Just an Idea with the new Super Donator tags. Keep it "Super Donator" for the $100 but for the others like $200 could be called "Extreme Donator" and $300 be called "Legendary Donator". Just a thought other then that, Good job Moz

#not a fan...

I agree with this and it would supply with way more RP however like what others have said direct chat is buggy and quite making it easy to mistake what people are saying. I believe an addition of the mod, TFR (Task Force Radio) would benefit the community a lot. Not only would it reduce the chances of metagaming but also help police and other gangs and medics communicate with each other easier putting those 10 codes to good use. Now i do understand the position that it would lower the player base because of the mods, but i believe the people who do indeed reject this idea must not like serious RP. For instance look at servers like lakeside that use over 10g of mods including TFR and there servers are near capacity most of the time. These servers have also introduced the rule that if 3rd party communication programs like steam and Skype are used to communicate its fail RP and metagaming ruling out that option. I believe that TFR would be a great substitution for the Arma 3 VON network and would increase role play in the server significantly. After all the Invade and Annex server is trialling it so why cant Altis life. Cheers Max

+ 1 to changing Declarations to Direct Chat ONLY - But keep side chat so the community can still connect and also allow questions to be asked/answered. I am against Side Chat declarations because it takes the role play out of hostile situations. People are 10 times likely not to comply with the dec and try to run because they do not have direct/immediate contact with the person/ground declaring. People are far more likely to comply with the role play situation if the declaring party has directly surrounded the victim. Removing Side Chat declarations will mean: 1) No more people declaring from 1km away 2) No more groups/people misled or confused by blanket declarations 3) More effort put into hunting and surrounding the target/victim 4) A better connection between the two parties 5) +BETTER ROLEPLAY (text on a screen is not role play acting, direct communication makes it all fair game)

nah, eazy, we like landing. it would be good though. i'd like to see rappelling too

@LuckyB33f Maybe make it so that cop vehicles can ONLY be rented? It makes sense in role play terms, APD is bankrolled by the Altis government and officers do not own the vehicles that are provided in the line of duty. Vehicles could be assumed as rented/loaned for the duration of the shift. As a result, you could help the cop economy by: 1) Making vehicles rent only, so they are dirt cheap to pull out (ranging from 5-20k). 2) This will take a load off the database in terms of no cop vehicles being stored. 3) Impounding has always been 10k per vehicle, essential to the cop economy (currently getting $200-$400 per vehicle). 4) In game wanted system needs to reflect the APD database values. Currently a murder is $2000 bounty instead of $75k.

doesn't TFR just alloy the conversation anyway? if they don't run TFR they just talk like normal in TS and everyone hears it. I thought that's how it worked? only the people with TFR get effected?

Removal of player tags.

hopefully I can join these lads..really want to join military theme groups

How can i join????

I'm happy to help out those who are whitelisted and play cop and medic by moving a % of there now money to the new banks. Also i can make an economy for cops and medics unique to them so even if they do something bad like gun trading it wont help them out... eg. cops guns costs alot like civs but they earn alot more so its not noticed as much

My personal favourite RP that I had was way back before I was high ranking cop, I was in a rebel gang. We ended up clashing with another gang a few times, that NEVER used side chat to dec, it was one of their gang rules. They would always come face to face and direct chat dec. It actually made it interesting and 90% of the things that people complain about aren't even a problem. You also had a WAY higher chance of getting out alive through a direct chat dec, as you are put in danger IMMEDIATELY and don't have time to set up to fight. I think that the people who don't want direct chat deccing as a rule are just afraid of change for whatever reason.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHhha WEOOWWWWW RIIIIIPPPPP

Just get an admin, I mean mod, to freeze everyone

Couple of small additions this evening: CSAT Helmets and Uniforms restricted. I&A Veteran's diary entry. Automated restart messages.

StrayaGaming Altis Life v0.1.364 Hi All, We are now using a proper versioning system, as this is the initial release I have included all notes I can see. This might include older ones. Added: Additional features in to the admin menu, including advanced teleportation and invisibility New police uniform skins Restrictions on shooting in a safezone for civilians Extensive logging for almost all actions Empty Bucket to Civilian Market A script to allow sitting in any chair Snag shop PMM 9MM to rare loot Improved battleye filters Police uniforms to the police store Cleanup script to handle dead bodies Player name blacklisting Clothing to the gang hideout store Check to prevent saving gear on death if force quitting before respawn Police Checkpoints Brisbane Hospital Zones to gang hideouts Processing wall at jail Robbery markers and alerts Donator shops Removed: Infistar Convoy mission Items that are no longer used Modified: Center of mass on the SUV to stop it flipping Moved the logging zone Moved the cocaine field Needed coplevel for the wanted list Player menu to prevent players from accessing it prior to receiving player information in the loading screen Toolkit to allow unlimited repairs Basic configuration to optimize network traffic and reduce lag/desync Medic level required for certain vehicles Salt processing Lots of skin fixes and optimizations Admin permissions on the admin menu Robbery markers not being deleted if the robber disconnects prior to the delete time Brisbane Cop air shop and garage were spawning ad Melbourne cop air spawn Pullout player button not available for civ or med Bank of Neri (re-design) Shady doctor Sydney air garage

