Title: Staff Updates, Mass Unbans and a Teaser
Post by: Arran on 30 11, 2013, 11:32:24 pm
It's been quite a week on CIT, we've gone through our last developer, JTPenn who resigned yesterday night. That's about 10 developers we've gone through in 3 years. I don't think there will be any more, I can't imagine anyone else reaching the scripting competency bar and to be honest I don't want any more. After 10 developers I've come to the conclusion that they usually don't do enough or do useful scripts for them to be worth it. Although that won't make sense to any of you, a lot of work is required by me, for those developers to function as I have to spend a lot of time giving feedback, fixing other peoples bugs and exploits, etc etc and in that time I could have just done the stuff myself. This isn't directed at JTPenn though (except a few exploits), he's done an absolute ton and was definitely worth it.

The second significant staff update took place today. A new duty has been created called the Account Recovery Manager proposed by Cherry who is now a manager along with Jamie. This new role comes with log access to check your claim and the ability to change your account password in the event that you lose access to it. See this topic for more info: http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=104185.0 (http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=104185.0)

A while ago there was a survey done ingame asking a variety of questions and one of these questions was about lifting every single ban which is obviously ridiculous as over the past 3 years some absolute scum bags have been banned but 51% of players voted yes. Most of these players are probably voting yes for 'the lulz' or because they know somebody whose banned. Obviously we're not going to take that 51% seriously but they did have a point. A lot of bans aren't a big deal and could easily be lifted without an immediate barrage of evil landing on the server. So I lifted over 2000 permanent bans today most of which were for flaming staff and impersonating staff even the 40+ players who used the name [CIT]Arran. Most of them probably won't ever rejoin and if they did hopefully they've grown up since then and if they haven't it'll only take 5 seconds to ban them again, so no big deal.

And finally, there's something I only imagined scripting but in the past few days I've been working on it and it's going to be by the far the largest ever script added to CIT and is going to be the most engaging and interactive script ever made but I don't want to spoil the surprise but honestly, the potential of this idea is so huge that I don't even know where it will go myself. I'll just post a little picture and let you all make theories up about what it could be:

We'll miss him ( JTPenn ) in the staff chat, aswell. I think you're right about the survay, it's for the lulz, but also, eventually people who are banned indef, get unbanned after we see some change or another in the person appealing. Not always, but mostly unbanned.

So even though I worried about all these unbans, I suppose we should hope for the best and that they've matured and show some gratituted for their new ... life I guess, I guess some people will be happy, others .. well we'll see how it goes.

Already excited, :3

I can only imagine, I don't know how it'll be or what it'll be like, I suppose that's why it's so exciting, it's an unknown, but a fun one at that. Happy Cherry is moving along well, she's doing a great job too, as we all try to.

I look forward to the future, my biggest wish tho is for you and all the staff to be happy, and I guess, for players to show a bit more appreciation and respect, perspective aswell, I feel some need that too.

Reminds me of the SMU, or however it was called, I believe this'll be really good, can't wait!

A court is where people go and see a judge and the say '' guilty / not guilty '' ... actually, read this [ I suck at explaining, especially now it's late ];

3. Law
a. A person or body of persons whose task is to hear and submit a decision on cases at law.
b. The building, hall, or room in which such cases are heard and determined.
c. The regular session of a judicial assembly.
d. A similar authorized tribunal having military or ecclesiastical jurisdiction.




Also more to the point, we don't know if it's a court, lol.

That looks amazing. my guess is that it is apartments. Reason I say that is because Arran said that he doesn't know where it will go. So when he said that it makes me think like 'What will be in a apartment?', 'What will the player be able to do'. Thats my guess, could by right, could be wrong.

Thats quite possible to, but I don't see CIT doing that yet as there are tons of objects in those games also. But I might be wrong.

There are 3 things I think of now :
1-We will be able to decorate our houses.
2-We will be able to interact with objects in our own houses.
3-We will be able to build our own houses

Anyway , I can't wait  to see it.

Wow, that finally will make me stop hating my house lol. Great job again Arran. it will be expensive?

