Hey there, i recently got the idea to start a server of my own. - But what i wanted to do with this server is make it more like a town rp and not a server that is based EVERYWHERE in sa. But what i would really like is a map that has gated off this area of the map (like idlewood or something like that) so that the players are always around each other and not wondering around and not rping. So if someone could show me a link or if i could just get some help with this is i would be very happy, also willing to give rep etc. Possibly donations

In my opinion, gated areas seem non-rp. Try scripting everything in one area, such as at Blueberry or a town like that. Then people will have no reason to go elsewhere. Otherwise, maybe you can map your own town off the coast or something, though that can have its problems.

I like the idea of a prison or some sort of institute, perhaps a farm RP which doesn't require much area, making the RP exprience much more dense.

Anyway, sorry I can't help any further as I can't map at the moment.

Im considering getting a mapper to map me a off-coast are - but i do have to consider desyncing problems with players and the objects, there might be a large problem with players falling through the area into the water and etc. I was thinking a loading type of thing when players login so that the players are at their previous position but are not able to move, somewhat frozen - so that no matter the connection you have time to load the objects. Ive seen a lot of problems with that because of the objects flashing and causing the player to fall through and stuff like that. But thanks for your help.

Quiet, Frankly I haven't seen many good Role-play servers, with Gated Community based maps, and I think that It would be interesting, to see one.

Also, I don't think Idlewood is a good choice, I think mapping one in the Desert makes more sense, Who knows?

I personnally would accept gated areas if there was a suitable theme. Perhaps a town quaranteened to stop zombies. Similar to the one in Season 3 of The Walking Dead, if you've seen it. The problem is that this is already done on most Zombie servers.
Maybe a town with strict security for some reason, such as a valuable mining area and dust hazzards. Maybe it's like South Park, where they put the wall up to keep pedophiles out. I'm not too sure. Any other opinions on this?

Why not just Map, every bridge closed down [lane closed] like the the regular GTA SA?. Players wont make it to other cities.
