Progression and rewards

Introduction
As you play Mike's Cops and Robbers, you will not only earn cash, but also score points. As you score points you will level up and unlock new items.

Earning score
Score gained is shown on the right-hand side of the radar:


Earning score will come naturally as you play the game. There are countless ways to gain score on MCNR.

• Get a job and perform job duties
• Scrap and export vehicles
• Collect bounties and hunt down most wanted players
• Complete missions, activities and side-jobs
• Participate in events such as the Decathlon
• Unlock achievements
• Explore San Andreas and find collectables
• and many more...

Levelling up
Once you have a certain amount of score, you will level up and unlock a new item.

Every time you level up, you will unlock either a skin, weapon or vehicle. The more you level up, the better things you'll unlock.

Note that weapons and vehicles found around the map can be used even if not unlocked. Locking only applies to purchasing these items.

To find out what is unlocked at each level, type /unlocks in-game or check out this Google Sheet complete with images: Google Sheet

Earning and spending money

Introduction
Cash is king in San Andreas. You need cash to buy food, weapons, vehicles, properties and more.

Starting out
When playing for the first time, you can start with up to $2100.

• $500 starting cash
• $1,000 for viewing the full introduction tutorial
• $1,000 for registering
• $1,000 audio plugin daily bonus (www.mikescnr.com/audio)

You will soon spend this cash however, and be thinking about how to earn more. A good place to start is by completing missions and side-jobs. These are not restricted by player level so can be a good way to gain income at the start. For more information on missions please see this guide. You might also look at selling vehicles at the scrapyard, getting a job (e.g. a mechanic) or rob your way to wealth.

Robbery
Robbery is 50% of what Cops and Robbers is about, and there's plenty of cash to be made this way.

• Rob players You can rob other players by pressing Y while looking at them and selecting 'Rob' from the player interaction menu.
• Rob stores: You can rob any store by aiming a gun at the cashier.
• Rob banks: You can rob a bank like a store by aiming at the bank tellers or head down into the vault for a bigger take.
• Steal and sell vehicles: Most vehicles you find on the streets can be scrapped or exported for cash. You will be notified if this is the case. See /scrap and /export for more information.
• Phone missions: Select 'Request job' at any payphone to call 'the contact' and they will assign you a mission such as stealing a car or taking out a target.

Legitimate income
If robbery is just too immoral for you, there are plenty of legitimate risk-free ways of earning some cash.

• Get a job: Getting a job is one of the best ways to earn money. See this guide for more information.
• Missions: There are various different missions which can be completed for cash, such as street sweeper and crop dusting. See this this guide for more information.
• Collectables: There are over 250 hidden collectables all over San Andreas. See /hp (hidden packages) in-game for more information and to purchase hints.
• Achievements: Check out /achievements in-game for a list of achievements to be completed for cash and score.

Banking
Holding lots of cash on your person makes you more vulnerable to being robbed. Bank your cash at any bank to secure it and keep it safe from robbers.

• ATMs
  ATMs can be found all over San Andreas and provide accessibility to your bank account. You must first set up a 4-digit security PIN at a bank branch. Bear in mind that banks are closed at night so ATMs will need to be used.

Interest, tax and welfare

• Bank interest
  Once you have some money in your bank account, you will start to accrue interest on it. Interest is paid once a week (148 minutes) and is currently 0.25%.
• Wealth tax
  Once you have a high amount of cash in your bank account, you will start to be charged wealth tax. Wealth tax is currently set at 0.5% and is taken every game week (148 minutes).
• Welfare
  If you have less than $1000 in both on-hand cash and banked cash, you will receive welfare every game week (148 minutes). Welfare is currently $500 and given to players with a total worth of less than $1000.

Spending
I'm sure you won't have a problem finding things to spend your money on, however there are some essentials.

• Weapons: Buy weapons to build your arsenal and defend yourself.
• Vehicles: Buy vehicles to help you get around and to show off.
• Garages Buy a garage to store your personal vehicles.
• Properties: Purchase properties to gain access to vehicle storage, a safe for weapon/ammo storage and invite friends over for fun.

Guides / Vehicles & Dealerships

Vehicles & Dealerships

Introduction
Owning your own personal vehicle is a progression milestone in Mike's Cops and Robbers.

Grand theft auto
Before you have the cash to splat out on that convertible sports car you've always dreamed of, you'll have to resort to good old grand theft auto and steal a car.

Vehicles that appear parked around the map must be broken into to unlock them. This is done by repeatedly tapping ENTER/F until the lock is broken and you can enter. Some vehicles spawn with a chance of being left unlocked (the lower the value of the car, the higher chance of it spawning unlocked). Once you enter a vehicle you have broken into you will have to hotwire it (this is done automatically). When you exit a hotwired vehicle, by default, the engine will stay running (unless you keep holding ENTER/F as you exit the vehicle). If the engine does need re-starting when you enter the vehicle again, you will have to hotwire it again.

Breaking into and entering a stolen vehicle with no witnesses around will not result in a crime being committed, however driving past the cops in a stolen vehicle will identify you to them via automatic number plate recognition and you will become wanted. You can prevent this by changing your number plate at any gas station or via a mechanic.

Vehicle storage
There are two types of garages that can be used to store vehicles in: stand-alone garages and property garages.

Stand-alone garages are found in numerous locations around San Andreas and are represented by the icon.

To store a stolen vehicle in a stand-alone garage, simply drive up to the garage door and press Y to store the vehicle. If a vehicle is already in the garage you will be prompted to transfer (if other storage available) or replace it. Vehicles from other garages can be transferred to other garages by this method also (take a vehicle from garage A, drive it to garage B and press Y to store it there).