One of the main purposes is to finally give people something worth spending their money on so yes but also it has to be affordable else nobody would buy stuff. So I will have to find a balance and create something that newer players can afford. Like a tiny 'lot' with just enough room for a freight container, stick a door on it (one that you can decide who it'll open for) and add a few objects in it like a bed for sleeping, filing cabinet for storage, work table for crafting, etc.

Whatever the player can afford, the player can have. Whether that be a freight container or a super mansion for themselves and their whole group. Or even... Your own factories.

Omg, I am gonna flip, one of the best games I ever played, allowed to make your own '' Home '', it's win - win, no other way round it. Aside from getting too excited and too carried away, how much can we build, of our homes, can we make ... dare I say it, mansions or large houses?

(( Obviously I am aware of any limitions that there could be, which I'd expect if there are any ))

The best thing here is, that if I want that sofa and that tv, and spend 2.000.000 on my house, I will spend it, people will now have another reason to actually want to earn dosh, amazing.

EDIT:

About house prices, this is just thinking, we're not even sure how pricing'll be but, what if there was '' lot sizes '', so if you bought the smallest lot of land it costs xxxx, and the largest lot of land costs ... xxxxx? And then, if you add like ... large walls, the price is set higher, obviously, compared to small wall.

Like;

Small LOT of land: 5000
Medium LOT of land: 15000
Large LOT of land: 50000

( That's just the land, not even objects )

So wouldn't it be the same for the objects?

Small wall x by x: 250$ per object ( place 4 walls, 1k for walls, maybe too cheap )
Medium wall x by x: 2500 per obj
Large wall x by x: 10000 per obj



Anyways, we don't even know how it'll be, I'm just basing this off other games I've played, and you have categorized objects, more larger and classier objects are obvs, more expensive and cheaper, smaller and crummier objects are naturally, cheaper.

I supposed at the end of the day, it's how many objects are available to be '' walls, doors, windows '' etc. We'll soon find out I suppose!

If you are saying "huge script is coming" then we can't wait it. But somebody gave the right answer. I am just giving you thanks in this post because you're working hard on this server (scripts etc.). Haven't you real life ? or school. Huge thanks. From this moment I am going to learn Lua. Maybe I can help you or others a bit, just a bit. Maybe it will be a trivial thing for you but will be different for me.

You'll buy a zone that has been created by staff. Zones will come in different sizes, from super small (enough for 1 room) to super large (enough for a super mansion, warehouse and factory) and this idea isn't just about houses and factories.

He actually did perfect job by developing on this server ,with all these scripts and all his effort on it.

I think this script will allow us to put some furniture and some objects in our houses. Good luck with that Arran.

I was thinking the same surprise how can you modify your own room / interior.

This will once again make CIT alot more unique as it will have yet another completely great and big system that no other servers have and thus highlight it from the list even more.

I'm very glad that you're working on another big system like this that I wouldn't even dare to dream of coding, and that goes for many java and lua developers. I hope that players like Suly will keep providing a few scripts here and there and support you, even if you don't officially have any developer right now.

I read stuff about Factories, worships and powerplants. So do you have future plans to create something similar to a real economy in CIT, where people can actually produce goods that other players can use?

Dear Arran:

As well if you are working in something related with houses I just want to remind you a old suggestion made by me: http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=83741.0 (http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=83741.0)

As well it can be useful.

Anyway I am excited of see these news.

I read stuff about Factories, worships and powerplants. So do you have future plans to create something similar to a real economy in CIT, where people can actually produce goods that other players can use?

I mean a system where people could actually produce and sell all the goods that are consumed day to day in CIT would be a EPIC update.

Hmmm, For me, I think, All players houses will be the same, It will be an empty room, Like a box, Then you will buy your own appliances, Furniture's, Etc., Then put it anywhere inside your house. :)

I was thinking that if there are some developers, they'll help Arran but honestly, I never liked the updates/scripts added by other as compare to that of the updates/scripts added by you. Even everyone do.

Your scripts are perfect/awesome/lovely/attractive/nice .. maybe as you said, you can manage it alone and ofc there will be more security in this way and ofc, you can maybe manage it because we know you are the best.

