HEY YOU ... FUCKING READ THIS (Updated 12/7/2011)  Recent Updates: Woo it's snowing again! Presents are back, with a new Candy Cane item to be handed out. Also Christmas trees, snowballs, and Riot Shields ... get voted in as SWAT to try them out. Yes I'm still plugging away on the big update, but apparently if I don't release something every month or two Juice starts trying to touch me. I don't like it when he touches me. Stop it Juice. There are three new passages on the map, they work basically like the Penthouse/Hospital map teleporters, but you *can* throw printers through them. Please note we will be using the SAME RULES we have been using for Penthouse/Hospital teleport spawns, which have now been added as Rule #30 (feel free to scroll down). Teleporters are now available from Hackers and Scientists. Equip it, left click on the ground to mark a position, and later right click and stand still for 5 seconds to teleport. 5 minute cooldown, and if you unequip the Teleporter (by selecting two other guns or dying), your saved position will be erased. AMMO IS NOW EXPENSIVE. YOU MAY WANT TO ADJUST YOUR BINDS. This is to discourage spraying bullets in crowded areas. Crowbar and Knife damage dealt to props has been increased considerably to compensate. Also, you need to load your guns after a respawn. We are now on our new database. You shouldn't notice anything much different other than a bit less lag, but if you find any bugs or issues with the new system, please let an admin know in @ chat. Perm Dart Gun is now available from Medic npc with 100 Reputation, Crowbar from BP npc, also at 100 Rep. Get to work! Hacker, Medic, and Scientist can all now purchase Dart Guns ... very low damage weapons that will cause your target to slowly lose health for 60 seconds. Props are now frozen when spawned and when unghosted from being held by physgun. Secret Task now involves physgun instead of gravgun.  The BP cashier may have some work for you to do. He'll only hire people he thinks are suited for the job, and who he thinks need the work. Perks Two new Perk trees ... these have to do with specializing in attack or defense. The more damage you can do, the less damage you can take (if you're doing twice as much damage, you'll also be taking twice as much damage). Level 5 Perks in these trees are an area buff to up the damage or defense of those around you for 30 seconds. The level 5 area buffs do not have negative effects ... they only increase damage of defense, they don't take anything away. Also you now get 1 Perk point to start out ... then an extra one every 5 Endurance levels, for a total of 6 at max. The command to access your Perk menu is rp_perks. PERKS ARE PERMANENT, SO CHOOSE WISELY. Well, mostly permanent, you can reset your Perks for $1 million from the Medic NPC ($500k for VIP). You get one Perk Point per 5 points of Endurance. You can only max out one category on the Perk list ... or you can choose from multiple categories to have a more versatile setup. Endurance cap has been raised to 25 to allow for the 5th Point, however level 21-25 will not give any extra HP or armor. The percentage bonuses for the first three levels Healing and Lockpicking do stack, so all 3 levels will give you a +80% increase in that ability. Also yes, you can no longer use Double Jumps or Wall Jumps without allocating Perk Points to that category.  Soul Orbs can now be seen floating in random locations by ghosts. If you find one, get close to it and press 'e' on it, it will remove 60 seconds from your spawntime. Before anyone asks, these are *random* locations (within certain boundaries), so yes, they can be inside, outside, in the air, halfway in a wall ... *RANDOM* locations. Admins can NOT move them around so don't ask, though they will move themselves to another spot if they aren't grabbed within 20-60 minutes (again, random).  We have a new Event Meter, it's on the 3rd floor of Nexus in the office, on the wall. Players will be able to initiate events based on how full the meter is. The meter fills up faster the more people who are online. Using the meter to start an event will use up the bar ... so if you want a Beast Event, you need to keep people from starting any other events until the bar is entirely filled. The button must be pressed by 3 people within 30 seconds to start an event, to keep one person from being able to choose the event for the whole server. Tripmines can now be purchased from Black Market Dealers, and Sensors can be purchased from Hackers. Tripmines are pretty self-explanatory, however placing mines in public areas will be considered attempted RDM and will be bannable. Sensors will show a flashing red light on your HUD when someone walks in front of them. They are not absolutely reliable, and there are ways to bypass them. Enjoy! New Class: Scientist Scientist is an upgrade from the Medic class (does not require a vote). A Scientist is basically helpless ... he cannot use guns and does not get a Medkit. The Disorienter has been moved from the Medic to the Scientist to give him at least a bare minimum of defense. The Scientist's purpose is to spawn a Laboratory (they are expensive!), and to have the Laboratory spawned for one hour. After an hour, the Lab will spawn a Plague Canister and then disappear. That's right. You can now spawn your own Plague Canisters. NOTE: Do not bitch to admins because your Lab gets raided and you have no guns. You need FRIENDS to guard your lab. In addition, Laboratories fall into the same category as Printers ... they are ALWAYS illegal, and cops should be searching for them at all times. Demote protection for