Server Guide
For those new beginning players, they seem to be very confused on the objective of the game, and this is what this guide is for!
1.1 The Commands
This list is the basic commands that you should use as a beginner.
-
/spawn (Takes you to Spawn, LSPD Station for Cops / Random for Civilians)
-

-
/bp (Or commonly known as BackPack, it will SAFELY STORE your items while on the move)
-

-
/kit [cop/civilian] (A kit that provides you with a gun, some ammo, and a melee weapon)
-

These are some things to note:
-
When joining the server, you will receive a protection against players for 15 seconds. Although this is possible, Melee (swords/tools) and Projectiles (Flashbangs/Molotovs/Grenades) can damage you.
-
Teleportation requires a 5 second delay before doing so, if you move during this point, your teleport will be canceled.
-
The BackPack (/bp) could be useful to storing your weapons and ammo if you are near death.
-
If a Criminal, Thug, or Most Wanted (1-6 Stars), it requires a cool down until your rank is Civilian, to use a /changeclass command.
-
If jailed, or arrested by a police officer, (/escape) will give you a chance to escape jail, but resulting in Most Wanted rank, or 6 stars.
-
You can also break out of jail now. This is possible by getting other players or heisters to detonate TNT near the prison cells, demolishing the sponge barrier. If you leave the perimeter, you will gain the Most Wanted status.
-
Basic Kits for cops and civilians have a 5 minute cool down, if you die during the cool down, it will be negated and you will be able to use the command once more.

Rentable housing requires you to have money in your bank account, to which I will explain later below. A weekly payment is required and will be deducted from your bank automatically. If there is any insufficient funds, you will lose your house, and the items stored in it. If you accidentally sell your contract to the house, the items will be lost as well.
