Modern Yet Different:In need of Develoeprs

looks more like spawns tileset, but then again it is alot of the same staff so that could be why.

Minus the tileset what do you guys think about the idea please keep that comming instead.

Also I want to make it so ordinary members cam do petty jobs suchi as mining and fishing,and only recieve medicocre guns and weapons. But mafia members will get more guns as they do misisons and get higher in the family and racing more rep you get more races unlocked and upgrades to your car.


We will have weapons such as
-bats
-brass nuckles
-arm gear
-guns

We wil make it for racing section you can add hp to your car and make it faster by the upgrades you get and the more street credit you get by winning races.

Most ways to make money will be by being a cop who runs the government ( I understand this can be abusive but we will have logs like crazy that will make sure this works and if causes problems that can't be solved it will be gone.) and the Mafia were when you get more into the family ranks and do more missions you will get more perks.

This seems a lot like "Mafia Wars", the facebook and myspace application.

However, some of the ideas you presented haven't been done...although, there are a few reasons as to why these haven't been done.

Firstly, your racing scenario.
How will races be performed, circuit races would require an insanely scripted hit detection and a course script would also have the be scripted which could take a while.

Secondly, modifying the cars. How would you do this? Have seperate graphics for each bits say for example a sticker that is located on the car via x and y variables or would you have the graphics team make every single car accommodate every single mod and adjust the players car image as necessary?

Thirdly, having horsepower increases, this is an interesting idea, but, this would clash with a max. speed detection to see if somebody is using a speed hack or a wall hack etc.

On another note, you seem to not have a set goal in mind. You are throwing out ideas left, right and center that you don't seem to know you are actually going to implement.
For example, you are asking the forumers if you should let people walk on the streets. Surely this would be your decision and you would weigh up the pros and cons and do some other information, considering most of the forumers don't actually play and deduce a decision from that.

Finally, the ideas of the families, mafia ranks and access to guns. This could be a good idea. However, once you have players that have developed and own the guns and have the trophies and worn the t-shirt so to speak, there will be a huge imbalance between the achieved and those trying to achieve. Access to guns would be a big factor. Just iamgine having someone with a top spec gun always picking on the little guy. It's like this on Era, however, it's not such a big gap as everyone has access to the guns, it all depends on money.

I think overall there are some good ideas and if brought about, could make some changes. I think you must realise though that with Era out there as being a modern server, this server has very little chance of reaching the classic tab.