Foremen has been extended to 5 minutes from getting job. Mayor and Scientist will now also have 5 minutes of demote protection. You will no longer get flagged a Murderer for kills during a bank robbery, and people killed by Murderers will have an instant respawn. Speed limits! Mayor can set the speed limit with '/speedlimit [number]'. Speed limits below 25 will remove the limit ... max limit is 100. Normal cops will now have a Radar Gun ... it will show the speed of a car and will show a message to everyone if they catch a speeder. It will *not* auto-want the speeder, so cops can charge speeders for tickets at their discretion (we'll go ahead and say max ticket is $1000), and if the person doesn't pay it, you can /wanted them then. Hats! Yes hats. You can buy them from the new npc at the Flea Market. The Traffic Hat will reduce your damage from vehicles, Turtle Hat will reduce all damage by 50% and makes you immune to tasers but make you unable to run, and the Plant Hat will allow you to buy weed by typing /buyweed no matter what job you are. There is currently one hidden hat. Critical Hits: Get shot in the leg, you'll slow down, get shot in the arm, you'll unequip your gun. Chance for arm crit is 30% per hit, 60% for legs, reduced by 1% for each level of target's Endurance. You can no longer squish two props into a barricade to instantly smash through barriers. Also props will no longer explode when unghosting too close to another prop. You're welcome. -Hitman class has been added. -You can give your revenge kills to a hitman by doing /contract Hitmen can access their hitlist with !hitlist in chat. We also have finally added our new proplist. Juice Kelly was kind enough to go through and trim things down to 250 props, so we won't have the annoying 'cannot spawn model precache limit' garbage anymore. If you have a prop you use frequently that has been left out, please post on forums, we'll get it added. New revenge kill system is in. If someone kills you, you will see a 'REVENGE!!!' tag over their head until you kill them again. If they kill you again before you kill them, you will be able to see that tag through walls. These tags will persist over player disconnect and server restarts. If you kill someone, they will have a revenge flag on you forever, until they kill you. When you kill someone on your revenge list, it will give a message to everyone, and show in console. From now on, these are the only kills accepted as revenge kills. If you kill a bunch of people and say 'they were all revenge kills' and it doesn't say on each kill '[name] got revenge on [name]!' then it will be considered rdm. We are also introducing Murderer and Pacifist tags. You will get a Murderer flag if you kill 8 people in under 10 minutes. A Murderer flag means you are fair game to be arrested (like hobos), though you cannot be shot on sight. Everyone on server can see where you are at all times. The Pacifist tag is gained by talking to the Medic NPC after having not killed anyone for a full hour. Once you get the Pacifist tag, you will have an instant respawn, you will have access to /buyhealth, and you will be able to CPR people in 6 presses instead of 10. Pacifist will save when you log off ... once you have it it is permanent until you kill someone to lose it. You *will* lose Pacifist by killing either NPCs or Zombies. As always see changelog on forums for full list of changes: http://www.noobonicplague.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=24&start=20 Remember, if you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please visit our forums at www.noobonicplague.com/forums/ Welcome to Noobonic Plague! This Server uses the following mods: n00bAdmin, DurgzMod, PHX3. Rules 1. Don't be a dick. 2. Don't be a dick. 3. 1 and 2. 4. Anyone attempting to get past the barrier in the woods will be permabanned. No second chances. Do not fucking do it. (You can't get past it, but I don't want to see anyone trying). 5. Propblocking is allowed! You can blow the props up, so yes you can block with them. Exceptions to this are rule 17 (cannot propblock Nexus front doors unless during lockdown) and rule 19 (no props inside bank when not robbing bank). Glitching doors in any way so that they cannot open or close is not allowed. 6. Microwaves and gunlabs are indestructible, and can be physgunned/frozen by their owners (and admins). This is intentional. 7. No crooked cops! You can take bribes to let people out of jail but THAT'S IT. 8. No crooked Mayors either! You can be a dictator but you cannot break your own laws. 9. Mayor can set laws but printers must ALWAYS be illegal. 10. 7, 8 and 9 mean NO HOLDING ON TO CONFISCATED PRINTERS BY COPS OR MAYOR. 11. Prop climbing is allowed, but anyone running around in a glitched area (if there is no texture under your feet or on the walls facing you, the area is glitched ... this includes behind the rock walls in the woods) will be shot, slayed, and/or banned after repeated offenses (it's not going to hurt anything, but we'd still prefer it if you didn't do it). 12. Admin disrespect will not be tolerated. This does not mean admins can ban anyone they want, but it does mean you should not verbally abuse an admin for doing something you disagree with. If you have a complaint, visit our forums and post a report in the proper section. 13. The New Life Rule (or NLR) is no longer being enforced. But we have to have a rule 13 so uh ... propblocking corpses is okay! But do NOT put corpses in elevators (or elevator shafts). 