Rumors

Trip3 Rumors is a lightweight, ambient roleplay system that turns every pedestrian on the street into a potential source of information. Players can walk up to eligible NPCs to ask around for the latest local rumor, or on select NPCs, share a rumor of their own — building a living, evolving pool of community-driven gossip alongside your own hand-written content.

Everything is tunable from a single config file — no code editing required.

Features

• Category-based, weighted rumor selection — fully customizable categories, each with its own rumor pool and weight
• Player-submitted rumors — players spread their own rumors for others to discover, with automatic age and count limits so the pool stays fresh
• Configurable NPC "rejection" chance — not every NPC wants to talk, for a more natural feel
• Built-in profanity filter — including leetspeak and spaced-letter bypass detection
• Adjustable ambient NPC density — control exactly how many NPCs are interaction-eligible
• One-time-per-NPC interaction — prevents farming the same ped over and over
• Admin command suite — stats, manual rumor management, and cooldown resets, ACE-permission gated

No manual database setup required — the resource creates and manages its own storage table automatically on first start.
