well, I've experienced many servers in the past but LSRP was the best and I stuck with it since the first day I joined, blown away with the furniture script and what it had to offer at the time. I personally experienced a lot of great roleplay with a lot of great people over the years that really made the LSRP community, every single moment was worth it to me. I want LSRP V to do really well, I want to play it every moment I get and build up again. I personally see LSRP thriving once it releases. I really do hope the server launches at the end of September for all of us to start rping again, would be really fun! I'll always love LSRP.

I understand that's how robbing works irl but you have to understand that there's a lot of abuse and the robber has to cooperate with the victim as well rather then just abruptly taking the items with minimal rp. Some items are hidden on a player like drugs etc, you'd have to fully RP it and search for it on a victim. You can't just run up and have access to random player inventories, "stalling" is bound to happen either way to give both parties a chance to rp properly and the best place to do it is away from main streets or around public areas as it may be expected for the rp to take longer then anticipated.

I find that a lot of robberies are sub-par which I've experienced occasionally during rp, giving no regards to using masks or being afraid of getting caught on camera etc. I typically liked the original way of how robberies were handled through rp between both parties involved, I personally don't think I'd like for anyone to just have access to my inventory and to take things without my permission as that could lead to a bunch of abuse amongst players. There'd have to be some sort of /acceptance command between both parties and even so that /acceptance could still be stalled either way until players agree with what's being taken within the scenario. I prefer the regular method of how robberies are handled within the server and for any abuse to be reported on the forums.

Obviously I know this is a joke since you created your account yesterday and only have one post, which is this(No-ERP-Rule) and that's the purpose you made this profile(vla3). I will say this to you or to anyone who actually thinks this topic is serious, if what players like to RP in private bothers you even if you never participate in that kind of role-play then you shouldn't play with others since it has nothing to do with you anyway. You might as well go play singleplayer, you can rp and talk to yourself and only do things of your own interests that way you never get upset with anyone else or their opinions/interests of what they like to rp. Kind of sounds like a loner but fyi, that's not how irl works. You can't like everything and the things others do around you where you might find things that are cringe or horrible, it's apart of life and should be taken in-character as well for realism. - If this type of rp bothers you, then you can't really consider yourself a good rper, I believe LS-RP has understood that point for over a decade. And there's plenty of role-play and development that comes from erotic role-play such as actual filming companies, abuse, drugs, gang-involvement, relationship creating and marriages, strip-clubs and partying just like in real life. We might as well fade-to-black all club openings and just make all players pay entry fee's, then tell them to leave immediately, would save time. - Think about the quality of role-play. The Rules relating to LS-RP Samp for the last 12 years was fine regarding e-rp which everyone followed, minors typically shouldn't be participating in such rp and they shouldn't be playing gta either. But as mentioned, I haven't seen any real issues regarding it over my long-term of Roleplaying in LS-RP so I think our general rules are good that we have in place. - Also if you're only typing with your left hand, you must be a slow roleplayer. #quality.

Keep up the great work, I love seeing the snippets!

Much support from me, I will be doing a legal company as well most likely once it's ready to go!

It's not so much as a (NPC) but more so players playing on Alts with lack of depth and that only appear once or very rarely. I experienced this a lot while running a company on LSRP SAMP. You'd show your whole business location, do an interview with them, get them all setup etc and give them a task while spending all day with them/teaching the ropes of how the business operates or what to do and then they never come back again since it was an alt to begin with. I typically don't like just /inviting players with no context. This happened to a lot of companies, that's why I'm personally against Alts in general, not that everyone has bad alts though, I've had a quite of few players that did well using alts and had the time to maintain both.

I've never personally taken part in the Roleplay surrounding the University on LSRP SAMP but I liked the idea and with everything that is available on GTA V would make it that much better, such as clothes and being preppy with Gucci, inventory paper notes to do class work etc. It'd be neat if you could even get a little certificate of your graduation/degree. I'd totally like to see something like this exist on the server, it's different role-play and I like others role-playing a bunch of different things and that's what makes the server more lively. I vote yes!

I strongly agree, this should be available on launch for concept arts, posters, in-game films etc especially with the use of Menyoo. Having it in advance as well would be really nice, but I'd also like for makeup to be available in the character creation as it's hard to tell if your character looks it's best before finalizing your character as it's tied to a one time usage for parent selections.

I already commented on Socrates comment earlier: " Dj's don't just look for tracks on youtube but it's the most simple thing to do in real life, which is play your own music at your convenience. " That's when I mentioned Update: Option 2 and put it at the top of this topic section for others to read as I thought it was the easiest solution to overcome any potential problems. I also understand that you were a DJ on LSRP Samp as well and by denying this for other players to play url music through Option 2, you'd be benefiting from it since the only way for players to listen to their music with friends in-game would be through you or other DJ's only. It should be easier for other players to listen to their own music when they want, in my opinion. Player/Company examples: I shouldn't have to pay a DJ or make a request for your XMR channel to play Beethoven for 3 hours straight just because my library is opening for customers to come in or my 5 star restaurant and I want 5 hours of /certain/ piano music to play for customers to give off a high-rating restaurant experience. Regarding music being able to be heard outside of vehicles during the test build, it'd have to be tested with Update Option 2/urls and I'm sure it could be changed if necessary. I also still want XMR stations by the way but I also want to have easy access to play my own, I feel like every player should be able to and would prefer that along with a rule section regarding setstation rules/explicit noises to inform players of possible punishments. I agree with this, a simple /togstation command should exist so players can block certain types of music they don't want to hear at their own convenience as we had on samp. I'm also sure that if any issues did arise regarding explicit music playing that admins could handle it and take the appropriate time to do so, though these issues would be quite rare and limited if we went with the Option 2 I mentioned in the first post.

