Notbond Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Media Team Update - Staff Interview & Faction Competition. I'm pleased to say this is the first of many Media Team Updates to come, in this edition we have our very first staff interview, this time around with Nervous the familiar founder of GTAW. Below you will also find more details on the Faction Video Competition which is open to all. I hope you enjoy our first update and I wish everyone a very happy holiday! - Notbond The newly formed Media Team will seek to provide players with insights into behind the scenes actions of admins and the founders alike. We aim to portray the thought process behind decisions as well as clear up misconceptions about them. We aim to interview each individual in the head of each role when they make a large impactful decision. Below we have the questions in bold, and Nervous' responses to those questions. Question: Well let's start with the big question, how goes the development teams progress with RAGE? Answer: The development for RAGE is going slow due to massive changes (mostly .NET Framework to .NET core) that requires a complete rework of the project. A lot of libraries are not working anymore too, and huge parts of the code must be changed/disabled. On top of this, we also encountered multiple bugs with the bridge and RAGE in general that we reported to the team If it wasn't already done. We're a bit disappointed with RAGE right now after our test on non-bridge servers with 50+ players, as game-breaking bugs for roleplay servers were found. However, we hope that these will be fixed soon! RageMP has great optimization with FPS. We also recently joined the GTMP tester team, where we are able to test updates before everyone else. I discussed with their team who confirmed that the next update will fix most of the current client crashes and also improve FPS a lot. Their net code was rewritten to optimize everything. So we must also keep hope on that side! Question: do you believe given their past, the GT-MP update will fix the big issues that members of GTA world have with their client? Answer: Yes I do believe that GTMP can definitely fix their problems. The sync is honestly good, If they can fix crashes and FPS It will be the best mod around. Let's see what's coming with next update! Question: Next question, with the recent events which we won't go into, How do you feel Joe has taken to his role as Head of Web Development? Answer: For now Joe is web developer, not head of web development. He did an amazing work with FaceBrowser, the upcoming ingame CEF phone so It was natural to give him the full role of web developer. He's indeed acting as head of web development until It's confirmed that he has the skills to handle such a role, which for now seems on a good way! Question: What are the upcoming development projects for GTA:W? Answer: If we completely exclude RageMP from this question, the next big projects are: -A full rework of the customization system, to allow players to buy one clothes and keep them forever for example in their house. -The addition of house robberies: steal clothes, furniture. A new trucking job to focus on player interactions and finally add the trailers in the game. The money update, which will contain a full money rework as already explained: money laundering through businesses, cash registers, IRS. Thank you for reading, and hopefully, this helps give you an understanding of what the development team are up too! Written by Mecovy.