Property garages become available to you once you purchase a property. Most properties have a garage and some even have two, but many have no garage. These garages work identically to stand-alone garages in that you simply drive a vehicle up to them and press Y to store it. When you buy a vehicle at a vehicle dealership you will now have the option to use your property garage as a storage location.

Vehicle dealerships locations

Destruction, insurance and impounding
If one of your personal vehicles becomes destroyed, it must be recovered for a fee before using it again. This can be done by retrieving your vehicle from the garage in which it is stored or requesting it via the interaction menu (Press Y). The recovery fee is based on the value of the vehicle and is a flat fee.

If you arrested or die near your vehicle with a wanted level your vehicle will be impounded by the police. You can recover it by visiting any police department reception for a fee.

Fuel
All vehicles with an engine rely on fuel to run. The level of fuel in your vehicle is shown in the bottom-right corner by 10 bars and a percentage display.

When your fuel gets low, you can refuel at any gas station around San Andreas.

There are 22 Gas Stations spread around San Andreas (12 city and 10 countryside)
They are represented on the radar and map by this icon:

Guides / Properties

« on: February 15, 2019, 02:02:22 pm »

Properties

Introduction
Once you have some wealth, you can look into purchasing properties. You can own up to three properties anywhere in San Andreas from the trailer parks of Bone County to suburban houses to the extravagant mansions of the Vinewood Hills. You can choose to own one property in each city or have all three in your favorite city. You will still be able to access your properties that are in the inactive city (e.g. if the active city is Los Santos, you can still access your property in San Fierro).

Properties come with a range of features and benefits and having one will be a milestone in your progression.

Property locations
There are over 1500 properties scattered all around San Andreas in rural, suburban and urban areas. These properties come in different shapes, sizes and prices, ranging from around $20,000 for a small trailer in the country to around $250,000 for a mid-sized urban home to over $1,000,000 for a mansion in the Vinewood Hills.

Buying a property
Properties that are for sale are identified in three ways. The most obvious is the big FOR SALE sign out front. The second is that the house icon at the door will change from blue to green. The door label will also state that the property is for sale and for how much.

It is not currently possible to 'search' for a property for sale, however this functionality is planned for a future update.

To buy a property that is for sale, approach the door and press ENTER or F to enter. You will only be able to do this if you have the funds to purchase and if the owner is online if they have disabled 'offline purchases'. By default you can buy a property even if the owner is offline. Once inside the property take a look around and press Y to purchase. If you do not press Y you will be automatically ejected from the property after a period of time and asked if you would like to purchase the property.

Once a property is purchased you will have access to it, access to the vehicle garage(s) if applicable, and able to purchase a safe to store items. Press H to access the house menu where you can invite players, eject visitors, answer the door, change settings, put the property up for sale, and upgrade your property.

Your property will be visible for you on map/radar and it will have this icon.

Property upgrades
Properties can have various upgrades which you can buy from the house menu (press H).

Safe
Purchase a safe to store cash, weapons and ammo. You can store up to $500k in cash, 5 weapons and 5 different types of ammo (pistol, shotgun, smg, AR and rifle).
Costs: $3,500

Door locks
Upgrading door locks makes it harder for criminals to break into your property.
Costs: $2,500

Alarm system
Upgrading your alarm system will alert the cops to a break-in instantly rather than after a short period of time.
Costs: $2,450

Contents insurance
Purchasing contents insurance will enable items stolen from your property to be recovered through insurance for a much lower cost. The insurance fee must be paid daily.
Costs: $24

Property Name
You will now be able to place a custom property name that everyone will see when they are near your house entrance.
Costs: FREE

Vehicle storage
Most properties have vehicle storage in the form of a garage or two. These work exactly the same as the standalone garages you can purchase around San Andreas. Simply drive a vehicle up to them and press Y to store. When purchasing a vehicle from a dealership, this property will now appear as an option for where to store your vehicle.

You can request personal vehicles to be delivered to you by your mechanic through the interaction menu (hold Y).

Property robbery
You can rob a property regardless of whether the owner is online or not (or even if there is no owner). Items can be stolen and sold for cash.

Firstly, ensure you have a vehicle with a trunk/boot nearby to use for transporting the stolen items. Then, approach the door and press LMB/CTRL to break in. Find something worth stealing in the property such as electrical items, jewelry and also see if there is a safe from which the contents can be stolen. Press CROUCH (C) at items to pick them up. Press LMB to drop them anywhere. Head outside and put the items in your previously acquired vehicle trunk by pressing Y to open the trunk then Y again to store the item.

Once you have enough items (i.e. when the cops turn up) get in the driver's seat and get to the hideout to sell the items for cash. You must arrive at the hideout out of sight of the cops. You will retain your wanted level. All players in the vehicle will get an equal split of the payout for selling the stolen items. The weapons and ammo stolen from the safe go to the driver, who can choose which weapons to replace if they already have weapons in those slots.

- Complete all 4 shooting range rounds for a 6.09% skill points
- If you achieve 100% accuracy, in the end you will be rewarded with 1.00% skill points bonus

You will reach GANGSTER level at 30% skill points, and PROFESSIONAL at 100% skill points. View your weapon skill level in-game using /weaponskills or via the interaction menu -> player stats.

Interaction menu
One of the main ways to interact with the server is via the interaction menu. If you are not a fan of the command-driven style of most servers, fear not, as the interaction menu is your portal to most things on the server without ever having to type commands. This is especially useful if using a controller/joy-pad.