The accounts thing, I've seen that Cherry is doing really good works, I even wanna say "A Big Thanks To Her"on behalf of the whole community, She has done awesome works and we're proud of her/an admin like her. (1ce again, Thanks alot cherry for giving us your important time! :) )

Ofc Jamie is an awesome guy aswell, he is mature, he can manage this afaik. He has done hard works, he is a good guy.

By the way, I/We love the way you give us a surprises, I/we still remember how you added PDR <3 it was  so cool.

We/re ofc Extremely thankful to you Arran, you've made a lot of fans :D we love you, we're waiting for the upcomming surprise

lovely surprise arran, just asking, would we be able to decorate the exterior? like make a garden or something?

And how it will be the "House build editor"?

Thanks Arran for your awesome job, about the unbanned players, I think its a good thing, there is many people who got banned due his mistakes but that don't means they are bad players, so im my opinion I think you did it right. I would voted yes if I had been IG at the time.

Good luck Arran keep working to make CIT a Better place to play.


NOTE: Arran what about the Dev of Multi theft auto? that guys must be very good with scripts, you perhaps could ask them to support you (just an idea).

On reading the lines:

Quote
one of these questions was about lifting every single ban which is obviously ridiculous as over the past 3 years some absolute scum bags have been banned but 51% of players voted ye

Quote
A lot of bans aren't a big deal and could easily be lifted without an immediate barrage of evil landing on the server.

Quote
So I lifted over 2000 permanent bans today most of which were for flaming staff and impersonating staff even the 40+ players who used the name [CIT]Arran.

Honestly, I was like "Great Person, He Unbanned those who even impersonated him.. Him, who is sparing his time for us and unbanned those who flamed him.. even after being aware of his(Arran's) hard works..

Seriously, Arran is a Great guy, He work for us, He added courses to increase our information, to let us get some information by playing this game.. wow.. I hope you guys still remember this day: http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=70327.msg714193#msg714193 (http://cit2.net/index.php?topic=70327.msg714193#msg714193)

You'll buy a zone that has been created by staff. Zones will come in different sizes, from super small (enough for 1 room) to super large (enough for a super mansion, warehouse and factory) and this idea isn't just about houses and factories.

We here, all such innovative people, so I am telling you...

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A CANNABIS FARM, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A PLACE OF WORSHIP, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN A FREIGHT CONTAINER, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD YOUR OWN FACTORY, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A POWER PLANT, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A CASTLE WITH YOUR FRIENDS, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO CREATE A WORLD LIKE A BAD ASS, WERE AT CITY, WE CAN DO THAT!

I AM DOING THAT!

Nice to hear about this, i'm already very excited what's in that picture. About the mass un-ban, that wasn't the best idea but I hope they will come back without rulebreaking attitude. Even if some of them will, as Arran said it's easy to ban them again. Anyways, in that picture, looks like a staff greeting somebody... very interesting.

Edit: I just read Arran's post and we will be able to build something for example in LS/SF ? If yes, that's just amazing!

Indeed CIT has been here for a long time. How time flies.

BTW I really hope those who were unbanned learned their lessons. If not, well we know then what.

BTW it will be cool having interactive home system. That is what 3D is all about. I hope you can complete it soon, we are all eagerly waiting for it.

Well good luck to CIT and to you Arran for the future days that will come. I know they will be quite bright.

First thing I did after reading this was imagine what the hell was that teaser about. After reading the comment and being sure that it was house related stuff, and that too, an awesome addition to the houses.. I went straight to my house and disabled it being on sale 8).

To be honest, when I saw the admin log and all those unbans I thought you were doing it cus YOLO. After reading the logic behind it, it makes a little more sense. Doesn't have to be complete sense anyway, my curiosity doesn't really die.

will I be able to buy a lot if I already own a house? and in case of erasing houses, will we get our money back? ty

We're creating a new, flat, space, east of Los Santos in the sea.

San Andreas won't be affected, not for a long time, if ever.

I went straight to my house and disabled it being on sale 8).

Current houses have nothing to do with the new system.

