Hi! Just for those confused, this server is brand new and is being actively developed right now, 26/08/2023
I know the post says it’s from 2022, which technically is true. However that’s because i made an older post for a different server as i was already working on server development and coding back then, however CFX does not allow us to remove old server posts, instead i had to edit the old one to make this one!

So this server, (Calamity RP 1993) isn’t from 2022. But it’s a new freshly updated one. Just wanted to put that out there for anyone confused.

Hope to see you in Calamity!
-Robin

Thanks Fae i really appreciate that

Calamity has the potential to be one of the top RP servers. Robin has a special gift of creating worlds through her art, music, and rp. Her years of rp experience has come to a culminating pinnacle here at Calamity. I’ve enjoyed seeing the seeds of an idea turn into a unique new adventure in a bygone era, with the player always being centric in the equation. Come for the story, stay for the community. You have found your new home.

The amount of care and heart put into this server even at this early stage is amazing and you can really tell. This has the potential to be an amazing server and I cant wait to see it and be a part of it.

It’s time for a little Dev Log to keep you up to date on what i’ve done recently

It’s the paper days

I’ve added a couple resources that will help keep the immersion and allow people to share information in various ways.
News reporters are able to create news papers, which players can access by simply interacting with a newspaper box found all around the map

On spawn you will receive a book with a couple pages of information on how to get yourself situated and where to find the important things. This resource can also be reused in other areas and other custom books can easily be made when neccesary

I’ve added a physical items for restaurants and other retail kind of stores that need food or drink menu’s

These are physical props to which businesses hired on can update and change their own pages and pictures used in the menu, so no staff interference is needed when a business has an update in their stock.

Here’s a quick example of me testing the page changing out, and how it looks to look at it in first person

Notepads! I’ve added notepads that you will get on character creation and you can use to keep track of various things like peoples phonenumbers or the phonenumbers of phonebooths.
You are able to tear out pages and drop them somewhere for somebody to find, or give them to a player to quickly share written information.

I’ve added sitting locations in all business locations and assigned to various props all around Los Santos and the northern region. This means whenever you’re in those restaurants with hard to sit places because of tables or such, or struggle to line yourself up correctly to do a sitting emote, you can instead just interact with the chair to easily sit somewhere.

Currently i’ll mainly be working on PD stuff right now, i’ve already got the MDT looking nice and retro, and made the radar system accurate to the 90s

We’ll work on the rosters for the people that have already joined the discord and applied, set up the outfits and EUP’s, and after that i’ll get on to civillian clothing.

If you have clothing you’d like to see in the server, join the Discord and request it in the proper chats!
Now is the time to do this because after launch i dont want to change the clothing too often and mess up the numbers.

Massive amounts of bugfixes, configurations and back-end gameplay code has been done, so we are at a good spot for Calamity right now

Which means we’re nearing our ending of launch preparation.

Because of this i’d like to gather everyone together for a test run with everything that has been done so far, and see if we can find any bugs to squash, if not. great!
if you do, then also great! because that means the proper experience will be met with less issues.
this really mostly applies for game breaking bugs, crashes, anything that makes it barely playable or literally unplayable

I was planning to host an open weekend next weekend, So from the 15th to the 17th.
If you are available then and are interested in joining calamity, make sure to join the Discord

to join this opening!

Everything will be moved and updated to live, so everything should be available to be done.

This is also the perfect opportunity for those interested in businesses (and those that already have applied) to receive their keys and get sorted right away so they dont need to have that done at official launch.

Meaning its also the perfect time to apply if you hadn’t convinced yourself yet!
Itt’l give us 4 days to go over your application, and set the things up that you require

the same goes for any other application or mediation ticket for applications such as LSPD, State, DOJ, starting a law firm, or EMS

Hope to see you there!

The open weekend has started, Join the server to try out the server!

Been on the server for coming up to a week, really nice mechanics set in a brilliant time period, before technology really took over.

Looking to set up an illegal rave scene listening to the music of the times, Raves in warehouses and out in the countryside with multiple sound systems, drugs and all the culture that went with it.

Jump on and join the fun!!!
