Hello, welcome to Manni's Roleplayhouse. :)

First of all read the Roleplay rules  on "www.mannisfunhouse.eu".
Type ingame !help that will show you usefull commands etc.
On Roleplay, you must make money to buy weapons, food and other stuff.
There are 3 types of order to make money.

First: You earn every minute as much money as you have wage (your wages you see top left)

Second: By rob from vendors and Banks every second you get 3 $ (to rob a vendor press shift 2 times)

Third: By killing other players you get money while you take the dropped money by press e.

--->But watch out, you get crime for point 2 and 3, so the cop can cuff you!<---
There are 2 server with same database (that means you have same wages and all your stuff there too)
Enjoy your day on Manni's Roleplayhouse and have fun! ;D

hmm... well, first things first, "about money": you can earn it (wait/wages), steal it (approach a vendor (random npc) and press shift, you'll get 3$ per sec until the regestry is empty, and finally kill to get it (kill other players and pick up the shiny stuff they drop :P).

About "items and weapons": You can buy alot of items and weapons from npc's you find on the map by pressing "E" and than "Esc", a menu should pop up showing you the items you can purchase from that npc. When you buy the item you can equip it by typing !items or /items in the general chat (for a full list of commands check the "RolePlay Commands" sticky here on the forum).

Now to "crime points": whenever you shot/kill someone or steal from an npc you will get crime points, you will get different crime point amounts for different crimes you do, when you have crime a cop (player on combine team) will try to cuff you and send you to jail, there you will have to wait for the cop     to release you, when a cop approaces you he will give you a menu, accsses it by pressing "Esc", and chosing wheather to pay the cop your bounty or to stay in jail for a certan amount of time. And you cannot be sent to jail if you do not have crime (issue with some newbes).

Hope this is enough, and sry for any grammar mistakes, I was a bit tired  :(

Glad you took over the idea from.. snowy was it?

Hrrrm, let's give it a try:

Welcome on the roleplaying server.

This roleplay server exists of a map played by several players. To keep a friendly enviroment, we request you to refrain from rulebreaking.

1. The mayor purpose of this map, is to reinact the real life community as good as possible. This includes having a job, have a house or having a large armada of weapons.

There are 3 mayor groups on this map. The rebels, which are citizens, and the combine. These resemble the cops on the server. Combine cuff and jail rebels who have been penalized with crime. When you join the server, you can only be a rebel at first. The last group is the local group of npcs (non player character). These npcs aid you with food, drinks, weapons, gadgets, or in some cases: Cash.

2. Before you get started, it's always wise to read the rules. These can be found under the roleplay forumtab on www.mannisfunhouse.eu/forum. You could also type /rules in the window to get the same results.

When you join the first time, you can get to either a dog npc to change your job. These (and every other npc) can be contacted by pressing e and escape after, when looking at them. This can also be done while typing /jobmenu in our window. There is a large list of choices, which is enlarged if you donate to become a vip member.

3. There are several ways to get cash on this server. You'll get a vast ammount of cash every minute, which depends on how long you have been on the server. The other ways are by either robbing a npc (by pressing shift near one twice) or killing other people.

Once you get items, you can get to them by typing /items in your window.. and pressing escape after having entered it.

4. Robbing and killing will get you penalized. You'll get a fixed ammount of crimepoints which will make your name go red. When being in this state, no vendor except the bank npcs will speak to you.. and cops can cuff you.

When being cuffed, you can be either cuffsawed or sent to jail. When sent to jail, you'll have to wait several minutes + your crimelevel. This can be shortened significantly if cops asks a bail fee. Cops won't ask any fee if you end up killing cops.

You can request to become a cop once you have 20 wages. There is no guarantee you can become a cop, as many request the same thing. Best is to have a clean record, and a slight popularity.

Last but not least:

5. If you end up finding bugs on the server, it might be wise to inform the admins on the forums that there might be a possible bug there. False reporting to get an amdins attention can and will result into a ban.  On that point, you're not supposed to bother an admin with trivial matters. If something needs to happen, they would already have done so.

On any other matter, have fun on the server.

I know, short howdo.. but you need to explain alot more than what you can do on the server.. most of the time you get these questions: how to change job, how to use items, how to rob.

And after 2 days: Does it make any differ to change between a job or does everyone get the same ammount of cash no matter what?

The howto should be for the newbes and if its short its good because noone want to read a book to play a game. ^^

How about a short howto, make it as short as possible but someone new needs to understand it. I'd like to see small pictures too which shows what to do (example: "Press <a picture of the E button on the keyboard>" or siminal).

And one longer howto which needs an index.

