Rules GTA RP Eclipse RP
Account Ownership and Responsibility
All players are expected to ensure that their account, IP address, Social Club, and hardware are not used to break the server rules. In cases where an Internet network or hardware is shared between multiple players (ex.: family members, friends), and one player breaks the server rules, it can cause the entire shared network and hardware to be banned until the banned player successfully appeals their punishment.
Game accounts for Eclipse Roleplay cannot have their ownership transferred through either trade or gifting. Players may not share their accounts with others under any circumstances. Players are responsible for what occurs on their accounts.
| Punishment: Anything from a warning to a permanent ban depending on the context and severity of the situation. For linked accounts, if it can be proven that two or more individuals are different, unban is possible if the initial ban did not occur automatically. |
Character Creation and Property
Character Names
Character names must be realistic, must not resemble real-world names or famous people. For example, James_Smith would be an acceptable name, and Brad_Pitt would not. This also applies to troll names, such as Ben_Dover. Adding random characters to an existing name in order for you to use a similar name is not acceptable, for example, if James_Smith exists, you should not create James_Smiith.
| Punishment: Anything from a verbal warning to an indefinite ban depending on the number of occurrences, the willingness to understand from the player, and the context of the situation. The player will also be given a name change for free by the handling staff member. |
Scamming & Deception
Players are allowed to scam and deceive each other In-Character as there are In-Character consequences that can be explored through Law Enforcement. In the event that a player is caught by Law Enforcement, they may have debt imposed on them by the San Andreas State Government and/or have assets removed.
Players are not allowed to scam or deceive players Out-of-Character for their assets. For example, a player cannot deceive a player in an Out-of-Character chat by claiming that they are not going to scam them, or by telling them to test a command to knowingly steal assets from them. Players should however not try to reaffirm Out-of-Character that a player won’t scam them, as this would be an insinuation of metagaming.
| Punishment: Anything from a verbal warning to an indefinite ban and removal of the involved assets, depending on the context of the situation, the severity of it, and the willingness of the player to understand the issue. |
Transfer of Assets Between Own Characters
Players are not allowed to transfer any assets of any value between their own characters without an approved transfer request. Information about transfer requests can be found here: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/forum/70-refund-and-transfer-requests/
Players should also not assist with transferring assets without making sure that the player they are helping has a transfer request approved. They can get such confirmation by asking a staff member or by asking the player for a screenshot.
| Punishment: Anything from a verbal warning to an indefinite ban and removal of account assets, depending on the context of the situation, the severity of it, and the willingness of the player to understand the issue. |
Transfer of Assets to Other Players
Players are not allowed to transfer assets to other players without proper In-Character motive, whether the transfer is a trade or loan. This means that you for example cannot gift all of your account assets away because you’re taking a break and/or leaving the community.
Players are not allowed to gift away the majority of their assets. This does not include such as event raffles, event giveaways, or giveaways in general, as these situations will not involve the majority of one’s assets.
| Punishment: Anything from a verbal warning to an indefinite ban and removal of account assets, depending on the context of the situation, the severity of it, and the willingness of the player to understand the issue. |
Real World Trading
Players are under no circumstances allowed to attempt or otherwise insinuate the trade of game assets for assets outside of the server, such as real-life money, games, game skins, and more. This includes Eclipse Roleplay store credits; players cannot gift players credit and receive game assets in return for those credits.
Hacking and Exploits
Hacking/Cheating
Players are not allowed to have and/or use mods, trainers, or any kind of software that gives them an advantage, also known as 3rd party modifications. For example, players should not use aim cheats or visual cheats,
| Punishment: Indefinite to Permanent Ban. |
Modifying Game Files to Gain Unfair Advantages
Players are not allowed to modify their game files to gain unfair advantages over other players. Such as (but not limited to):
- removing graphical aspects of the game which you otherwise can’t remove through the game settings, which allows you to e.g. see players better. You can’t for example remove vegetation/other objects outside of what the in-game settings allow, or remove shadows completely. In other terms, we do not allow PVP graphic settings, it is an RP server. GTA 5 has a vast selection of graphic settings for players to optimize their game to ensure a smooth gameplay experience. Visual Enhancement Mods such as QuantV and NVE are not disallowed if you want to increase your graphics beyond what the game allows, as this does not provide any unfair advantages.
- modifying handling files of cars to make them handle different than intended, whether it’s speed, acceleration, turning, etc.
- replacing e.g. vehicles and weapons with mods that directly give you an unfair advantage, e.g. enlarged weapons, vehicles, etc.
- replacing gun sound mods with more distinct sounds that could grant circumstantial advantages e.g. reaction time, being able to hear clearer over certain weather conditions, etc.Punishment: Anything from a verbal warning, to an indefinite/permanent ban depending on the severity of the modifications, and the context of it.
