Project Reality Forums

RPG (As in Roleplaying not the RPG your thinking of) mods have been made in numerous FPS' including Armed Assault (Which ironicly the PVP game that is played 99% of the time by the PVPers).

Now, I had this EXTREMELY wild and crazy idea for Project Reality. What about a roleplay mod?

MAP

The map could be anything really. It could be a MEC city or a Chinese Village or anything. Thanks to PR's map sizes it could even have parts of the country in it as well or even several towns).

Factions

There would be 2 factions (Duh :wink , the civilians and the occuping force. The occupiers could be Coallition Soldiers occupying a Town in Iraq or even members of MEC guarding a City. Heck, it could even be a Police force with some skin tweaks.

The game itself

The gameplay is simple. You play the game how you like. You could get a job to raise some cash (Eeekkk coding hell), start an insurgency (Yeah, good luck with that), start a Taxi service, sell weapons in a black market etc. The 'occupiers' would be there to keep the peace. The main problem in these RPG mods are idiots running around shooting the living **** out of civilians turning it into a deathmatch but I digress.

Before I go too far into details, would this be possible? I mean, it would be a living hell times1000000 to code.

Whats your opinions?

Just kidding

I'm not a fan of the RPG element myself.

The rpg element was pretty sweet in the .6 beta on Basrah, but everyone stopped doing it during open release

Would be nice to ressurect that sometime.

What was the RPG element in 0.6 ?

You'd have people driving up to the VCP, being checked, trying to run away, being imprisoned. Even had deals in the city, where we turned over a landie in exchange for intel.

hahhaah the good ol dayts
Honestly if it wasnt too hard to do Id like to see that

Surely an insurgent cell leader would just wait for one of these deals to go down and GP25 the lot of ya?

Perhaps I has underestimated this RPGing? ops:

Ya as dune said it was all being done in 0.6 BETA and then suddenly stopped. Sometimes I would have a 6 man squad set up a warrior and 2 landies on a road and just check cars and people. If tehy ran away they got shot.

I don't really get it, how did you get the insurgents to come to your checkpoints etc? They usually just wait at ambush points in the city hoping for a really stupid challenger 2 driver, or a solo warrior.

The gameplay mechanics seem to promote the insurgents hunting for kills and the british jumping in and out of combat hunting for caches. All this insurgents passing through VCP etc seems like a odd sideshow?

no they would be driving down road and turn a corner and see a roadblock or checkpoint, if they were really nice they drove you to a cache. Others just got out and fired at you.

oh man dune, you just brought back a lot of memories. I always did that, I asked people for them to come to some random area in the map and I would give out info on the chaces

That's because at the evening peak there was only 100 players playing 0.6 beta at most, so getting stuff like the VCP role-play was easy as there was little chance, that in the next few minutes half the server leaves and new half joins who have absolutely no idea wtf is going on and ruin everything.
Doubt you could persuade people to role-play now without losing nerves.

Good old days of .6 beta.

:LOL: Those days are not that far gone. The other day while in a Basrah server with like 20 people we were doing just that. Me and this other guy had imprisoned civies and insurgents in the VCP. And we had some of the more cooperative insurgents lead us to the caches. One time he tried to lead us into an ambush but we were to smart for that and kept our distance so the first guy missed with the RPG and we wasted the rest in a 2 minute or so firefight. At the same time we always had at least 3 guys at the VCP watching the "prisoners".

Good time that was.

The biggest memory i have about 0.6 beta roleplaying was being flamed by half of a server becuz i knived a civvie,i dint know why all these brits where standing around this civilian so i ran out a knived him while he gave us intel.....but after that i lovded the roleplaying,Once i get a full time job,i swear i will host a passworded roleplayin 0.8 or 0.9 server

best way to arrest a civi is push them in a corner of VCP and put wire around them.

Sounds like somebody has been playing Sahrani Life

you bet, best mod besides for 6th sense. ;P

There should be a few scoped RPG's lying around
