GTA RP
How do I get onto the GTA RP server?
You need GTA V for PC and FiveM, which is free at fivem.net. Start FiveM, press F8 and enter connect 138.201.226.233:30120. You can also find the server in the FiveM server browser under “Nerux City”.
Do I need a whitelist or an application?
No. There is no whitelist and no application interview. Read the rules first, then you can join right away.
How old do I have to be to play?
18. The city contains content that is for adults only, and GTA V itself is rated 18 as well.
Do I need a microphone?
Yes. People talk over the voice chat built into the game, in German. Hold N to talk. The key left of 1 switches between whisper, normal and shout, and you use the radio by holding the key between T and U (Y on a US keyboard, Z on a German one).
What is there in the city?
Police and paramedics, a car dealer, a tuning garage, city hall and a prison, plus supermarkets, liquor stores and a hardware store with a full range. The job centre in city hall has ten jobs, and without a job you can earn money with timber, fish, wine, crafting and hunting. We announce anything new on Discord.
When do players meet up?
On city nights, Fridays and Sundays at 20:00 Berlin time. Those are fixed dates when we arrange to meet in the city. You can play at any time; the server runs around the clock apart from the restart at 6:30.
Can I play on my own?
Yes. The jobs work solo, and when it is quiet, dispatch sends its own calls. If no player is on duty, dispatch sends its own taxi, ambulance and roadside assistance. Residents text you small errands, the time trials pit you against the weekly leaderboard, and the city paper tells you what happened while you were away. You are most likely to meet others on city nights.
How do I earn money?
Pick a job at the job centre in city hall, for example refuse collection, taxi, bus or haulage. At the depot you start your shift and get a work vehicle for a 250 $ deposit, which you get back if the vehicle is parked at the depot again at the end. You are paid per task; with experience your pay rises by up to 40%, and working in pairs adds 20%.
How do I become a police officer or paramedic?
Through the aptitude test at city hall: ten questions about the rules and the job, eight must be right. If you pass, you start as a police trainee or paramedic intern. If not, you can try again after 24 hours. After that an induction walks you through the station or the hospital. You are promoted by time on duty and calls handled, even when no senior officer is online. The workshop at Benny's takes you without a test, as an apprentice.
What do I do as a police officer when nothing is happening?
Go on patrol. When it is quiet, dispatch sends its own calls, traffic stops among them. You can also stop cars yourself: lights on, get behind a car and press Page Up, and it pulls over. Then you check the papers, run a breath test, issue a warning or a fine, or make an arrest if there is a reason. In the patrol car, /akte opens the police records with wanted notices, previous convictions and number plates. Time on duty and calls handled count towards your promotion.
How do I call the police, paramedics or a taxi?
With /110 for the police, /112 for paramedics, /pannenhilfe for the SAAC roadside service, /taxi and /abschleppdienst. The same calls are in the radial menu under Notruf. Whoever is on duty sees your call at the top of the screen and takes it with F9.
What happens if no paramedic is on duty?
If you are down, press G. If no paramedic is on duty, or none accepts within three minutes, dispatch sends an ambulance. Depending on the distance to the hospital it arrives after about one to three minutes, the paramedics bring you back and the bill is 1,500 $. If there is shooting nearby, they wait until it is quiet. If you do not want to wait, you can wake up in hospital for 2,000 $, but you lose your inventory except your phone, ID and licences.
My car broke down. What now?
Call the SAAC, the San Andreas Automobile Club: with /pannenhilfe, in the radial menu under Notruf or on your phone at 7222. Sit in the car or stand right next to it while you call. Roadside assistance costs a flat 750 $; for company vehicles your employer pays. If nobody from the SAAC is on duty, dispatch sends its own mechanic, who arrives after about one to three minutes depending on the distance. He repairs the car on the spot and fills up the tank. A burnt-out wreck has to be towed away with /abschleppdienst.
