This topic is a little bit related to one of my ideas which I saw that it's currently "Under Consideration":
https://mikescnr.com/forum/index.php/topic,18102.0.htmlI will extend everything that I have in mind and put all of my current ideas into this topic.
More Locations in San Andreas
One of the beauties of this (old but gold) game is its large map, the three unique cities, countryside, mountain, desert, its villages, etc. There's no such place that it's the same in this map. Since the game itself has a lot of used and unused interiors why not take advantage of them? I've noticed that this server is friendly to this variety. Adding more interiors / buildings / locations for people to explore would definitely improve the overall user experience for everyone, it might also bring new players to the server to have fun and enjoy this game.
I might add more things to this list in the future.Los SantosThis city and its 'villages' already got plenty of things to visit / do. But I have some suggestions:
1. LS Crack Houses robberiesPlace: East Los Santos, Ganton and Idlewood
Description: The whole part of East Los Santos, Ganton and Idlewood is known for its popularity with drug dealers. Why not add some crack houses where players can smoke whatever they feel like, chill and maybe (safe) rob?
Robbing drug dealers (and risk of dying stab my NPC with a 'knife) as mentioned in my other post would be also an option. They are already placed around the map but they can also be shown there.
2. Shop in PanopticonPlace: The Panopticon
Description: Add a shop in this place where you can buy the following pick ups:
- Brass Knuckles
Knife?- Golf Clu
- Shovel Pool
- Cue
- Nightstick
- Baseball Bat
- Katana
- Chainsaw
If not in this place, it'd be great if we could have this kind of shop somewhere or in more places. Adding something to do in Panopticon itself would be great.
San FierroI've said this and I will continue saying it, SF needs more places/things to offer. When you play in this city, there are only 2 other counties outside of the city Angel Pine & Bayside which is a little bit
restricted to play only in the West, North-West and South-East part of the map.
1. San Fierro Casino (added!!!)
Place: North of San Fierro
Description: This city is the only one with no casino. Can be put anywhere near Downtown but not too close to the PD.
2. Bank / Betting Shop in Angel Pine (ADDED!!)
Place: Angel Pine
Description: Add a bank or a betting shop or both in this place.
3. Bonus: Add something to do near WhetstonePlace: Whetstone
Description: An activity in this free space or NPCs (rednecks) staying around with RVs would be nice to see.
4. Unused part of SFPlace: Flint Country
Description: This part of the map is pretty much dead. Nothing to do except evade the cops. There are 3 locations that can be used for various things:
- add bars, stores, something to rob
- add spawn location
- moneybag location
- small PD???
- vehicles around
- car shop??
5. Forest activitiesPlace: Flint Country / Shade Creeks / Back o Beyond
Description: This part of the map is also a bit dead with nothing to do. Maybe add some events like:
- Off road trials
- money bag location (with a big payout since the place is big enough)
6. Bank in BaysidePlace: Bayside
Description: Bayside definitely deserves to have a small bank due to its popularity / classy place. Can be added here the same way ammu has been added.
7. Michelle's repair shop robberyPlace: Downtown San Fierro
Description: Add a safe in there so we can rob this place!
Interior:
Exterior:
Las VenturasThis city sure has many casinos and stores but it also has plenty of explorable area with villages/counties/whatever you want to call them and it'd be nice if there would be more places to visit.
1. Bank / Betting shop in El QuebradosPlace: El Quebrados
Description: Title pretty much explains it all.
2. Police Department in Las PayasadasPlace: Las Payasadas
Description: New PD in Las Payasadas would be great. With very few vehicles outside such as Police Rangers and Bikes. Also a spawn point for cops there.
3. Bank / Betting shop / Ammu? in Las PayasadasPlace: Las Payasadas
Description: Title pretty much explains it all.
4. The Four Dragons Casino interiorsPlace: Las Venturas, The Four Dragons Hotel & Casino
Description: Add the two interiors that are also available in the game:
The following interiors might not be 100% solid.Woozie's interior behind this door - "
Managerial Suites"
"
Maintenance - Staff Only" interior behind this door
where the safe can be replaced here, the same like the Redsands West Casino? 
