So. I was hacked on steam about 4 months ago ( I stopped playing on thus server then), I was hacked because I was changing my steam auth device. I have gained log on information today, but I am unsure if I will have have it for long, I wanted to ask, Could it be possible to transfer my current VIP status to my other account ( the unhacked one), since I have high intensions of playing on this server again, if it is possible, please do it.
What I am going to show you today is one of the ways you can create weapon skins, this method I have used may be time-consuming but is one of the most accurate ones I have been using. If you are wondering what the outcome could be while undertaking this method then this is how mine turned out. So let's get started.
Disclaimer: You will need photoshop for this method to work, there are cracked versions you can get but that's up to you;
Please be sure to save it constantly to avoid losing your progress.
So, firstly you will need to open the weapon templates that are given from the folder sent by roast, if you are not sure where that is click this link and follow the instructions listed. Once you have done that you will need to research the images that you want to use. Once you have done that you will need to get that image onto the template, if you are unsure how to copy and paste images over then please follow these instructions below.
With the image, you want the press Ctrl + A on your keyboard, this will select the entire image.
Once you have done that, press Ctrl + X. By doing this will remove the image, from here you are able to close that image down if you want. When you have done this, go back to the weapon template and paste the image there, for those who don't know how to do this press Ctrl + V. Note: You may need to resize the image.
After you have the image where you want (you can turn down the 'Opacity' to see what part the image is covering but be sure to turn it back up afterwards) you will need to add a mask. To do this, you will have to click this button which can be found at the bottom right-hand side of your screen. It is important you still have the image selected as this will not work.
When you have added the mask, press Ctrl + I which will make the image invisible, from there you will be able to use the 'Pen' tool which can be found in the image below if you are unsure where that is.
From there, you must zoom in by holding down Alt and scrolling in with your mouse wheel. You will need to do this until all particles move into 4x4 squares. To move the image you can use the moving bars on the right and bottom hand-side of the screen.
All you need to do is follow the image correctly and selecting the edges of squares where the image is covering. If you make a mistake you can erase that by clicking 'edit' and selecting 'step backwards'. You will need to click the particle of where you left off because if you don't it will create a new layer.
After you are done tracing the image you will be able to zoom out as the shape/path has already been drawn. After this right click inside the area that you have traced and click on the following option.
Once you have selected 'Make Selection' make sure you have the Feather Radius set to 0.5, you do not need to but it makes the curves more realistic (apparently from what I read)
For the final stage, go back to the image that clicks the image that you are using and press Ctrl + I. After this you have made the image a part of the weapon template but you are still able to move it so please be careful. What you could also do is merge the two layers by holding Ctrl and clicking both images (including the shape/path), then pressing right click and select 'Merge Layers'.
If you have any questions or are confused please feel free to send me a PM @NightBlade or leave a comment down below but please be sure to tag me in it.

What'll you need to make your own skin(s): The original .tga files supplied by roast
WinRAR (For the original .tga files)
Any image editing software VTFEdit
Once you've got your skin cut and clipping masked. Save it as a .png. We'll use a simple Red Tiger camo from MW2 as our example skin.
Open up VTFEdit and go to File > Import and select your skin. You'll be greeted with a screen like this
Within the spoiler below should be all the information you need on picking the right settings for the best outcome
Once you have your desired settings save it as a .VTF file. Make sure you call it the same as whatever the weapon part you chose was called. For eg. we change the receiver from the ak folder.
Go to your garrysmod addons folder, commonly found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons
Find the desired addon, for us, we're using the AK-47 from the M9K assault rifles pack.
Open up another instance of file explorer and head to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\bin here you'll find a file called gmad
All you need to do is drag the addon file on top of gmad.exe and it'll create a folder with everything needed to see your skin in game.
This should open a command prompt just give it a few seconds and it'll be done.
If you scroll back up to the top of your addons you should now see a folder.
Create a backup of this folder so you can access the original materials, or if you can't be bothered you could always reinstall the addon after you're finished.
You're going to want to open it up to here, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\m9k_assault_rifles_128089118\materials\models\weapons\v_models
This'll give you access to all the weapons in the pack so if you want to do it on one of the other weapons you can. For us, we're going to open up the folder called "thanez_ak". Once open replace the existing file(or files depending on what and how many parts you altered) with your textured skin. Open up or tab back into gmod and your skin should be on your weapon.
Obviously, there's much more you can do and each weapon has multiple parts, but that's for you to figure out (because I can't get my tiny brain around it yet) You may want to be careful because certain parts will cause your skin to be flipped.
OUTDATED:
Go in game and type !jobs to buy chief inspector and see whats on the job.
