Jail system on the server is pretty boring, so let's spice it up with some features, like:

Interactive jails! Killing prisoners 24/7, deepfreezing, playing with them and also putting them on 1/3sec farm. Of course the prisoners wouldn't be able to reset till the end of their jail time! If your sentence would be over, you will be spawned outside the jail area.
Jailbreak!!! Policemen who would purposefully or accidentally save the prisoner will get into the wanted list, as well as the prisoner -> escapee! If you catch both of them, they will be put back to their cell with a bigger sentence! (Wanted people wouldn't be able to catch each other)
More illegal stuff! Since endless and infinite jumps are removed in police, lets make jetpack and 8 jumps illegal in police! Every time you use too many jumps or jetpack for too long, you would get warned that it's illegal. If you get warned too many times, you get into the warning list, and the more you use illegal stuff, the wanted time would get bigger!

(If that wouldn't be enough, we could make spawnblocking at the real start illegal!)

For the new jail area we could replace an area below police, because its kind of useless.

I have stumbled on my old map, where I had an entertaining jail area. I'll send a picture of it as an example of how it could look like:

Tell me what you guys think! :D And if you have questions, write them as well!

i think re-work jail system is good idea, but rework this place...

Arylz commented 2 weeks ago

so, to get into a funny prison, you have to block people at spawn. it's not fair. they should sit their asses in a boring room imo

What's your point? I came up with this idea to make jails more entertaining, why is it not fair? You can get out of jail and instantly be inside of police. With this idea you won't instantly spawn in police, but outside the jail area. Please explain it better.

I have made the new jail map, let me explain all the features of it:

Mapping:

I added 5 new jail cells named from A to E. These jails are automatically on. The buttons for these jails are named from A~ to E~. These buttons open the jail cell for 10 seconds, enough time to take out the prisoner.
I've added a new dragger in the tunnel, which circles around only the upper area of tunnel. It would be used to kill, send to police or unfreeze players. The button for the dragger was added into the jail control room.
I added additional jail cell, which doesn't have a spawn. Could be used for some pro strategies or fun. It has a door, which is always open and its only closed by holding a button. The button for the jail cell was added into the jail control room.

Interactive jailing:

When players get caught, they will be put into one of these jails, it's going to pick randomly. (The old jail will still be functional, it's going to be for lucky prisoners, they won't be tortured 😂)
They are going to be deepfreezed (except old jail), which means they won't be able to move, unless undeeped
They won't be able to kill themselves, they will have to wait their jail time to do that.

Jailbreak:
If somebody saves the prisoner (undeepes them and saves them), they will be instantly put on the wanted list for 10 minutes, as well as the prisoner.
If somebody puts the prisoner too far from jail area, the guy who dragged him will be on the wanted list for 10 minutes, while the prisoner will teleport back to his jail.

More illegal stuff:

@fokkonaut already made this, so I don't need to explain more stuff about it :D, https://github.com/fokkonaut/F-DDrace/commit/5c3f0e91d63d645b61380cbb246e5698fc4fecb3

@ChillerDragon We need your opinion about this :D, if you like it, just tell me to make a pull request on maps.

I don't like how thin the floor of the police is.

TimePause3D commented 1 week ago

I don't like how thin the floor of the police is.

I remember you said something about keeping an eye on the prisoners from police, that's why I made it like this, but that's no problem moving it down a little :D

Yes but it's not an easy thing to do. If the floor is thin it makes the police feel different. It's not worth it since you can't casually walk over to the jail anyways. And in standard zoom you won't see much of it. I can't think of any good solution for the entire thing.

That's how it would look like:

But like i said, there will be no issue in moving it down

Changes I made in the new jail:

Mapping:

I have moved jail down a bit, so you won't be able to see it from police, with some changes below just to fit with the rest of the parts.
Everything else stays basically the same.

I have basically explained the other stuff above, so I don't want to repeat myself 😄

@ChillerDragon - The old jail will still stay and still be functional, as I mentioned above as well, so basically everything in police stays conserved, won't ruin the look and the gameplay 🙂. On the standard zoom you won't be able to see the new jail from police. That's how it looks like:

Let me know what you think as well!

TimePause3D commented 6 days ago

One more feature I want to introduce:

Instead of calling new jail the New jail, let's actually call it Prison, because it's a separated area from police. So what I want to introduce is: The jailing system! Basically how it works is when you get arrested the first time, you will go to Jail. And if you get arrested the second time in the span of 72 hours, you will be go to Prison, where you can basically get bullied for your crimes.

If you get to prison, the cooldown is back to 0 and you have to wait another 72 hours. If it reaches 72 hours+, you are basically clear of all your crimes, so if you get arrested, the cycle starts from Jail again.

The 72 hours mark might be a little harsh, but I wanted to set an example 🙂

Summary

To make things clear, I will try to summarize everything on this thread and put it in one place.

Jail 2.0, which is a prison, is located below police. The goal of it is to provide more entertainment on the server with:
1. Mapping
2. The new jail system
3. Interactive jails
4. Jailbreak
5. More illegal stuff (already done, but could be more!)

Let's start with mapping!

(1.) The prison is located below police, replacing a previous area.
(2.) Prison contains 5 cells named from A to E, which are operable by buttons named from A~ to E~. The buttons open the cells for 10 seconds, which is enough to take out the prisoner. These cells contain a deepfreeze tile, which is placed on the jail spawn tile, so the prisoners will be deepfreezed.
(3.) Inside the freeze tunnel, connecting prison and underground area I placed another dragger, which it's path is shorter than the other one, going basically from the left wall to the right wall, it doesn't go down. It will be used to undeep, kill, or send people to police. The draggers' button is placed inside the prison control room.
(4.) Inside the freeze tunnel I placed the undeep, which can be used to break prisoners free.
(5.) Near the entrance of the freeze tunnel, I also placed an additional cell, which can be used for pro strategies. The cell is always open and can be closed with a button, which is in the prison control room.

The jailing system

When you get arrested for the first time, you will go to jail, but if you get arrested again in the span of 72 hours, you will go to prison.
If you have been to prison and get arrested again, the cooldown will reset and it will put you back to prison again.
If you won't do any crimes for 72 hours, you get cleared and if you start doing any crimes again and get arrested, you will start from jail again.
This way we are going to keep the jail in police, as well as make it stay functional, also adding a purpose for the prison.

Interactive jailing & Jailbreak

When an arrested player gets into prison, you are able to do whatever you want with him. Kill 24/7, have fun or try to undeep them.
The prisoner will not be able to reset, so the first point will have sense. They will be able to reset after doing their prison time.
If you save the prisoner, which means he has to be able to move, you both get into the wanted list for 10 minutes.
If you take out the prisoner away from prison, you will get into the wanted list for 10 minutes, but the prisoner will teleport back to his cell.
To determine which player saved / took out the prisoner, it will depend on who was the last person that touched the prisoner.

More illegal stuff

If prison will be a thing, we could add more illegal stuff like:
Making spawnblock illegal on the real spawn
Shooting taser at the police officer would be illegal. If you shoot a wanted player or a non-police player, it would be legal.

@TimePause3D and me did some improvements to the area. I think it's not the finished version yet, but leads into a good direction.

ChillerDragon commented 3 days ago

I like those

This area could use some love imo. The doodads look lazy. There is just grass on every surface which is never faded out on the edges. And there are so many random edges. It does not feel cozy. Not sure how exhausting the gameplay is there with all these high steps and little hookables. But that could be fine.
