During the month of December, Christmas decorations and special scripts and events are put in place.
Snow is falling, and for a time, coating the map. This increases the driving danger due to our offroad/road hazard script. So drive careful and slow it down.
Map Wide Decor
During the month of December, we activate one or more map wide Christmas themed decoration packs. These will go away for the year at some point in January. But they’ll return the next year!
Candy Cane Hunt
Keep your eyes peels for candy canes located in various areas around the region. Use the third-eye to pick up each one you find. Candy canes will respawn after a certain amount of time and can be in different places at different times.
You can cash those candy canes in with Mrs. Thornhill in Legion Square, marked on the map with a red letter C. Use third eye to interact with her.
Cashing in 5 candy canes will get you a small giftbox. Open that gift box from your inventory and you could get candy or Christmas themed drink items, there’s even a chance to get 1,000 casino chips.
Cashing in 10 candy canes will get you a medium giftbox. Open that gift box from your inventory and you could get kitchen related small appliances or an outdoor grill, there’s even a chance to get 5,000 casino chips.
Cashing in 20 candy canes will get you a large giftbox. Open that gift box from your inventory and you could get a TV remote, a snowman, igloo, Christmas tree, a hot tub, a kitchen stove, or 10,000 casino chips.
You can cash in casino chips at the Diamond Casino for cash. You can use the Christmas decorations, hot tub, appliances, grill, and stove at your house if you own one (not starter apartments).
If you get something you don’t really want, use the marketplace on your phone to post the items for sale and/or trade.
Christmas Present Hunt
Christmas presents are hidden all around the map for you to find. If you find one, press E to collect it’s contents. You can find things such as Christmas decoration items you can use to decorate your home/business and holiday themed drink/food items.
Character to Character Gift Giving
Use the command /gift to open the menu for packaging up a gift with items from your inventory that you can then place down somewhere for another player to find and open. The gift text is where you can put who the gift is for and who it is from. “Bobby Flay for Onyx” for example
Add items from your inventory and “place a gift” to complete the gift packaging and place it down.
The gift will be placed where you are standing when you open/complete the menu. You can place these anywhere, so keep it neat and in proper places. Place them near someone’s home, business, their Christmas tree, etc.
If you’ve placed it in the wrong spot, or made some other mistake, simply pick it back up, yourself and the gift will disappear and the item(s) will be returned to your inventory. Once someone presses E next to the gift, they will take it’s contents. These are not protected from thieves, so place accordingly.
Character Placed Decorations
Characters can place their own decorations that include snowmen, Christmas trees, and igloos. These can be placed virtually anywhere, so keep them in spots that make sense. Only place decorations on your own property (house/business). Admins will remove anything that’s in the way if we find it.
In order to place decorations, you need to either buy all of the items needed at a Christmas store, find the items, or craft some of the items.
Christmas trees can be located around the map and cut down and the hidden Christmas presents around the map may contain decoration items.
Snow must be collected by pressing H on the keyboard in order to craft igloos, snowmen, and snowballs for throwing. You can use the Christmas crafting menu by using the /christmas command.
Once you have crafted a snowball, it can be thrown at other players.
Once you’ve crafted a snowman, you can “use” it from your inventory to place it where you are currently standing. It should place facing your character head on. Remove it with the /removesnowman command. It will NOT return to your inventory, you’ll have to buy or craft another. IMPORTANT: This command is currently broken and awaiting the dev’s fix. Place your snowmen carefully, you will not be able to remove it.
Once you’ve crafted an igloo, you can “use” it from your inventory to place it several feet in front of where you are standing, with the opening facing your character. Remove it with the /removeigloo command. It will NOT return to your inventory, you’ll have to craft or buy another.
If you’ve cut down or purchased a Christmas tree, you can place it down, then decorate it with lights, balls, bells, candy canes, and a star. Simple “use” the tree from your inventory to place it. Then “use” the tree decorations from your inventory to put them on the tree. You can remove the tree and get all items back into your inventory with the /removetree command.
Christmas Stores
Even though it’s more fun and challenging to find your tree, find presents with items, and craft your own decorations, that’s not always possible due to people’s time constraints and the difficulty in locating hidden presents. So you can visit the Christmas stores and get your decorations from Santy himself. These stores are marked with a Gold Dollar Sign symbol in various places across the map.