Knowing nothing about the effort required to code things, I was wondering if there are any planned changes in the future for main AO missions? i would love more missions in towns and urban areas. There is too many snipers/marksman currently so when attacking or defending bases they are always getting the kills. More close quarters stuff would be interesting. It is always funny watching people clear buildings at bases. They open the door, stand right in the doorway and wonder why the AI mowed them down haha. Also, a random idea. Is it possible to have missions with a no fly zone? Instead of people ferrying by chopper, you convoy in on vehicles and get ambushed by Ai. The Ai set off a IED or something, take out a vehicle and combat begins. Something similar to what is happening in real life scenarios in war zones these days. The constant capture base, destroy radio tower can get old after a few hours. There is probably limits of dynamic missions in which case I apologise.

Added cop textures and car textures Added cop more crafting Added more backpacks for cops Fixed log progressing Fixed salt processing Fixed Air garage in Sydney Fixed some car spawn in blue Moved the Saw Mill to Bunnings (SM) Moved Plank Trader to Bunnings (PT) Moved some of the processes around Deleted DP mission Deleted double of of cop trader in sydney Deleted Auction house from cops / Medics Turns out i used an old map so westpac hasnt been added and bank and jail moved back to its old places. .. this will be fixed tonight or tomorrow

When the cops come to fed with a Ghosthawk and I shoot it down with a Titan AA and claim it as SP's. I must add we also got 3 9.3 supps. #MustHurt @TrueBlue@TheMagician@That Lucky SOB@Farensik.@Exodius@Littleblacksheep@Saundo@bolbayy@Hawko@martin@Snowwiiee

Very Nice LADS!!!

Good work mate, pretty straight forward and will help those who are learning to become Texture Devs. Cheers mate!

