Nowadays, players can earn oil, drugs, cash, and ammunition in LV, but one resource that is heavily used and constantly purchased directly from the server—not from other players—is Iron.
Inspired from previous suggestion that was a little more complicated and no more open, I decided to suggest to treat this building (turf) as office of iron miner and warehouse, and make it pay iron instead of cash as it is the closest building to iron miner area.
What you've all been complaining about, the de-sync on mapped objects, is now fixed!
I thought that a bug fix that's only in MTA 1.7 will fix this, I was testing MTA 1.7 with Metall yesterday and luckily he showed me a great place to reproduce the bug and to my disappointment the desync was still present.
So today I have been debugging the cause of this de-sync and noticed that it's a feature called 'bandwidth reduction' (which we have used for 10+ years) which saves bandwidth by not sending all the data about players that are not in your field of view. However for some reason, sometimes a player on a mapped object is being classed as not in your field of view and so most of the sync data is being skipped, which is what was causing this horrible de-sync.
So I have changed this from 'maximum' to 'none' which now means that you receive full sync packets for all players within streaming distance. This does double bandwidth usage, but I think it's worth it because of how much y'all were complaining about this de-sync.
I will be reporting this bug to the MTA team so hopefully maybe it can be fixed and we can go back to saving bandwidth.
Simple and straightforward. Sprinting inside DS doesn't make any sense as it's disabled in both ARs and CEs, and since DS is classified as a CE I believe sprinting inside has no place. The reason I'm suggesting this because people basically escape fights easily and it makes the fights endless. Not to mention slipping off the ship and falling into the water after then you won't be able to get back to the ship because for some reason it moves faster than swimming.
Suggestion: In every AR, there is currently only one ped where you need to aim to start your robbery. The problem begins when cops start cracking and camp this single ped, making it difficult for criminals to even begin the robbery.
To counter this, I suggest adding 2 or 3 peds in every AR (3 in most of them, unless it’s a very small AR like NRH, where 2 would be enough) with 2 having armor location near too in out of 3 peds [Optional]. This change would not only help criminals deal with cops camping the ped point, but also improve the overall gameplay of ARs. It would actually make it more enjoyable for cops too, since they’d have to spread out around the AR instead of just camping one spot blocking eachother. Handling this would require better tactical planning for cop side.
Here are some pros of this suggestion:
Advantages:
Criminals wouldn’t have to run across the entire AR to one spot just to start the robbery. Instead, they could start the robbery from multiple locations within the same AR.
Cops wouldn’t be able to camp a single location and make it harder for criminals to start the robbery which often makes robberies end quickly and less fun for both side.
Both cops and criminals would be spread out in different spots, creating real combat situations instead of just kill-stealing each other.
Criminals would also have a chance to complete their robbery with 1 or 2 kills when cops are cracking, instead of having to wait until all cops are dead just to play
And I dont really thing that this suggestion will make any imbalance when criminals are cracking, even somehow it will help cops because criminals will be divided in different locations of Ar.
Also please vote on this suggestion, I will not let it accept or deny this suggestion without having most positives or negatives from community members
