Hey there,
I'm already working on the release of Version 7.3 of the Gamemode,but the update will be a bigger one than 7.2. Maybe some of you wondered about the logo on forum main Site the last days, well this will be part of the new Gamemode Version:
1. Desert Storm Police Department - Special Terrorism Protection UnitThis system will be a huge update for the server, and I though I can just create a good system for everyone in server, not only for the ones with high amount of score and money. So the idea is simple - everyone with 30+ score can easily join this Task Force via command. Within this protection unit,you'll be able to rank up (from Newcomer up to STPU-Commanding Officer).By ranking up, your options of equipment,vehicles,weapons etc. increases of course. But this wuld be quite the same as we already have in the gamemode...ranking up,new weapons,equipment etc. so I have to include some RP ideas here. You'll get the ability to do mini missions within the Battlefiel or far away from it and you'll have to complete certain achievements to rank up (Joining delta force for 5 time s etc.) . STPU will also have team vehicles and a base that will be probably be placed at LSPD headquarters but with easy access to the battlefield (cause LS would be way too far from battlefield). As one of the most important features, STPU members will be able to /create teams to get partners in their fight.They'll be able to have better private communication (no /pm needed anymore) as well as (hopefully) get the ability to shoot from a chopper (helicopter) ;one gunman with unlimited m4 and one pilot. I'm still deveoping ideas for this system though so if you have any suggestions concerning STPU feel free to post them below.
2. Cruise Missile System
I had this idea in mind for a very long time,and now I think it's time to realize it. In return to the STPU team that is only available for cops, terrrorists will get 2 controllable rockets (cruise missile). When flying it, you'll follow the way of the rocket until it explodes after 30 seconds or when hitting the ground. Everyne with 100+ score will be able to control it and when you score kills through it, they'll appear in your /stats.
3. LasersWe already had this before on old Desert Storm, but I want to bring lasers back to the server (unless they create too much lag this needs to be checked first). They'll be available via /equip command and can be attached to multiple weapons such as m4,mp5 silenced pistol etc.Available in 5-6 colors.
4. /plate commandOnly a small update; this will enable you to set your own and custom license plate text in your vehicle (only works without vehicle mod installed)
5. Suicider PlaneA bit more interesting than the Suicider Car, but pretty much the same idea. This will give terrorists a plane to blow up wherever they want to, useful against flying objects,planes and helicopters.
6. Locking Accounts after banLately the ban file has been flooded with IP bans and rangebans, so I assume that very many people are not even able to connect to the server anymore because they're affected by rang-IPs etc. To avoid this for future,we'll just lock the accounts of the banned people which prevents them from coming back because many hackers don't feel like starting from scratch again concerning their score,money and stats.
7. Extended Player MenuWe do already have a player menu, but not many people are aware of the fact that SA-MP allows players to click on other playerids in the Tab List. To make appropriate use of this feature,I'll script an extended player menu with options for both players and admins.Normal Players will get a menu with things like Duel,Send money, PM, Invite etc., Admins will get further options like Mute,Kick,Ban,Jail and so on.
