We're happy to announce that OCRP2 is right around the corner!
After plenty of setbacks, delays, and other miscellaneous problems the game mode is finally at a stage we consider complete.
The purpose of this thread is to give you a general idea of what to expect - the full change-log will come soon.
ResetAround the beginning of the development of OCRP2, we decided that we would use a fresh database.
The economy, in the present time, is close to non-existent due to the exploits, insane rates of easy money making, and the fact that we're running on a database that hasn't been wiped in three years.
There are a few more reasons, but those listed are the main leads to the current, horrific economy. Regardless, too much has changed internally and porting over old information would be next to impossible.
We personally believe this will have a very positive impact on game play as well - because there's no fun if you have nothing to work for.
Donator BenefitsBenefits will remain the same - however, the numbers have been tweaked a bit. VIP will start with an extra $20,000, gold will get $40,000.
Paychecks have also been reduced quite a bit, not only for donators, but for normal players as well.
In-Game Money DonationsAs much as we dislike it, in-game money donations are a large part of our revenue.
We want this to have as little impact on the economy as possible - so we'll be cutting the rates down drastically and it won't be possible to donate for money for the first 2 weeks of OCRP2.
This is being done to keep the sort of 'race' for the nicest or most cars, items, props, etc. that always happens when a new gamemode of this type is released.
Trust us when we say it'll be a lot more fun to earn your first car instead of just buying it right away on the release day.
New Forum SectionWe'll be leaving our old OCRP1.5 board behind with the release of OCRP2. We've got a whole new board made, so it's not a wipe of the old boards.
Your posts in that section will remain, but players will no longer be able to see the boards.
The new board can be found here:
http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?board=311.0Nearly every rule has been changed (they will change more before release) and there is already plenty of information posted.
ContentYou can find everything you need in our
Downloads section.
We are currently running RP_EvoCity_V33X, so be sure to download this version if EvoCity if you don’t already have it.
In case you have already downloaded our SVN content pack, all you will have to do is update it. If there are any issues with updating it, please remove it and try to re-download it.
You are able to find help on how to install using SVN at the
SVN Guide.
You will always be able to download the content by just joining the server. Everything is on FastDL, so you should get through it pretty fast.
External mirrors will also be available through the
Downloads section.
I would, however, suggest that you use the SVN. The traffic on the server is going to be pretty heavy on release, so you will get through faster if you don't have to download everything.
Fast download is currently broken and is quite important for launch; therefore we do not have an exact release date yet.
Garry's Mod update #160 is supposed to fix this issue, so when that comes, you can count on OCRP2 coming as soon as possible.
Feel free to use this thread to ask any questions about whatever you would like to know.
