1 Introduction
Welcome to LieuR's guide about how to roleplay in any SA-MP servers.
In the beginning roleplaying can be a bit thought, but you will learn in time how easy it really is.
This guide will help you with all the basic stuff about roleplaying.
So let's get started.
2 Basic Information
Roleplaying in samp is a bit hard in the beginning, but it gets really easy later on.
The main, and most important tool of roleplaying in samp is to use a command called "/me [MSG]"
This command will tell everyone around you, what you are doing.
If someone carjack you, and doesn't "/me" everything in it, it doesn't count, and an admin might punish the player, and you'll get your car back.
If you are in a gangfight or so, it is really hard to roleplay the same time while shooting. Becourse when you write a "/me" someone else might just come and shoot you, and you'll die.
There are some nice tools called keybinders. With those tools you can just press a button and you can set it to say /me unlocks his holster, and slowly picks up his gun from it.
Then you can already switch to your gun, and start shooting.
Also, in almost every case, you'll have to "/me". If you fail to "/me" something which should be "/me'ed" you could end up in a punishment.
3 What are PK and CK
PK, and CK are shortcuts of PK=Player Kill and CK=Character Kill.
Okay, now to the explanation of PK.
PK means Player Kill, and is when you just get killed/fall of a cliff/drown, etc
Let's say that you are wanted dead, and someone is chasing you, to kill you, becuorse you didn't pay him for the drugs or so.
He catches you, maybe toture you, and in the end, he kills you.
He doesn't want to CK you, and he might tell you that in /b(local ooc chat.)
When he killed you(PlayerKill) you just end up at the hospital, and will remember nothing in IC.
You can for example not go kill him after he just killed you, for OOC revenge or so.
You can't remember anything that just happend just when he killed you, but you will still remember what happended before, like: That you made friends with another guy or so.
Okay, that's just the basic's of PK. If you still are having trouble with how it works, please contact an admin in game, to get further explanation.
Now to the explanation of CK.
CK means Character Kill.
Let's take the example above where a guy is chasing you, and caughts you.
You did a heavy damage to his gang or so, and he really wants you eliminated.
He want's to CK you, so he have to write an application on the forum about CK'ing you.
The admin's have to accept it, so do YOU!
CK will get your character banned, and you will have to make a new one.
The CK'ed guys friend will go around and wonder where you are.
Maybe the police will find your body, and take up an investegation? Maybe, maybe not.
On the new char you will offcourse be like "New in the city" make new friends etc.
You will keep your stats, means like level, etc. Not sure about the money, ask the admins about that.
4 What are IC and OOC
In every roleplay server there are something called IC(In character) and OOC(Out of character).
These are also very important if you want to roleplay correct.
IC means In Character, and is when you do something with your character(person) inside the game.
OOC means Out of Character and is something you do outside the game(Something you are doing in real life).
IC could also be understanded as "In game".
Example, if you sit and want to chat to everyone about the real life(but not inside the game) you could just use the command called /o [MSG] to chat to everyone.
If you tell something that is IC(In Character) in the OOC(Out of Character) chat, you will be punished for something called metagaming, we will return to that later.
There is also a command called /b [MSG] so you can chat to everyone who are near to you, in an OOC way.
Example:
This is the use of the command called /o [MSG]
((OOC: John Smith)) Hello everyone, how are you?
((OOC: Lucas Miller)) Im fine. But a bit bored, could you meet somewhere IC to hang out?
((OOC: John Smith)) Sorry, but it is not allowed to give out IC informations in OOC chat!
5 What is metagame
I already gave an example of metagaming in the OOC and IC section.
Anyway, to metagame is to give out IC details in an OOC chat.
If someone use an ooc chat to get any ic informations from you, you should just ignore him/her.
If he/she keeps asking, you should simple /report [ID] Metagaming.
6 What is powergaming
Powergaming could be if you for example do
*Tony takes his knife out of his pants, and stabs John Smith with it.
Want to know what was wrong in that?
1. The person who did /me didn't have any knife, and could therefor not perform this action. The person should switch to the knife, so you can see he/she uses the knife, and that they really got it.
2. Did you notice that the person just "stabbed" John Smith, without giving him a chance to dodge?
That's just wrong wrong wrong.
The person should either do /attempt hitting John Smith with the knife, or do /me Attemps to stab John Smith in the back.
Then John Smith should either write /do Suceeds, since John Smith is slow, and couldn't get away.
or /do Failed, since John Smith is fast and just made it to move a little bit to dodge.
7 What is deathmatching
In roleplay servers you do not, and i mean NOT go around and just shoot everyone for no reason.
If you want to go around and shoot everyone, you should go into a DM(Deathmatching) server and do it there.
If you want to kill anyone IC, you have to have a reason for killing him/her.
Example: You are a gang leader, and someone betraded you with some money or so, and you give him some warnings. Then you could trace him up, and kill him. Don't forget to roleplay it, with lots of "/me's", gang members. No one would go kill a man alone if were in a gang?
No credits to me, I just know all three of the people who wrote these and edited some what of it., these are used to learn how to.
