Prison Updates to Enhance DOC/Prison RP

[ImArteria]

Assurance: Have you read through the rules from the README.md file in the root folder of this GitHub repository? Yes

Summary: I have been sitting on these ideas for some time now, as they would take time and RP to show that it is worth it, but I figured it would be better to get them out now.

Enhanced Prison Experience With DOC slowly building, I believe that it's time to add some quality of life things to prison. This would require simple mapping/adjustments of a "pool" of items.

• The first thing that would need to be done is "trashcans" around the prison. These trashcans would have multiple items within the pool such as a knife, lockpicks, "spoons", food, maybe a few bandages, and (maybe) a syringe (which could be used in the future for drugs possibly, or bolt cutters, or a chip)
• Each of these items would have some purpose. A knife is a typical prison item that could enhance RP between prisoners and DOC, allow RP for "riots" and things of that nature. Lockpicks could be used in a Prison Heist, and same with the spoon. Most other places have the usual "Lockpick a door" or "Find a way to get outside the prison walls". So now the question is, how do we make our prison escape unique?
• The unique way to escape prison would be having multiple ways to escape! Each way being detailed below

Spoon Escape

• Yes, typical movie things. This would work exactly how you would expect it. It requires RP and time of building these items, holding onto them so they aren't confiscated by DOC, and saving up until you have enough. How would this work though?
• First off, by going to trashcans, you would need to find these spoons. These spoons have an "8" durability, meaning 8 total uses. Each "spot" would require 4 (maybe more, needs testing) spoons to get through. So where are these spots?

For the main gate exit, your escape would start here https://i.imgur.com/7S0iOLf.jpeg After you use 4 spoons, you will have an option to "go through the hole" (meaning just teleporting the player to the other side of the fence), and make it into the outer ring of the prison After this, you could go to the left or right of any of these types of exits https://i.imgur.com/UDKc0wN.jpeg You could do a few things at this point, such as lockpicking these doors to the main front room of the prison https://i.imgur.com/cm3eMQZ.jpeg Or you could use bolt cutters on this fence here https://i.imgur.com/0FqY1aQ.jpeg Or you could use a chip on this system here to force the gates to open https://i.imgur.com/kZ3h1Bu.jpeg Or you could continue your spoons to do this https://i.imgur.com/K8FwRyE.jpeg

Above is ways to do the "main exit" being where vehicles can enter inside the actual prison. The other places would be in different spots, but ultimately lead to the outer ring. Below are some example spots that are within the "inner ring" and alternatives to the "main exit" so DOC has a harder time of "camping" this spot as it's a mechanic. Side Exit - https://i.imgur.com/iEUr04M.jpeg Medical Center Side - https://i.imgur.com/MLRaorU.jpeg

After either the main exit, side exit, or medical center side is used, it ultimately takes the player to the outer rings where they would do the steps I linked after the main exit.

After they get outside the outer ring, (out of the prison entirely), PD/DOC would get an alarm saying there has been a prison escape and people would respond. DOC would have priority as opposed to PD but still room for both.

Reworked Cleaning/Prison Jobs

• As it stands right now, you get 2 months off per job completed. I believe this part should stay the same as the new Penal Code won't be much of a grind to get out of prison.
• What do I think needs to change is possible "drops" from doing this which could have the same pool as trashcans. Going inside to "eat" should refill hunger/water. "Working Out" should remain the same as Im not sure on what could make that different

DOC

• One of the main changes I'd want for DOC is the ability to be able to take time off, but no more than 15%. So the command would work as such

• /Time_decrease (PlayerID) (Percentage from 1-15). If they try to use it on the same player, they will get notified "This player has already had time decreased!"

• Time_extend (PlayerID) (Percentage from 1-15) Which will extend their time if they have bad behavior. If they try to use it on the same player, they will get notified "This player already has had time extended!" Reason: Why would your suggestion be a good change to the framework?

• This would add more RP for DOC and Criminals who go to jail, instead of Criminals being forced to Press E to clean up spots and DOC just speaking with them.

• This would be "quality of life" in my opinion and would allow room for further development

• Make Prison not as "boring" for people to either just F8 quit or grind to get out

• Allows room for more DOC/PD growth as people may be breaking out or saving contraband up. If syringes are added, could be a good way to implement heroine or morphine into the gang community. In order to get these you must be broken out, giving people an incentive to do those activities.

I like the idea, however Trash Cans may be hard to do as "Prison Trash Cans" would need to be different props to the rest of the trash cans around the map as I believe Loot Tables are tied to props (Twoot can verify if this is the case)

Could also just be drops from cleaning as well

[ThisIsNotDex]

Would also need to implement something to where these drops, or whatever they will be, specifically items for escape, do not generate when there isn't X amount of DOC on duty to counter. As well as if there is DOC on duty, X amount of cops would also need to be on duty in order to assist DOC with the escapees.

Instead of finding a whole knife, maybe find items that could be made into a "shank" - maybe in a trash can or location you can get yourself a PVC Pipe, or an expired card, and then have a specific spot in prison where you can sharpen the item and it'll turn into a shank, which can be used as a knife but isn't as deadly due to its nature

[gadjinee]

I was thinking one of the things i would like to see if possible is DOC officers been able to fly out from break room, on multiple ocasions when i log in to my DOC character and it spawns on yard if theres prisioners they just attack you straight away and by the time when you kinda logged in and able to contol situation its very easy to go down with all your equipment

Just thinking that having an area where DOC can fly in and out like in break room would avoid that and means that we can start our shift in safe space

I've made the prison trash cans searchable now and added a switchblade as one of the things that can be found in dumpsters

1. I love the Idea as am DOC
2. there is no way your finding a chip in a trash can unless someone in DOC puts it there
3. there will be no way to get bolt cutters inside unless somehow someone on the outside gives you them
4. the Medical Centre and Side edit I like
5. there wouldn't be a reason to take time off people if you wanted that done it would be for waiting for transport as we do now other than that parole would be Nice
6. add time for bad behaviour I like that because putting people in solitary doesn't do much anymore
7. things like prison gangs would be nice but just not the time unless you have 200+ months
