GTAW 2.9 Development blog - Releasing July 16


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, there are multiple major changes that are coming with the update 2.9 especially for the illegal community. These changes will be detailed below, let us know if you have any feedbacks before the live deployment which will be done July 16!

 

1) : New character selection ( @valelele )

The picture of your character profile will be directly taken from MDC, or you can edit it from the Settings.

 

2) : New feature - House robberies ( @valelele )

 

This new feature was introduced to bring more script support for illegal roleplayers without directly impacting other players : items will not be stealable without using the old house breakin feature, so there will be 0 changes for legal players. It is intended to be a group feature and the group participating in the robbery will directly tag together and be able to participate.

We've added numerous limitations to avoid players chaining scripted house robberies (limited to one per day per group for now, and there needs to be some cops online in the 2.5 miles around you). These limitations may increase if even after the initial hype usage of the script there are too many robberies, the stats will be closely monitored the first weeks to ensure that the risk / reward is also satisfying & balanced.

 

House Robbery
Overview

 

You will now be able to break into an owned house once every 24 hours unsupervised by administrators. This process can be done individually or even in a group (3-4 players) and all what you need is a lockpick

 

This system exists alongside the /breakin system that requires an administrator and allows players to obtain items that are held within a property. However, the difference is that this feature does not require administrative supervision and does not provide players with items but instead boxes that are able to be sold for monetary gain.


Features

 

NEW LOCKS FOR HOMES
A standard lock will be provided for each house, which can be viewed via the /pinfo or even /pmanager. Another type can be purchased from a Hardware Store and can be installed next to or inside the owned house. This lock will protect the house from future burglars.

GROUP SYSTEM
The whole process can be done individually or with a number of participants. It requires a leader who holds the required item in the inventory, and those next to him will automatically be included in the breaking process. This means that the process is streamlined regardless of whether you are an individual criminal or a career criminal participating in a home heist with accomplices.

 

PICKLOCKING PROCESS
The well-known pick locking minigame mechanic will be available when a house robbery is attempted. Once you are near an owned property, with the required item in your inventory you can press X->Rob a property or /robhouse. The level of a break-in will depend on the level of the lock property. The higher it is the harder the game will be to gain entry into the property.

 

Once the game is successfully completed, the property will be opened and in a few minutes the alarm will start going off. During this time, the house can be entered. In order to continue the process, a required roleplay of a minimum of 2 different lines must be present. These lines cannot be more than 50% similar.

After the roleplay is done, a timer will start, the player will have to move around the house in order to get a furniture box in hand. With this they will be able to go outside and leave it in the trunk of the vehicle. They are placed into the vehicle by pressing Y next to it, however it must also be roleplayed.

 

Boxes can be taken from the property as far as the maximum weight of the vehicle will take.

 

SALE EXCHANGE
When the property is left, after 10 minutes has passed, an Information Marker will be automatically created which will display a message corresponding to the number of stolen furniture boxes. 

 

The more furnitures / luxurious the house is, the more furniture crates you will be able to gain from it.

 

In order to be able to sell the boxes, once you press X in the loaded vehicle you will be able to mark the sale location. You must then drive to the location marked in which is the exchange point. You sell the boxes you have obtained and are given a monetary reward. A box sells for $1,000. (price may be decreased or increased after deployment)

 

3) : Revamped alarms ( @Nervous )

Alarms have been revamped to balance them, as it was an overpowered one time purchase for house owners.

All alarms will now require a monthly payment to keep it active, and will not immediately ring after few seconds. It'll now take from 2 to 5 minutes for alarms to trigger, as listed below : 

  • Wiwang
    • 5 minutes delay before sound + flashing light 
    • Owner alert : no
    • PD alert : No 
    • Monthly price : $8000
  • Tenshun
    • 4 minutes delay before sound + flashing light + alerts
    • Owner alert : yes
    • PD alert : No
    • Monthly price : $10000
  • Toshi
    • 3 minutes delay before sound + flashing light + alerts
    • Owner alert : Yes
    • PD alert : Yes
    • Monthly price : $15000
  • ThriftEX
    • 2 minutes delay before sound + flashing light + alerts
    • Owner alert : Yes
    • PD alert : Yes
    • Monthly price : $20000

 

4) : Dynamic weapon damages & recoil ( @Strobe )

Administrators will now be able to dynamically modify recoil & damages of all weapons to make the requested changes by the community easier, and have some graphs based on the values

5) : Improved gun names ( @Strobe )

As a player, you'll now be able to edit your weapon's name by right clicking from the inventory or using /gunname (ID in inventory), which will open a list of authorized names for your weapon model. These names will be a list of IRL matching models from ingame models.

This list was made thanks to the work provided by everyone on https://forum.gta.world/en/topic/60250-gunname

 

6) : Selfie mode & new animations ( @azelat and @mullet )

We've added a way for you to take selfies using /selfie, you'll be able to customize the animation & camera from it!
