hi,

@dark,

i see what you're aiming at i think. In the last year Vandettacrime was live before it went dodown Dunkelfeuer did create a battle-arena in which several dummy accounts could be wacked for a reward. Not sure if it will be hard to edit but when possible i will reïntroduce the battlearena once more. It is still limited by the limited amount of attacks you have daily and the daily attacks to one and the same player though. So you probably will need a few days to put him or her six feet under.

Hi,

@dark
I have been toying around with the page provided by dunkelfeuer but i don't seem to be able to give it head nor tail. The code is html but it involves pages and links to vandettacrime and kriegerhd, which was his server back in the days. Instead though, i will be looking in creating a few npc-characters which at some point can serve in community-driven killfests. With the current attack limitations in place it will require the community to work together to bring down a common foe which in turn will grand a mass-donation. I am still thinking in through though. They also can take part treasurehunt events by simply being part of the vandettacrime-world and, indeed, as dummies to be attacked when the daily quest requires it.

With regard to the weapons i do think that pushing back the profits of so many things from the past the weapons are already somewhat harder to acquire. But i must admit i haven't changed anything with regard to the weapons. I will give it a lookover and make adjustments where necessary. With the vandettacrime game based upon the core from mafiacreator.com there sadly isn't much i can do with regard to the coding side of things, but i pride myself on finding a way to achieve the desired end none the less.

As for the voting links in the past they earned a total of 250.000 pound and 10 credits, right now clicking and completing the 5 votes will earn you 200.000 daily. Probably something to nerve down when the earnings are still somewhat to high. But for this i am not entirely certain yet.

Hi,

@dark
I did do some playing around with the weapons, but despite the fact the pricing isn't easy to solve without increasing the power they give i hopefully did make a good affort for a first template. I am curious to your oppinion and of all players of course so careful adjustments can be made within the boarders of the platform.

With regard to the limiting them to ranks and such that's sadly not possible ... The only limitations i can put upon them is mainly the price and the power they give. Problem is that the lower the power they give the lower the maximum pricetag can be set to. It also works vice versa, the higher the power they give the higher the pricetag can be. This will mean however that the minimum price that can be attached to it also increases.

in short, the more power the higher the pricerange, the lower the power the lower the pricerange ...

As for the drug upgrades there is a 'upgrade shop' link just above the drugs heading of the page. Through this page you'll be able to purchase drug upgrades. The higher your rank the more upgrades you can buy.

For example: On the rank of empty-suit you'll be able to maintain 30 of the mushrooms, when you become follower this will increase to 60 and so on.

For the marksmanship we did have some contact in game, will it be helpful when i place the instructions in this topic as well? I mean, for all to read.

Hi there,

@dark,

Glad to learn that the prices do seem to look like less insane. I will see if i can get around creating 3 or 4 npc's tomorrow afternoon/evening. They will require a slight building up and attention every so often. I mean, they'll require a bit of power themself. I was thinking of an easy mark, a medium mark, hard mark and a very hard mark. Translating it easier this will mean for example 80.000 power, 200.000 power, 500.000 power & 1.000.000 power.

Glad to read you did find the upgrade shop. Producing drugs is intended to be a nice side-income in addition to the daily activities. The earnings can be adjusted a bit depending on what the testing results tell us.

Oh yes, expect to be in jail quite often. The thing is, when you increase in rank, getting used to the more difficult crimes will gradually gets easier. I mean, stealing art from the national museum will be way harder as an empty-suit then as a godfather. Building up the chance-bar will be easier when your rank is higher.

I forgot to answer your question with regard to the gym. Don't worrie, nothing went wrong. The gym is a vip-activitie indeed, but after the reset each account received 7 vipdays to begin with. As well as 25 credits a hand full of cash and bankmoney + 10 lockpicks which are in fact a free breakout from prison.

I will post the instructions for the marksmanship in the next post. For sake of overview.

Greetings, Mike

That makes sense regarding the gym, though is there a way to check the amount of VIP time on your account?

For the npcs you battle, I'm not sure how the power ratings work since I never got into the fighting system of the game, but how about a system of ranks to vary their power.
Like perhaps if they were said to be interpol agents, they could have police ranks like constable, sergeant, detective inspector, chief inspector, and super-intendent, while if they're a rival crime syndicate they might have ranks like thug, boss fixer etc.

Just as long as there are plenty of them round the world to bash .

I also like the idea of different crimes being associated with different countries, that could actually be really interesting, EG I'd love to kidnap a member of parliament in the UK, or rob a buss full of tourists in Aruba .

You could even have higher level crimes associated with specific countries too.

All in all, like the direction this is going.

Oh btw, any idea why I can neither buy amunition nor heal at the hospital?
I have the option to buy a factory or hospital for 500 credits, but not to actually use their services, or can you only heal or buy ammo when a player actually owns the property? that would be weerd.

Hi @dark,
To be honest, i sadly can't build in crimes associated with different countries. The special activities like the stocks exchange and soccer betting can be relocated easely enough, while the mysterious packages and human smuggling are somewhat limited in their relocation possibilities. But perhaps a nice middle-way to edit the crimes you commit during event-periods and changing them back afterwards?

With regard to the npc's. I am intending to prepare the first 4 this afternoon. I got a suggestion from another player to perhaps make them known names from real-world drug-cartels. Like Escobar, El_Chapo, Simbada (don't know if i spell his name correctly), Migal_R and Gilberto_R for example. These will fit in perfectly with the different mafia ranks there are in the game since creating the police-ranks will require the mafia-ranks to be exterminated or the free choice of gender to be eliminated, allthough, i think this last one can be a solution ... Not 100% sure though.

For the buildings. I made a few quick adjustments. I found a select_box on my controlpanel which allows the buildings to be used despite the fact they aren't managed by players. In exchange i did make the price of bullets 2000 euro's each. Cause there should be a downside to buy from gouverment-run shops and an advantage for buying from player-run shops.

Also, i brought up limitations on how many buildings a player can pocess. It will make the way of things more fair. In this case anyone is able to manage a building except players owning 90% while the rest owns nothing. You are able to own 1 building times your rank.

For checking your remaining amount of vipdays you can visit the home-page. There is a heading with personal details and one of these details is your current vip-status. If i recall correctly it should show the date on which your vip-status ends.

nice fixes there, I might even look at buying a building myself too.

I thought the crimes might be  possible to make country specific, since some of the robberies are, though again, more roberies might be fun, EG rob a stately home in the UK or rob a dance club in spain.

I'll be interested to see more npcs in the game, though perhaps a page should list them for people who aren't as up on real world criminals.

hello, at 14, I have sent you a mail containing the information for my account, hope you look into it

oh, thanks, I got your reply, I cant wait for this weekend when I can freely play this
