Hey everyone, here’s a rundown of what’s been happening behind the scenes at BritishRP. I have been working on a mix of custom and heavily modified systems to make sure everything runs smoothly, integrates well, and adds depth to the city.
Here’s what’s been done so far
Player-Owned Shops – Shops can now be purchased through the Chamber of Commerce (CoC). Each store has specific stock limitations, meaning only certain items can be sold depending on the type of shop (Why would you have an LS Drill in a liquor store!?) Shop owners have access to a full business UI, allowing them to manage their stock levels, pricing, and finances. - I am currently working on an ordering system so you can order stock, and either yourself, or a friend go to collect it, however this may not be the most financially beneficial method of gaining stock, mining, crafting & panning will all play huge roles in maintaining profit in your shop.
Player-Owned Dealerships – Dealerships are now a CoC-controlled asset, allowing players to purchase and run specialized vehicle dealerships (supercars, luxury vehicles, trucks, etc.). The system is structured with a persistent database, meaning stock is properly tracked, and owners can control pricing and purchases dynamically, there is absolutely no self service, buying a vehicle is an RP-Heavy scenario.
Custom Mining System – Built entirely from scratch, the mining system allows players to extract resources such as Coal, Iron, Lead, Copper and more. This isn't a shitty copy and paste resource like some servers opt to use and claim it's revolutionary I shall name no names... however the system I built is reminiscent of the mining I assume everyone currently here is familiar with. Some materials require refining before they’re useful (more on that below).
Player-Owned Business Management – The backend for business management has been completely rewritten, giving owners full control over their employees, wages, stock, and financials.
Casino System – The casino is now live, featuring Slots, Blackjack, Three-Card Poker, and Horse Racing. The system is designed to be server-authoritative, meaning all game logic is handled server-side to prevent exploits and ensure fairness, the house edge for blackjack is approximately 2%
Custom Backpack & Storage System – A fully custom inventory expansion system has been added. Backpacks now provide 30kg of additional storage and are physically visible on your character when worn. For bulk transport, large storage boxes (250kg capacity) can be used—perfect for miners needing to move materials efficiently - your pockets can handle 50kg of weight, for reference.
Next Up - This is what I'm working on today (04 Feb 25)
Player Owned Mechanic Shops – We’re finalizing the player-owned mechanic system, allowing players to own and operate their own repair shop with proper stock, pricing, and employee management, if you've been a mechanic in any other city, let me assure you this will blow your mind, game changer.
Custom Smelting System – Work begins on a fully custom-built smelting system that will allow players to process raw ores into usable materials for crafting or selling. This will integrate directly with the mining system, adding another layer of depth to the economy, you'll need to find out in RP who needs these materials, but there will almost always be someone looking to purchase.
That’s it for now! As always, feedback is appreciated, and we’re excited to keep pushing BritishRP forward. Stay tuned for more updates!