Exploiting
Players may not abuse server bugs or unintended server mechanics to their own advantage, it should be reported as a Server Bug in the Bug Reports section: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/forum/5-bug-reports/. For more sensitive server bugs, such as potential money exploits, players may want to report the bug to a staff member directly at their own discretion.
Example of unintended mechanics/bugs:
- Robbing ATMs through walls.
- Glitching through objects using animations.
- Glitching out of the world.
- Etc.
| Punishment: Anything from a warning to a permanent ban depending on the severity and context of the situation, as well as the number of occurrences. Exploits involving assets will also result in said assets being removed from the account(s) involved. |
Macroing
Players may not exploit server scripts in any way, such as circumventing our AFK timer through the use of macros and/or other conventional methods such as applying a rubber band to a controller. In general, players may not automate actions through the use of a macro unless it’s specifically approved by staff, examples of approved use of macros:
Text Macros for Roleplay that do not affect others.
Note Drawing script.
| Punishment: Anything from a warning to a permanent ban depending on the severity and context of the situation, as well as the number of occurrences. Macroing involving assets will also result in said assets being removed from the account(s) involved. |
Disrupting Server Operations and Knowledge of Rule Breaches
Disrupting Server Operations
Disrupting Server Operations is a broad term used for several rules that affect the general operation of the community, its staff, and players.
Players are expected to always strive to be positive community members who remain respectful to everyone at all times. With positivity, we mean that players should strive to adhere to rules, strive to become better roleplayers, strive to help others, and not maliciously go out of their way to ruin somebody’s experience in the community, whether it’s a staff member or player.
Eclipse Roleplay does not condone any form of Out of Character intimidation to keep players from playing on our server through e.g., OOC harassment or through other means with the focus of making one’s experience poor.
Players are not allowed to:
- Directly or knowingly involve themselves in situations where doxxing (leak of personal information) or harassment is occurring of community members/staff.
- Directly or knowingly involve themselves in situations where cyber threats such as DDoS of ECRP Platforms and/or community members/staff and account thefts are occurring
- Directly or knowingly involve themselves in situations where cheats or malicious media content is being distributed.
- Directly or knowingly involve themselves in situations where severe rule breaks such as Mass Deathmatching, Mass Metagaming, Cheating, etc, are occurring.
Failure to Report Rule breaks
Players are expected to report severe rule breaks that they witness and/or have information of, failing to do so may make them complicit in the rule breaks.
Eclipse Roleplay is not out to ruin friendships; however, players have a choice on what they involve themselves in and a choice of what information they withhold, but that choice may also have consequences.
Players are expected to report severe rule breaks such as:
- Cheating
- Ban Evading
- Mass Metagaming/DM
- Harassment of Community Members/Staff
- Cyber-threats/attacks
- And other malicious and intentional rule breaks that are normally planned in e.g., private chats.
Both Disrupting Server Operations and Failure to Report Rule Breaks involve a lot of common sense, if a player deems a situation to be bad, it’d be in their best interest to potentially involve staff than ignore it. Having e.g., knowledge of a potential staff security issue should be reported and not ignored.
| Punishment: Anything from a verbal warning to a permanent ban. These situations are not black and white and there is often a lengthy staff investigation into them. The severity of the punishment will primarily revolve around the context and severity of the situation, the occurrences, and other factors will be taken into account such as the individual’s standing in the community and so forth. |
Circumventing Bans (Ban Evading)
Bans from community areas such as discord, game, and forums, should not be circumvented in any way. Players are expected to submit ban appeals if they have an active ban that they wish to appeal.
| Punishment: Indefinite or Permanent Ban depending on the context and severity of the situation, number of occurrences, the player’s willingness to cooperate, and the player’s standing in the community prior. |
Server Advertising
Players are not allowed to advertise other roleplay communities/servers on any of Eclipse Roleplay platforms, this also includes discussing them as that could be considered indirectly advertising.
| Punishment: Indefinite or Permanent Ban depending on the context and severity of the situation, and the number of occurrences. These situations will be investigated by staff and players who are deemed to have no malicious intent or intent to directly advertise will simply be spoken to initially. |
Ruleplaying
Ruleplaying is a term used when players are using, manipulating, or interpreting rules or rulings falsely or outside of their intention, in an unrealistic or unintended way that does not constitute quality or realistic RP standards.
Some examples of ruleplaying:
- In a criminal chase, driving at slow speeds knowing that your pursuers are unable to attack you because they can’t deliver demands.
- Walking into a hostile situation with your hands up, knowing your backup is hiding, in order to bait deathmatching rights.
- Taunting e.g., an enemy at a public place (e.g. fishing pier) knowing that they can’t retaliate at said public location, effectively showing no fear for your safety.
Each situation will be reviewed and dealt with as case by case basis by staff, the examples above are not precise and there could be realistic context to someone’s actions.
