Gang Headquarters Map (opening post has image)

[vass69]

if you say pole position club is bad, then what is good?

[gulfy32]

[CVC] would like their base to be like the block around cafe robina or whatever

[Guest]

Hey i am a newbie and i dont care wat ppl think because everyone starts a newbie . Anyway i have a gang on mta and its call [sSH] South Side Hoods and would like to have thebig 3 storie car park in ocean beach please.

[Cerbera]

[CVC] would like their base to be like the block around cafe robina or whatever

So that would be...where?

The car park where the "Cone Crazy" mission is begun by entering the Stallion on the roof, yeah? That location hasn't been taken, but your gang isn't listed in the official gang list. Make sure your gang fits the rules set out for adding yourselves to it, then be sure you update that list if your members change. Once you've made the list, reply back here and I'll add you.

Toby, I didn't think SSH were listed in the official member list? Please read the thread you are replying in carefully.

MrBump, I've seen many gangs use this in the way I've described. I'm guessing that your estimation of how many gangs use it was just plucked out of your imagination, yeah? Ladder, tournament, the point is it's an organised competition. No need for semantics BTW, they stink the place up something awful!

As I said before, if you clarify what you are proposing then we could see whether this map can be incorporated into it. At the moment I'm not really sure what it is you are actually proposing. If you have windows messanger, try to capture me over that so we can discuss properly, perhaps?

[Boss]

Ok,since nobody has it,we'll take the Malibu 4 our hidout.

[Head_P1MP]

Ok, I know what place I want my gang to have! That one building that has the elevator you can go up to the high level and then jump out of the window to the building across the street on a bike.

I don't know the name of the building, but it is by a police station...

Heh the map is just a handy way of gangs keeping track of the HQ they have snapped up right? Hosted and edited by you, thats fine and very handy, nice thread. I dont really see why you need to be consulted about the ladder plans and organisation though? The reason i posted preview news of the upcoming clanbase style ladder in here was to get a sounding from the gangs who have 'claimed' somewhere, not from the threads creator As for incorperating the map, that wont be necessary as we prefer to replace as few vc files as possible so changing the ingame map, especially if hq's are going to be changing hands frequently, is more trouble than its worth.

So, cerbera's view is noted, he's decided it wont work already, but for those of you who have expresssed an interest and eagerness for the ladders creation rest assured it is in the pipeline.

You posted in here saying that this thread was involved, so I wanted to know how and why.

You said that this topic could get involved in something which would mean I would have to radically change the way in which I ran it, so of course I'm not going to change unless the new method is going to be better. Whether you run the ladder seperate to this or not is what I needed to know. I'm not talking about changing the ingame map, I need to know whether I need to update which gang has where in accordance to the results from the games, or whether gangs retain thier actual territory and just get wins or defeats. This is what clarification is, letting people know what exactly is going to happen.

Head_P1imp, are you even in a gang?!

Boss, I will add SM to the map in the next update. Are you sure about the Malibu though, having to wait for the interior to load before you can see where you are could get frustrating at times...

The Vass, it's up to you to find a location. Print off the large version of the image at the start of this thread, then fly all round vice in a helicopter looking for a good place which you gang can defend, preferably which doesn't require an interior loading zone. What is the short version of "Low Riders" btw? How about "_LR_" as the underscores make it look like the base of a car low to the ground and I don't think any other gangs use underscores, so you could identify friendly members easily.

[SM xenex]

Cerbera dont add SM yet, ill try to talk to boss see if we can get somethign else , because of the loading textures and more . So dont add us yet. ( no offense on your choice Boss)

I have a big idea

Really the idea is to steal someone elses idea

Gangs of GTA has a thing called takeover and it might work well with Cerbera's help

Here is the crux of how it would work here. It's like racing for pinkslips

KFC challenges let's say VCES whoever wins gets the KFC headquarters (Marina Sands) and the VCES headquarters (Drug Factory)

This way one gang could eventually control the whole city.

VCES or KFC would have to pick a new spot as thier headquarters if they lost

Now the winner can strike any deal it wants. They could fight someone else for thier headquarters with one or both of thier hideouts.

This would be a challenge thing in our respective gang threads we would have to just report that we are doing this and then report who won an lost for the map to update.

well any good?

[Oli]

that is actually a pretty good idea

[Si|ent]

/me slaps kungfu for repeating my previous posts idea

/me then waits for cerbera to try and shoot it down again

Well,

I knew I stole it from somewhere

You never clarified how this thread would be involved. I hadn't tried to shoot down the idea at all, WTF are you on about?! I was asking how this thread would be involved.

KFC, that "hypothetical example" idea would mean that this map would have to be updated so frequently that it would become unworkable, I fear. Also, the idea itself is flawed severely because if gangs which lose can just assign themselves a new location the city will simply get covered in dots, with no space for text to say who owns what!

Instead, what would work is to have the headquarters here as permanent bases for which assualt type games would be played. Defenders and attackers, that style. It's a much more tactical game than deathmatch and so far more involving to play in. Additionally, it retains the ownership of territory without requiring impossibly frequent updates to this thread AND it avoids the possiblity of property saturation, where the map becomes unusable because of all the text on it.

(EDIT) I've altered the formatting of the titles in the first post, in line with the style I now use for SSR's stuff.

Awaiting responses from:

Whichever gang Head_P1imp is from

Low Riders.

Final confirmation from Stunt Masters.

[=AA=\/\/heeL(V)an]

well if that's how these bases are supposed to be used kfc needs to change theirs....cuz the marina sands is in no way good for defending really...i'm gona go in game and browse for a new place, and i'll take a screen shot of it and send it to you on msn or irc or something....is that cool cerbera?

[Si|ent]

This thread will simply be used to confirm the initial allocation of HQ's as gangs have had plenty of time to claim them in here, winning and losing territory will be handled within the ladder system so don't worry, you wont have to constantly change the map.

OK, that's all cool then.

Still waiting for the previously listed gangs to get back to me. If KFC want to re-locate themselves, then they can. Frequent re-locating will really piss me off and I'll probably just wipe you from the map, though. Oh, make sure you don't pick a location which has already been taken.

That goes to all gangs, too. If you want to re-locate before the ladder thing kicks off, I'll do a mass update in a few days time.

WtF moves from Kaufmann to Bank.

Thank you

[Cerbera]

WtF moves from Kaufmann to Bank.

Thank you

Which bank? There's loads of them. Why are you moving out of the Kaufman building anyway? That place is killer, and you've got the music from the arcade machines to keep you entertained whilst you kill attackers!

[w715]

You know, that wierd bank @ third island near to aphothecary and stuff

@ front of it is bank car too.

And I don't like Kaufmann since I was near wall and enemy just dropped molotovs at other side of wall then I looked I had 6 hp left and I am in fire.

[=AA=\/\/heeL(V)an]

well it looks like, for some reason no one has chosen the army base so we take that if you will

[w715]

There should be no gangs at spawn points

That's the strange reason why noone has took army base.