Can you rob shops?
Yes: the 24/7 stores, Rob's Liquor and the LTD shops. You threaten the clerk with a gun or break open the till. If enough police are on duty, the safe in the back room is waiting after that. With no police on duty you only get the till, and it pays less. Shortly after you start, a silent alarm goes out to the police, and each shop needs some quiet time afterwards. Witnesses often report the robbery, and then it is in your police record. From 6:00, half an hour before the restart, nobody starts a robbery.
Do I need a driving licence?
Yes, as soon as you want to drive a car. New characters get it at the driving school south-west of city hall: the theory test costs 250 $, the driving test 750 $. Afterwards you pick up the card at the counter in city hall. Until then you can rent a bicycle next door.
How do the time trials work?
Drive your own car to one of the brown chequered flags on the map and stop inside the circle. The board shows the route, the target time, the allowed vehicle classes and the three fastest drivers of the week; E starts the run. The server keeps the time, and /zeitfahrt_abbrechen cancels a run. Set the best time of the week on a route and beat the target time, and you get 500 $.
Where do I live?
After creating your character you pick a starter flat, free of charge, in one of five buildings. At the housing office in city hall you can move into a city flat with a bedroom for 4,500 $ a week, or buy a luxury flat in a high-rise. Up to two flatmates get a key, visitors ring the bell at the front door, and you place the furniture yourself.
Can I have more than one character?
Yes, up to three. They do not know each other: knowledge, money and gear never pass from one to another. So what your police officer learns on duty, your other character does not know.
Is my character saved?
Yes. Money, inventory, vehicles and your flat with its furniture are stored in the database and survive every restart.
When does the server restart?
Every day at 6:30 Berlin time. If you are online then, you get a warning ten, five and one minute before.
Which keys do I need to know?
Six are enough to start: N to talk, E and Alt to interact, TAB for the inventory, M for the phone and Y for the radio (Z on a German keyboard). The full list is on the server's page.
How do I reach the team in the game?
With /report and a short description, or in the radial menu under “Team rufen”. You get a case number, and the answer reaches you even if you were offline in between. /meldung without text shows your cases.
What happens when I wake up in hospital?
Then you remember nothing of the scene before, and you do not go back for revenge. If paramedics revive you on the spot, you keep the memory.
How many players fit on the server?
8. The server is free, without a password and without paid advantages.
General
What is Nerux Gameservers?
Nerux Gameservers runs German game servers in a data centre in Germany (Hetzner), protected against DDoS and with low pings across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Right now there are two Rust servers (Small Weekly for solo/duo, Medium Monthly for teams of up to 8), a SCUM server with PvP and offline raid protection, the GTA RP server Nerux City on FiveM and a Minecraft network for the Java Edition with Citybuild and minigames.
Do the servers cost anything?
No. All Nerux servers are free to play and have no password. On Rust, SCUM and GTA RP there are no paid advantages. The Minecraft network has ranks for sale, and what they include and cost is listed openly in the shop. If you want to support the project, you can also do so voluntarily through the support link.
Where do I get help or report a rule breach?
On Discord. That is where you reach the admin team, ask questions and report breaches. Reports need evidence: a clip for cheating, an unedited screenshot for chat incidents.
Where are the servers and what is the ping like?
In a data centre in Germany (Hetzner), with DDoS protection. For players in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that means short routes; from the rest of Europe the ping is usually still perfectly playable.
Which rules apply on all servers?
Respectful behaviour, no hate speech, no cheating, no dupes, and reports go through a ticket rather than public chat. All rules are on the rules page of each game.
Can I get a server for another game?
Ask on Discord. Another game gets added when someone actually wants to play it and we can monitor the server for the long run. We only promise availability once we are checking it.
How can I support Nerux?
Join the Discord, play, and tell others about the servers. Optionally you can support the project financially through 'Support / Buy Me a Coffee'. You get no in-game advantages for that.
