PERP Guide

Step 1 | Roleplay Name

When you first log onto the server, you will be prompted to enter a desired roleplay name. This includes a first and last name. Please take these things into consideration when creating your roleplay name:

• You cannot use names of famous people.

• You cannot use fail names.

  • Fail names include: Ben Dover, Iam Awesome, Chuck Norris, Hannah Montana, Bob Saget, Jabba Dahutt, Nick Ger, Nick Gar, etc. If you need help with checking if your name is allowed, feel free to send in a !report. A staff member will help you with this. ​

Step 2 | Rules

Now that you have your name picked, I recommend you read the rules. Reading the rules will give you a better understanding of how the server works, and how to not break rules, and not get into trouble. If you have any questions, you can use !report to ask a question. The rules can be found here.

A major rule I will go over here is metagaming. Make sure you talk in-game, either chat or voice. Third party programs such as Discord, Teamspeak, Ventrillo, etc are not allowed. Please take note of this.

Step 3 | Controls

F1 - This menu is mainly now used for options, as most of the other things can be done in the F2 menu.

F2 - This will open your inventory page, your equipped items, and will also allow you to see mixtures, your skills, and your genetics.

F3 - This menu will open your organization page, (or your chief/mayor menu).

F4 - This will open your buddies list, if you add a player to your buddies list, they will be able to use your keys on anything you own, including doors, cars, props, etc.

R - This button will be used to start up your engine.

vcmod (in console) - Typing this in console will open up your controls page for your vehicle.

T - As a police officer, this button will toggle your radio. If the image appears in the top left of your screen, you are speaking in the radio.

CTRL + M - These two buttons, if hit at once will mute/unmute your radio.

Step 4 | Genetics/Hospital/Skills

To begin, you should probably set your genetics. Press F2 to open up your inventory, and on the top, press "Genetics". For beginners, I recommend Intelligence 1, Dexterity 1, and Regeneration 1. The remaining two points can be used for whatever you want. To craft certain items, you need certain genetics. In the mixture menu, it will show what genetics you need to craft an item. Intelligence 1 and Dexterity 1 is mainly used for drugs. You need these two genes to grow. Regeneration, is what the name is, you regenerate health. Purchasing or resetting genetics can be done at the hospital. You can have up to 10 genetics, each genetic to add costs more than the one previously. The first one is $5,000. Resetting genes can also be done at the hospital, in this case, all your genetic points will be reset, and you can reapply your points. However, this costs $5,000. At the hospital, you can also talk to the NPC for a job as a paramedic (you need hours to become one). Lastly, at the hospital, the NPC next to the ATM will help you with healing yourself or fixing your legs. Please note that this only works IF there is NO medic online. As for skills, you can view them through the F2 menu, and going to skills. Skills start as level 1, and the more you do something or something happens, the higher it will go. 

Step 5 | Roleplaying using /me (for actions)

Next up, we'll go over how to roleplay with /me. /me is a crucial part to a roleplayer. You must use /me for items that aren't automatic anymore. If you do not do so, you will get in trouble for it. When doing any action, like taking out a lockpick, you must use /me. For example, /me takes lockpick out from jacket, etc. You can setup binds in console using "bind (key) (action)".

Step 6 | Protection

You can't really have any basic cade, without a physgun (consider donating for one, Diamond is really worth it.) I recommend buying an apartment, or motel, or a place at Tides, and see if you can buy a gun and gun cabinet from someone. A gun, to obviously protect yourself, and a gun cabinet, for a place to take your weapon out. If you pull your weapon out without having a valid place, like a gun cabinet, it will be considered ass pulling, which is against the rule. Same thing goes with putting a weapon away without a valid place to put it away, which is known as ass shoving.

Step 7 | Making Money

So, you're probably wondering on how you can make money. I would recommend starting up with drugs. They are cheap, easy to maintain, and make a good chunk of profit. As a normal player, you can have 5 cocaine plants and 5 weed plants. First, go to the back of apartments, and talk to the NPC. Ask if he has anything to sell, same goes with the NPC at the park. They cycle what they buy and sell. These two NPCs are also the NPCs that you will use to sell back your drugs. The one at the park is for cocaine, and the one behind apartments is for weed. After buying pots and seeds, find somewhere to live. Either go to Country BP or Bank of America, and talk to the Property Manager. Buy a place, for beginners I would usually recommend Tides or Apartments. To start growing, place a seed, and a pot on top of the seed, and a timer will start. Hovering over it will show you how long you have left. Another method is bitcoin miners. These aren't that good, atleast for the first tier. I have yet to test the Bitcoin Miner  Tier 2. Another method is mining, again this makes pretty good money, but requires some background knowledge. I have yet to learn mining, so when I do so, I will add to this. Lastly, jobs, you can become a government official and earn more money as a salary. The Mayor adjusts their budget based on taxes, and changes salary for each job. Basic jobs you can do include Fire Fighter, EMS, and Police Officer. All jobs have time requirements, and if you're new, I recommend asking to ride with someone; that way you can learn the ropes. Another method is going to the casino. As of writing this, each roll costs $150, and you pretty much always make profit. This is a great beginner method for getting money. You can view a bitcoin guide for bitracks here. Please note you must be signed in on the forums. While you're there, make a forums account.

Step 8 | How To Craft

Crafting in PERP is pretty straight forward. First, open your F2 menu and head to mixtures. In this example, say you want to craft a glock. First, looking at the glock in the F2 menu, we see that a glock requires Intelligence 2, Perception 1, Dexterity 2, and Crafting Level 1. Crafting Level 1 is a skill, and all skills start at 1. So, if you have Intelligence 2, Perception 1, Dexterity 2, you will be able to craft this. Now, above it, it says that to create it, you will need x1 Metal Polish, x2 Piece of Metal, and x1 Paint Bucket. You would need to go to Ace Hardware and purchase the required materials. Then, go to a place you OWN, and you can left click on it, to craft it, and pick it up by pressing E. Please note that you are only allowed to craft in places that you own.
