MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS
MARCH 2015
Introduction
Hello and welcome to the highlights information thread for the month of March, year 2015. This information will give you an insight of events that occurred during the month.
General Community/Playerbase Information
Before the release of version 2.2, the community had a major decline in the playerbase. The server only had a peak of 65-70 players, both weekdays and weekends, which is lower compared to last month.
The playerbase started to stabilize again after the release of version 2.2, reaching a peak of 83 players at launch day. The improvement then became consistent on the following days with the server reaching 78 players on a weekday.
Development
Version 2.2
While we had a slow playerbase this month, March is a big month in terms of development, with the release of Red County Roleplay Version 2.2. This release includes the long-awaited new weapons system; the server upgrade to SA-MP 0.3.7; the removal of static server vehicles; the return of the updated death system and contacts; the ability to scrap your own personal vehicle, the addition of boats, a new garage system; and last but not the least - Steve the Train Bot! You can find the full list in the
changelog page
.
I'd like to congratulate the development and tester teams for making sure that everything is working on version 2.2, but of course they still missed some spots that is considered a flaw, so I'd like to ask everyone to
please
make sure you reports all the bugs you can find on the
bug reports board
.
On behalf of the development team and tester team, we'd like to thank you for your patience and we hope you enjoy Red County Roleplay Version 2.2!
Development Team
We have noticed the departure of
Smally
from the development team who took up the role of web lead developer. Smally worked to the best of his ability to code the second version
(v2.0)
of the
homepage
alongside Donut Seller, so his contributions in the community is indeed fascinating!
BigD
has replaced Smally's role in web development to continue working on updates for the User Control Panel.
Aside from that, we also have another addition to the development team -
MP2
, who is also known as Mike in the SA-MP community. He was the one who scripted the Movieserver that TommyB currently manages. He was previously in the RCRP's development team too, so once again he'll be assisting TommyB with Peach in SA-MP development to implement new features and make sure those pesky bugs have been squashed.
