August Development Update

[Sparke]

http://i.imgur.com/Y8tj7hK.png

With all of the recent updates to the server (Drug system, fire system, and the weapon system) I'd thought I'd start something new for once and that's getting a routine development update onto the forums. This is to help with the lack of transparency the server has gotten in recent times. The plan of these are to help get the communities involvement on day to day changes.

We have planned changes that are currently undisclosed, and are still being discussed however we currently have other things that will hopefully suffice in replacement for now. One of our biggest priorities currently is providing a fix for the vast amounts of crashing players are currently undergoing. We know there are tons of issues that are currently not resolved however over time we'll hopefully get the server to a some-what completely stable finish.

Another thing the development team has had trouble keeping up is the donated scripting. We currently have no stable way of taking care of these things so I plan to go through and properly change the process of how it's done, and limit the things you can donate for. We also have a lot of outdated code just sitting in the doner scripts which isn't being used so I plan to go through that and hopefully eradicate all existing useless code.

However we do have some announced things that are soon to come. Here's a short but expected list in the near future:

Anti-cheat
Limited ammo
Family updates
Custom damage


We have no set date on when these will start being put into play however just know you can expect them in the near future. We plan on working close with the admin team for these updates to see what is needed first, and what they'd personally like to be in each system.

To wrap up this entire announcement I'd like to say thanks to everyone who has been helping the past (admins, testers, players, etc). We thank you for waiting by this long for fixes on some of these bugs. It's not the easiest of task trying to fix the problems and I appropriate that you guys understand that. The entire end goal of this is to streamline processes, and stabilize the script.

But taxi?

[Sparke]

But taxi?

I'll assign a dev to it now and hopefully it'll be ready for next update.

[Chris Sanchez]

Sparke on top once again.

[Josip]

Good luck with all that, but fact is that we had threads and ideas of this sort yet threads were forgotten most of times.

[Adams]

Augest is a codeword for 'never(?)'

[Sparke]

Good luck with all that, but fact is that we had threads and ideas of this sort yet threads were forgotten most of times.

I completely agree with you. It's not intentional I assure you that. It's not the easiest being able to sort through tons of threads. We're currently trying to knock out the bigger problems before moving onto the other suggestions. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Sean Bears]

augest ????

[Laza Kov]

glad that the devs are trying to communicate with the community for once and show what's happening behind the scenes. let's hope this isn't just another empty promise though

[Sean Bears]

I'll assign a dev to it now and hopefully it'll be ready for next update.

For the love of God, change the hotline to something else! 420 has been my number for about 7 years now bruv!

[Max Payne]

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, AUGEST, September, cOcKtober, November, December

Nice stuff incoming, hope the server survives without Darwin.

[Sparke]

augest ????

I'm artistic sorry.

[Nazario]

Family updates, gr8.

[Carlo Messina]

Hope you will improve the server, nice updates btw, i like the families one. Will you add the mechanic faction, not the useless job, one day?

[Johnny™]

[Pringle]

Because government totally has a button to instantly call cops to their location IRL.

[Sammy Bruetti]

Already in progress, however taking slightly longer than expected.

[Lloyd]

Turfs >>>>>> Points

[Winton]

Thank you for your hard works Sparke, we appreciate it.

[Petrucci]

My script? and all the features we agreed

[Panky]

Limited ammo is a godsend, if you actually do it.

I can give you some realistic ammo quantity for each gun if needed.

[Don Royal]

Without sparke, sarp would be dead

good luck

[BobLarson]

without emily royal, bullshits would be dead.


good luck.

[BradPair]

without emily royal, bullshits would be dead.


good luck.
Eh man fuck off asslicker

[Zack_Xiao]

Shit. LIMITED AMMO??? LOL, RIP random shooters.

[Lord Marshall]

"Limited ammo will be added soon" you've been saying that from ages.

[Michael Beneventi]

JUST MAKE A REGISTRATION SYSTEM, ROLEPLAY AND OOX KNOWLEDGE - THANKS!

good work

[Petrushkin]

Remove sprunks!

[Gangsta_James]

Alright, Good luck for the next Update.

[Luka Hawthorne]

Not bad, Sparke. Not bad.

[Jake_John]

We need interest on paydays back.!!!!!

[Destiny]

Not bad, Sparke. Not bad.

[Panky]

Fuck off.

[Moonbear]

"Limited ammo will be added soon" you've been saying that from ages.

"You", so if a previous developer promised you and left does it mean that the new development team is going to as well? No, we are going to do it.

Don't know if you're joking or not but that's stupid.

[Hristian]

If only this thing happened 2 or 3 years ago, maybe we would be enjoying a larger playerbase today.

[Bella]

You are correct, good luck!

