Warehouse Robberies
Mafias may now rob warehouses. Warehouses have been re-worked on to make the robbery interactive and challenging.
Warehouses owners may hire security, the more they pay for their security, the harder it will be for robbers to steal the materials.
The warehouses have static guards which the robbers need to kill. The amount of guards depends on the security level of the warehouse.
Once the guards are killed, the robbery leader needs to hack the warehouse security computer. The difficulty depends on the security level of the warehouse.
When the hacking is complete, members can start stealing materials. A maximum of 25% of the current warehouse stock can be stolen from a warehouse.
The warehouse alarm always triggers either 3 minutes after the robbery starts or if the entered code is wrong - so a high security level for your warehouse is important.
The more guards there are to kill, the more time they will waste on killing those, and the more time they will waste on hacking the security system, and they'll have less time to steal materials until you are notified of the robbery.
If the robbers fail to hack the security system, you will be locked inside the warehouse and will not be able to flee until an addtional 3 minutes are over.
Warehouse robberies require a minimum of 3 faction members. At least 3 members of the warehouse owning faction need to be online to start a warehouse robbery.
You can steal a maximum of 25% of the current's warehouse stock. Every participating member is limited to stealing 25k materials per robbery.
If you die or quit as a robber within 6 minutes after the robbery started, all of your stolen materials will be returned to the warehouse.
If a warehouse was robbed, it cannot be robbed for a random amount between 8 and 16 hours.
The PD has absolutely no relation to warehouse robberies and will not be alerted of those.
Business Robberies
Additionally to robbing money out of a business, you can now rob components. You can either rob general item components or alcohol. Be careful what you rob if you want to restock your own business with the stolen components.
Stolen components can be stored in a faction-owned warehouse or stored directly into your business.
Money can be robbed every 12 hours, components can only be robbed every 24 hours.
Turfs
The way taking over a turf has been returned to the "old way". You need to have at least 4 members in a turf in order to take it over. A turf take over requires 4 minutes. If at any time there are less than 4 members in the turf, the take over will fail.
Turfs now have a bigger value for mafias. Tier 0 mafia leaders can define the tax rate business owners will need to pay to you when they unload their money. This means there is a government tax (0-5%) and a mafia tax (0-10%) which factions can set individually for every business.
Property duplicate keys
A feature many have been asking for, to hand out more than just one duplicate key for houses and businesses. It's more than that, you can customize every single duplicate key. You can set individual permissions for every key. E.g. your first friend can only open and close the doors of your house, whereas another can open and close it, but also manage the house locker.
This means you can now hand out up to 50 duplicate keys where every key has its very own permission set.
Easy property management
Many property commands have been merged into only one simple command. Houses can be managed with /house, businesses with /biz and warehouses with /wh.
This makes it much easier to manage your property without having to remember all of the commands.
Staying anonymous and preventing metagaming
Instead of simply being "Stranger" when having your name off, you now get assigned a random unique 5 digit ID. This means once I am /name off, I get assigned a random number, in this case I am then Stranger 39485.
People can /pay me without knowing my real ID, so instead of entering the player's ID, you enter the unique ID. e.g. /pay 39485 50000
The real name will not be visible in your money logs for 72 hours. For 72 hours you will have "Given $50.000 to Stranger 39485" in your money logs. After 72 hours, this will automatically convert into the player's real name.
Admins can look up these unique IDs at any time and see who had what ID. Any abuse in this new system (because you're completely anonymous) will be severely punished.
Races
Some people liked that races no longer have collisions, some did not. In order to solve this issue, admins may now turn on or off collisions when starting a race. When a race is created by an admin, you will see whether collisions are enabled or not for this race. You will all spawn at the same spot with collisions disabled, and after 5 seconds they will automatically enable.
