Title: A contraband refund system for if the server crashes.
Description: It would almost be a clone of the restoreprops system which we already have. It would periodically save data about what contraband each player has, so that if the server crashes you may retrieve your contraband when you rejoin.
It would work as follows:
- Every 1 minute or so (just like restore props), the system would automatically save values for the number of money printers, drug labs & maybe weed pots you own.*
- You may also manually trigger this save with the /savecontra command.
- After a server crash, you rejoin and type /restorecontra and it uses the previously saved data to give you back your lost contraband. Instead of the contra re-appearing in the world where it was previously (since this could cause issues if you no longer own the building or whatever), it would appear in your inventory under the "Contraband" section.**
Additional ideas/comments: Please discuss these points in your replies.
* - This could either save only your own contra (max=2 printers,5 labs) or it could include all stolen contra as well (unlimited).
** - To prevent people hoarding contraband in their inventory, a 30 minute timer could be implemented in which you must place your contraband down again else it will be wiped out of your inventory.
Why: People hate losing contraband to server crashes, and the admins always get asked to refund it to people, but we can't because there's not proof of what you had.
