Guide to common DarkRP jobs.

Welcome!
So, you want to play DarkRP? But, you don't know what to do there? Well, fear not! This guide will help you stay alive there, and have a nice time on every server you get.
Let's get started!
The Basics
Before you play, you need to know some things: like read the rules. You MUST know what is forbidden.
When you join a server for a first time, type in chat: /help
This will make the help screen appear. Then, write down ALL of these commands. Don't worry, you will start to remember most of them, after some time playing. Also, bind your F4 key to open the game's menu. To bind the key, type in console (activate it in the advanced options of the controls options) bind f4 "gm_showspare2". Of course you can use diffrent key than F4.
Once you do it, you're ready!



This is your main menu. When you press F4 (or any other key if you changed it) It will appear.
In the menu you can:
- Give/drop some money. (to pay for stuff.)
- Buy health. (ALLWAYS 60$! NO MATTER HOW HURT YOU ARE!)
- Change your name. (Some servers require that.)
- Go to sleep. (Cosmetical. You wake up by pressing the same button.)
- Drop the weapon you're holding.
- Request a gun license. (Buying a gunlicense is a legit way to get forbidden weapons. Aim at the Civil protection player and press the button to do it.)
- Demote a player. (Police guy has went on a snack, while THE CITY IS UNDER CONTROL OF THE MOB BOSS? Aim at him and press the button. Write the reason and a vote will be started. If it succedes, the player that does his job wrong will be returned to a civilian job.)
- Sell all of your doors. (We will talk about it later.)



This is the job menu. To access it, press the "Jobs" card on the top of the menu.
Here you can select the job you want. It will also say what bonus items you will get, how you will look etc.



This is the shop menu. To access it, press the "Entities/Weapons" card on the top of the menu.
Here you can buy weapons, ammo and objects for in-game money. There are also money/metal/gem printers that give you money over time. Totaly awesome eh? too bad that printers are illegal.

New Life Rule
When you die, you will respawn, BUT, you can't come back to a place where you died for at least 3 minutes (Diffrent servers = Diffrent times) Also, if somebody killed you, you can't kill him. Why? Because you don't remember him! Well, you came back to life, but you will stay dead for as long as you don't press anything, so you can build some tension to your death.

Pockets
Pockets are your most important tool when it comes to selling things. pressing left mouse button will put an object in your pockets, while right mouse button will take out the latest object from your pockets. Use pockets to transport drugs, weapons and stuff past the police and other peeps.

Gravity and Phys Gun
Gravity gun (orange) is for world props (objects from the store, bought from the chat: /Buymicrowave and props that were already on the map)
While the phys gun is for objects you spawn.
The Work
We finaly came to Jobs. Each Job has a diffrent salary (amount of money that is given to you on a payday) that may be diffrent in other servers, so I didn't list them. More important jobs will need a vote to allow you to do them. Let's start with the most basic one:



The Civilian
You are basic guy. You don't get anything special. You just hope that you won't get shot in the face. Don't want to do anything? Make a home and do stuff as this guy.




Civil Protection
The police, most important man on streets. Right next to that bartender.
As him, you will need to keep the city clean from cirme. Use your arrest baton to send people to jail. REMEMBER: You can't send players to jail just because they are a thief. You must see them breaking the law (Like lockpicking or attacking). To release someone (oops sorry man), go to the prison, get the unarrest baton and hit them.
You will also get:
- A pistol (may vary)
- Stun stick (Bashing a guy with it will desorientate him. You can use it to warn people that they are breaking the law.)
- Battering ram (bashes the locked door in and unfreezes props),
- Keypad cracker (opens the fading door locked with a keypad, it takes some time, so watch out.)
- Weapon checker (check people for illegal weapons).
To make a player wanted (DAMN BATON WONT WORK) type in chat: /wanted and a name of the player (eg: /wanted Jo Brown).
Want to use the battering ram? Get a search warrant first. type in chat: /warrant and again, name of a player you want to check.
Also, if there isn't Civil protection chief or Mayor in game, you can give other players gun licenses.
Simply, aim at a player, open the menu and press: "Give gun license to the player you are looking at" if a guy asks you first, a window will appear on the left. Simply open the menu and press yes or no.
If you do poorly as a police, you can be demoted.




Chief of the Civil Protection
Same as the Civil Protection, but you will probably spawn with a better gun. You are also higher in rank, so only you (If mayor job is still unocuppied) can give gunlicenses.




