Feature Showcase: Parcels (Mailman job) Overview You can now ship your items with US Postal Service, visit their Post Office in Downtown LS and set up the delivery! You can ship the following items: Envelope, Small/Medium/Large Cardboard Box, Crate Credits: - Oxez (retired Junior Dev) started backend idea - @mullet Interface - @St3fan[NL] Optimized and finalized backend Features Track Parcel Use /traceparcel to see your shipment status. Parcel Updates You get parcel updates when you send a parcel, but if the sender filled out your phone number you as receiver also receive updates. Express Delivery Do you need to ship an urgent parcel? You can choose to pay extra cash and get it guaranteed delivered within 24hours! NPC Deliveries If a parcel has been 'pending shipment' for 72 hours (normal parcels) or 24 hours (express parcels), the script will check every 30 minutes if a parcel is due for an NPC delivery. Meaning it will get delivered either way even if no actual player has chosen to do the Mailman job run. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What happens if I crash while accepted a parcel to deliver? The parcel gets put back into the postal office so another player can delivery it. Can I steal parcels when I accepted a parcel run? No you cannot. What happens if my parcel is in the middle of the ocean? Use /skipparcel, it is most likely a debug house which was accidentally picked. The job I accepted is way too far, I want to cancel it! Use /skipparcel. Can I ship the parcel to a fake name? Yes the name you enter is not being checked, if you want your parcel receiver to receive SMS updates the number must be valid. Can I ship drugs or weapons? Yes but like in real life parcels are checked randomly by drugs/gun canines, there's a chance your drugs/weapon parcel gets spotted and seized. What happens if nobody ships parcels, will the list be empty and I cannot do my job? The server makes sure there are at least 15 parcels every time, meaning if there's 5 player shipped parcels, there will be 10 NPC parcels. Video

@Wuhtah

Yes that is true. But even then, we dont have a store for everything. And There are shops out there that offer online shopping but you still are required to come by when they open to pick it up. I will look into the mailman status.

The thing with it being admin controlled is that it gives ANOTHER extra task to admins.. they are already swamped. Perhaps Testers can be given permission to handle these requests..? @Wally I mean I like the idea because some stores are just never or once a week open. And some stores just dont exist.

How will this be regulated or controlled against abuse?

Yeah they will be increased to 2 hours.

Scenes are meant for quick "scenes" so making them last for 2-4hours makes no sense you got a CIM for that. Ill see what the max time is but I could make it max 2hours =120mins

Managed to do it, added.

photoshop? XD

/bodyarmor

Added.

Figured out a way. Spoke with SD LFM handler.

Thats not how it works sadly.

Ehhh true didnt think about that. Ehm dont think it is possible then without revamping entire door system..

Wont be added.

Does not work like that. But if SD is okay with it. I need it forwarded from their LFM handler. Because I could make it unlock all doors within a specific property or properties. aka the prison on restart.

🤣🤣🤣 This man.

The concept is nice but I think in practice it needs to be controllable much more than just letting the script wipe the properties from someone. Like @Wuhtah said, if you RP a similar character just a different name it makes no sense for you to loose a property or vehicles. E.g. You RP a police officer, you are already forced by leadership to RP realistic assets. So in theory you cannot own anything your character cannot afford ICly. If you get CK'd on the job and/or you NC your character, you're still a police officer with the same salary so if it makes sense for your new character to keep the property and vehicle(s), then it should not get wiped. People will sell their properties before NC'ing if this becomes a thing because you also lose alot of cash when you just get your property wiped. This is not something a script can decide or not. If anything an option would be that you'd need to file a namechange request within the UCP when you own a property you wanna keep so PM can decide if you can keep it or not and process the NC (and take the NC token from your UCP). This way people who do not wanna keep a property can either sell it first or choose get it wiped, if they do not want to wait on PM to judge their case.

We have streaming limits for the markers, that is why they are limited the way they are. So unless that changes anytime, then we can look at this again.

1. Use the format. 2. Use the search function 3. Been suggested a thousand times since the start of GTAW and it keeps being denied. -> I have forwarded it to Nervous either way see if he wishes to open it up for debate. Until then it stays locked to avoid unnecessary discussion.

There is already an automatic AFK script in game that kicks in after 30minutes. Which freezes paychecks. If you need to log out but dont want to close the game then /changechar or f1 reconnect is the best way.

Already wip

My minion @valelele fixed it 😎

Ill lock it as its a confirmed bug ill fix it tomorrow!

@Kappaurel thanks. Ill have a look when im awake after nightshift!
