The modded car Declasse Merit seems to have several severe graphical issues, including but not limited to the following:
- No beam of light emitted from the headlights - a minor issue, but easily reproducible.
- When the lights are turned on by pressing H, some players will experience their entire screen turning tinted blue.
- When the indicator lights are used, large cones of green light are emitted from the car.
I originally thought the issues were clientside as the major issues subsided when restarting the game. When driving past another player just now, the player experienced his entire screen turning to a tint of blue thus showing that the issues aren't just clientsided as I previously expected. As for reproduction I'm not entirely sure but it seems to be related to the lighting conditions during nighttime.
Until the issue can be resolved I suggest removing the car mod from the game temporarily, as the graphical glitches caused to this mod can make the game unplayable for some players experiencing the issues.

You are the practically the king of the Port of Los Santos. As far as I'm concerned, your word is law.
I think allowing crimes across the entire area of the port is a better option than what we currently have, though I don't see why the IMEX lot should get special protections compared to other logistics companies based on at the port. -
What?
When has it ever happened that a faction has been shut down in its entirity only for it to pop back up a few moments later with no backing from the people wanting to continue the faction? As someone who has partaken in transitions of faction leadership, nothing of what you're writing seems to resonate all that well with me.
Perhaps it might be that I'm only paying attention to my own little bubble of street gang RP but I'm pretty sure it would be a well-known thing if factions were popping in and out of existance with different leadership nobody has ever heard about. If a faction gets shut down with most of its members leaving it, how is it able to retain its resources when characters holding those resources for the faction head out the door? -

lol they probably never trucked then 😛 i posted this elsewhere on another post https://streamable.com/4fsru4 but this kind of stuff happens to me regularly
(inb4 "you were caught lacking" while i was literally just driving lmao)
This isn't just a bad robbery... this is bad roleplay and should've been hit with a report and not a 911 call. The guy is in a cab trying to PIT manuever a truck...

I believe that CCW permits should be reserved for high-profile individuals who are likely to be specifically targeted for an attack. As a trucker, you are not specifically targeted more - you're not special from any other truckers. If you are the CEO of a logistics company who has been an established critic of organized crime in the city of Los Santos, and you've received specific threats to your life - well, then you should be eligible.
Having a CCW permit is special, and your characters needs to be specifically targeted for violence. Your character doesn't seem to be specifically targeted from what I can grasp of your story, just generally targeted and that doesn't make you eligible.
While many truckers might have guns in real life, I'm certain most truckers doing short hauls in Los Angeles don't. The same should apply for Los Santos, no matter how riddled with crime it is.
I've been (and I am, right now) a legal roleplayer myself but neither of my legal characters have been targeted and I have roughly 180 hours walking and driving around without having a single violent crime committed by or against me. My most recent character is a mechanic mostly focused on towing & recovery in South Los Santos and whenever I've interacted with the gangbanging minors people love to hate, I've always has a positive experience at least OOCly.- 1

Shooting someone while at gunpoint ICly because of the limitations imposed by us by this being set place in a game, such as having to lower your gun to type OOCly should be met with incredibly harsh administrative action IN ADDITION TO in character consequences.
Pulling a gun and shooting your robber because he is typing his next IC action OOC is metagaming, powergaming and an atrocious lack of common courtesy typical of a pay to win mentality. That's a lot of rules broken.- 1

Another problem, guys related to character development. So, at the mean time I developing an Italian-American character he is roleplaying with a sub-faction that is part of the Italian mafia faction. Now, the issue I have is that at that point, I am not able to progress with character development because I want to start a small business, and due to my RP I am roleplaying that this character is not reach or poor, but he is in the middle. Now I am afraid from one thing, that if I planned to start a RP business (Not clubs or bars) I may break my character development, because my character RPly still doesn't have money to buy an office and physical location he can use to start the business. So, I was wondering is there anyway I approach that kind of RP and my character RPly is not reach to be able to get the business ready or no? I really like to progress the character development in a way that opening a business will come naturally with Roleplaying. So, how can I start a business without breaking my character development plan or how can I approach that kind of RP without breaking my character development?
What would a person in real life do? Apply for a loan, open it up as part of a franchise agreement or lease the building. Owning the business outright might not be correct for your character's path right now, but managing one as part of a franchise agreement could be. -
FIrst of all I'd just like to commend you for asking for suggestions - you're looking to improve! Being open-minded and developing is an excellent mindset to create engaging characters and engaging stories.
Personally I like to start crime-oriented characters on why they turned to a life of crime in the first place. Most people don't have a lifestyle revolving around crime, even "full-time criminals" spend most of their time as reasonably law-abiding citizens. Some people turn to crime to afford expensive habits, such as a heavy drug habit or a gambling addiction. Buying drugs from dealers in Chamberlain or Davis opens up IC relationships both for business and pleasure. Getting into gambling debt with some Triad loanshark is another interesting storyline, but it's all up to you.
Having a job is fine and a lot of OMGs even promote their members to have one. Personally I'd choose something more static than being a trucker though, as that'll allow you to stay at one place where your IC contacts know where to find you. Personally, I find it gives me more time to roleplay as opposed to just ordinarily playing GTA. -