Overview:
Chief Inspector is a CP custom job that is ranked higher then the SWAT leader. He/she is equipped to deal with anything.
I mean can we talk about the fact that @CG l Florian is balancing on the edge of "hard working" and "insane" with his OD time? I know he has his reason to do it but still kudos. Sure he bullies me all the time but best admin as of now >.>

Robbing the bank
You can carry to 10 bars
1 bar = 4,000
TIP: carry 9 bars at once , because when you carry 10 , u are getting slower
Mugging
Maximum: 10,000$ per 1 mug TIP:
To be 100% sure the mugged guy is giving you the money
be 3 guys with pistols (cheapest gun)
and you 3 will get 100% profit
If he don't gives you money/run/kills you , its failrp
The three default laws have to always remain because if you change them it will bug the laws for anyone who joins after you did this. People who join after will not be able to see the modified laws 1-3 and it will casue a lot of arguements and pointless sits.
The reason why I specified "AOS->KOS" is becasue you should always attempt to arrest, unless your life is being endangered.
It is ideal to get all laws to only take up one line, so your laws do not fall off the board.
Just copy and paste, line by line, to get compact and refined laws which break no server rules.
/addlaw Open carry of Weapons or Raiding tools is AOS->KOS (This law covers all things from Shields to RPGs)
/addlaw Trespassing is AOS->KOS (Fairly straight foreward)
/addlaw Death threats are AOS->KOS (This makes things like Mugging and warns illegal)
/addlaw Cloaking and Disguising is AOS->KOS (Just a bit of fun really)
/addlaw Selling and Buyingweapons without a license is AOS->KOS (Just standard RP)
/addlaw CP can check you for weapons as long as they have a valid RP reason. (This is here to specify the words "Valid" and "RP")
/addlaw Protesting against the CP is AOS->KOS (Toll money is good, protesters are bad.)
/addlaw Bypassing Checkpoints and Tolls is AOS->KOS (Same as the above)
/addlaw Please remind me to do lotteries. (90% of CG players are gambling addicts and we all know this, this is useful becasue who doesn't like a lottery?)
The man reason I made this is becasue the laws are usually complete bollocks.
Firstly, this is my first guide so it's not going to be the best.
Secondly, This guide is only here to put all the money making methods together, there are other guides that go into the depths of each method that will be talked about in this guide and I will link them down below.
A basic guide to making money:
First method: Printers
Printers are the most straight forward way of making money, You spawn and printer and every minute it drops money. To spawn go into your F4 Menu > Entities > Select the printer you want to spawn. As a new player, you will have access to 3 printers: Normal | Advanced | Professional. Most jobs are allowed to spawn printers but make sure you check the rules before spawning one if you are unsure
Here is a link to @aza10119 guide to printers, It goes into depth and tells you how much money you make per hour, It's a really good guide and I highly recommend you check it out if you want to learn more about the topic!
Aza10119 Printer Guide
Second Method: Cooking Meth
This Method requires you to become a specific job, The "Meth Cook" As this job you have the access to new entities in your F4 Menu, These are what you are going to use to cook the meth. Cooking meth may seem daunting a first but it's pretty basic once you do it a couple of times it also gives a lot of money! (Meth cooks can also spawn printers and have them making money at the same time you are cooking meth)
How to cook meth:
Firstly: You are going to need a basic base set up, this is because cooking meth is illegal and you can't exactly do it in the public eye, It's also to stop greedy raiders from taking all your meth. Just search "Basic dark RP base build" on youtube to see how to set up your first base.
Secondly: Actually making the meth. Here is a youtube video on how to make meth: Meth Video. The reason I gave a youtube video is cause personally, I find it easier to learn from videos and being shown what to do rather than it being explained, But If you want me to give a guide myself then just let me know
Third: When you cook your meth it will pop out of the pot once you click on the pot when it says the meth is ready. This will stay on you even if you die, you then go sell the meth to the druggie. Here is a guide to map callouts on the server Avionix's Map callouts guide . As you can see the druggie's location is circled on the map as 6.
Some tips for making meth:
Building a base near the druggie is helpful because when you sell him your meth it will make you wanted and the Police/Swat can arrest you if they see you.
Also @xX_AgentDZ_XxHas an amazing guide that gives you all the keybinds for each meth entity, Here is the guide: Key Bind Guide
Basic info on Meth: Money: For selling 1 Meth crystal you will be paid $36,000 | Meth takes 7.5 Minutes too cook
Third Method: Moonshine Brewing
For this Method, you will have to become the "Moonshine Brewer" Job in F4 Jobs menu.
