Quote:My name is Michael Corleone, and I am a gang leader called 'Las Venturas Mafia'. I enjoy and am involved with gangs like any other LVP player, but me and my gang have visited other servers, and got some ideas that would make LVP better. Not only with gangs, but the actual gamemode.
- A mailing system for a player or gang. If someone logs on, they can check their 'LVP Mail'. If a player is offline, they can mail a 90 character or more message that can go into some ones inbox system, even if theyre offline, they log on later and can read the message.
- Permanant Gang System, so if everyone in the gang leaves, and someone rejoins, they join the gang they we're last in.
- Terretories/Gang Shading for gangs (Like Purple, Shading on Maps like in SP in SA. Only, terratories wouldnt be shown on the map all the time, only when a gang war is declared. Onesidde would be orange, another purple or green, since these are the only shading colors avaliable in SA)
- Gang Balance. I dont know if LVP already has this feature (in my 10 months in LVP, I have never used it, or even know if it ever worked.) Basically, a feature where everyone in a gang can deposite or withdrawl (it can be pw protected by leaders) a bank for the gang.
- Ranking Structure Commands. As a gang leader, I have noticed that in 2.81, the first person who creates the gang, or joins the world, has all these commands that the other gang members dont have. If a gang leader is joining the gang as a regular member, the gang can be hijacked, and everyone kicked. Or color changed. LVP should have a ranking structure, where if a gang was a permanent one, like the suggestion I mentioned earlier, the gang leader will automatically recieve this power, as well as grant it or revoke other gang members other powers.
- Customizable gangs? - If someone contacts an admin for creating a permanent gang, an admin can go through a series of commands that will allow the admin to create the gang leader a custom gang. Like power names that can be granted. If I wanted to make LVM an official gang, I would
1. See if an admin is online.
2. PM him to have a permanant gang
3. Admin will see if he or she has requirnments
4. Admin will ask for the details of his or her gang.
If I wanted the /gang grant (user) coleader, his screen and rank would be : Las Venturas Mafia Underboss. But the rank Underboss would be customizable, and queried during the detail process of gang creation. Like if another gang wants rank or power 1 (leader) to be named 'Warchief' then it would be Warchief.
Those are all the commands and suggestions I have for now...I'm tired, and If I was awake, I could think of more and possibly give you the actual code for this. (LVP is in Lua?)
I'll be talking to you guys soon.

Quote:An idea for the gang base..
I was thinking you could make a gang base interior. What you could add : Health increase, armor increase, sawnoff shotgun, Tec9/UZI, and a money stack spawn. What interior would it be? an interior that you use to steal items in a house, 'Robbing'. Each gang could randomly have one of the houses. The interior could be in the back of the golf ball course, so there is no interior laming. If there is anything else, email me back and i can get it in