Features include:
- View mission information and end active mission
- Request a personal vehicle
- Change vehicle settings and controls doors, windows, engine and lights
- Utilize job abilities such as calling for a job vehicle
- Request services such as a medic or mechanic
- View stats and achievements
- View your score/level progress and unlockable items
- View other players on the server by job and by distance
- Access to a vast library of animations for your character
- View and quickly accept invitations for events, house invites, taxi fare requests etc.
- Change settings
- Access help and information
- and more...

Also press Y when looking at a player, vehicle or object to interact with them. Not applicable to ALL objects/vehicles, only some such as ATMs (object) and food trucks (vehicle). Available for all players where you can rob, wave, chat, send cash or view info on players.

Archived / BETA launch and future plans

« on: February 09, 2019, 02:15:52 pm »

BETA launch and future plans

After many years of development by myself as a sole developer, Mike's Cops and Robbers is launching as an ongoing BETA with regular updates to add new features and fix any issues that arise. The server is packed with features and activities for all to experience and enjoy and development will be continuous with new features and activities added regularly.

Trailers
http://mikescnr.com/forum/index.php/topic,51.0.html

BETA phase
Launching Mike's Cops and Robbers as an ongoing BETA server is designed to ensure we can identify and fix as many issues as we can with the help of our players. Player feedback is vitally important and valued and reporting issues and submitting suggestions couldn't be easier both in-game and on the forums.

Issues/bug reports
Unfortunately no software is without bugs, and the MCNR script is relatively complex and therefore issues are bound to occur. We strive to identify and fix these as soon as we can, however we need your help! If you spot any sort of issues with the MCNR script, reporting it to us will ensure we are aware of it and can work towards fixing it.

Bugs can be reported in-game using the /bug command, however for more complex issues or reports that would benefit from screenshots or videos to support them, please use the Bug Reports board.

Suggestions
Suggestions from our players are very valuable to us, as our aim is to provide you with the best possible gaming experience. Suggestions of any kind can be posted in the 'Suggestions' section of this forum.

Server overview and features
Don't forget to check out this topic for an overview of the server and features!

Future plans
There are many planned features to be added in the future. These will gradually be implemented in updates to ensure there is always something new to do.

- Inventory system: Players will be able to carry items such as medkits, vehicle repair kits and condoms with an inventory system. Items will be able to be placed into vehicles and property safes, and transferred/sold between players.
- Illegal street racing: A scheduled illegal street race event will occur weekly. Ranking top 3 in this race will yield rewards including cash and score.
- Stadium events: Many stadium-based events are planned, including Sumo, Kickstart, Bloodbowl, Monster Derby, 8-track Racing and Dirtbike racing.
- Other upcoming events include: BASE Jumping, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.
- Many new missions and activities, including: mailman, courier, smuggling, Pizzaboy, Romero body collection, news reporter, lawn mowing, golf caddy, combine harvest, commercial pilot, cargo pilot and many more.
- Drugs system: Players will be able to buy, grow and sell drugs for a profit. Different drugs will have different effects, such as temporary health boosts, temporary increased weapon skill and interesting visual effects.
- Fishing: Players will be able to fish from any shoreline, pier or boat. Fish can be sold to stores for a profit. Other items (including some rare valuable items) may also be able to be found.
- Casino heists: To advance on from the bank robbery, players will be able to rob casinos and other high-value establishments such as hotels in teams to make some high-risk high-payout cash.
- Planes, buses and trams: Currently public transport is limited to trains, however buses (inner and outer city and also between cities), planes (between cities) and trams (around San Fierro) will be added.
- Co-op mission support: Many missions have the potential to be co-cooperatively played by multiple players. This functionality will be implemented in the future just like Securicar.
- More job events: There are currently over 10 different random job events for all jobs. More will keep being added to ensure players always have something to do.
- Property features: Health refill, armor storage, inventory item storage, eating and sleeping.
- Property renting: Players will be able to rent out their property to other players. These players will benefit from some of the things owning a property gains you, such as vehicle storage and a spawn point.
- Arms dealer job: The arms dealer job will be added in the future and allow players to sell guns to other players to make a living.

This list is just the start of what we plan to add in upcoming content updates. More ideas will regularly come to light and make their way into the server, ever evolving it and making it even more fun and interesting. Frequent content updates will ensure there is always new quality features and activities to enjoy.

Thank you for being a part of this community, and we hope to see you on the server soon!

Current focuses:

- Add houses all over San Andreas
- Bank robbery redesign (co-op)
- Mechanic services

I am 100% set on launching the server in 2019. Hopefully the first half of it. Just need to get these handful of core features finished. Before my birthday would be nice (May 28th).

Will try to update this at the end of every month starting next month, reflecting on what I did that past month.

10/07/2018
Update time.

Took a month break at the end of April. Before that I started to work on the event lobby system for the Decathlon. The event lobby system is now finished but the Decathlon is not.

- Development of taxi system progressed nicely, just needs a lot of testing and the ability to split fares for multiple passengers
- Score gain display will now stack
- /settings split into categories
- Many player stats added
- Achievement system added (still adding individual achievements)
- Job paydays added based on job score
- Redesigned mission complete screen with better stats list
- Job rank system now dynamic and can be used for any job
- Made a proper dynamic menu system with item definitions
- Added menus to relevant interiors such as diner
- Replaced GTA menus in fast food places with samp ones
- Fixed issues with intro tutorial camera
- Fixed spawning issues

Current focus is the achievement system and player stats. After that I'm not decided.

03/04/2018
A few months have passed. I feel like I haven't done much..