Making moonshine is pretty straight forward, All you do Spawn The Brewery and them Drop the 2 other Moonshine ingredients into it.
Moonshine Takes 3 minutes to brew and instantly gives you $6000 When done.
Moonshine Brewers can also have printers while brewing moonshine.
Fourth Method: Mining
To mine you have first goto the mine, this is in the area circled and marked as "2" on the map, also known as residentials on the map. If you still cant find it just ask another player on the street, I'm sure they would be glad to help
When you find the mine, you will see there is a NPC standing beside it, you click on this NPC and buy your pickaxe from them, this is also where you will later sell your valuable resources you have collected from mining!
You can use an autoclicker for mining but YOU CAN NOT BE AFK WHEN DOING SO. If you are caught AFK at the mine you will be punished, you can't just turn on your autoclicker and then leave your PC, you need to be at your PC if you are using autoclikcer to mine. I mine a lot when the server is a low pop, and I can tell you ADMINS/MODS REGULARYL CHECK THE MINE FOR PEOPLE AFK.
Here is a link to @i30delta mining guide! It's well made and very easy to understand i30delta Mining Guide
This is a link to the AutoClicker I use: AutoClicker. With the way mining works on cloud you have to click, then give time to find the resource. You can't just spam click basically, So if you do decide to use an autoclicker make sure you set the "Click Interval" Too 2.5 seconds, this gives enough time for a gem to be found.
Thank you for reading my guide
CloudGaming is the best DarkRP community I have been a part of and I hope you enjoy your time on the server!
Like I said this is just a basic guide, there are many more ways of making money on the server, these are just the methods you can "grind"
I want to thank all the other users for making their guides that I have linked above, make sure you give them some support for the helpful guides they have created! regul
Does every sit in a detailed manner, was the only one OD for about 1 hour today and was tanking all the sits. I can see him going high up the ranks. keep it up!
An introduction to Police RP

The Basics of Policing
Before we begin we need to understand to understand the basic role of a Police Officer. On the surface a Police Officers role is to do as the mayor tells you to and enforce the law however from an RP perspective there is much more to the story. If you are to truly get into the spirit of Police RP your role should be to adhere to the Peelian Principles; the foundations of policing. They are as follows:
To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment.
To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.
To recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws.
To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives.
To seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour, and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.
To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
To recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary, of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty.
To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.
Those principles are the very essence of policing itself and if nothing else is taken away, allow those principles to make the foundation of your Police RP experience for your fun and enjoyment and other peoples.
Powers of Policing
Powers of Arrest
As a Police Officer while roleplaying, no matter your particular role you must understand the powers you have at your disposal, for this you must first understand the Powers of arrest and grounds for an arrest. The obvious time to use your power of arrest goes without saying, though I will say it anyway, is when an offense is taking place, the second one however is rarley disused, this is to arrest for preventative measures, let us take a look at preventative measure by analyzing one of the laws. Let us start with the 3 default laws, more specifically law number one: You cannot attack civilians other than in self defense (paraphrasing.) As a Police RPer it is your duty to prevent people from breaking this rule. A big rule of Policing is that it is better to prevent things from happening rather than responding to them as it happens; in other words you must deter people from committing the offense in the first place.
To prevent this from happening you can take several measure to prevent this, but you have to risk asses:
Are they likely to commit the offence?
Do they present an immediate danger?
Is the the danger to the public?
Is there a danger to yourself?
This is three areas to consider on a basic level. An example would be you overhear a Hitman asking people to place hits on people. Under the 4 rules you can risk asses the situation:
Are they likely to commit the offence/are they committing an offense? Yes, they have offered to break law 1 in exchange for money as an illegal service.
Do they present an immediate danger? Yes, if they are offering to kill someone for money the likely have the means to do so e.g. A lethal weapon
Is the the danger to others? Yes, their target could potentially be a member of the public, a member of Law Enforcement or a member of Government, to which they could also collaterally injured a passer by.
Is there a danger to yourself? Yes, if they have the ability to injure or kill someone else they have the ability to injure or kill you.
