Overview

 

The preexisting system for chopping vehicles has been overhauled and along with it an additional system for parked NPC vehicles has been implemented to provide car thieves with more opportunities.


You will be able to chop any vehicle you believe is worth the trouble and you will receive appropriate resources based on the vehicle's worth instead of a wanted list.
 

NPC vehicles will spawn throughout the day and they will contain random sets of items, ranging from everyday items such as chewing gum and small cash up to very rare cases of stored-away narcotics and weapons. These vehicles will belong to actual characters, although the user that created these characters is the server, and they will occasionally report the vehicle you broke into as stolen. These NPC vehicles are also equipped with random levels of security.

Upon chopping a vehicle, you now receive two resources: car parts and electronic scrap. Different factors of a vehicle yield different amounts of these two resources. For example a heavy and big truck provides you with more car parts than electronic scrap. An expensive sports-car yields more electronic scrap.

  • Over 300 individual random spawn points inside the city...
     
  • Vehicles that are registered to actual random owners...
     
  • Random items, with the chance to sometimes receive melee weapons, drugs and money
     
  • The chance to find a temporary key inside a vehicle...

 

 

One of the most significant changes of this update is the implementation of NPCVehicles. These vehicles are practically the same as every other player-owned vehicle, however, they are more persistent and don't get despawned by a player /vparking them. They randomly spawn throughout the day.

 

Along with it, a "word on the street" page has been added to the chop-shop script in order to allow chop-shops to receive real and fake messages about possible locations for these valuable vehicles, giving them more advantages.

 

They contain random everyday objects, including cash, inside of them and sometimes also illegal stuff such as drugs and weapons. If you're really lucky you can also break into one of these vehicles just to find a key, which gives you access to the engine of the vehicle (essentially a /vdup) and you can drive the vehicle around without having to leave the engine on the whole time.

 

These vehicles can be stolen and chopped just like any other vehicle, however, with a certain chance they will get reported as stolen, so be careful when driving them around...

  • New resources: CAR PARTS & ELECTRONIC SCRAP
     
  • New business ventures: SELLING ILLEGAL GARAGE COMPONENTS & DEVICES
     
  • Steal and chop any vehicle you want...

     

The chopping system has been changed in order to allow you to chop any vehicle regardless of any wanted list. This means that you can now determine for yourself which vehicles are worth it by using factors such as the price of a vehicle and its weight
 

Depending on the price and weight you will now receive a different distribution of resources, for example, an expensive vehicle yields more electronic scrap that you can use to craft devices. A heavier vehicle, such as a truck provides you with car parts that you can use to craft metal parts and then eventually other items such as lockpicks.
 

A crafting menu has been implemented and you can access it with the /craft command. It will provide you with recipes and items such as devices that you can craft out of these resources.
 

Furthermore, you can now try to sell car parts that you own to other garages that can choose to buy cheaper illegal car components and then use the "convert car parts to components" option to make use of the car parts instead of legal components in order to modify and tune the vehicles of their customers.
 

With the removal of the old blacklist system, you are now free to come up with your own lists and determine which vehicles are worth it by taking the price and mass of the vehicle into account.

Each chop shop can only chop a total of 35 vehicles per week so set your priorities straight.


The Illegal Faction Management and the Development Team now also have the possibility to better track how many resources were extracted in a given time and with that, they can hopefully also better adjust and tweak the system in the coming weeks should there be instances in which too many or too few resources are given out.
