Peru's Guidelines for LVP Success

Hello fellow LVP administrators and developers,

Below you will find a meticulously-crafted guideline that if followed, it will guarantee more than 100 players on the server at any given time. The following steps require the co-operation of both devs and admins:

Step 1: develop fun features
Step 2: help new players

These steps, if followed, will guarantee an abundance of new players on the server. Thank you for your time.

The Head Admin.

He is omnipotent and all-knowing.

PRAISE THE ONE TRUE GOD!

A new version of LVP was pushed last night. I figured I'd post the changes here as we don't yet have a major release worthy of its own thread. Some of these changes have been live for a while now, where as some of them were only introduced last night.

- The LV car crusher/scrapyard is now functional again: http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/1540

- Cash/money formatting has been updated to human readable format. Previously, a million dollars (as an example) would format as $1000000 however, it now reads, $1,000,000: http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/1521

- The crew fix commands (/fix, /sfix) have been updated. Previously they had not proven terribly reliable. Sometimes a player would be unable to move, a fix wouldn't correct the problem, however /p [id] unfreeze would: http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/1565

- Interior spawn locations have been removed. I raised the point that we need more consistency across the game mode and having players spawn outside in LV helps with that goal. Furthermore, a portion of commands such as teleport are restricted in-doors, which could create confusion: http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/1564

- The use of ramps (/ramping) is now automatically disabled when participating in a cruise within x proximity of the cruise leader. We often used to end up jailing people who caused havoc by spawning ramps everywhere during a cruise. Hopefully this will allow for a more enjoyable cruising experience for both admins and players: http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/1562

- The server language has been altered. Previously, in the SA:MP client, no language was set. This has now been adjusted to 'All'. The reason being is that since LVP used to be an English-only server, and people were commonly muted/kicked for violating that rule, we want to try and get the point across that we no longer enforce this rule and that all languages are welcome: http://trac.sa-mp.nl/lvp/ticket/1538

And of course, thanks to cake for taking care of these updates!

Also, was r5092 ever pushed to production? If so, it doesn't seem to be working.

And these are just a few minor changes that my team has done. More to come.
