[Feature] Drinking

[tomozj]

An idea we discussed was some kind of pub or bar, where you could drink until drunk. Different drinks would result in different effects -- strong drinks such as Whisky and Vodka having a higher alcohol volume than beer or such. It would be a way of socializing and fucking around, and bring some RP into it.

Jay reports SA-MP 0.2.5 will bring some drunk effects possibly, meaning we can start work on such a feature, and simply add the cinematics in after.

We thought that the more you drink -- the more fucked you are. Unable to walk properly (somehow), unable to participate in minigames possibly (eventhough drunk racing would be fun), crashing around, chat being fucked up -- all part of the fun.

Any thoughts?

I just thought of this: I remember from Vice City that you had to drive drunk(bringing Phil Cassidy to the hospital). Is such a thing also possible? That like if you're drunk, driving gets harder due to your screen moving or so! Would be nice for races/derby too.

Watch it. You can see in the bar and in the derby area where the effects seem to be in place. Theres also another video from kenny01 that shows it a lot more but can't find the link.

From the dev section + slightly edited, heres some suggestions what could happen after you keep drinking and drinking. (They go in order of how drunk you are, starting with soberish.)

- Not being able to buy strongest drinks
- Drunken animation walk every few minutes
- Drunk animation walk every 40 seconds.
- Not being able to use certain commands, e.g /teleport or /taxi, and not being able to sign up for minigames (too drunk )
- Drunken animation walk.
- Drunk camera stuff (from 0.2.5 if its finished)
- Not being able to drive
- Not being able to talk (maybe when u talk we could have it so it sends the message jumbled up)
- Not being able to walk. Just lying in the middle of the road for a few minutes (Put the lying down animation in) until you start sobering up.

Not a fan of the not being able to talk. will just spam the chat and it will be a lot hader to determine who is using a feature of the server and who is just plain spamming.

We could also add barman/women jobs. This would give RPérs really something to entertain them. Obviously it wouldn´t need to be nessasary or else 90% of the time people wouldn´t be able to get drinks.

p.s: Just a quick question, who is this beta team consisted of?

[Jay]

The Beta team is just the LVP admins for now.

About the spamming, it was suggested that a whole pub enviroment was to be made, in other words, you can only chat to other people in the pub. And we wouldn't jumble every letter up, probably something like 1/3 of the letters you type or something, and to get that absolutely bladded could probably take a lot of drinking.

Who says 0.2.5 will even be released, Kye stopped with it afaik.

qft,
But the rumours are being thrown about right now. I guess you would know before anyone else Peter.

If it isn´t released, then we´re screwed, yes?

Damn. Not the end of the world though really, just the unlimited vehicle models would have been kewl.

If it isn´t released, then we´re screwed, yes?

No. I don't know where people are getting the impression that it will only be finished after 0.2.5, especially ChAnSteR.

Anywho, back on-topic, if it doesn't get released we just won't use the drunken cinematic effects.

I got more ideas...

[17:32:03] <&tomozj> oh and something else, do you reckon when a user gets to 100% drunk they should go paraletic? That'd be funny
[17:32:31] <&tomozj> We could even create a system of having to take them to the hospital within 5-10 minutes or they die -- limit their movement

[Chillosophy]

Random b*tchslaps if there are players around would fit being drunk. Also random puking if alcohollevel > 20 (which will lower your alcohol level a bit)

Some minigame drunken players could play would be nice, to make the bar a real social place. I thought of poker, but it's just impossible with the current sa-mp. Can someone think of a simple but fun multiplayer game?