I read stuff about Factories, worships and powerplants. So do you have future plans to create something similar to a real economy in CIT, where people can actually produce goods that other players can use?

I mean a system where people could actually produce and sell all the goods that are consumed day to day in CIT would be a EPIC update.

It's possible though it's a huge task so something like that won't be introduced for a long time. Though a lot of stuff can easily be scripted to produce things but an actual entirely player based economy would be a huge task.

Interesting idea, I guess we can have a "city hall"
Well that's what I meant.IT will be very good as in real life,their is ministers and president in many countries,so the Staffs are like ministers and the L5 staffs are presidents.and each one will have an office,I don't know if it can be the City hall or it can be the government building in LS.Anyway their will be many rooms their in the building and staffs should have a scheduled time to be in their office from the hour x to hour Y.at that scheduled time,people will be waiting in a waiting room waiting for the staff they want to meet.

To meet a staff in his office:

1-You have to go to the City hall/government building to reserve a ticket,you will fill in it your name,the staff you want to meet,why u want to meet him/the reason for meeting.

The Office Structure:

1-Each Staff will have his secretary,his secretary will have the job to schedule the people's order in meeting the staff.
Example: 3 Dec. 2013|Player X will meet [CIT]X at 21:00 GMT +2

2- The Staff will have to choose a secretary or two by anyway he likes,by making a request on fourm,by recommending,anything.

The System Structure:

1- each L1,L2,L3,L4 staffs will have an office at the suggested building (City hall/Gov building).(L1 till L4) are like ministers

2- L5 Staffs are the presidents.They all will be in one office called the ''Head Office''

3- L0 won't have a place at this government because they are new and should be an official staffs and new ones.   

4- Each Staff will Choose a certain time in which he will stay at his office daily.
Example: [CIT]X scheduled his Gov. time from the hours/minute X GMT to the hour/minute Y GMT Daily/weekly.

This is will be good,if you gave me the ok arran I will post it in the IG community.Hope You like it

Any Ideas,PM about it to avoid spamming this topic

You should read the reply I made that pushed him to suggest that, which is basically a repeat of what I said. According to the new house building script Arran is working on, accomplishing what I assumed might be the "huge" part about the new script, is very likely to be possible, as it won't require dimentions anymore, just objects beeing placed.

I think this script will allow us to put some furniture and some objects in our houses. Good luck with that Arran.

If its totally that ^ as you will be able to choose how you design your own apartment. Right from plotting the interiors, walls to placing furniture. And definitely they don't exist in GTA. So gonna make the age old GTA a lot dynamic, with those shaders and custom objects. Waiting for the surprise to come In Game.

Arran's creative ideas are the stuffs for which we can't leave playing MTA even at this age.
If he were given enough time to script, without having to worry about staff complaints, forum bans, game bans, discussions, useless suggestions, 10000 PMs, ass-lickings, he could have made a GTA V inside this MTA CIT.

I already know that, what I asked is if we are going to be able to for example buy a land of 1 million and then create a building in there worth I dunno 400k and then sell it to other players for a higher ammount for example 1 million 800k to get a profit form doing the job, thats the question I made earlier.

I can't wait to see this in CIT. Just image this in you head, your driving down the beach in sun-soaked LS, then BAM! you just see several houses that look like a millionaire owns (most likely a multimillionaire). It's just so awesome that almost everyone is getting what they want, the ability to build your own house.

It's actually possible as long as it's made in the main dimension. And if I understood correctly, we will have many more textures to choose from.

This is reminding me of Seaside City, though this time it's gonna have a bigger usage.

Woah, can't wait for that feature to be released. I've got a little question, where are we going to build our houses/castles etc? Inside the city (don't see how is that possible) or onto some kind of islands deep in the ocean?

No. Freaking. Way.

Holy shit this is going to be sick. I hope you realize Arran, your pretty much creating my dream game.

I've always wanted to see a combination of GTA and the SIMs, this is like one HUGE step towards that (seeing as I only play the sims to build houses lol)

Im super excited now! You are the man Arran! Thankyou!