Ya, exactly! So you'd go with option 2, unfortunately I didn't put that option in the polls but saying yes basically means you'd be okay with supporting option 1 or 2. Great to get your opinion regarding music! - edit: I made Option 1 & Option 2 more clear and edited the poles, wasn't aware I could do that!

That's why I mentioned the *Update* portion in the first post and obviously Dj's don't just look for tracks on youtube but it's the most simple thing to do in real life, which is play your own music at your convenience. It shouldn't be held back just for players to benefit from their DJ roleplay in general. Restaurant, different types of businesses should be able to play the type of music they want within their store through url like for example: certain piano music to certain club beats or art gallery music etc that they prefer. It should not be withheld just because DJ's want to press the play button and hog it for themselves, It doesn't make any sense. I shouldn't have to hire a DJ just to listen to my personal taste of music within my vehicle either. I do understand that there are rule breakers though so I am referring to the *Update*(2nd choice) that I posted at the start of this post as an option. I also understand that it would personally benefit you in-game if you halted the freedom of music so no one else can listen to their own music except DJ's within clubs which is pretty non-rp and I feel like we should be a little bit more open regarding music.

I mean, anyone can literally turn into a "DJ" irl, you go to youtube and play it for several people or yourself. Also regarding administrators that can't police 24/7, that's why there's the forums if necessary and I doubt it'd happen 24/7 to begin with, but you might get the odd one that does it unfortunately same with mass dming, pking and any other server rule in existence. An idea: - You could let any player use url's but through /setstation on vehicles only that way friends can enjoy music together that they'd like to listen to while cruising around, that way it's limited to the usage for casual players and can't disrupt on a large scale with any sort of malicious content. - Players could put in applications and or be apart of a company/business to be given permissions to use url links on boombox's that way it's more so heavily controlled then just giving it to everyone and the permission can be easily taken away. ^ This sounds completely reasonable and doable. - I will paste this to the top of this conversation for new readers.

I disagree. I think Ban Appeals should be visible to other players, That's how it's been typically on LSRP for a long time. There should be no shame in punishments and the conversations relating to them along with final verdicts. I as the player would like to know what's going on within the LSRP Community among members etc.

I have to agree with Flemwad here. Making duplicate keys temporarily like on LSRP samp would be good, you could also make another system for permanent keys to share with close friends but you could pull the keys at anytime or when you are near that close friend of yours.

Interesting, what kind of malicious risks would we be talking about? Like inappropriate material being played or more in-depth security concern? Because if it's just regarding material that's being played then I assume that could easily be handled by administrators per situation if needed. Let me know!

Option 1: Pretty simple, let people play their own music with urls from YouTube or other external sites on boombox's etc. NGRP from 2011 had that system in place which was like 11 Years Ago on samp. Players shouldn't feel tied to use DJ's just to play their own music that they want to hear, they should have a choice between personal choice and the radio. Obviously DJ's would still exist to easily mix and play music lists for parties. But in general players should be able to choose their own music and play it on their own for their little backyard events or large-scale events. You shouldn't have to hire a DJ to play a simple little tune for your 5 star restaurant. I think it's a pretty simple system and it makes sense, very easy for users to use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option 2: *UPDATE - Rule restrictions for rule-breakers, using urls maliciously.* Just a general idea, more of a 2nd choice to limit the potential abuse of url usage: - You could let any player use url's but through /setstation on vehicles only that way friends can enjoy music together that they'd like to listen to while cruising around, that way it's limited to the usage for casual players and can't disrupt on a large scale with any sort of malicious content. - Players could put in applications and or be apart of a company/business to be given permissions to use url links on boombox's that way it's more so heavily controlled then just giving it to everyone and the permission can be easily taken away. ^ This sounds completely reasonable and doable if the first choice isn't what you want, one or the other would be better then nothing. I think we should be able to play our own music with friends when we want but if limitations like this must exist for us to get it then so be it.

It isn't the code itself that's going to reduce a majority of lag from a bunch of cars parked in a location, also I don't think the admins would like it if we /reported every time some guy smashed a car with his bat to continuously set off the alarm to annoy people, plus it's hard to catch players ID's from a simple car alarm going off for a forum report. Admins probably wouldn't want to stalk your car to begin with either, /vpark is the easiest solution for lag and everything else. + Not everyone has a top of the line computer either, imagine grove-street being stacked with cars. a house party on the street with a bunch of visitors would probably have enough cars in one location already to begin with.
