Here is a police car Addon with working lights and siren.

Would something like this, or something equivalent, be good for the map?

I would like to say that I just learned about this mission today, and I cant believe more people haven't caught on to this great rp map.

I read some of the posts about the Admin issues and that the police choose what your fines will be.

I wanted to throw out the idea, for RP and gameplay, if the Admin was actually titled "Judge" and would be the one who actually determines what amount the citizen should pay for his fine, if any fine at all (not guilty verdict).

The "Judge" would be voted into office and would make all rulings as Admin and amount of fines. The Judge's term only last so long, and you could have an auto-revote say every 15 minutes (or whatever is reasonable) to RP when a Judge's term is over. The presiding Judge can run for second term, but if he was an a$$ to the community, he probably won't get re-elected by player votes. This would encourage the player who is "Judge" to be fair, so that he will get re-elected when the auto-vote comes at the end of his term.

On the side, players could try to "bribe" the judge to get favorable rulings, or players could donate to the judge's campaign fund to help him get re-elected. Well, I think you see where I am going with this. A Judge could not be a police officer at the same time. So for RP purposes alteast, maybe it would be better to call the Admin-by-vote the "Judge" instead. When a Judge kicks you from the server, he is exiling you from the island for a crime you commited.

When an officer charges someone, a display screen would appear on the Judge's screen with options of what penalty range he can give for the violation that occurred, or the Judge can rule "not guilty" for no fine or jail time at all. He can listen to both players sides and make a ruling.

If you want to make the role playing even a step further, designate the Server Admin as a Federal Court Judge who is appointed for life and whoo's district covers the island. Anything the Local Judge rules on can be overturned by the "Federal Judge". When the Judge chooses the penalty for the citizen, he can hit the "appeal" button, which creates a pop-up screen for the Server Admin/Federal Judge to either "affirm" the ruling or "overrule" it.

Anyways, again, I think you see where I am going with this. Just throwing my 2 cents in to help with the roleplaying aspect of the game.

Its late at night and I'm tired, so I hope this post makes sense to more people than just me.

PS: Look at my above post about the police car addon. It has a working red/blue lightbar and siren, that supposedly works in MP. There is a demo video of the car in game on the link, which looks really good IMO (especially at night). Could definately be a good addon for this map.

i think we consdiered this addon in the past while making shraniville but however the speed and armor of the vehicles were too low for it to be an effective car for the poilice

ill ask somerville regarding this weither this was the case

thx for information

this is an awesome game mode, but, in the end it just ends up being a civi vs police tdm

mebbe there could be some interesting non agressive options to pursue,like a race course? Cos it seems that the only thing people work towards is money, to buy guns to kill police.

I think that sahranville needs women - a reason not to fight but to settle down and have a family etc.

we did actally think of using men insted but we decided to not do so as it properly would be pretty wrong to do so

if u understand what i mean

[Kirby 2]

Ill mention it again cause its so awesome. That and I was ignored... But yeah... You could give the cops flashlights using that flashlight scripts and maybe make it possible for civs to buy flashlights. You could also probably add blue/blue+red flashing lights to the cop cars using a simler, but for vehicals, script too.

Man.. i love this game mode but i have issues on ther =SF= server in trying to get in... my issue is being stuck at the wait for host screen with the MH-6 carrying those people is. it wont go any farther either no matter how long i wait... any ideas or sahoudl i just wait for an updated version?

[lt.chris 0]

just remeber there is -{GOL}- shraniville server (the main home of sahranivlle of the creators)

and 101st server which also hosts it so if u have problems getting in theres these 2 other options

Quote[/b] ]Just do something where this isn't civilians kill cops 24/7 and ill be happy

unforchtly theres pretty much nothing which can be done about that than just having a decent admin on the server with decent players then it doesnt turn into a TDM

i have recently been having problem recieving miossion data for this mod because i decided to reinstall my game again top see if once and for all that would take care of the connection problems i was having to these servers. reinstall went well and the game is working but now when i try and get int othe game if i can even get past the wait for host screen it still tells me that i need to recieve mission file and then goes to about 100kb and then stops... i have left it foe over eight hours and the message i got was script startmoney.sqs was not found. What is this and is there a way to fix it?. im am running short of ideas as to what the probelm is and before i go and get a new computer just to play this game i need to test it out on another computer entirely as well as a different tnetwork. so as one last atempt to keep my sanity im makeing one last apeal to you guys to see if im theo nly one with this problem or if this is a know issue with your mod. thank you for listening and your help is much appreciated.

ah the popularity of this map has exploded =D

I hope the Scalar bug gets fixed :O its by far the most annoying one lol.

[AWanderingMage 0]

any idea when the next one is coming out... i heard that it was soon and cant wait for it.

[mant3z 1]

Great job, yesterday was amaizing fight when civilians defend supply truck at Passport area

We need more options and more RPG threads in this mission.

Also border (south|north) should have better road signs or road blocks, more weapons to buy.

I think there are some bugs in earning money, income is very huge when you build HideOut.

[Winters1807 0]

Hostage taking, more people need to do it and play along for it to be fun

[mant3z 1]

I think somebody should help them with scripting... this mission is awesome... civilian revolution rox

Edit: 10/26/2007

Yesterday I was playing in new ver of this mission, I've noticed that a lot of people who was trying to get on the server was missing EditorUpdatev102.

I know that it's not that simple to find this addon... so I've made it for all of you.

And here it is:

<span style='font-size:12pt;line-height:100%'>Editor Update v.102</span>

In new ver are salesmen and also sound when you rob the bank :P

hey can i make few requests...

1) Well on sahrani ville there are a few people who have made a tevlivision network called SNN ,Sahrani News Network, and there is a major problem of the police shooting us so would there be a chance you could put in to of the newly release 'Field Reporters'

2) Also could you please state some basic laws so cops dont go around pulling people over for pointless things or shooting people for speeding. Could yoyu please state what side of the road your supposed to drive on because there seem to be many diffent opinions: left, Right, Middle of the road, OFF road..... also coulfd you please state a speeed limit and maybe make a garage where people can have the vehicles fixed.

I really enjoy playing sahraniville and i thinks its some damm fine work youve done but i think it just needs a tiny bit of tuneing..

Thanks!

[the unknown 0]

There are laws set up already, we tryed to put them into the mission as a dialog that could be read but it didnt work.

I aint sure if its in the briefing already otherwise we could put it in there.
