v0.1

- Initial BETA version

We have rewritten LVPs gang handlers from scratch. There are many new features for gang members. Here is a short summary:

* In game gang registration: All gang data now saves.
* Gang Turfs Attack and Defend
* Improved gang base property
* Special gang base turfs
* Special gang base interior and armour/health goodies
* Improved gang banking

In-game gang registration and gang control

If you would like to register your gang, your gang leader must go in game and request it by using @gang [id of leader] [name].
This is subject to change and is only temporal whilst we finish testing the system. In the future we plan to remove the requirement of admin interaction.

Note: If your gang leader leaves the gang, the gang will be destroyed.

Available commands for gang leaders:
/mygang [color/name/bank/kick/info]
For example, to change the colour of your gang, type /mygang color light green.

Available Colours for gangs
White
Light Green
Bright Red
Purple
Very light green
Cyan
Pink
Light Green
Brown
Orange
Blue
Green
Red

The colours are fairly limited at the moment. We plan to change this for future versions. You can view this list ingame by using /mygang color list

Available commands for other players

/gangs
/gang [create/invite/join/leave/info/data*/attack]

* /gang data was removed due to some last minute problems and will be deprecated in future versions.

Gang Turfs

To attack a gang turf, make sure there are at least three of your gang members present in the turf and type /gang attack. A textdraw will then show counting down the seconds until the turf is yours. If, at any point, there are less than 3 attackers in the turf, the capture will stop and you will have to start again. We plan to change in this in the future and remove the need for a command.

There are currently 102 turfs to attack. A bit much indeed, we will see how the feedback goes with this and perhaps remove some in the future if people generally feel there are to many.

Gang Base

The Gang Base has had some improvements. There are now 2 gang turfs associated with it. You must own both of these turfs to buy the gang base property.

Around the back of the base is a new pickup, which is the entrance to the gang base interior. You must own the gang base to be able to enter. Inside the gang base there are lots of goodies such as armour, health, weapons and a 'special' property. You can also buy new spawn weapons from inside the base! We plan on adding more features, such as a party area, a bar, and maybe some stripper NPCs.

I won't spoil to much of the gang base interior - you'll have to capture the base and see for yourself! The interior is huge - probably one of the biggest interiors in the game. It took me a _while_ to find the exit.

Now get ingame and check it out! It's really fun, and certainly kept me and some other old schoolers entertained for a few hours.

After Christmas gangs are going to be the primary focus of this development team. We may add anti team kill, gang houses, and will as time progresses improve the territory system. This should hopefully increase player accounts.

Please post your suggestions and any feedback in this thread. Please also remember to report any bugs found with this system in the bug reports section.

We hope you enjoy these gang updates and the many, many more to come!

Damn, the new gang system is f*cking awesome! Nice job indeed. Keep up the good job! Today it was pretty fun.

The only suggestion that I have for now is to let it have the possibility of create temporary and permanent gangs. Surely there will be people who will not even be registered, so why would they join a permanent gang? There are also people who just don't have clan or are always changing of gang with new friends, thus I think temporary gangs would be useful. As far as I know if there are only 100 slots to save 100 gangs, it will get full pretty fast.

So:
/gang create (the normal one) should be to create temporary gangs.
/permgang create should be to create permanent gangs.