- The job events for police and paramedics are done.
  - Police: Vehicle chase, vehicle tail, CSI, stolen vehicle moving, stolen vehicle parked, 911 response.
  - Medic: CPR and organ transport.
- Intro tutorial is complete.
- Player stats pretty much done.
- Added Army class.
- Emergency vehicle lights can now be toggled separate from the siren.
- Fixed Mafia Moneybag event not triggering, and now triggers twice a week not once.
- New and returning inactive players are now prompted to reset tutorials.
  - Returning inactive accounts are prompted for a full reset if no password.
- Police rules are now displayed when a player becomes a cop.
- Players with jobs can now call for special vehicles.
- Players now have a chance to randomly spawn inside interiors instead of just outside them (currently just police departments).
- ATMs can now be robbed
- Player vehicle name is now displayed above radar location text, and both have an icon to show which is which.
- Taxi system is nearing completion. Players can go on duty, call for a taxi, select destinations, and complete fares.

At the time of writing, this forum is only accessible to myself. I want to keep a diary for future reference and to track how the progress is going. I feel like this server is more of a personal hobby project than anything with any real purpose anymore. SA-MP is now 14 years old and is getting older with every day that passes. I have no deadline in mind for 'completion', but I want to get the core important features done first and then run the server as a public ongoing beta.


It is now April. I have spent the first 3 month of 2018 mainly focusing on the Job Events. The police and medic ones are done, and I now need to do the Mechanic and Firefighter ones.

Some updates:
- There is now a map shown in the corner during spawn selection which shows the location of the spawn point and also shows where players are around the map.
- The Taxi system is coming along. Destinations can now be chosen and fares can be completed. Just needs finishing and polishing.
- The introduction tutorial is now complete.
- ATMs can now be robbed
- Hospital has a proper menu and allows you to heal/cure there
- Player stats pretty much complete (only need to add crimes and weapon stats)

The main things I'm currently working on:
- Job events
- Taxi system
- Job roles (e.g. Mechanic)

18/01/2018
A new type of event has been added called Job Events. These events happen twice daily (once before noon and once after). Players are given job events such as cops having to tail an NPC or mechanics having to tow a broken down vehicle to a modshop.

17/01/2018

Information / Server Rules & Infraction System

« on: July 27, 2018, 11:24:12 am »

Server rules

As a game server, we want our players to have fun playing the game. To ensure this, we have rules in place which we will always enforce.

The following rules must be followed at all times.
Failure to follow server rules will result in infractions and/or bans being issued, details of which may be found below.

Server Rules

Do not spam or flood chat or features
Spamming/flooding is defined as sending chat messages and/or commands (such as bribe invites) rapidly, repeatedly or unnecessarily. This is disruptive to other players and is not allowed.
The server employs an anti-spam feature which limits players to sending two messages or commands in rapid succession before initiating a small cooldown period until another message or command can be sent.

Players spamming chat messages or commands will be muted, infracted, kicked and potentially banned.

Do not troll, flame, insult, disrespect, harass, defame, impersonate or discriminate other players
Any form of hostility towards other players is outright untolerated. This is a game and should be enjoyable. Note that we take cyber bullying seriously and any cases of bullying will be dealt with accordingly.

Players being hostile or abusive towards other players or staff will be muted, infracted, kicked and/or banned.

Do not use any hacking or cheating programs in any circumstances
Cheating or hacking programs are not allowed in any form. This includes mods (and CLEO mods) which affect other players such as changing running speed animations.

Cheaters will be banned from the server.

Do not use gameplay-affecting modifications
Game modifications are allowed to a certain extent, however any modification which alters what another player experiences is outright disallowed. For example lowering the suspension on a vehicle is not allowed as other players will see the original vehicle model and it will be clipping into the ground.

Do not deathmatch or kill players without reason
While killing is part of GTA, we do not set out to be a deathmatch server and killing other players for no reason is not tolerated.

Valid reasons to kill:
- Self-defence (they are shooting at you)
- You are a cop and they are a most wanted suspect (red).
- You are a cop and they are posing a fatal threat to others (e.g. a yellow player is shooting at other players or aiming at them - you may take them down to preserve life)
- You are a medic/firefighter and are attacked (self-defense is allowed)
- Someone attacked you
- Someone robbed you
- Someone is following/harassing/stalking you
- There may be other reasons - this is just a rough guide

NOT valid reasons to kill:
- They insulted me in chat
- I don't like their name
- I'm bored
- It's fun
- I like deathmatching
- I like killing cops (when you have not committed any crimes)
- Do not teamkill (cop-killing cop) unless in self-defense
- There may be other reasons - this is just a rough guide

Cop Hunting Rule:
killing a cop is not allowed, even if you are most wanted, unless that cop is chasing or attacking you. If a cop is RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU, you should not be attacking them Unless they recently attacked you.
- You may kill them if they oppose a threat to you (kill, arrest, chase /etc)
- You may kill them if they are a group and one of them is attacking you
- You may kill them if they get very close to you
- You may kill them if they camp outside the bank or your house

Deathmatching players can be frozen, jailed, disarmed, have damage disabled, receive infractions, be kicked or even be banned temporarily.

Do not exploit bugs or glitches, either in GTA, SA-MP or this server
Sometimes bugs occur which can give you an advantage over other players. Knowingly exploiting these is not allowed and players will have their illegitimate cash/score removed and received an infraction.

Do not share knowledge of exploitable bugs or glitches. Report them to the relevant parties (SA-MP or server developers).

