This is an Manual OC Reminder to help faction leaders, try and get people to stay in torn when an OC is ready to be initiated. It can be quite difficult at times to do this, and quite frustrating for some players who rely on traveling for income, having to wait for other players to return from traveling. This doesn't completely fix the problem, it hopefully lowers the frequency of it. I am hoping this gets implemented or inspires something similar to this, to be put in the game. Thanks
Please note this is a working progress and changes may be frequent. Things will be removed or added. Thanks!
Manual Reminder Button.
This button would be placed beside the details Button named [Remind]. When clicked by someone who has OC permission, this would send out an event to All players in that PARTICULAR Crime Group, reminding them of how much time is remaining on their crime.
It would simply say: "This is an Organised Crime Reminder. You have 24h 43min left, before your <crime name here> crime needs to be initiated."
NOTE: To avoid spamming , once the remind button is pressed, the button will be disabled for at least 1 hour.
Below is the screenshot of what the Organised Crime screen would look like with the remind button added.
The Player that designed DoctorN: will not be adding any more features. He has told me this himself. So an option for a Script in DoctorN is not gonna happen.
A Flashing Icon would also be added, to work in conjunction with the [Remind] button, as soon as a crime is planned. This will also act as a constant reminder to watch your time remaining, and be in TORN before the crime is ready to be initiated. Hovering over the Flashing Icon (Just like all the other Icons) will show you how much time is left in your current OC (as above). This flashing Icon will remain flashing, until the OC is Initiated, then it will disappear. In my opinion, the icon should be green to start off with, then turn red when the players crime time is 5 or 6 hours before initiation.
As soon as everyone in a particular crime is in a "Ready to Initiate" state, Which means no one is traveling, in the hospital or Jailed, one event will be sent out to all players in the faction, informing them, that there is an OC ready to be initiated, and hopefully someone online can initiate it.
The event would simply say the following: "There is an OC which is Ready right now, please Initiate it before any delays occur.". This takes care of the burden of always looking at the crime screen and seeing if the crime is ready or not. Only one message will be sent out, per crime, that is ready to be initiated.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or if you notice any errors, please let me know..Thanks Black_Viper.
Are you tired of having some people, applying to your faction over and over again, and you keep declining them (for good reasons), and they don't seem to get the hint?? This can become quite annoying, especially if the leader (or whoever has permission to accept app's) is trying to recruit players, and that same person keeps applying...They may even try to fool you, by changing their name, but Id's don't lie. Well here is the answer, a Faction ID Black List!
I think having this new add on would be quite benificial, imo. Put a new tab in the faction armoury, calling it "Faction Blacklist". Allow everyone too see whos on it, but only allow faction players with permission (or just the leaders) to Add or Remove Players. It would be Identical to our Blacklist, Friend List or Ignore List, so i'm sure implimenting this would be easy. Allow up to 25 or 50 players to be BlackListed, which i'm sure would be plenty.
Then Say for example JoeBlow applies, again...then all the Leader (or persons with permission) has to do, is go to the Faction Blacklist, and Add his ID. Then the Faction can freely have recruiting open, without the headache of that player continually applying. The leader wouldn't even know that JoeBlow was applying anymore.
The game would simply tell JoeBlow that 'You are currently on this Factions BlackList, you cannot apply", or the the Application button would just be grayed out.
And that's it. comments, suggestions would be quite welcome =D
Thanks
EDIT:
I like HenkiePuk's Idea about having the game ask to add a person to the faction blacklist, after being kicked from the faction. Would save a step. Thanks!
I think there should be an option that shows up, in general settings (Under Who Can Revive You:), whenever we have competitions like this, to allow members of the same Team to revive one another.
We got Allow Everyone, Faction and Friends, and No one. I am suggesting we have an additional button added for Team mates only, when an Elimination game comes up like this. This would reduce the amount of people who could potentially revive you, unless you have revives turned right off.
Option Added>>: Team Mates
This way only members of the same team can revive you. Then after the Elimination is over remove the button or grey it out.
Just got a book today, which increases my Energy regeneration, by 20% for 31 days. I watched and I get 6 Energy every 10 mins, instead of 5 mins, which is correct. However, when I still HOVER over the Energy bar, it still says 5 Energy every 10 Mins. I think this should be changed to reflect the change from the book..Here's a screenshot of the Hover:
just happened to me as well...had 46/46 i think, now i am at 41/41....ive only been doing theft crimes (rings) and warehouse and viruses.....had a few jails from rings...but thats about it....i dont think i lost THAT much exp from being caught stealing a silver ring....lol
yes...i dont think there is much you can do..older OS, cant update Browser anymore..... other things too..like i cant add images, or delete images or nothing like that....in city places where i want to buy something i cant, because the BUY and SEE options dont show up, images are shifted over in bazzars and in city ,everywhere mostly,etc,etc,etc....funny though, sometimes it changes...like in my load-out screen,for example, way back, the images weren't there, then they appeared after an update, great, than now the image to the left of the player is slid over to the right...stuff like that....it wasnt too bad before..but i think after update 152 or 156, thats when it started to be very noticable...but again, Old OS and old browser....
wish there was more compatibility.....that's the key =) Thanks
I have placed my second merit on employee effectiveness, but its only saying I have +1 when i hover over my effectivness in my job. Here are 2 screenshots.
yes, there are still issues with some of the images loading up. Its probably mainly because of my outdated browser, which i cannot update since my OS is out of date...This all really started i think with patch #156...But im sure a lot of players have outdated browsers, and OS's ...I really wish torn had more comparability.., thats all. Anyways, i wont get into a long message here, but I will screenshot some of the issues....Thanks