So Yamato you howto would be the longer maybe instead of only 1. 2. 3. make some headlines too and an index.

keep comming I have presents for the best ones too. :)

Hi new player!
Here are some first steps what you should do!
 
1.) Type !help in chat to see some informations!
2.) Type !rules in chat to read our Roleplay-Rules!
3.) Type !commands in chat to see possible commands on this server!
 
With these 3 commands you can see everything what you want to know to have a nice and peaceful life on our server! Have fun! :)
 
 
 
 
@chanz: Im Spiel kann ich mit den commands !rules und !commands nicht mehr nach unten scrollen! Weiss nicht ob das nur bei mir so ist! Jedenfalls ging das vorgestern noch!?! Ansonsten wird man immerhin noch richtig verlinkt zum Forum-thread!
 
/EDIT: Ich könnte aber auch noch in der NoKillZone ein kleines Schild aufstellen wo diese 3 wichtigsten commands draufstehen! :P

Hello new Roleplayer. Welcome to Manni's Roleplay House. There are some basic things you need to know in order to understand what to do around here.

You'll be asked to pick a job when you first join the server. If at any time you feel you need to change your job type !jobmenu in chat.

There are two MAIN ways to make money. You can rob vendors (by pressing shift twice near the vendors. You should stay near the vendor until it says you are done. But beware, you will get crime and might get sent to jail!)

OR

You can wait around for your wage to give you money every 60 seconds. (The more you play on the server, the higher the wage you get. Type !rprank in chat if you want to see your rank)

Each vendor sells different things that may be necessary in your survival. (Food, suit, weapons, ammo, etc) Press e on the vendor (then press escape) and then select your item, making sure you have the right amount of cash. To see your items type in chat !items .

After robbing, or getting some wage money, it is always wise to deposit money in the bank. Do this by going up to a banker NPC and pressing e (then hitting escape.)

As you get more money you'll be able to buy homes, or apartments. They will cost around a lot of money + it is rare to see them for sale.

(Tip: Killing someone or robbing a vendor gives you crime, which a cop can arrest you for! So try and hide and get your crime down!)

That's the basics! If you have any more problems you can type these in chat!

!help
!rules
!commands

Have fun! Be sure to join our community at www.mannisfunhouse.eu

What destroys many peoples rp life right at the start: noobish killing.
Before starting to kill just start to know the players on the rp. Do not mess with people who have higher wages/skillz or money than you, they could make your rp time to a bad time :P ;D :P

Pick your enemys and do not fuck around with big clans.

Thats not very helpful, and if its not helpful don't post in this thread! ,- Chanz

ooh, you mean prizes for the best guide? damn, i should have done this a long time ago.

well

Hello, new player! Welcome to Manni's Roleplay House!

Manni's Roleplay Houses make up half of the servers Manni hosts, with others being two fun house (puzzle/coop), a jump server (jumping maps), and a test server, where Manni and his staff of root admins test new plugins to make your experience at Manni's Fun and Roleplay Houses that more amazing.

Manni's Roleplay Houses feature 3 different maps, running all at the same time on 3 different servers. The first server features the Gtown map, made by one of the roots of Manni's servers (Gpoint). The second server features City 18, a map that was used a long time ago on the first Roleplay house, and later brought to the second server. The third server features City 45, a map that was formerly hosted on Server 1 as well, but has been brought back via the opening of a third server.

Manni's Roleplay servers feature a wage system, which means as you spend more time on the servers, your wage goes up, which means you have more money to buy things you might need. Of course, if you have a wage, you pick a job which you can change via the DOG vendor. The job is not overly important (unless you are a cop, but if you become one this usually happens after you know enough about the community anyways), you can choose a humourous or serious title for your job and it will have little effect on your experience. With wage accumulation, other things can be effected though, like the increase of jail costs to get out of jail.

There are many vendor NPC's throughout the maps, to activate them or use their services, just press the "e" (or whatever button you have set for the action button), and then press the escape button to use their services.

If you have low wages, but wish to accumulate money at a fast rate, you might want to try robbing vendors, as this is the quick and easy way to make lots of money in a relatively short time. Simply go up to a vendor or banker (in most cases the Gman npc's) and press shift twice. This will enable you to rob a vendor and take money from them, but also increases your crime rate each time you take money from a vendor. To avoid losing this new-found money due to a player killer, just go to a banker NPC and activate him, and deposit your money. The banking system keeps your money for you, meaning no one can take it unless you withdraw it and have it on your person while you are running around, or you get arrested and have to pay the fee to get out.