I have a question about that. I talked with Brian about that in IRC and he says all you're doing is replacing models. But you said those walls or floors don't exist in GTA. I was under the impression that it's something totally new and not replacing any models. Now I'm confused. Someone help me understand? Otherwise, I'll just wait patiently for the surprise :D

[22:51] <Backsage> Arran said "Notice how those walls or floors don't exist in GTA."

[22:51] <~Brian> and
[22:51] <%BabY> Hi peep, the attacker didn't attack tonight?
[22:52] <Backsage> I hope he wasn't just referring to the textures (shaders).
[22:52] <Backsage> I hope he was referring to the actual model and the textures.
[22:54] <~Brian> it's pretty obvious
[22:55] <~Brian> Notice how those walls or floors don't exist in GTA
[22:55] <~Brian> = notice how we added them
[22:55] <Backsage> Ok, just wanted someone to confirm that to me
[22:56] <~Brian> adding objects in MTA?
[22:56] <~Brian> it's the easiest thing ever
[22:56] <Backsage> adding non-GTA stuff in MTA.
[22:56] <Backsage> Huh? How?
[22:56] <~Brian> GTA is full of stupid objects
[22:56] <~Brian> mod them and you'll have new ones
[22:57] <Backsage> No, I'm not talking about mods -.-
[22:57] <Backsage> I'm talking about importing non-GTA stuff.
[22:58] <Backsage> Isn't that what you and Arran did?
[22:58] <Backsage> without replacing anything. Totally new.
[22:59] <~Brian> We replaced models
[23:00] <Backsage> But he said "Notice how those walls or floors don't exist in GTA"
[23:00] <Backsage> That don't sound like it's replacing any models
[23:00] <Backsage> more like something totally new added.
[23:02] <Backsage> If it's not replacing models, then that means infinite possibilities!

Since arran said its one of the biggest scripts that will be ever done, meanwhile there'll be nothing impossible lets wait for it, i'll enjoy it as a surprise.

You'll buy a zone that has been created by staff. Zones will come in different sizes, from super small (enough for 1 room) to super large (enough for a super mansion, warehouse and factory) and this idea isn't just about houses and factories.

We here, all such innovative people, so I am telling you...

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A CANNABIS FARM, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A PLACE OF WORSHIP, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN A FREIGHT CONTAINER, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD YOUR OWN FACTORY, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A POWER PLANT, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A CASTLE WITH YOUR FRIENDS, YOU'RE AT CITY, YOU CAN DO THAT!

IF YOU WANT TO CREATE A WORLD LIKE A BAD ASS, WERE AT CITY, WE CAN DO THAT!

I AM DOING THAT!

What we do is remove useless objects (wires and cables) from the world and then a TXD, DFF and COL that was created in 3DS Max by Cheeze is applied onto the useless object and because there are at least 100 wires and cables that means we can add at least 100 building blocks to the game and potentially even use shaders to apply an infinite amount of different textures to the same building block though that's a long way off.

Yes but programming businesses would be a lot more work and won't happen for a long time.

You can always rely on the community's designers if you need more textures and txds, or even dffs

Initially you'll place each object one by one which will be time consuming and also expensive.

Later on I plan on creating a prefabs system which will be a lot more bandwidth efficient and therefore cheaper to buy and much quicker to place. You'll also be able to sell anything you buy so if the price goes down you can sell the old stuff and buy new stuff.

Do you think you will even be able to integrate a little economy system with this?

Like, players will be able to trade furniture with each other as well and there could even be a sort of job creating furniture. If you weren't bound to MTA objects you could even split furniture into classes like rich and poor.. hell, there's no end of options you could think about here.

But yeah, the the initial question is about the economy.

Show content
Like, right now the destribution of players in relation with the player count doesn't allow for an economy like all weapons and ammo are purely made by others in the iron miner job / or med kits are created by medics first.

But how about making a little system using this?

It's possible though it's a huge task so something like that won't be introduced for a long time. Though a lot of stuff can easily be scripted to produce things but an actual entirely player based economy would be a huge task.

Well as Arran said before, it is posible. However, it will require a lot of work and won't be introduced in a short period of time.