Do not attempt to avoid situations (e.g. death/arrest) by quitting
Quitting/crashing/screenshotting to avoid situations such as death or arrest is not allowed. For example, do not quit the game while falling from the sky to avoid death or quit just as you're about to be arrested by a cop. We have systems in place to detect this type of cheating and will deduct player cash and score in response.

Players that repeatedly break this rule will receive infractions and may be banned from the server.

Avoid illegal and/or controversial conversation
Do not discuss illegal subjects such as drugs and piracy. Do not engage in heated debates relating to sensitive subjects such as politics and religion.
Discussion of illegal content is prohibited and players will be muted, infracted, kicked or banned.


Breaking these rules will result in appropriate punishment, including jail time or bans from the server.

Punishment is at each admin's discretion based on the severity and reoccurrence of incidents.

If you witness a player breaking any of these rules, please report them using /report.

Let's keep the game fun.


Infraction System
Instead of simply kicking or banning players, we use an infraction system. Accumulate enough points and you will be punished. Here's how it works:

A member of staff can issue you a number of infraction points, based on your offence. Points will expire 6 months from their date of issue.

When a player has accumulated 10 points, they will be banned. Each time this happens, the ban will be for a longer duration.

Offence	Ban Duration
1	1 week
2	1 month
3	3 months
4	6 months
5	1 year
6	Permanent

If you feel you have been infracted wrongly, you can appeal to have the points removed on the forums.

OFFENCES - Here is a list of all the infractions and the maximum points that can be given for said offence, in order of maximum points:

Offence	Description	Maximum Points
Cheating/modding	Using cheating/hacking tools gives players an unfair advantage. This includes airbreak, invulnerability, aimbots etc	10
Spamming/flooding	Sending lots of text in the chat is annoying to other players.	2
Advertising	Advertising other servers, forums, YouTube channels etc. is not allowed.	3
Harassment/flaming	Harassing, flaming, attacking or otherwise being offensive to other players.	5
Discrimination	Discrimination of any kind is forbidden.	5
Annoying/disruptive behaviour	Players are just trying to enjoy the game. Annoying them for no reason will be punished.	2
Ban Evasion	Ban evading will result in a permanent ban from the server.	N/A

The number of points given for an infraction lies with the discretion of the admin. They can give you the maximum number of points for that offence or not. Multiple infractions can also be given for a single incident, for example if you spam a message a lot and the message is racially offensive, you will receive two separate infractions; one for the spam and one for the racially offensive remarks. It is the admin's discretion on whether to give you the maximum number of points for both offences.

There are a range of other punishments staff can also use, such as killing, jailing, freezing or muting you. These punishments are separate from the infraction system, however infractions are generally given along with these punishments.

Game Modifications
Certain modifications can cause you to (sometimes unintentionally) have an unfair advantage over other players. For example, if you have a vehicle mod that changes the collision (the 'solid' mesh that surrounds the object to detect collision (e.g. a bullet hitting the car or two vehicles colliding) - basically change the shape) this can cause a major advantage as players may shoot your vehicle but miss because of the different appearances of your vehicles on each client.

Texture modifications are fine as long as it's not something ridiculous like making stuff transparent. For example removing clouds is fine if your computer's performance is an issue.
Sound modifications are 100% fine.
CLEO mods are generally not allowed. If they give you an advantage - they aren't allowed. A mod which makes you fly like superman isn't allowed.
Animation mods are not allowed as they will affect the game's sync.
Editing your vehicle handling is NOT allowed.

DISCRIMINATION
Do not discriminate on:

Gender
Race
Sexual Orientation (Straight/Gay/Bi/Trans)
Religion
Language
etc.

Summary
In summary, please follow the rules at all times and the game will be more fun.

Server overview and features

Introduction
Mike's Cops and Robbers aims to recreate the classic GTA experience of cops chasing criminals into a multiplayer environment. While it is by far not the first to do this, there are many things which make MCNR a great server to play on and you are guaranteed to have fun.

A little bit of history
Mike's Cops and Robbers has been in development for almost a decade. It started off as a small project as mine to practise and improve my coding abilities, however grew into a more serious project that I wanted to finish. Development has always been very slow as I am the sole developer and don't have as much time as I would like to spend developing. The project was shelved twice with long months and even years with no development. Slowly but surely I kept at it and have finally reached the stage where I can share my project with others.

Feature Showcase

10 reasons to play SA-MP and MCNR over GTA Online
GTA Online is without a doubt a great game. MCNR is similar to GTA Online in many ways, however we feel the following reasons make SA-MP and MCNR just as much fun if not more:

• Less grinding, more fun
• More solo ways to play and earn cash
• Relive the nostalgia of GTA: San Andreas
• Cheaper to buy, free to play
• Lower computer requirements
• Good anti-cheat and admins actively monitor the server
• Bans can be appealed
• Better community
• Developers listen to feedback
• No loading screens

Also remember that playing the role of a cop has never been possible in GTA single player games or GTA online.
New Players
New players are first introduced to the world of San Andreas, its three cities and what they have to offer. An introduction tutorial is shown at the start of the game which will cover all the main features of the server and how they work. It is highly advisable that players watch this, however it can be skipped.
Account Registration
Account registration is not compulsory, and player account information will be saved whether they are registered with a password or not, provider they join again using the same name. However, not registering an account with a password means anyone can play on your account. You can register your name in-game by typing /register.
Score and XP
Players have score and a level, and also job ranks. Player score is gained through various means, for example finding a hidden collectable, killing a player with a bounty or winning a race. Essentially playing the game will allow you to gain points. After you earn so many points, your level will increase, and you will unlock new skins, vehicles, weapons and more.

