[OLD ARCHIVE][Major][Poll] Designated City
DIR By: Tomashi
Date: December 27, 2012, 9:55 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
As brought up in another topic by BlackAndy, no concrete
decision has yet been made on which of the three cities we will
use for the main one.
Do we use them all? Do we use just one?
Perhaps start with one and expand to the rest when we get more
players; to keep the playerbase concentrated and close by?
It's up to you to decide, because it really doesn't matter! With
the functions provided for us to use in 0.3e, we can redesign
and recreate every city if we wanted to. Just base your decision
on which road / traffic layout you like best, and landscape you
like best. Everything else can be renewed, and I'd love to hear
your suggestions regarding that.
Also please know that regardless of which city the gameplay is
focused in, all three cities will be open for exploration and
freeroam, at all times.

Did this tonight, just an example of what we could do:
-Mapped in Hashbury, SF.
-Removed construction site, replaced with large apartment /
office.
-Removed misc. trees, changed grass ground texture to concrete.

Ignore that 'bad' thing, if you notice it. I...photoshoped that
in there, just for...fun.
;)
I also want you all to take note that with the SetObjectMaterial
function, the requirement of custom SAMP wall / floor objects is
almost complete gone. The object count used for custom built
interiors will be significantly dropped with this; and better
looking interiors can easily be made!

I think that we should just use all 3 of the city's, no point in
starting with one and then leaving work for later when it can be
done straight away and bit by bit changes for each city. Instead
of having a whole custom city and then needing to change the
whole of SF and then LV afterwards for an example instead we do
changes to all cities little by little :) Also changing the
grass into concrete could be a little annoying because of the
map which would still show grass and not building(I'm probably
the only one annoyed by that :P)

Are we trying to attract people to LS, or are we just keeping it
equal for all three cities? Bit by bit seems fine, maybe you
could release the server after all scriptwork, then adding maps
bit by bit, to keep players interested. (Implying we started
spreading the word and got some people here).

I voted for LS only either way, I'm always in favor of LS, and
it IS a bigger project than anything else. (Ghetto, Richman
etc.)

Yeah but like Tomashi mentioned we could make any city it's own,
LV could be made into a poorer city with ghettos around n such
making it more gang friendly instead of a mafia based city and
we could also make SF more attractive for players to be
interested in roaming around in it :)

If you'd really be annoyed enough about the map not showing
custom buildings...
I could use the GangZone script features to create grey boxes
that would overlap the grass on the map. Nobody would know! ::)
Also, the reason I made this topic was so that we didn't have to
push for LS. Normally LS is the best for diversity and detail,
and really features the most suitable areas for Roleplay; though
with the map editing abilities SAMP 0.3e gives us, we can change
any city to be any way we want it to be.
As BA said, some 'extreme' ideas such as removing all the
casino's from LV, flattening them out, and turning the entire
city into a massive ghetto....would technically, be possible.
So we don't need to pick any particular city for any particular
reason; just choose your favorite Road layout (we can't change
the roads), or choose them all! :P

Here's another example, this time I put alot more work into it
just for fiddling around sake:
-Removed a large building from SF.
-Placed a flat concrete surface overtop.
-Placed several new buildings from LS, Dillimore and Angel Pine.
Retextured each building using textures from the Chinatown
buildings nearby the new placement.
I had this idea of expanding the chinatown district in
SF...normally it's just 2 city blocks, I'm thinking we could
make it much larger, possibly 6+ blocks. Would make good use for
a Triad gang 8)
Same could be done for the Hippie area.

Yeah, with the new capabilities we could maybe even make SF
interesting for players to visit and make it active as on some
servers we've seen that people don't really like going to SF :-\

Exactly my point. Unless SF is the main city players usually
stay away from it. It's not really the most bright & sunny city,
nor the most interesting.
and since SA is..what, almost 9 years old now? every city is a
bit boring; and we have the ability to change that 8)
