Streets with... names ? Empty Streets with... names ?

Post  Cajak_Lunam Fri May 02, 2008 7:39 pm

I always found some difficulties when I was chatting with another friend and we wanted to meet somewhere for DMV or for taking money

(( Cajak_Lunam: Do you know where you are, so I can pick you up ? ))
(( Friend: No. I see a tree and a bar ))
(( Cajak_Lunam: Which bar ? ))
(( Friend: There is also a barber shop next to it. ))
(( Cajak_Lunam: Alright, you're in Dillimore ))

This is just an example of a real conversation which happened to me. So yesterday I thaught: "Why not giving a name to each street ?" The conversation would be shorter:

(( Cajak_Lunam: Where are you ? ))
(( Friend: It says... O'Connell Avenue and I see a Cluckin Bell ))
(( Cajak_Lunam: Alright I'm coming ))

The idea might be useful for:
- Police, Paramedics and other Corps: ((Suspect found in Bates Road, approach with caution )) or (( The suspect is located on Main Street, Andrews Road crossing )) (that makes it quite RPish aswell)
- Newbies: They just have to read the road where they are and someone can pick them up easily
- Houses: When there will be a Houses script, each house will have a proper address and civic number.
- Roleplaying: A name for each street makes the server more realistic

I also drew a "very cute" sketch map of Fort Carson, with a name for each street. Of course, this is just a test, and the names can be changed.
Streets with... names ? Fortcarsontl8

How is the name going to appear ?
The same way as when the game goes to another neighbourhood (the writing appears on the bottom right of the screen, written with San andreas font)

I hope you'll like this idea. I accept all sort of critics, even ones like "OMFG KAJAK TIS MAP IS FKUCIN STOOPID GTFO!!!11!!!1"

The thing with this is it's very hard to achieve (I think, to the wiki with me!)

Fantastic idea! I as a trail admin would love it.

It'd be a better way than saying like I'm at some shop and they can harly describe it.

I love the idea, hope it gets used.

We could make the street name appear like this. One time I saw on a site how to make your custom text (I'm still looking for that page)

Cajak, add me to MSN (xalphoxrp@hotmail.co.uk) or Xfire (Xalphox) and we'll discuss ways on how to do this and road names.