If you can answer yes three or more of those questions you have reasonable grounds for an arrest based on law 1. Not happy enough with just that list? Want something more realistic? For those of you who like RP to the more extreme end I am happy to tell you that under The Police and Criminal Evidence act 1984 section 24 there is more grounds for an arrest based on preventative measures. I have edited number 2 and 5 to be more in keeping with the rules. The list is as followed:
Preventative Measures (Police and Criminal Evidence act 1984)
You have reasonable grounds for an arrest if:
- The person may cause injury to self or others
- The person is suffering from self inflicted injury
- The person is causing damage to property
- The person is offending public decency
- The person is causing obstruction
NOTE: This has been edited for use in DarkRP
Stop and Search
The ability to perform stop and search is one of the most useful powers a Police RPer has at their disposal. The primary purpose of stop and search powers is to enable officers to allay or confirm suspicions about individuals without excising their power of arrest. It is often debated as what consists of reasonable grounds, the official line is that an officer my perform a stop and search if they have reasonable grounds to suspect an offense is taking place, however this is a bit vague in terms of description and it is on the onus of the officer to decide what counts as reasonable grounds. When doing so try to use common sense, some examples of when a stop and search would be acceptable would be:
- A group of masked men are standing outside a house that isn't theirs
- There has been a report of robbery's in the area and a masked man runs into a shop
- You get a report of an offender who used a handgun to rob a shop in your area and a person matching their description walks past
- You have the name of someone who might be carrying something illegal and you see that person
- A masked man approaches the mayor while being aggresive
Again this is just a limited example, but this would be just some of the common sense rules to go off. When searching someone you must always tell them
Your name
The grounds for the search, What prompted you to search him e.g. matching description of an offender
The objective for the search, What you are searching for
Those three things are a persons legal right to privacy and should be adhered to for correct Police roleplay. Again if this is too basic for you we can adapt and use the real UK police protocol to conduct a search correctly; Remember always search W.I.S.E.L.Y:
-Warrant Card, present your warrant card to the individual.
-Identity, state your identity clearly to the person being searched (Bind above for none microphone users.)
-Station, state the station you are attached to (in this case is Cloud Gaming Police Station.)
-Entitlement, inform the individual he has an entitlement to a search record or to complain to the government if the search is not conducted correctly or to legal standards.
-Legal power used, inform the individual the law used to search them (Police and Criminal Evidence act Section 1/Mayors law if applicable) grounds for the search and the objective of the search.
-You are detained for the purpose of this search.
NOTE: This has been edited for use in DarkRP.
Use of Force
Criminal law act 1967 "A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstance in the prevention of crime." That is the guideline given by UK legislation and is pretty effective to convert into a roleplay element. Force should be used in an appropriate setting where necessary. Your number one objective should be to protect the life of the general public, secondary should be to protect your own.
less-than-lethal force
There are several circumstances where it would be appropriate to use less-than-lethal force, an example of reasons are the following:
A person is causing obstruction, if you are able to move him without an arrest it is advisable to do so.
To enforce a Police cordon, this will be disused further, however if you can get them out of the cordon area without an arrest, do so.
To deter an approach, if you are guarding an individual or an area you may use less-than-lethal force to deter their approach to area/person
In response to invasion of personal space, if someone is entering your personal space and reaction gap you may use less-than-lethal force to move them back
Again with use of less than lethal force use common sense, if it is uneeded to use less than lethal force then do not use it, if it risks escalating the situation then do not use it. If you find that the situation naturally escalates then refer to my next guideline.
Lethal Force
Use of lethal force is quite simple, you may use lethal force if you believe there is a danger to life, be it your own or others. Lethal force is quite simple to asses, you can use the Yes, Maybe, No. We can categorize what situations fit into where.
Yes - The suspect is confirmed to have a lethal weapon on him and is failing to comply with instructions given/is actively committing an offense.
Maybe - The suspect is fleeing from a scene/matches the description of an armed suspect and is failing to comply with a stop and search or instructions and it is unknown if they are armed.
No - The suspect is known not to have a weapon on him or the suspect is following instructions even if armed.
An office is authorized to shoot if the answer is yes or maybe, if the answer it maybe it is advised the officer uses discretion before opening fire on the suspect an either give time for the suspect to comply with instructions or change the maybe from a yes. If you reasonably believe the suspect has potential to cause injury or kill you or others you may use lethal force in defense of yourself or the general public.
Police Cordon
The police cordon is a simple but effective measure of containing incidents/suspects, but it is also useful for preventing the general public from interfering with Police operations, hindering police progress or potentially getting injured or killed. A police cordon should:
- Contain the suspects
- Block of the area of Police operation to the general public
- Be enough distance away from the operation area so as to prevent injury to members of the public
- Prevent members of the public/suspects observing police movements to prevent potential spotting and information leaks
- Be clearly visable
- Be manned by regular Police Officers while S.W.A.T Conduct the operation
- Be split into an outer and inner cordon
A cordon will make Police operations that much easier to conduct as it will prevent civilians from interfering, will prevent attack from outside elements or at least give the operational officers enough warning to react to it, and will prevent innocent people from being injured by potential spray bullets.
