According to this new system if you dm Karbz and got no response then you must DM Mike and then Mike will make the managers do their job

Surprisingly, the reported staff member has been dismissed today.

I can attest to this. I've had 2 staff complaints pending since February, and I've got no response yet. Idk what's going on here. I sent a DM to Karbz on Discord a few weeks ago, but he ignores me.

Suggestions and Ideas / Re: should remove the option to recall the car when it is used by anyone

« on: March 03, 2024, 11:10:43 pm »

I'm confused by the scrambled English, but I'm all for it if your suggestion is in the title. Would be nice if someone tried to /rpv, but the owner would get a message similar to this one: "Mechanic cannot currently return your car to the garage." +1

Denied Complaints / Okran (aka HolyLordPhoenix) removed particles

Date & Time of incident (UTC)		27.02.2024
Details		Someone admitted to me that HolyLordPhoenix might've removed the smoke particles from his game, which isn't allowed, according to the rules (https://mikescnr.com/forum/index.php/topic,20.0.html). Yes, it's allowed to remove the clouds for performance, but it's not stated you can remove any other particles from the game. Some admin had told my whistleblower that removing effects such as smoke and fog isn't allowed. At 0:05 in HolyLordPhoenix's video you cannot see any smoke although I deployed a /smokescreen. You can see me doing it at 2:14 in my video.

Approved Appeals / Re: GerZ's infraction appeal

« on: February 27, 2024, 06:47:44 pm »

When this whole situation happened, I didn't actually notice him shooting you. I just wanted to rob you and wanted Gerz to rob you too  (nothing personal btw, as usual). Then the Red_Bul guy, who we had robbed previously, landed his helicopter on the rooftop to feed us with lead in revenge. As we drove further, we moved over the curve and a bit behind the building to ensure either you and Red_Bul wouldn't damage my car.

I understand that Gerz shouldn't have probably shot you in the heat of the moment in front of Ammunation, he probably expected you to jump out of your police helicopter to shoot us. When we stopped over the curved part of road, we thought for a moment that you would start shooting us too, that's why Gerz made a few warning shots, as we weren't sure why you stepped out of your helicopter so suddenly, instead of flying away.

I admit that I don't remember everything in details. I think warning without infractions would've been nicer, although I admit it must have been annoying to lose a bit of armor points that you had recently bought. I also think that people get away with far worse offenses than this one.

Then why the /door command exists in the first place? For decoration? What about other commands used while fighting/chasing like /oil /ammo /rpv, they also give advantage, right? And I use them more frequently than /door, so which one am i abusing more in the end? People have been using AHK since the dawn of SAMP, as I said. As they say, one man's abuse is another man's good conduct. What rule exactly did I break? No need for arbitrary reasoning, show me from this article: https://mikescnr.com/forum/index.php/topic,20.0.html

At 0:26 I just press RMB or WASD to prevent your character from closing the door (tested). Besides, what are you talking about when you mention Shift? What is Shift function? I'm using Shift for jumping and Space for running, FYI. If I had pressed the Shift key, my character would've jumped. As regard 0:37, I'm entering/leaving the car without pressing/holding either Shift or Space or both. I'm just playing the way Rockstar meant the game to be played. Test it with other players, not alone.

Conclusion: you are trying to deliberately attempt to conceal the unpleasant and incriminating fact that you jailed me for no reason, and then banned me for whatever you saw while spectating me.

I'm not sure how related this is, but maybe contact Mike about why the cars I summon spawn without doors sometimes. Maybe it has something to do with it, and when you spectate, you see the doors, but they are not there (when outside of spectating mode), and I wonder if it could be vice versa, maybe the spectating mode is the culprit.

Rejected Suggestions / Add a rule explicitly allowing the use of keybinders

« on: February 27, 2024, 12:44:03 am »

This is a dangerous moment where MCnR may change forever, and my message serves as a cautionary tale to anyone playing on a server with keybinders or not. As some of you may know, I’ve recently been harassed by one of MCnR’s staff members. Among other things, I’ve been repeatedly told by that stuff member not to use one of the commands that allows to open the recently operated vehicle’s doors using the */door* command, although, currently, the rules don't say anything against the use of keybinding software (https://mikescnr.com/forum/index.php/topic,20.0.html). The person reasoned that the command gives an advantage, and today I got jailed for no reason and then banned by this person. In between the two events, I tried to ask the person about what makes a command advantageous and what they saw when spectating me before jailing me, but I was told not to waste their time asking these, apparently for them, stupid questions.

