[Suggestion] Gang Base - Extending
#1
Hey,

I have been playing a lot on LVP lately (Just gained Regular a little while ago, I just started playing hehe) anyways,

What I would like to suggest is mainly about Gang base's which I noticed there's one in LVP and I was thinking
of how LVP would be like with 1 or 2 more Gang base's , about them locations I was thinking of 1 of em could be in South-East LV where also
the car-export is located at, plus I am a mapper as well (ask me if I could convince you with my finished map(s)  :P).

I always could help around with objects when it comes to gang bases (or other object-related things), extending them for example with more objects/featurings (a hideout/house, garages e.g), making gang bases more attractive for players too buy it/hang around within it, was also thinking of maybe a heli-pad which could be added within a gang base with an maverick along with it, so people have a extra ability to use a chopper when is needed.

At last I would like offer, if I could map you guys a gang base (in the meanwhile I will think of several other locations) or re-edit the current one and post pictures later on and if needed I can post the map as well ;)

I hope this suggest could be some a new add-on for LVP

Thanks for reading,

I like it. Perhaps in each gang base could be turfs, whatever gang takes over all three turfs, completely owns the city, and gets some kind of bonus.

Having a mapped base would look even better. There are future plans to make a per-world object handler, with support for each world to hold up to 150 objects, in  a case like this though, object streaming could be required, which could be heavy on the server. We are trying to reduce server performance as much as possible so players will have better pings. So I don't know about that yet.

Glad you like it, all tho for 1 gang base I was thinking around 40-50 objects will be fine or if anymore suggest more or less then that, in comparing with the total amount of current objects each a world it can be reduced or if theres enough space left even extended. :)

Cool. What type of things would you be looking at though, building each base from scratch, or just finding a spot and building it up (adding fences/barrels/etc)

A little hideout kinda of an enter able open house aka gang house and more look-out towers several smart placed barrels, a garage, heli platform if the space is enough along with it and more once I get too the mapping I'll get more ideas to add , a gang base should be protected with all force and shouldn't be easy to enter or just drop in, for example the current gang base with a placed ramp at the side , I think that should be removed imo.

Yea I'm thinking off finding spots and build up, adding several extra's

What I also just came up with that some of the  area could be used to train , fully closed up with cages (DM cage) so theres ability to train there as well , maybe not that necessary but would be nice.

Example how it supposed to look like ; picture, from an DM cage which I made a little while ago, which I could add as another extra thing so people can have some training in their gang base  :P

But this is lvp 2.90, and nothing has been announced on the subject, Ben.

nice Ghomy, I like the cages too. I guess they would be ok, but as stated object limits is the problem here, and lvp already uses a few in the main world (the other gang base as an example). However, 2.90 will feature a brand new challenge and FC system for training, so it might not be needed. Infact I'm thinking of adding a training system with a few different gun games.

hmz, those cages require LOTS of objects, I think you could better use an factory/warehouse building, and maybe a small hideout inside, so people can lay low for a while, while not contesting (avoid getting shot)

Well, it lags horrible at the current gangbase if there are like 15+ people fighting. Guess it's the tower and the dust when you shoot at the ground. Also, the most of the time the fights take place on the strip these days. :)
The more custom objects you add the more it lags.
But the idea is not bad to add additonal gangbases (I think we've discussed this subject ages ago)

Yes, but whats the point of building a shrine if your about to build a pyramid. Catch my drift?
