Title: If you could help littlewhitey's. How would you do it?
Post by: Simon on June 12, 2010, 03:57:45 AM
I'm curious to see what hidden talents we have in this community. Here's a quick rundown on the options if you don't understand them:


If there's something not listed then feel free to suggest it in the topic.

I could help out with pawn scripting and come up with new and fresh idea's for Littlewhitey's but, I'm not sure what my standing is with the higher up's here :-X Anyways are we talking about the SA-MP server only or Littlewhitey's as a whole? Like what about expanding the community with a Call Of Duty 4 / Team Fortress 2 server and that kind of stuff? Littlewhitey's has the userbase to expand into this big awesome gaming community ;)

Expanding to CoD4 would be great. And new ideas and stuff for SA-MP server would be nice aswell

Yeah, I noticed quite a lot of people playing COD4, although I'm not sure if they play it legally  :P

I don't play legally, but getting a legal copy is no biggie. It doesn't cost that much.

  • Graphic Design: Lets say littlewhitey's was to develop a website. Would you be able to design page layouts? The graphics to go on those pages?
I can.

Right now im just gonna sit down and watch, because everything that woud make lw better
woud be just another "its a part of the game" or "there woud be no excitment about it enymore"
Prove me wrong.

And why even make it better if:
There wasn't so many facilities before (like 2 years ago) and the server was full most of the time. How would you have fun if everthing would be easier? IMO will be a bit more boring than it is now.

From this list only development management I suppose :P Im a regular and loyal LW's player for more than three years I think, I know it very well, and I want to help improving it,  that's why.

This topic is made mainly with SA:MP in mind. Stuff that'd benefit what we have now.

I also want to restate that this topic is just personal curiousity at this time.

Pawn scripting abit and mapping if you need.

That's one I didn't think about. Very important! I would add an option for mapping that includes vehicles, player spawns, object placements, zone placements etc but I can't edit the options of my own poll? :-\

This topic is made mainly with SA:MP in mind.

Allright. Well, the way I see Littlewhitey's, the gamemode needs big changes - a completely new script to become what it was again, something new and refreshing which has never ever been done before in SA-MP. The only problem is everyone is afraid of changes, new idea's hardly get accepted and those who do, are just minor changes, I'm talking about changing the gameplay and feel of LW here, a total new script from scratch :)

But even if you would change the whole gamemode with some epic script, there is still one problem: the server name. Almost everyone from SA-MP played on Littlewhitey's and they know what littlewhitey's is about, they've seen the gameplay and experienced it, those who didn't like it probably never returned because they figured it still be the same as last time they played.

You know what I'm saying? So figure out a way IF and once a new script has been made to show players browsing the hosted list that LW's changed! Also advertise LW more on the SA-MP forums, more video's from LW showing it's amazing new script features etc :P

I have many great idea's for a new SA-MP gamemode and I could definitely help out considering I'm free the whole summer! So yeah if something is gonna be started, PM me 8)

I completely agree with you in that LW needs a true REVOLUTION, but of course I fully disagree with you in the way those changes have to be made after you in another thread said this:

Yeah lets' give them $50.000 then what is left to play for? They'll buy properties, weapons, kill other players and gain even more cash.

The original point of moneygrub was to start with $500 and a deagle and work your way up to better weapons and stuff.. and then finally when you had everything it gave you great satisfaction, then you had to redo it all after you logged out and rejoined.. LW's used to be way better :(

Like this there is nothing left to play for, only gives more reason to not play if you ask me.

And this:

I remember 4 years ago in 0.1 how fun littlewhitey's was, there was no bank to save your cash, you started with a deagle and $500 and had to work your way up until you could buy good weapons and then the fun really started, that is what kept people playing; having to work hard for something, this only makes it easier.. know what I'm saying?

+1 to that. Scott really is a good organizer.

Development Management, Graphics design, and especially mapping. I got the most experience with the last one without any doubt. Development Management is something for me too since I can organize pretty good I think, and I hate when things like bug reports etc take so long. And I'm able to create a website, but I'm sure others are way better at it since I havent used PS properly in ages.

I would like a new gamemode though it has been discussed before.

Also, i would help by going to each player who registed on LW's and giving them a mini-sheep :D

The poll should have an option named "other ways of helping".
I have sometimes helped the server by helping new players. :)

Gryphus, you don't need any permission to help new players, there is no need to inform staff about it  :D

And yeah I'm in for a revolution xD

but without some new script it will hardly be possible :P

All this talk about making a new gamemode.. it wouldn't be lw's server, it'd just be something new. I'd much rather improve what we have, than starting from scratch to go off and make some PTP ripoff.

Not necessarily: maybe he likes the current gamemode but would prefer a new one.
And about the reasons for playing here despite of not being completely happy with the gm, for example I still do because I have some friends here and because, despite the server needs many improvements, there are a few fun things...

Well, when in other threads people talk about changes of any kind, there are people saying that some of those changes would make the server not be LW anymore, but this could lead to a debate about what LW really is, and where the actual limit is, because that is very subjective. However, there are changes or additions that surely wouldn't destroy the spirit of the server.

Dugi could change the script any way he pleased, but at the end of the day it's still little whiteys.

I don't think sadik means any other gamemode than DM/Race/whatever the current gamemode is, I think he means just a complete upgrade/change in the current script. The whole current money/weapons system is turning me off becuase I don't feel like investing so much time into buying properties like it was some kind of role play server. Extremely pointless imo, but alot of people like it. The problem is, potential new players that could like this system are discouraged to work to buy weapons because hey look, you spawn with weapons.. not enough ammo, but hey its weapons. Fighting with those weapons until they run out of ammo is fine to them and they might not care that they die, they might even look forward to dying so they can get an ammo refill. All the while there is absolutely no thought taking place about "wow I should make money to buy weapons"

Not for the new players, nor for me/some regulars.

Well (hopefully) my PC will be fixed soon, so I'll be more available for development. Atm I'm using my moms laptop and its not great for coding (keyboard is annoying!) or playing SA-MP. Maybe even by the school holidays (end of this week) I can help with some stuff. However I have another project I'd like to work on as well.
