BREAKING NEWS:

 

Half an hour ago, a huge explosion took place at Mission Row Police Department. The station which is considered the headquarter of the Los Santos Police Department as it contains the office of the Chief as well as the rest of the command staff. The station building collapsed with very big loss to the police resources including cruisers, documents, officers salary, armory and more. However, fortunately, we have no human loss nor injuries. 

"A truck has came to the station, he asked about me, he gave me a box, claiming that this box is sent from my mum...When I took the box to the reception desk, the metal detector gave a beep and I had a really bad feeling about it. I have asked my superior to pass it through the thermal camera to check what's inside the box. Once I saw the bomb, I got shocked and screamed to the Sergeant next to me!" 
An LSPD Freecop says. 

"Once the officer shouted at me and told me a bomb in the box, I pushed the emrgency alarm and shouted all around the station to evacuate it. Fortunately our units and IT team were very fast and they evacuated the building within one minute. Fortunately we didn't have any prisoners in the cells as all of them were transported yesterday to the prison."
Sergeant of the LSPD Says.

Recent Announcement of the Leadership of the Los Santos Police Department: 

 

 

  
News Announcement         

Dear citizens and Law Enforcement Officers of the San Andreas City, 

We all heard the huge explosion that occurred at our headquarters, Mission Row Police Department. We would like to ask everyone not to panic, it's all under control. We have no human loss. Yes, we lost numerous police resources such as weapons, documents, and cruisers. However, better than losing one of our brave field units. Our friends in the Fire Department have deployed their full forces to put out the fire. At this moment of this announcement, the firefighters are working on the station. The whole road is closed, no one is entering the area. I have immediately ordered all department divisions to establish a high priority investigation. We will find out who is behind this terrorist attack on our station. We are strong, we are ready for anything! 

For security reasons, I have ordered to increase the security of our Chief. Fortunately, our chief was at his home at the moment of the explosion. Armed units have been sent to his house a few minutes ago for protection for these upcoming days. 

For now, we have decided to choose Vespucci Police Department as our headquarters, the command staff, as well as the chief will be moved there. Any inquiries can be redirected to the new temporary headquarters Vespucci Police Department. MRPD will be set under-recovery mission for the next few weeks.

Once again, no need to panic, everything is under control. All field units are active and working for the safety of this city and its citizens.

Signed, 
Los Santos Police Department Leadership
Sergeant Mac Taylor

Redevelopment of our V:MP Server including upgrading to Rage 1.1

So after being a hidden in the shadows for the last few years, I have come out of hiding to completely rebuild the Argonath RPG V:MP server alongside a Team of 3 developers. I have been a member of the community since 2007 and I am currently a Community Leader alongside 3 others as well as Head Developer for V:MP.

Our focus on making the server feel interactive, more modern but also has a strong sense of RP through out. This is not going to be another Hardcore RP server requiring you to take a piss every 30 minutes before you die in Sandy Shores. Argonath is going back to it's roots of a community lead server.

The first major change is Economy
As part of the development plan we critically reviewed the current jobs and systems in place, their limitations, and how we can improve or overhaul. This includes all legal and illegal roles, as well as LSPD, EMS, FD etc.

There are 3 criteria for all new development of job scripts:

• Jobs should encourage player interaction (RP, trading and business).
• Jobs should also have a purpose that affects other players other than just making money.
• Jobs should have some progression system with bonuses and incentives.

If these criteria are met we believe the jobs system for civilians, cops and criminals will vastly improve. Money wont be generated by arduous missions with no real reason.
Money is generated by creating goods, processing into items which all have uses and purposes and selling to players.
A closed economy will be generated where money and items do not dissapear into oblivion.

Planned Features

These are small snippets of the development plan to show you our intentions over the next weeks and months. More details will be released as we take these from the development plan into the scripting workflow.

Inventory System

• Players, vehicles and property will have inventories which items can be used to transport goods.
• Businesses will need to be restocked manually by transporting good. These can be stolen by criminals.
• Players will lose inventory items after death. Some of these may be recovered by cops.
• All government agencies will have inventories. LSPD will need to restock weapons and supplies providing civilian missions with real purpose. Any criminal money or weapons confiscated by LSPD are stored for use in later events.
• Government banks will also have an inventory systems for money so taxes do not dissapear into oblivion. For use in special events.

Industry overhaul

• Industry will be based on raw material production, manufacturing and retail.
• Most jobs and businesses will be possible to operate solo however transporting goods will be far quicker and less risky when players team up.
• Each industry will have progression with bonuses.
• Warehouses can be purchased to store items safely.
• All industry items are transported manually.

For version 1 of Argonath 2021 release, the following industries are being considered and will follow the industry format:

• Farming
• Mining
• Food Manufacturer
• Drinks Manufacturer
• Weapons Manufacturer
• Car Mods Shops
• 24/7 Store
• Electronics Store
• Car Dealership

All items have been produced or purchased, and transported by players. There is a real opportunity for criminals to steal and create black market deals with stolen items, which in turn promotes detective and police work

Faction System
The faction has needed some love for a long time. The vision is to create a modular system where players can easily create and manage factions - both ingame and out of game through the website. Here are some of the planned features:

• Modular faction system - all factions - LSPD, criminals, EMS, Fire Dept - all under 1 system
• Easy to create and give factions special permissions, scripts and abilities
• Faction vehicles that spawn permenantly at their HQ
• Faction progression system and unlocks.
• Factions will have 10 ranks which can have custom names and permissions set by the leader.
• Faction storage for weapons, clothes, food, keys etc

Other Features

• Fully customizable Character with all GTA Online clothing
• Create multiple character profiles on your account for different RP styles.
• Notoriety System - gain notoriety as a cop or criminal - become more well known and unlock bonuses.
• Progression system for most industry with bonuses to improve efficiency.
• Cayo Perico Island - the Island is designated as another country and is not subject to the laws of the Los Santos Blaine County states.
• This is where the majority of cocaine and cannibis may be cultivated and processed "legally"... if the island owner is feeling generous.
• Farming and processing items here need to be transported back to the mainland to store.
• Moving large quantitites of items would require transport using land, air or sea vehicles, and may be intercepted by border patrols and coast guard RPers... or pirates.

Server Status

No major script changes will be carried out on the current live version of V:MP Argonath as developers are focusing on the new Argonath 2021 development which uses utilizes more modern scripting technologies.

We are not starting from zero - our test server has a solid foundation for the above features and several features are already implemented. We will be bringing you more updates, leaks and progress reports as soon as we set up the scripting workflow and priorities for each component.
