A New Feature I Feel Like Should Be Added

GaithersburgPD. · Aug 11th 2020

This is a feature that I feel like needs to be added:

I understand the point of POIs is generally to be able to get calls generated realistically. That's what I mostly use them for. But I run in to the same issue where I cant get all the realistic POIs to function because the real buildings are to far away. I thought maybe with the use of the location search feature it could be a feature.
If this were to become a real thing this is how I would Imagine it: An option to chose if a station generated calls or not. A draggable box where you could drag over where you want your generation area to be. OR using the MissionChief location search feature, you can chose if a realistic location that you want your calls to be generated. Example: If you were to use this feature and search up "New York City" then it will generate calls anywhere in New York's City Limits. If you want multiple cities, add a comma and search up whatever other city you want. "New York City, Jersey City"
That's just my Idea.

Boundaries and zoning is a great idea but is not possible in OSM for the game, however (I mentioned this on another post) in a “better crewing” update I put together, it did include things called “call range booster” which were buildings that didn’t add to the total number of stations and couldn’t have vehicles at but they did allow calls for one of the 3 services (or more, depends if you select fire, police, or ambulance) to spawn around them.

Overall the POI system needs a rework

you know, this whole concept is great and what I would most desperately ask for.

The way I picture this system working would be, you can select an area which you can drag as for example a text box with 4 little points. You can make a general area say, industry or commercial and select what missions can generate in that area. I can tick, banks, high rise and storefronts. It will also be super beneficial to people who want to build with wildland. I want many areas to generate missions especially when the area is large. So, if we can drag a POI box over a mountainous region and select “forest” then that whole area is considered a forest. It is an awesome idea!

Not to be repetitive. I don’t know what OSM is so just putting that idea out. It’s similar but maybe?

I think this system would be so much easier to use and very intuitive to the beginners side of perspective.

TACR has literally just started that zoning and boundaries are not possible...

Caolan753 · Aug 31st 2020

There used to be a script where you could generate the pois based on the real life buildings in that area but the dev disabled it.

I’m sorry, did I not make it clear that I have no idea what OSM is and I tried to give my idea?
Thanks for being rude man.

Helpful and interesting. Wonder if they can bring it back. Why did they get rid of it in the first place?

It overloaded the poi generator website sadly.

WinWin · Aug 31st 2020

ah, gotcha. Optimization maybe?

OSM or open street maps which is what the web game runs off and uses. We nor kieran are being rude we are trying to get it through along with the mods that boundaries are not possible. Reading old fourm posts can tell you this

I appreciate the explanation, but please stop. Everyone can have there own view points on this. There will be no changing of opinion here wether you like it or not. Please stop bringing this up. I hate being negative and I am an optimistic person although some matters man, just drop it. I have no idea why you brought it up again as, you were not even part of it. Leave it be, arguing ain’t going to cut anything or make anything better for anyone.

I know now that my idea would not work, does it hurt to ask? Apparently to you guys it does. I am a pretty senior player and I would really like a feature like that to be implemented. A plead for a feature like that, and as a person who has no background to coding, I don’t think you are thinking about wether or not it really was obvious.

A marker, sorry, but I do consider that rude.

Thank you.

Emm Sorry but if you look at your own question your clearly asked what OSM is and ive told you the answer. I'm not being rude nor am I shooting down ideas but I've been on this fourm since 2016 and in the last 3 months people have asked the same question about boundaries and everything a mod has to tell people no it can't be done it gets asked again and for the mod it gets annoying.

Yup, I condemned you for answering what OSM means, did I not?

And for the fact that this form post is one of a kind, I have no idea what you are talking about considering as well, I joined more than 3 months ago. I am not a new player to the game but a bit newer to the forum. So, as this is the only post I read about this topic I posted here.

I don’t really get why you don’t just ignore it. You weren’t even part of the argument and you randomly picked it up after a short while so you could prove your point? I am just saying, I am putting out arguments to your “claims” and it’s getting pretty repetitive. In this post I have addressed all your points and they don’t align. Just stop. This can be the final post for now. Don’t bring this up again unless you still have different excuses to make of my wrong doing.

Otherwise, it still doesn’t break the fact that your being rude.

Lets end it here ok,
In OSM custom map boundaries are not possible nor will they be for the foreseeable future.

We have suggested range boosting buildings to solve the problem but nothing has been confirmed by the devs.
