This was the magnum opus gamemode that established my name in SA-MP in 2016 to 2018. It is a roleplaying server with heavy RPG elements that took SA-MP to a completely new level back in 2016: the entire map is reworked, it has a custom horse system for vehicles, and a ton of RPG elements previously unseen in SA-MP (we pioneered them).
This server originally launched in 2016 and had a peak of 90 players. It lasted about four or five months before our inexperience (mostly on a management scope) caused the server to implode. During the development of Medieval Roleplay, it was reopened in 2018 with many updates to showcase the power of SA-MP 0.3DL (fully animated horses, custom towns, custom attachment models, ...).
This script is extremely outdated. It is being open sourced for archive purposes, since it is collecting dust on my hard drive. It is NOT recommended for use, rather only for reference and nostalgia.
Credits to the developers:
- DignitySAMP (project lead)
- DTVSamp (main developer)
- Rusu (main developer)
I figure not many people will get this to run (or at least, not in a playable state), so if you are curious to see what the server looked like when it was up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me0RweOwJLk):
Support will not be given to run this, as it is not intended to be put online. I hope that with the release of this script, people can look at some of our techniques, innovative solutions and learn from our mistakes.
Please keep in mind that I may have forgotten some features. This server was last live in 2018, and I simply skimmed the files and went by memory to describe them.
Account system
- Basic randomized RP quiz (different options on every attempt)
- Basic tutorial (currently not used, but should still work. Outdated as of WW-RP V2).
- Basic new player task system which replaced the tutorial system
- Basic experience / level system.
- Interactive textdraws on registration where you choose gender, race, town, skin and age.
- Spawn selection method that automatically puts you into ajail, prison, crash position, predefined spawnpoint (house, business, town, ...)
- Master account system (multiple characters with custom textdraws for selection)
- Namechange system (character/account)
- /relog (/logout)
Horse script
- The 'infamous' horse script from Medieval Roleplay
- Different horse models, all are animated serverside
- Completely removes the need for vehicles, essentially a 'custom' vehicle
- Dismounted ("parked") horses can be damaged.
- Custom sounds for horses (but the files are lost to time, alas...)
- Textdraws for horse speed and health
Hunting script
- Deers dynamically roam the map. Very basic AI (they will avoid mapping and not collide with anything, dynamically turn around. Every path is 'unique' in that regard).
- Deers are custom models and are animated in the same way horses are - using a basic frame script.
- You shoot deers, some weapons do more damage than others.
- Shot deers can be skinned, giving you stuff to sell in the general stores and food.
- Skinned deers turn bloody and despawn over time, inspired by RDR-2.
- Basic skinning animation, you need a hunting knife for this. This is an endgame job.