5. Another Hospital in LVPlace: Redsands East, Las Venturas
Description: Add a new hospital here.
6. New Car ShopPlace: Redsands East, Las Venturas
Description: Add a new car shop here.
7. New CasinoPlace: The Strip, Las Venturas
Description: Add a casino here? The same like the Redsands West Casino. I know we have already 3 in LV but it'd be nice, or based anywhere on in 'The Strip'.
8. New 'robbery' building / city?Place: The Strip, Las Venturas
Description: Add a new robbery location here (OR CITY HALL ROBBERY): THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT from Single Player - similar to the bank robbery.
9. Bar in the desertPlace: Near Castillo del Diablo, Las Venturas
Description: Add a new bar here which should be obviously "lootable" with a good payout.
10. Caligula's Palace improvementPlace: Caligula's Casino, Las Venturas
Description: Remove the current safe from there and extend the functionality of Caligula's Palace:
1. Add the following single player interior maybe with a safe there (can be a small robbery).
2. Make the vault of the casino robbery work the same as the bank robbery one ( since we already have something similar
) and also similar to the single player experience from this mission:
We already have working "elevators" so why not do this? The robbers can obviously escape on the roof, either parachuting or taking a helicopter waiting for them there.
OR in order to reach the elevators they have to take the same route like in the single player, but this might be just too much effort for now. However, if this is considered, at least make the payout big (40k+) since it take a while to exit the casino via the front doors and there's a big risk cops will be there ready. In this case elevators might come in handy, even though the risk will still be big
11. Betting Shops in LVPlace: Las Venturas
Description: As I've mentioned before, add betting shops in Las Venturas as well, maybe also in the counties from the desert. Can be any good place.
Other ideas:
1. Suspects should be sent to small PDsPlace: All small PDs
Description: Not too sure if this has been suggested before but If a suspect is not most wanted but is arrested near a town/village/county like Fort Carson, he should be sent to the Fort Carson PD and serve the time there, or the nearest PD. If the suspect is most wanted, then he should be sent to the PD of the current city like LV. We have jails there so why not?
Or a chance to be sent to Dwayne Island (pretty sure this has been suggested before).
2. TrailersPlace: Trailers
Description: Some of the trailers should have different interiors such as this one (Cesar's trailer). Having one interior for all the trailers is just a bit to boring. Or just change all the trailer to have this new one? A refresh for these trailers would be nice since there are too many around the map.
3. Warehouse RobberiesPlace: Warehouses
Description: We have many warehouses around the map. Why not have an enterable interior and put a safe there and rob it? If they have an interior, there should be 2 exists if the interior is big.
With an icon on the map of course.
Some of the warehouses are already available and have their own interior like the one from LS, Ocean Docks.
NPCs around the warehouses would be nice again. Maybe them trying to unload something from trucks or whatever.
4. Driving, Bike and Boat School safes/instructorsPlace: SF and LV
Description: Being able to rob the 'instructors' of all these 3 schools doesn't sound like a good idea in my opinion
. Safes there are well welcomed too.
5. More houses and house interiorsPlace: Houses
Description: Title pretty much says it all.
6. More NPCs aroundPlace: Houses
Description: Adding more NPCs (location based) around the map would make the map itself to feel more 'alive'.
7. Hotels/motelsPlace: San Andreas
Description: This is a big idea/implementation but since San Andreas has lots of Hotels/Motels etc. it'd be great if players could 'rent' rooms and pay daily for it where they can quit the game and when they return to the server, they'll get respawned there (depending on the active city) and also where criminals can lose their wanted level. There should be a limit of 'rentable' rooms.
I can post more screens with locations (again, there's plenty of them!)
Some interior ideas:
Truth's motel interior from the mission "Body Harvest":
Other:
All of these locations and ideas are only fictive and it's what I have in mind and they can be for sure 'adjusted' or improved accordingly. I am happy to receive any kind of feedback and improvements. More locations/suggestions are for sure welcomed.
Thank you for reading this.
