Gentlemen, Recently I sought some clarity around Language on Altis Life, [and by association I guess all Services (?)] and the decisions made going forward as far as the tone of the Chat. Some recent discussion including the fact the Knockdowns message contains some cursing "XYZ was Kkocked the F##k Down" has been thrown up, as well as :- * This is Australia you should be able to call people "c**nts". Umm, no. * The culture is free speech and racism is a fact. Umm, no. Going forward I, and the Altis Staff will show SOME, not total, leniency towards :- Minor swearing, not directed at any player, or staff. "Shit I crashed", "Fark", MINIMAL non directed "f#$k's". You can NOT tell people to "get f@#ked" "f#@k off" etc. That is still abusive and bypasses the language used and becomes more about the tone and intent, to upset and insult. Please, do not abuse this to spam swearing. I believe that the use of swearing shows a limit to the ability to communicate and express yourself, and it sets a hostilie tone straight off the bat with some people. Try to keep it clean, and polite, and if you are veering towards being on the edge on unacceptable language and get asked to tone it down, do so with a minimum of fuss. Its not a dictatorship, and this freeing up of the language is not something we want to regret as an Admin team. @Zomboid @Tiggati @Littleblacksheep @Roger Purple Altis Staff and Players please feel free to discuss below. Also keen to hear the Standards of Language on other Services @Mozkelby @Fitz @shift597 @InfamousNova @Unit_3397 @Links @colishere @Dima @Aidanjr

So tonight @Snowwiiee @TH3GamingBanana @Brodie and Myself decided it would be a great idea to design a mini Checkpoint a bit north of checkpoint 1 where would charge people $1 to come through the checkpoint (If they had it on Them) we would also explain to them that the cause of the checkpoint was going towards The Altis Banana Plantation Fund which is a great organisation that will supply Hungry monkeys with great quality grown freshly in Altis. Also there is another fellow who quite likes bananas and had a Huge part in the whole idea I beleive he goes by the name of Mr Yellow. We also had at the checkpoint a great bodyguard who goes by the name of @Brodie who would help us if things went south during the operation. Over the whole night we were there we raised a Whopping 40 Thousand Dollars to go towards the Organisation And overall it was an absolute blast of a time i think we will be doing more of these. Here are some Photos throughout the Night Thanks for coming and Enjoy. - A TOTAL OF $83,000 WAS DONATED ON THIS DAY.

@denis, @S.Sanders

On I&A, people only really complain if they get team killed, so the occasional "check your fucking fire!" or "good one, dickhead" isn't that big of a deal and I doubt anyone will find themselves kicked or banned just for that. Obviously, if they continue arguing, they'll be asked to settle down but not really much of a problem on I&A. I'm under the impression that Altis Life takes this a bit more seriously?

Accidentally left shadowplay running for 1h30 last night , figured I should make something of it @Zac @denis @Bonez @Spectral @orgug

"Donate Or Die"

Its probably 50 percent Player and 50 percent issue. Imagine your driving your nice car down the Street. Little Jimmy sprays you down in a SZ. Here comes a 2 min slinging match of who's mother has the greater sexual appetitie, or your proclivities to liking certain acts. I guess its the playstyle, and content as much as anything. People lose their minds over gear.

As soon as @Mozkelby fixed the sticker to be black instead of white I went and bought one and Represent in my area

I agree we have to starting stepping down on people who are swearing a lot.

Hello strayagaming Here is a small video for them that wanted to klnow how to make a texture and add it into thee map editor to test them 1. make thee texture 2. Load up map editor 3. add in the car you want to texture 4. save and exit editor 5. place texture into that file Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\"Profile Name"\missions\"File Name" 6. load back up editor 7. Edit thee Car eg SUV "Init" 8. add in this setobjecttexture [0,"name.jpg"]; 9. Where it says "name" you enter name of your texture 10. place a man and play. https://youtu.be/vP3KdZyZnno

Howdy fellas, Hope ya'll are doing swell. We've all encountered bad FPS and performance issues before in the I&A server. It's nothing new. However, when someone brings up performance issues in the TS (which apparently now needs security?) it always comes back to one discussion. Headless client. So far, I've not done too much research into the topic but I've got the basic premise. Hosting AI on another server so as to not have one server doing everything (rendering, AI geographic positioning, texturing, player movement, etc. all of those tasks will screw with FPS) think of it like having a computer with multiple cores. It divides the tasks up and thus improves FPS. It also has some added bonuses when it comes to Arma, the AI's skill scales with the server FPS, So if we were to invest in a headless client option, the AI would prove to be more of a challenge and make for some awesome gameplay and give a bit more of a challenge. Overall, Though what I have read states that a headless client option is not super expensive, it certainly isn't free. But despite this I think that the pros outweigh the cons here as the server maxes out population almost everyday just adding to the server load and making some of the folks whom have the less expensive rigs receive some pretty bad fps drops. You could argue that its a matter of hardware but I beg to differ, other servers (not running I&A) will give you fine fps with even more mods/addons installed and with over 100 folks on, So it can't be bad hardware. I think that if the admins have some spare time, they should look into the headless client option, I for one would love to see this server reaching its fullest potential with noone complaining about fps in the future and AI that is as good as if not better than the player? sign me up! What do you think? Think we should give Headless client a go? or stick with it as is? let me know, I'd love to see all what you guys think. Later fellas! Have a lovely day. -Arty

Hey Guys, So im starting my own twitch stream and youtube account and going to start making videos and what not, and so i thought i would kick it off on tanoa last night, but then changed my mind and decided im going to start it on Battlefield 1 Today in the next hour. So if you wish to come along and have a bit of a game and be in the live stream send me a message on the forums and i will be on teamspeak while Streaming for all those that want to join the channel I do ask that there are no trolls or people just coming in and being dicks. So im doing this and if you are wanting to be apart of it or want to watch while you are waiting for your download to be done Come along

Wasteland has its up and down days... Its delicate thing to control, but the way I go about it currently is give a rcon warning to watch abbusive language, then kick if happens again... maybe not all feeds, but if somethings said on either proxy or global we generally step in... if we were to knuckle down on it, all servers should get a pop up message when you join that states main regulations, and 2 buttons ( agree to terms/ leave) that way by accepting, then deliberately breaking a rule, admins/ mods can ban without hesitation... Then when they complain or apply for a ban lift we can use that against em... but still, hard thing to control... //iphone

OOOOH you cheeky little bugger

Was good fun, hope you enjoyed the $40000 donation and my body guard services <3!

to add on to fitz, we also have a message that when you get killed by a sniper, theres a chance that it says "Fitz got fucked up by an enemy sniper" as long as they arent excessively swearing its not usually an issue

Staff will be monitoring this system when it or a similar version of control gets implemented. Any accounts of trolling can be dealt with via bringing video evidence to staff, or asking staff in-game to observe the player. If he/she is found to be abusing the system they will be banned for Trolling/ Griefing. If you are a player wanting to grab some gear off a body that has a friendly mine on it, either be the engineer class to de-arm mines, be stupid enough to attempt to take the gear, or accept the fact that you weren't there when a member of your team downed a enemy and chose to mine the body.

Morals. The same thing stopping Cops exploiting ticketing, people duping. Now on my Work Plan - do illegal truck mission to test exploitability. My biggest concern historically is trolls rampaging around Sydney in them.

Sorry boys gonna have to sit this one out. Won't be home till later in the night. Make sure you all have a blast.