The final important thing about Manni's Roleplay houses is the jail system. Certain players on the server may be cops and jail people for crimes they commit. You gain crime points by harming other players with weapons or traps, and robbing vendors. Generally cops do not care if your crime points are very low, but if the cops do get you you are hit with a stunstick and put in "cuffed" mode, meaning your body turns red, you get disarmed, and you move very slowly. You are then sent to jail, where the cops come eventually and let you out for a fee. The money is then taken out of your bank, and you are set free to continue on your experience.

There are other things about the server, but there are mostly either minor or come naturally while playing, these are just the basics for you to get started! If you have any further questions on the gameplay of the Roleplay houses, feel free to ask any of the roots or admins, who will be happy to help. Have a fun adventure!

ehh, hope that's not too long lol

Hello eccentric roleplayer, you are probably wondering what that blue hud thing is in your top left corner, well good sir, that is what shows your job, money with you, money in your bank and if you're a naughty boy, your crime as well. Now about jobs. You shall notice that if you go up to the DOG npc and press e you will get a menu of jobs. Choose whichever one you feel like using! But keep in mind, if you don't get a job, you won't get any money!  ;)

Vendors are different all round. There are some that sell weapons, some that sell suicide bombs, some that sell lockpicks and doorhacks! And the admin npc's will sell you COOKIES!!!! OM NOM NOM NOM, NOM NOM, OM NOM. There are also several secret areas on the maps, however I wouldn't want to spoil your fun and tell you where they are!!!  :-*

Cops are dangerous if you have crime, otherwise they are quite nice, such as myself. But keep in mind, you won't get any special treatment if you're friends with a cop! Also if you decide to join a gang and kill cops, please keep in mind, cops DO have a wide array of weapons should we need to use them.

Apartments cost a LOT of money, and until you have high wage (above 15) you will probably faint from the price! That and the fact that every single one is sold within the first hour of a new map lol  ::)   People can also give you keys to their app if they feel they can trust you. Yeah right. And just in case you were wondering, the MINIMUM someone can sell their app is 25000$. Yeah, seems mind-numbing now, although later, it won't be so much.  :P

Thats about all for now new roleplayer! Enjoy yourself, and make sure not to run into the following people.
  • Me
  • Witto
  • Huli
  • Anyone else with guns or a cop status

And don't piss these guys off!!!
  • Me
  • Dr. Breen
  • Gpoint
  • Huli
  • Blutstrausch
  • And anyone else with a high enough status

Long list I know, but this should help you!
GOOD LUCK!!!!! ;D

Milk's RP Guide

Introduction
O Hai Thar.
Well I'm gonna tell you something About HL2dm RP,It is pure deathmatch but if you're the winner it's fun.
Now,Mannis RP is a very popular server and is one of the best/The best RP servers on Hl2dm.

Through roleplay you will make new friends and enemies but it's always better to have more friends than enemies.

Picking Friends and enemies
You can always go on a killing spree and start killing everyone but that will result in you being killed.
So here are some Protips:
  • Dont kill people with a wage higher than yours
  • Always try to make friends And avoid making enemies
AND DONT KILL THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE IF YOU WANT TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE
  • Huli
  • Witto
  • Milk
  • Agent
  • Breen
And theres lots more so Avoid trouble.

Binds/Settings

I Recommend you to enable your console and use fast weapon switch.
To do both of those
Options-Keyboard-Advanced And tick the boxes.
Have you're binds set up for the start.
So i recommend these things
In console type
Bind i "say /items"
Then type /settings into chat and press Esc.
There you can set many things and for me it's useful.

Money $
Money is one of the most important thing in RP.
You can use it to buy Weapons,food and apartments.
There are 3 ways to get money : Kill people and pick up the cash,Rob vendors(2x Shift on vendor) And AFK
Well you can always beg but i recommend the upper 3.

Weapons
Weapons are useful for protection or Just killing.
Weapons cost alot of money so be sure to buy how much you need not waste all of your money on them.
Dont buy a stunstick seperately,Just save up like 5k and go buy a bunch.If you like close range fights go buy a Stunstick/Crowbar/Shotgun ,If you like long range buy a Revolver,Crossbow or RPG(I recommend revolver)
Dont buy pistols their useless.

Appartments
Getting an apartment is hard ,Especially when all are bought out.
Best way to get an apartment is to pay someone money so he sells it and you can buy it then.

Well,Thats my RP guide
Thx for reading :)

Jool's rp guide :

Read everything that have been posted before and add that :


-Try to roleplay...
How ? Well, make a restaurant, walk on the street without bunny jumping, invent some kind of story, play your cop job like in real life ( you are under arrest blablabla the jury will judge you now ! ) I mean, that kind of thing that everyone forgot about...

 

anything
