Structured into chapters:
Chapter 1 - In The Beginning
- Getting SA-MP
- Make sure you have GTA:SA Version 1.0 (versions can be downgraded with a downgrader)
- Download samp from [....]
- Install SA-MP
- Joining MCNR
- Once SA-MP is installed, go to the favourites tab and add 'play.mikescnr.com' and join! The port is not required as it defaults to :7777 if it's omitted.
- Intro scene
- The first thing you will see is an introduction scene which explains what MCNR is about. It shows your character arriving in San Andreas via plane at the airport.
- Gender selection and skin selection
- After the intro scene, you come to gender selection. This narrows down the skins you can browse through to make it easier to find one suited to you.
- Intro tutorial
- Skip if you want, but you get cash at the end! and it shows a lot of useful stuff
- /register your account
- If you don't register your account with a password, it will still exist, just won't be protected by a PW so anyone can play on your name (this is a unique feature of MCNR, to save player data without someone registering, to increase accessibility and in case they decided to come back and they didn't register and they realise 'omg my stuff was saved' yada yada
- Use a secure PW
- Don't use same PW as ANYWHERE else
- Verify your Discord (/verify) to allow password reset

Chapter 2 - Welcome to San Andreas
- You spawn at the airport. You have no money, no weapons, no vehicles, nothing. You must work and rob your way up.
- Explain active cities (every 1 second irl is a game minute = 24 minutes a day = 168 mins a week) - city changes Sunday 23:59, explain 'Players of the Week' etc. on city change stats