I believe the rules should explicitly say that the use of AHK or any other keybinding software is allowed, because, until this rule isn’t added, people are going to be arbitrarily punished by moderators/admins, who have certain grudges against a particular player, because the person used a certain command deemed advantageous in the salt moderator's/admin's imaginary vision of what commands are advantageous and what are not.

Until this ambiguity is eliminated, with the current state of the rules, particular individuals, once they reach the moderator/admin status, can punish anyone who they don't like by suspecting them of using keybinding software. Imagine it happens to a new but experienced SAMP player, who joins MCnR and starts to use AHK, then gets screwed over for whatever command they used? What if it’s already happened multiple times already and we’ve just not heard of the stories of the people banned, who just felt unbothered to make a ban appeal and moved on to another server, with more adequate rules? What if YOU are to be punished next?

If all keybinders are suddenly forbidden, the certain admins/moderators will arbitrarily enforce the rule on whoever they don’t like for personal reasons, because, apparently, it’s not easy to spot a person using a keybinder. It’s been allowed, although not explicitly, to use software such as AHK for years on MCnR, and on other servers it’s been openly welcomed (especially on RP ones) almost since the release of SAMP. Once the new rule, that allows the use of keybinders, is added, it will put an end to any ambiguity and unfair treatment from the staff. The staff will also have more time to deal with real rulebreakers.

Firstly, using keybinders is not forbidden if you read through /rules in the server or visit this webpage: https://mikescnr.com/forum/index.php/topic,20.0.html

Secondly, you can clearly see that the door is open on my screen at 0:26 in my video, and I didn't close it because I immediately reached for the gun. I didn't even use /door command in this particular instance, and if you actually cared, you would've gone through my command logs and noticed I didn't use this command, although it's allowed to use it. I've been using a lot of commands with my keybinder, and I'm unsure why you are picking specifically on the use of the /door one when there are other commands that a lot of people use to their advantage (like simple /ammo /rpv /pv, etc.). Saying that you can't use AutoHotkey in 2024 for SAMP is like telling not to use Internet because it gives advantage over people who use physical books.

As per why my doors appear shut, I have no idea. All I can suggest is try different GTA SA build; check your ploss; internet speed; ping; ask others to spectate me and spectate simultaneously, then check both replays and see the differences if any or smth, because leaving the doors open without shutting them when you reach for the gun (or whatever) is a basic GTA SA mechanic, and it absolutely doesn't matter what version of GTA SA you use. It works on vanilla, completely unmodded GTA SA too. Besides, what's unrealistic about the fact the door can be open and you go do something else? What am I being prosecuted for? For using the basic GTA SA mechanic that a lot of people use?

I barely recall this situation. If anything, it happened before we actually came with the pimping concept. Also, i'm pretty sure we wouldn't do you harm unless you tried to rob us or anything like that.

Barely recall?  you must've scammed tons of people at this point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON'T TRUST HER POST!

@Eriis and @Sofia_Turner lured me to their Burrito, then we headed (pun intended) to the infamous 1 State Road mansion in Mulholland. There we went to the bedroom, and, as I was getting dewy, they demanded I pay $10k each! I didn't expect such chutzpah as they were courteous at first, but we didn't negotiate the price in the van. They had a pimp in the room too, I don't remember his name though. I paid the girls $5k each to appease them, as they were a little on edge. The pimp asked if I had paid, but then some cop entered the room (I was MW), I deployed a smoke screen, and then he got clapped. I thought it wasn't a moment to waste and dipped out of the house. I used a grenade stunt to get on top of the house and tried to lure them to come out to blow them, but they stayed inside until it was time "to go to another city".

Rejected Suggestions / Stop supply drops disappearing nearby

« on: February 17, 2024, 10:52:42 am »

If possible, could you add a condition to the script where a supply drop isn't considered lost when a person is within 100-300 metres from it? Occasionally, it happens to me that the supply drop disappears next to me if I camp for a long time for example, or if I've been chased away from cops, and when I come back to retrieve my supply drop, it disappears right in front of me, lol.

Under Consideration / Add an indicator if the car is locked

« on: February 17, 2024, 08:55:05 am »

When you are already in a car, it would be nice to have a small indicator at the bottom left/right, such as a small green circle which means the car is unlocked. This circle is replaced with the red one once the car is locked. Make it visible for passengers too. Don't make the circles big.

I feel it's necessary because you may not always be sure if you are driving with the doors locked or not, especially when you want to quickly rob someone, which makes the people easily jack you out of the car. When you want to pick someone up, you have to type /lk twice sometimes if you are unsure if the car is locked or not which isn't ideal, considering the annoying "Please wait before sending another command" msg sometimes.