When manning a cordon it is important you split into 2 groups:
Cordon Officers, who's responsibility is to man to cordon and prevent people entering the cordon area
Operation Officers, who;s responsibility is to conduct the raid/operation inside the cordon area
The operational officers will likely already know their goal as it will more than likely be a raid or other area operation, so it is important the Cordon Officers know what is expected of them. The Cordon Officer job will likely be undertake by Police, with occasional S.W.A.T support with rot shield, due to not being correctly equipped for hard entry raid scenarios. When manning the cordon there are 3 golden rules to follow:
Under no circumstance can any none Law Enforcement enter the operation area
Do not allow bystanders to get to much information from observation
Do not allow bystanders to get to much information out of you
Number 1 is a given, however number 2 and 3 are often overlooked but are just as important the sort of information they are able to observe is police positions, weapons, numbers etc. This is highly useful information for any defender to have and you do not know who is passing this information to the defenders, so don't let them get it. As for information they could get out of you this could be tactics you are discussing e.g. "we'll drop the ransomed money and arrest him when he comes out to collect it" or "We will send in a medic to check the hostage who will secretly give the hostage a gun." Even telling people what exactly you are hoping to get inside a base will give any defender knowledge on what he needs to hide or destroy to cover up their offence and avoid arrest. Think before you talk and if anyone asks just inform them that there is a Police operation underway.
With cordon officers, assuming there is enough of you, you can be split down even further into 3 roles each with their own responsibility:
- Defender. The job of a defender is to be stationed on the cordon and stay there despite what might be going on outside the cordon, it is your job to make sure no one gets past and follow the 3 golden rules
- Chaser. They will be stationed on the cordon but will leave the cordon in the event that someone attempts to bait the police or a criminal offense is taking place in view outside of the cordon, your job will to be to arrest the defender or otherwise chase them as far away as to not present danger or obstruction to the operation
- Cordon Manager. Your job will to be to ensure all others are performing their role, you will be responsible for liaising with the operational officers to find out how far the operation is into it's time and how long it will be until the operation officers exit the building after all suspects are eliminated or detained, you will also be praising you officers and helping when they are a man short due to a chaser performing his name sake. This job should be done by the Chief of Police.
Finally it is important to know when to use a cordon, there is no one answer for this but again, use common sense. A list of examples are as followed:
Building raid
The Bank/PD is being raided
Extended operations in an area
Hostage situation
There is a danger to those inside an area
There is a danger to those who enter an area
Again there is no one rule but use common sense and use the guidelines to do so effectively. Always assume you will never have enough officers to man a full cordon and prioritize as best you can based on potential threat to you and your operation.

Why PoliceRP?
I find that there seems to be a lack of competent RP in all areas, not just policing, but the lack of RP in policing is most noticeable and important. If all Police Officers were to put in more effort while RPing it would be an overall more enjoyable experience for everyone, not only cutting on admin time having to deal with constant calls of RDM and FailRP. I'm not suggesting for a moment to turn this into a serious RP server as the exaggerate aspects are what I enjoy about DarkRP, I am just suggesting we do not shun the importance of role play, more specifically performing our role to one side for enjoyment.
I do hope this guide has at very least gives enough detail and helps give some people guidance as to how to play the Police Service better and enhance their own and everyone else's RP experience.
If there is anything I have missed out, you want me to adress or otherwise have questions about please leave a comment, message me in game or on the forum and I will be happy to help.
Kindest Regards,
Henry West.
"Declined, its up to the player how he wants to approach the situation."
Also, @AESOP DOOM how are you planning on warning them if you're a sniper on a roof like a hotel, you don't know their name plus am pretty sure you can't 'pm @' so you won't know their name, pretty impossible no?

I cannot say how proud I m of these guys they helped me out so much when the server was going to chaos with 84 players making reports other staff members also helped a lot and I would like to thank every single one of them i know I made one of these not too long ago but I had to! I love you all @NightBlade @Turtle @warm choccoy @SaherAFx and more can't thank you enough!
Doing this completely negates the purpose of CP. It's in the name for fucks sake. Civil PROTECTION. You cannot protect if you must wait. If someone is seen as a threat you do not wait. Putting this into real life. If you see someone who is holding a rifle and looks like he has a bomb strapped to his chest. Do you wait for him to shoot someone before you act? Of course you don't thats retarded
Was that rule added to add rp right? If rp is the number one priority for CP job rules why would you allow a man who is clearly a threat, shoot civilians when you could take the shot? Seems a bit bonkers to allow the people in which you are hired to protect die before you can protect them