The Mayor
The owner of the town. Most important man in the whole game.
Mayor spawns with a unarrest stick.
You can make a law by typing in chat /addlaw followed with the description.
Remember, laws can't allow for breaking the server's rulers, or override with pernament laws (eg: making money printers legal)
You can also put law boards on buildings, so players can see the current laws. To do that, type in chat: /placelaws
When a player asks somebody a gun license, only you can allow for that. When a window appears on the left, open your menu and decide, either to give him the gun license, or ignore him.
Want to make a lottery? No problemo! type in chat /lottery proceded by amount of money citizens need to pay to participate. Winner gets pooled money of all those who have entered.
Sh*t hit the fan? type in the chat /lockdown to lock the city. All players (with exception of army, police and mayor) need to stay in home. If police sees anyone outside, they must arrest him. To end a lockdown, type in chat: /unlockdown




The Cook
This job is only useful, when hunger mod is enabled. When it's enabled? when you see a blue bar under your health that is!
As the cook you can buy microwaves by typing /Buymicrowave. microwaves spawn food for a price. you can sell that food to other players for money. Eating food will recover hunger, when the hunger bar is empty, you will start losing health, until you die.
Make a simple shop, and you're ready to make cash!




The Hitman
Someone pissed you off? Someone stole your diamond printer? SOMEONE WRECKED YOUR GUN SHOP?! Time to dispose of him. That's your job as the hitman. players will send you messages by typing /write followed with your name, target's name and a reason for a hit.
(eg: /write The Cleaner DatMan he is a dangerous guy) To accept it, type in:
/advert Hit Accepted.
After killing the target, type in:
/advert Hit Complete.
Then go to the guy that ordered you to kill, to get the money.
If you died type in:
/advert Hit Failed.
After that, YOU CANNOT KILL THE TARGET ANYMORE. Well, unless you get another message to kill him.
You spawn with weapons. What weapons? Well, that warries from a server to server. A silenced pistol, a shotgun, a sniper rifle...




The Gangster
As a Gangster, you work for a Mob boss. In the top left corner, messages from Boss appear.
You don't have any equipment, so you must buy it yourself. If you commit crimes without an approval of the boss, you can be demoted.




The Mob Boss
You are the king of Crime. Write orders to your Gangsters by typing /agenda followed by an order. You also spawn with an unarrest stick and a lockpick, which is used to open locked doors.




The Thief
You work alone, break into other player's houses and stores and steal everything precious.
You spawn with a lockpick and a keypad cracker.




The Medic
You heal people. That's it.
You spawn with a medkit (which looks like a badly made red cross).
While holding it, press left mouse button to heal player in front of you, an right mouse button to heal yourself.
You can make a hospital and charge people for healing.




The Gun Dealer
Supply the town with weapons for killing those idiots! self defence!
To buy a gun shipment, open the shop and select one of the many shipments.
Each shipment comes with 10 weapons. They cost a lot, so you better do some math and tactics, to sell those guns for some nice cash. To get a weapon from a shipment, press use button.
Once in a while the police can come to your shop to check for illegal weapons.
If they find any, you're screwed.
You can also buy a gun lab by typing /Buygunlab . Gun lab spawns P228 pistols for money. this may be your basic gun to sell, because, it doesn't cost much, and it's unlimited.




The Black Market Dealer
Most risky job, because you can't set a shop in public, you must do it in some shady place.
You can spawn illegal gun shipments AND illegal item shipments like:
- Lockpicks
- Keypad crackers
- Unarrest sticks
etc.




The Drug Dealer
Another risky job, buy drug shipments and sell them. Once again, you can't set a shop in public.
Drugs do various effects here's the list of drugs that you can sell:
- Alcohol
- Cigarettes
- Cocaine
- Marijuana
- Heroin
- Mushrooms
- Aspirin
- LSD
You can also sell water, which is used to cure drug effects.

And finaly...



The Hobo
This is a Joke job.
You don't get any salary, you must beg for money, you can't own a home, and you can throw fecal matter on people and buildings, but you can get arrested for it. Also, mayor may order to shoot every hobo in the city!
The House
Got a job? Time to set up a house for you and your workplace.
To get a safe home, look at an unowned door and press F2. You will buy the door (usually it will be around 30$). It's yours! Now, you can use the keys to lock your door and vice versa. You can also use the building for work, build a shop, hospital, secret gangster meeting place, a bar, whatever you want to do! Decorate your house/workstation and remember to buy a guard to protect it! Leaving the house/building? remember to clean up the place and sell all your doors by pressing F2 while looking at them!
e curious...

- Buy printers away from the other players! That way, cops won't send you to jail, and people won't steal from it. But remember to hide it in a safe place.

- Take/Give bribes! Someone caught you? pay them to keep their mouth shut. You can also do that with cops!