XP is given in certain jobs when job duties are performed (e.g. a cop arresting someone or a medic reviving someone). Ranking up gives access to more features and lowers restrictions. For example, cops can place more roadblock objects and medics have a higher chance of successfully reviving victim.
Jobs

Police / Law Enforcement
The most important role for a player to undertake in this server is that of an officer of the law. San Andreas is riddled with problems from gang crime and petty theft to organised mafia gangs and major casino heists. It is up to the San Andreas police forces to protect and serve its citizens by bringing the criminals to justice.

You can become a police officer by visiting any police department reception as long as your player level is 10 or higher.

Paramedic
Paramedics are the lifeline for the residents of San Andreas. There's never a shortage of gunshots wounds and a broken bones, so you'd better stock up on medical supplies!

You can become a paramedic at any hospital providing your player level is 5 or higher.

Firefighter
With all the chaos that ensues in San Andreas, someone's got to douse the flames. Put your fire extinguisher to use and stop the flames spreading around the city faster than herpes as a firefighter.

You can become a firefighter at any fire station providing your player level is 5 or higher.

Mechanic
Vehicle crime is at an all time high in San Andreas, and nobody realises this more than those poor mechanics. How many vehicles did you trash on the way to the store, seven? Someone's got to fix them.

You can become a mechanic at any gas station or garage providing your player level is 5 or higher.

Prostitute
When the cops and criminals wind down for the night, someone needs to take care of their needs, why not you? Become a lady of the night at any sex shop and spread those STDs all over the state.

Taxi Driver
What better way for an upstanding citizen of San Andreas to make some steady cash than by taking in the scenery and meeting the wonderful people of San Andreas? Become a Taxi Driver by entering any Taxi and you can find out how it feels to spend all day sat 3 feet away from last night's drunken throw-up still festering on the back seats. Or better yet, meet some real weirdos that'll make you really rethink your life choices and go rob a bank instead.
Crime, Arrests and Jail
Criminality is the core of this server and GTA itself, and while some may choose the quiet life of earning legitimate cash through legal means, others want to take shortcuts and get it all now. From pickpocketing to bank robberies, bounty hunting and drug smuggling, and all the chaos in between, there are plenty of opportunities for criminals to get rich quick.

A player's wanted level is shown as 6 stars at the top of the screen. The more stars that are highlighted, the more trouble you're in and the more force the cops can use against you. These are also coloured to represent three levels of wanted level: level 1 will result in a ticket (yellow), levels 2 through 5 an arrest (orange), and at level 6 (red) the cops are authorised to use lethal force to bring you in by any means necessary. Oh and if you're most wanted, you'd better watch your back, because the bounty hunters of San Andreas will also have you in their sights.
Vehicles and properties
Properties have two purposes in San Andreas. The first is practicality; you can sleep there, eat there and store your guns, cash, drugs and other items there. Then there's the ability to show off.
Achievements
Everyone needs a trophy cabinet, and why not fill it with the bodies of your fellow San Andreans? There are many achievements that can be unlocked through playing the game which will reward you with cash and score.
Player Donations
Our server is entirely reliant on player donations to keep running. If we do not receive enough donations, we will be unable to pay for server/website costs. Player donations are extremely important to us, and because of this, donating players will receive appreciation bonuses in-game. For more information on that and how to donate, please see the topic on donations in this board.

Information / Forum Rules and Guidelines

« on: April 19, 2015, 04:33:44 am »

Forum Rules

To keep the MCNR community a friendly and welcoming place, we need everyone to behave nice and be friendly.

To this effect, please find the forum rules detailed below.

No illegal content
Absolutely NO illegal content is to be posted on this forum. This includes illegal torrents, warez, cracks, viruses/malware etc.

No adult content
Pornography (of any kind) or links to any other websites which host/link to such content is strictly forbidden.

It is also forbidden to post images, or have avatars/signatures, that contain sexually, sexually suggestive, or adult/inappropriate content within them. This includes text with sexual themes or suggestive wording.


Also, let’s refrain from discussions of a sexual or suggestively sexual nature. We don’t want to hear about how much you love tits or how many women you’ve (not) slept with. While the Prostitute feature in the server is close to overly-sexual it is a fundamental part of GTA and therefore is an exception.

No controversial or provocative content
Do not post controversial or provocative content. This includes posts about religion, politics and the such. If you want to discuss those things, please do it elsewhere as it's just going to cause problems.

No discrimination, harassment, abuse or hate speech
We have a zero tolerance policy on any type of discrimination, including racism, sexism and homophobia. Please take it elsewhere.

Harassing other players or staff creates a hostile environment, which isn't a happy place. Do not harass players/staff. Abuse and 'hate speech' are included in this rule.

English only
While we do not discriminate between those who speak English and those who do not, this forum is largely English. If many foreign players start posting on the forums, a language-specific board may be created for them, if requested.

Avatar and signature rules
- No distracting GIFs: Moving/flashing GIFs are extremely annoying when trying to read forum posts. They are not to be used in signatures or as avatars unless the animation is very minor and will not distract someone when reading your post. Use my avatar as an example. It has minor movement which is not distracting from the rest of the page. Anything more is disallowed. Staff discretion.
- Signatures can only be 350 pixels high. Anything more will add a scrollbar. Try to avoid this. Unfortunately [img] tags' width= and height= attributes are broken, so please resize your images (use paint, Google how...).

Be kind
Put simply, treat other people how you would want to be treated. Don’t cause trouble, insult people, cause drama and so on. We want this community to be welcoming.