[MarcusW]

[/qoute]


Well you too said that it'll be implemented soon and nothing happened, anyway my "you" refers to the development team not Sparke.
Hope this time you really mean it, good luck.

[Jake_John]

Fuck off.

Poor lol

[.17]

looking DOPE

[Keshaun]

If there's going to be custom damage does that mean there's going to be less people rolling around with full armour?

[Melancani]

It means that full armor won't do anything if you get shot in the head.

[SupahLemuel]

hopefully this gets implemented, maybe i'll come back.

[Petrucci]

Remove sprunks!

Easy said when you have access to cheap kevlar and full armory

[Petrushkin]

Easy said when you have access to cheap kevlar and full armory

What kevlar and armory has to do with HEALTH which is provided from sprunk machines..? When was the last time you saw someone actually using marijuana for health..? No one even bothers having because they know there are shitloads of sprunks, vending machines and food restaurants they can eat/drink from and gain health.

[Lance]

the real reason why the server's lost a shitload of players and continues doing so is you lot trying to turn sarp into some heavy rp shit, with ideas ripped off lsrp. everything worked since, what, 2008 until you started adding some new vehicle system, drug system and restricting weapons from public

lot of people say YES OMG!!! lets Do that !! and then they dont even play because they realize how shit it is.

1 - The drug system is the exact same but with different names, 1 new drug, and /usedrug instead of /usecrack /usepot (oh and /dropdrug was changed that's all)
2 - The car system was to replace the basic one (even tho I liked the basic one wasnt my choice at the time)
3 - Guns are still accessible by the public

About the drug system, why r there 4 drugs with 0.0 even doe we dont have dem. it should be only what u have, not what you dont have

[Sparke]

/drugs was made as a debug /inv is supposed to be used for viewing drugs i just left it in because people said it should stay

[Insaner]

I think developers main focus should be on Custom damage and a registration quiz/test and a well written tutorial on how to rp in-game.

Yes, agreed.

[Mathias]

I'm not sure what everyone wants to accomplish with a tutorial/quiz/test. I'm pretty certain that most players that joins knows how to roleplay but they're here to fuck around because that's what the server is seen as: a place to fuck around, including by it's active playerbase, lol.

Negative, a lot of trollers and newbies join and they can't even RP, they always MG and saying "please give me 50k to buy level 2".

Are you sure you are playing SARP?

[Mathias]

Negative, a lot of trollers and newbies join and they can't even RP, they always MG and saying "please give me 50k to buy level 2".


And you expect them to read and learn from a tutorial, when they won't even respond when you talk to them, but rather keep spamming their "please give me 50k to buy level 2"?

[Justin Fakie]

Fuck off.

Don't know if you're joking or not but that's stupid.

Many of us have made hundreds of millions from it already. People have roleplayed investment firms that pooled money and made even more. The joke really is on you.

And no, eliminating every way to make money and making everything expensive won't fix that.

well i kinda need around 1 million to level up, do you mind? :smug::smug::smug:

Had my hopes up for next update and honestly am kinda disappointed now.

[Lance]

Fuck custom damage. Bad idea.

[Username.]

dming is going to be much more fun with custom damage

[Picaso]

Limited ammo? Never ever mind telling me wtf is wrong with the taxi job from 2 years that you dont want to open it?

[Gangsta_James]

LMAO the Taxi Job is not fit for the though since we have a lower player base here.

You stupid, taxi job would be perfect for server, if you don't like ammount of clients you get you can do another job, but there are people who find the job fun, so don't tell me taxi job is not fit for the job, fuck off you dumb cunt. Also maybe there is connection between lack of players and lack of taxis, ever thought of that? Probably not it would requiere too much thinking capabilities to come to that conclusion, you tard.

Taxi job is useless because whenever a taxi is needed they are never online. It's actually faster for people to walk from their location back to LS. Not only that but not every newbie in SARP knows where everything is, they tend to get lost.

[Avery]

Doesn't changing /disguise so it only works in a CLOTHES SHOP kinda defeat the purpose? It's used so you can roleplay putting on someone else's clothes...

New updates are cool though.

It doesn't even work in a clothes shop, either. Thanks Troy Bradshaw for the brilliant fucking scripting.

It's going to be removed with the next update anyway and will be back to normal.

Nope, players will abuse fare and farm cash.

[Dionysus]

Applications in order to register to SARP and reset the server.

Poeple with 500m
People used to create mafias and fear people by stealing their cash and more but nowadays people have a gun and shit on everyone
It used to be fun when people spent hours on working for their cash

[Pea__]

Ageed. Also remove guns players will abuse them and DM others.

Remove cars players will abuse them and car ram park others.

Remove bodyguard job players will abuse them and heal during gun fights.

Remove detective job people will abuse it and MG other players location.

Dumb fuck.