The problem with minor character is that they are portraying the IC inaccurately. It becomes annoying seeing minor characters sometimes roaming around and sometimes the right to be trollist because they are minors. Of course not all of them are like that as there are good portrayals I have seen of them from illegal Rpers and legal ones. The point is what is the point of them appearing in the server when there are no supports or servers mechanics. For an example I thought minors were for the university faction but they take people over the age of 18 years old, as I know a friend who was denied due to this. There is no purpose for minors unless there is some support like from the government or try to explore other types of RP. Otherwise what we see is two types illegal rpers and normal rpers that tend to be annoying as they have nothing else to do.
Most people make minor characters because most street gangs recruit very young people. It's not uncommon for a bulk of a street gang's members being younger than 16. The harsh reality is that most people above the age of majority are either dead or in prison. If anything I'd like more minor characters, given that they are portrayed accurately. Most people living in gang-infested neighborhoods don't want to join a gang - that's a lot easier to avoid if you're 18-19 and working a job compared to being 12 and living in a cramped apartment with 7 siblings and spending most of your freetime roaming the streets. -

Old rental property for sale in the reputable Chamberlain Hills neighborhood of South Central LS.
The apartment was renovated in 2008, with dividing walls giving the main bedroom a distinct feeling away from the main living room. All kitchen appliances etc from the previous tenant will be included in the sale. For the last couple of years, the apartment has been rented out with subsidies through section 8 of the 1937 Housing Act. The apartment has a lot of potential for investors looking to continue doing so, but the property doesn't come with any already contracted tenants and is ready for refurbishment or whatever else you might have planned for the property.
Please contact me at [email protected] ((forum PM))) if you have any questions or you want a small tour of the property.
Bids open at $50 000, buy-out set at $180 000 with the auction ending at September 17th, 14:00 ((servertime)).
((OOC information in the spoiler, including some pictures of the interior. It is mapped to look like a run-down apartment with nobody permanently residing within it.))
The propriator and seller of the property reserves the right to withdraw the sale at any point prior to the end of the auction ending. -
I would personally suggest setting up an IFM scheme request to import counterfeit "premium champagne" that in reality is just off-brand sparking wine with a nice label. Everything you need to know about getting the items for this scriptly can be found in this thread in the faction forums:

@Kaz Any update on this?
-
I will be doing my best to address the points of both parties reported, but I will refrain from any further replies until an admin picks up the report.
39 minutes ago, Shiesty said:we were out-numbered to begin with. Yes the fight ended up in deadly situation but we don't know in character at all the age of Shavon or if Emmet is involved with Barson.
You should have /examine-d Shavon. This was not your first encounter with the character, and character attributes are there so you know who you're roleplaying with. You could have assumed everyone hanging around to be associated with each other, due to them being in a similar age range.
Only one of the members present at the scene has a significant enough involvement with CMGB to be identifiable as a member thereof.41 minutes ago, Shiesty said:I also wanna ask for the clip with full audio, appreciate it.
I will be happy to provide that in a PM to the handling admin, but I would prefer to not share that with the full audience of the forums. I personally don't see what relevance what I was listening to has to the report.
43 minutes ago, Shiesty said:If you want I'll leave every evidence of Shavon Anderson provoking us.
I would be happy to have you provide evidence justifying your escalation to deadly force.
28 minutes ago, LMOB SspazZ said:We've had 2 altercations before this, one where we tried to offer business to your faction and you called us "Cops" and "Police" then the second was when you were provoking us on a dirtbike scream "COP" and "GAABAGOO". That led us to finding Shavon at the gas station, attempting to beat his character up to teach him a lesson.
Shavon is a 13 y/o kid. Two (or perhaps it was just Richard, at least in this only interaction I've had with you) white guys in tracksuits walking around in South Los Santos screams "weird". If your characters can't tolerate being called out for their behaviour, that's fine. Continuing to hunt down a kid and beating him down several times(?) seems over the top to me - especially confronting him surrounded by peers likely to help him out in a fight. That is what this situation is ultimately about to me.
I will admit that I am not intimately familiar with your previous altercations with Shavon. I was mostly caught off guard by the both of you escalating what was a fist fight into a one-sided firefight. Several other people at the scene, friendly with Shavon, carried firearms, but chose not to use them as it would be an over-use of power (lack of escalation) in what I believed to be a messy brawl with very little chance to even take the time to pull out a concealed firearm.32 minutes ago, LMOB SspazZ said:So if he character is 13 why is he calling grown men cops and riding around on a DIRTBIKE screaming at them, provoking them.
He found your behaviour way out of line, and clowned you for it. White men in their mid-20s generally don't pull up to start a conversation with African-American teenagers in Chamberlain Hills hanging out with their friends and doing low-level drug dealing (sellings eights of weed, etc)
34 minutes ago, LMOB SspazZ said:Benjamin can tell you himself why he pulled a gun, but personally I pulled a gun because Emmet Ricks decided to pull a wrench out of his ass then proceeding to attempt and hit me as see in this screen shot. " they could have gotten out with very little harm" AGAIN with the wrench situation...
I don't know why Benjamin pulled out a wrench, of all things. If it was a knife, I would be more understanding. Nobody was trying to kill you outside a CCTV-monitored convenience store, though I do sympathize that this is hard to fully grasp in the heat of the moment when you are mobbed by a large group of angry teenagers.
37 minutes ago, LMOB SspazZ said:So why is he fighting with yall, he is fighting because YOU GUYS were fighting. You tell me why he pulled out a wrench then you can speak on that situation @SleepyMamba
Emmet Ricks was a teenager hanging out with other teenagers outside of a convenience store. You attacked one of the teenagers, and he chose to identify himself as part of the group. I believe only Emmet Ricks can speak on why he felt the need to escalate the situation to using a weapon other than his own hands, but my personal thoughts is the following: He wanted to do some damage, to gain "clout" among his teenage peers.
Apologies if I've missed any of the points the both of you have made. I am happy to elaborate further, should it be deemed neccessary by the handling admin. -
Date of incident: August 15th 2021
Rules broken: Rule 4 - Deathmatching
Your ingame name: Keemari Patterson
Names of witnesses (if applicable): Shavon Anderson, Emmet Ricks, Ezekial Richardson, Joshua Hill, Armoni Bates (and possibly more, seen in the clip)
Explanation of the incident (250 word limit): Corretti and Bianchi pulled up to Shavon Anderson and his friends. Due to a previous altercation where Shavon accused Benjamin of being a police officer, Benjamin Corretti started to assault Shavon. Due to this, a fight developed to involve several of the people around Shavon. I personally jumped in on my character, Keemari, as Shavon is a 13 y/o kid and Benjamin is a grown adult in his mid twenties iirc from his character attributes.
In my opinion, the actions of Benjamin Corretti fall under the definition of deathmatching, provoking a situation where he could pull a gun on a crowd of (mostly) minors hanging outside a convenience store. They could have feasibly gotten out of the situation with a beating but they chose to shoot up the crowd they picked a fight with. At the point they pulled guns, at least from my perspective, they could have gotten out with very little harm as nobody wanted the situation to devolve into a gun fight with deadly consequences.

I would like to have this as an option alongside the regular taxi job, both of them being able to answer /taxi calls. It would be good for characters who are gangbangers or similar low-level criminals struggling to get a legitimate income for things like housing.

I will give the perspective of someone who mostly plays on the illegal side of roleplay on this server: If criminals are robbing people to get guns, the issue is clearly that there is a lack of more realistic supply routes.
Guns stolen from legitimate owners of firearms make up a very small minority of guns used in crime in the United States. I believe IFM is going to address this, following their findings in the most recent wide-scale IFM survey. -

i thought that was fixed with 1.1
I was doing some RP with trailers on July 24th, where an admin spawned 5 trailers. The desync was fine when it was just a small group of people roleplaying around it, but I don't think trailers are ready for "wide scale distribution".
-
It is because of desync with trailers on RageMP I believe. That is at least the impression I got from using trailers on the server - a heap of desync.

New thread, old character. I'm looking forward to see screens and more stories posted in the thread.

Handling.
@Kaz The report is related to another report as I believe my character getting killed in the first place was a breach of rules. For your information:
-
As someone roleplaying on the violent illegal side of the server, I believe there needs to be OOC measures to make sure there are IC consequences to characters who have several murders under their belt. It doesn't make sense that you can get away with 10-20 murders as a reckless gangbanger but I see it all the time both in my own faction and others.
NPCed witnesses? I'm just saying it should be considered when a gangland shooting occurs at a strip mall full of CCTV monitoring. This isn't the 1980s.