Do not post in complaint/appeal topics unless you are contributing
If you do not have something relevant to add to a discussion, or in the case of player complaints, you were NOT directly involved or a witness, please do not reply.


Thank you for reading, and please ensure you follow all these rules AT ALL TIMES to give everyone a better experience. Thanks.

Moderator Recruitment

To ensure the server runs as smoothly as possible, we need a strong team of reliable, trustworthy, competent, friendly and helpful moderators and admins. The reputation of the server lies partly with the staff that run it and therefore we are going to be very strict as to the players we allow to be staff on the server.

Requirements
In order to even apply for a staff position, you MUST meet all of the following requirements:


Exemptions: A couple of the requirements are more guidelines than strict requirements, speak to management for the possibility of an exemption from certain requirements.

Moderator applications must be submitted through Google Forms:
https://goo.gl/forms/CcoevXUNZh1oBdWR2

Do not ask about the status of your application
If your application is rejected we probably won’t be in touch to let you know this. We get a lot of applications, and replying to each individual one is not feasible. In addition to this, sometimes we don't explicitly 'reject' or 'accept' an application, but rather archive it to be considered later. Even applications from months before can be reconsidered if the player becomes more active for example. Pestering management (especially myself) about applications is a sure-fire way to get it automatically rejected.

If your application is accepted, you will start a week of supervised probation (every action monitored and scrutinised) and then a further 3 weeks of unsupervised probation (any incidents will result in instant dismissal).

You will start off as a server moderator. Moderators are not full-rank administrators and have restricted powers. Their role is to monitor the server and its players and warn/kick players, however, punishments such as long-term banning are restricted to admins and management. Moderators should report serious offenders to higher ranking staff for them to deal with. Moderators also play an important role in assisting new players with any queries or issues they may have.

Going forwards, moderators with at least 3 months of experience may be promoted to become part of the admin team. Admins are similar to moderators in that their role is to monitor and protect the server from misbehaving players, however, they have more power than moderators as they can long-term ban players from the server. They are also responsible for training and monitoring moderators and beta testers.

The management team help review admin applications and help to run the server in conjunction with the owners/operators.


We are also hiring testers, please see below for details.

Ban and Infraction Appeals / Appeal guidelines - READ BEFORE POSTING OR APPEALS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DENIED

« on: April 16, 2015, 05:52:00 pm »

Ban/infraction appeal guidelines

Please read this entire guide CAREFULLY before posting a ban appeal. Failure to follow these guidelines will simply result in appeals being denied.

You may only appeal a ban or infraction if they were wrongfully or unfairly issued.
Please do not submit an appeal if you are guilty but you are 'sorry'. Valid bans and infractions are final and will not be lifted.
If you feel a ban/infraction is too harsh for the offense(s) you may appeal for your ban/infraction to be reduced.

Ban appeals can be accepted by the member of staff that issued the ban/infraction.
Otherwise, ban and infraction appeals will be reviewed by a member of staff that is at least one rank higher than the member of staff that issued the ban/infraction.

Here's a flow chart to make things (hopefully) simple:

NOTE: If you see a message in the SA-MP chat stating 'You are banned from this server.' and nothing else on-screen, this is a bug and you should attempt to reconnect. Server ban information will be displayed center-screen in a dialog box.

To submit an appeal, you must supply the following information:
- Relevant topic title - not just ‘My ban appeal’. Summarise. E.g ‘Banned by anticheat for code 69’.
- In-game name
- Explanation: Why were you banned/infracted? What happened? Why are you innocent?
- Evidence: Provide evidence where possible/applicable that you are innocent.
- Ban/infraction message: Show the message that shows your ban or infraction details.

Relevant title
Please use a relevant title for your topic, not ‘My appeal’ or 'UNBAN ME PLZZZ'. Include your name and/or what happened. This will not affect your appeal outcome, however it is desirable that you do this.

Examples of relevant titles:
- Banned by anticheat for code 6
- Banned by admin for cheating
- Banned for ban evasion
- Infracted for RDM

Explanation
Your plea should explain what happened and why you think the ban or infraction was unfair. Once again, you CANNOT appeal a ban that was fairly issued and you are guilty. You can only appeal a ban if it was wrongly-issued and you are innocent. Apologising will NOT get you unbanned any earlier. Evading the ban will result in an indefinite ban.

Evidence
If evidence would help your case, please include it. For example, images of an admin banning you after you told them to 'shut up' or something that didn't warrant a ban. The admin that banned you may be asked internally to provide evidence of your rule breaking however this does not always get made public.

Posting a screenshot of your GTA folder is NOT proof of anything. Anyone can edit the contents of a folder..

To help you out please copy this entire form and then replace YOUR_TEXT_HERE with your text. Do not alter any other part of the form - replace YOUR_TEXT_HERE with your text only.

Code: [Select]

[table]
[tr][td]Ban ID (if applicable)[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Your in-game name[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Ban or infraction appeal?[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Date and time of ban/infraction including timezone[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Ban/infraction reason and details[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Why was this ban/infraction wrongfully issued?[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]What was the situation which lead to this wrongful ban/infraction? What was happening?[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Any witnesses that can vouch for you?[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]Any more information to provide?[/td][td]YOUR_TEXT_HERE[/td][/tr]
[/table]

Please post the ban message as a screenshot in an attachment.

An incomplete or inaccurate form will lead to automatic denial of your appeal.


We keep detailed logs of most actions on the server, and we know the date and time of your ban or infraction. We will use this information to further investigate the circumstances leading up to your ban or infraction  to determine whether it was legitimate or not.