14. Random Deathmatching (or RDM) is killing someone FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. It does not refer to killing someone to take their printers or other property, or killing someone who won't get out of your house, or killing someone for any other reason. 9 times out of 10, when someone shoots you, they have a reason ... just because YOU don't KNOW the reason does not make it RDM. Admins will generally kick/ban for RDM only if a person kills MULTIPLE people for no obvious reason. I hope this clears some things up. 15. During a bank robbery, inside the bank THERE ARE NO RULES. It is intended to be a bloodbath. The one exception to this is that cops still cannot be corrupt, even in the bank ... so they cannot help rob the bank. 16. Mic spamming is not allowed. If you are asked to stop playing music or other sounds over voicechat, by anyone, please respect the request and stop. If you do not, you will be kicked and/or banned. 17. A person is not considered an intruder in Nexus if they are in the lobby. This means you CANNOT shoot them (without another reason). Non-government personnel in Nexus garage or upper floors can be shot without warning. The exception to this rule is during a lockdown, when Nexus front doors are allowed to be locked and/or propblocked, and people in lobby can be shot. When lockdown starts people MUST be given a chance to leave Nexus lobby. 18. This shouldn't need to be a rule but NO METAGAMING. This means you can't use something someone tells you in OOC to do something to them ingame (e.g. if someone says "omg my printers blew up" in OOC you cannot /wanted them for it, or run straight to where they are to grab their other printers). This is not limited to simply OOC chat, this applies to ANY source of information outside of normal RP (ventrilo, steam chat, etc). We consider PMs to be in-character, so you can act on information from a PM. 19. You cannot have props inside the bank unless you are actively robbing the bank (this means you cannot put props up and hold the bank for 15 minutes while you wait on bank to reset). We generally let people setup 5 minutes before robbery begins, so shooting can also begin at that time. 20. Cops need to have a valid reason to search ... as per rule 18, this cannot be based on OOC info or any other non-RP source of information. 21. 'I wanted their guns' is not a good enough reason to kill someone, and will be considered RDM. 22. The only jobs with a restriction on their morality are cops and the Mayor. This means any other job is free to lie, cheat, rob, and steal (but not RDM) to their hearts content. Please do not QQ to admins when a medic jumps in your car and drives off ... it's allowed. 23. Do not flame OOC chat. If you have a disagreement, keep it to PMs or local chat. We don't want to hear about it. 24. If you are a cook, you MUST place a microwave in a public area. If you set your microwave price higher than normal and try to trick people into using it (by any means), it will be considered microwave scamming and you will be banned immediately. 25. Yes the Zombies can RDM, but they CANNOT SPAWNKILL. 26. Hobos can be arrested for being alive because they are infected. Once they have been released from jail they will respawn in the Nexus labs, and it is allowed to keep them trapped there. This does not mean cops can shoot Hobos ... they have to arrest them (it's a forced quarantine). 27. If a wanted person is shooting at you, you may kill them in self defense. You CANNOT shoot a wanted person just because they are wanted. This applies to cops as well as non-cops RPing bounty hunters or other vigilantes. 28. Do not ask for money or donations in /advert or /ooc (or any other public channel). You can still beg in local chat. 29. Government personnel are allowed everywhere in Nexus, meaning cops cannot keep other cops out of certain sections, UNLESS the Mayor (or, if there is no Mayor, the Chief) says otherwise. 30. Putting props at a teleport spawn so that a person going through the teleport becomes stuck in the prop is bannable. This means no props in Penthouse hallway at all. 31. When there is no Mayor, the default laws are those basically existing in the United States. Drugs are illegal, fully automatic weapons are illegal, pistols are legal. Dart Guns, being a biological weapon, are illegal. Chopshopping cars is not illegal unless the car being chopped is stolen. Police can /wanted anyone they see kill anyone regardless of whether it was a revenge kill (murder is murder). Police can /wanted anyone who kills a cop just from the kill spam in top right corner. Police can /wanted the person who killed them after they revive. Police CANNOT /wanted someone who kills a non-cop unless they actually see them (cannot use the kill spam for non-cop kills, idea is cops are assumed to radio each other just before they die and tell who shot them, non-cops do not). 32. These rules are a work in progress ... in the event of something not on this list, the word of the admins are law. Citizens cannot use guns without a gun license! The Zombie class can RDM all it wants, but will revert to being a citizen upon death. Join the Hobo class if you want a chance at being the Zombie. The Mayor reverts to a citizen after being killed. Don't like the job he's doing? Assassinate him, no /demote necessary! Vehicles Will disappear if left unowned for 5 minutes. Police cars will disappear and respawn at the Nexus if left unused for 10 minutes. Locking or unlocking a car will reset the timer, as well as getting in the driver seat. VEHICLES ARE LOCKED WHEN PURCHASED. This is intentional, to keep thieves from interrupting Car Dealer transactions. Use /bus to request a Bus (if drivers are available).