Please only post ONE appeal, and do not bump it. We review every appeal, but may not reply until a decision is made. We aim to reply within 24 to 48 hours of an appeal being posted. Do not harass staff after posting an appeal unless it has been 48 hours without a response. See the above flowchart for who to contact and when.

In some instances we may reduce the length of your ban rather than lifting it or reduce the number of infraction points given. This is left to the discretion of staff.

Anyone caught evading a ban will be permanently banned with no right to appeal.

Do not reply to other player's unban appeal unless you have any useful information to add to the topic.

Suggestions and Ideas / SUGGESTION GUIDELINES - READ BEFORE POSTING TO AVOID AUTOMATIC REJECTION

« on: April 16, 2015, 02:50:31 pm »

Suggestions Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in submitting a suggestion. We highly value all player feedback and strive to make the server better with every update.

Before submitting a suggestion, please take a look at the points below to ensure your suggestion will not be rejected.

Check Existing Features/Suggestions
Make sure you use the forum search function to check if your suggestion has already been submitted by someone else.
Also, it may seem quite obvious to most, but please ensure features aren't already implemented on the server before suggesting them.

Planned Features
There are many planned features to be added in the future. These will gradually be implemented in updates to ensure there is always something new to do. Please do not post suggestions for things already planned to be added.

- Illegal street racing: A scheduled illegal street race event will occur weekly. Ranking top 3 in this race will yield rewards including cash and score.
- Stadium events: Many stadium-based events are planned, including Sumo, Kickstart, Bloodbowl, Monster Derby, 8-track Racing and Dirtbike racing.
- Other upcoming events include: BASE Jumping, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch.
- Many new missions and activities, including: News reporter (Journalist), lawn mowing, golf caddy, combine harvest, commercial pilot, cargo pilot and many more.
- Casino heists: To advance on from the bank robbery, players will be able to rob casinos and other high-value establishments such as hotels in teams to make some high-risk high-payout cash.
- Planes, buses and trams: Currently public transport is limited to trains, however buses (inner and outer city and also between cities), planes (between cities) and trams (around San Fierro) will be added one day.
- Co-op mission support: Many missions have the potential to be co-cooperatively played by multiple players. This functionality will be implemented in the future just like Securicar, for example for Trashmaster.
- More job events: There are currently over 10 different random job events for all jobs. More will keep being added to ensure players always have something to do.
- Property features: Health refill, armor storage, inventory item storage, wardrobe for changing clothes/skin, eating and sleeping.
- Property renting: Players will be able to rent out their property to other players. These players will benefit from some of the things owning a property gains you, such as vehicle storage and a spawn point.
- Arms dealer: An arms dealer role will be added in the future and allow players to sell wholesale guns to other players.

Be Clear and Concise
Please ensure we can easily understand your suggestion and how it would function. If we have to have ask you to clarify things or elaborate on ideas then it takes more time.
Also, keep your suggestion short. It's got more chance of being reviewed in depth if it's not 1000 words long. Get to the point, summarise, don't go overboard on detail unless it's relevant.

One Suggestion Per Topic
Please only suggest one thing in a topic. If there are two closely-related suggestions (e.g. add a crowbar and add a rack in garages to hang it and other things up) then they could be in the same suggestion as they are part of the same feature set. But don't suggest two completely unrelated things in a single topic, as it makes it impossible to categorise.

Re-posting and Spam
Don't post suggestions that have been rejected before. Use the forum search function to search for your suggestion before posting. If a suggestion was already rejected, it was for a reason. Posting the suggestion again isn't going to magically result in it not being rejected again.

If a suggestion has been accepted but not yet implemented, please don't suggest it again. We are either discussing its implementation or working on implementing it. While we may give a projected release version/date for suggestions, these are heavily subject to change and aren't guaranteed.

NOTE: Approved suggestion s are subject to change or reversal. They are not final decisions.

Commonly rejected suggestions
The following suggestions are commonly suggested but will never be implemented:
- Anything overly sexual or violent. The game is rated 18 but we all know there's 12 year olds playing this game (or probably younger).
- Anything nasty/vulgar (e.g. rape).
- Overly RP features. This is not an RP server.
- Anything which encourages DMing or other rule-breaking.
- Unoriginal ideas or features clearly copied from other servers.
- Anything too unrealistic or improbable. It's a game, but we want to maintain a sense of realism.
- Anything technically impossible. SA-MP is very limited. If your suggestion sounds impossible to implement, it likely is. Maybe do some research about what's possible or ask staff?
- Anything which promotes hate, discrimination, acts of terror etc.
- Anything which defames or harms in any way, any person, group or organisation, including other servers
- Anything which is religious or political
- Anything too offensive
- Anything which makes light/fun of serious world events
- Removal of features that have purposefully been put there for a reason, such as the disabling of front-facing drive-by shooting on motorbikes or reloading animations
- Decreasing jail time, making it so you don't get jailed after death etc. or removing/reducing monetary penalties for jail/death
- Mobile phone feature: it's unoriginal, doesn't fit the 1992 setting, and the Interaction Menu already exists

Feature Removal
Features such as screen fading, anti-cbug, anti-quickreload, anti-slidebug, swaying camera etc. are added for a reason. Unless a majority of the community voices concerns and wants a feature removed, they will stay.

Feasibility and Worth
It would be nice if I had an infinite amount of time to add every little suggestion, however unfortunately I don't, and I can only add a small portion of suggestions. No matter how much I want to add them all, I simply don't have the time or resources. I have to be very selective.


Thank you for reading these guidelines and for your feedback.