NEW PLAYER GUIDE FOR ALTIS LIFE **DISCLAIMER** This is a guide written by a guy on steam by the name of PurePixel with additions and edited by me (Yuri) to fit in with StrayaGaming's Altis Life server. All Credit for this content goes to PurePixel What is Altis Life? Altis life is simply an RP mod for ARMA 3 based on the island of Altis, so you can see where it got its name from. There consists of 3 main factions: Civilians (This is the major faction with the most people, It consists of Civilians, Rebels and Cartels) Police Officers (These are here to make sure laws are not broken and those who do break laws are punished) Medics (These are here to carry out things such as reviving dead players, The Medics do not run with weapons and are not to be killed by anyone at any point in time) The aim of this RP mod is to RP as one of these roles which often involves the pursuit of money in order to obtain better gear such as the aim of many Civilians to become rebels to obtain the greatest guns etc. You must note that all Figures I quote will be taken from the current server which I played on and will be updated as I find out about others so feel free to comment information. Extra Controls Again as above this may change server to server but should work on most, I am quoting from the server that I play on. Y - This opens your Altis Life inventory showing things such as your current money, items you have on your person and licences while allowing you to access other things such as your cell phone and key chain U - This will unlock the vehicle you are close to (Within about 2-3m) as long as you have the key T - This will access the trunk of the vehicle near you, that you are looking it as long as it is either unlocked or you have the keys Custom Control 10 (Default - Left Windows key) - This will open an interaction menu allowing you to complete actions such as repairing vehicles and flipping vehicles, if you are a police officer you gain more options. This is also the main picking button. Shift + T - This is the mining key you use it to mine objects Shift + R - If you are a police officer this will restrain the person in front of you so that they cannot move of do anything other than interact with Scroll Wheel (So be careful they can escape if a car is near enough) Terms to Learn Rp - Role Play NLR - New Life Rule (When you die you may not go within a certain distance of the area you died for a certain amount of time, server specific values) RDM - Random Death Match (This is randomly killing killing a person for no valid Rp reason and is often a ban-able offence) VDM - Vehicle Death Match (This is using your Vehicle as a weapon either to kill someone or destroy a vehicle/property) 1. Beginning on a Server Now the first thing before anything on a server that you need to do is read through all the rules, Especially if you are new to Altis Life as there are a large amount of things to learn, these can be accessed by going into the to the forums (https://strayagaming.com.au/forums/topic/6288-altis-life-rules-new-210516/). So to begin on this server your best option is fruit picking as if you spawn in Sydney (Kavala) there are 2 fruit field near. To do this I recommend getting a large backpack, Drivers License and Quad bike. Of both fruits I recommend picking peaches as they earn you a slight bit more than apples and the drive is quicker, so you need to drive to the peach field then walk up to a tree and use the Custom Control 10 (windows key by default) it will do an animation and then they will be in your Altis Inventory. When your backpack and vehicle are full drive back to the Market and there you can sell your fruit to the 'market' vendor and rinse and repeat until you can afford to begin the next stage (see below) TLDR: Backpack, Get Driving License, Quad, Pick peaches, Sell at market When you can afford to do something better such as copper. Of the legal methods (I shall detail all later) copper is arguably the safest as it is one of the shortest drives, is all on the eastern (police controlled side of the map) and you can start straight away. Get a backpack (or use the same one from fruit picking) at the clothing store and a pickaxe from the market, buy a truck licence from the Licence shop then go to the truck store and buy a truck that you can afford. Now you will need to keep all your money remaining on you to buy a copper processing licence at the copper processing but for now you need to head to the Copper mine located just outside of Sydney (Kavala). When you reach the mine you need to exit your vehicle, and press Shift+T to mine using your pickaxe, you will now be mining copper fill you inventory and your trucks trunk then you need to head to the Copper processing NPC buy a licence then process all of your copper. Finally you need to head to the Copper Trader so that you can sell your copper and make some money, continue with this and collect money so you can proceed in doing what you want. TLDR: Get Backpack, Truck License, Truck, Mine copper, Get Processing License, Process Copper, Sell to Copper Trader 2a. Legal Money Making There are a few ways to make money Legally as a civilian on altis. This is either done through fruit picking or mining and processing resources. Fruits to pick: (Basic servers, there may be more) Peaches Apples Fruit picking is often something you do when starting the game as it is a short distance from most towns and can be traveled to and sold relatively fast compared to other methods. However it yields little money so is not very effective when playing later on in the game. If you have a choice peaches are often more profitable than apples. Resources to mine; Rock Copper Sand Salt Iron Diamond Oil Mining is a step up from fruit picking you get much more money but it often required the greatest amount of time and some threat may be involved with higher tier resources. Mining mainly depends on the locations on your servers as you want to find a route you can take from the Mining to processing to sales as fast as possible. In order to mine you will need a pickaxe and use it from your inventory and also a processing license that can be purchased from the processor him/herself at the location so the first time you will need to carry money, they prices of these vay per server from as low as 5k for copper to 100k for a diamond license. Copper is most commonly the basic resource this will yield the least amount of money (while still being a reasonable amount) so is the resource you will want to start with, this can be done with a basic vehicle such as a pick up truck or the first tier truck and be worth it. From here you move up the tiers which can be very variable, at the top if often diamond which takes up a high amount of inventory space before processed and sells for a lot of money but you may encounter bandits on this run as diamonds is very lucrative. Also your alternate option is sand/salt which people with good gear often do (this may be friendlier) as you can take large trucks out onto an open plane and harvest this so you are safe and the route to drive is not exceptionally long while having a good payout. By the time you are at one of the higher tier resources you want a large truck and a basic legal gun like an PDW or Handgun if you are able to afford just so you have some protection. 2b. Illegal Money Making Illegal money making is where the rewards become greater as drug runs can bring large amounts of money but are often very risky. Methods of Illegal money making (not in order): Cocaine Heroin Weed Pingas Blood Diamonds Uranium Each drug yields different amounts of money on servers which can vary but typically weed is the least expensive and Uranium the most expensive with risk scaling for each. However you must take note on drug runs there is a high chance any other person will have a gun and you require a gang to be safe doing this or to be cautious at night time. Police also add a greater risk on drug runs as with enough officers they are able to raid drug fields, processors and dealers, while also being able to search trucks if they think anything is suspicious or in a big convoy this means as groups you should try to stay close or split up and avoid police at all cost you don't want to end up in a 4 truck escape from 10 police officers with cars (as I have experienced). If police find you, try to ditch the drugs or one of a group distract them and do this so you guys can escape, as long as police don't find drugs on you or in your vehicle you are safe if they do it will be impounded and you most likely arrested. Before you start doing illegal methods as above you want weapons and a group, the best idea is to do something legal till one of you can get a rebel license and then give them money to buy guns and camo outfits along with having a number of larger trucks so you can take large amounts. Again this is risk vs reward, it can be very lucrative but you are likely to see people and die losing gear so do not waste money use as little as you can. 2c. Police Money Making As a police officer money making is very simple. If someone has a bounty on their head then you will get a proportion (or all) if you arrest them and up to half if you kill them. However for ticketing someone you get the full amount. To make it for the difficulty in money making police start with basic gear, get a larger paycheck and have cheap cars. 2d. Medic Money Making As a Medic money making is very simple. If someone has died then you go and revive them (as long as it is not in an active combat situation) Just talk with your higher ups to find out where you can/cant go. You also receive the largest paycheck. 2d. Rebel Money Making As a rebel you are most likely going to be going drugs to get most of your money but when you aren't there are also other methods. All of these methods are very risky! Rebel methods: Police/Player Ransom Bank/Federal Reserve Robbery Police/Player ransoms can be very difficult and require a number of people but if enough people have guns on a police officer he has to surrender due to rp rules, this is the most RP thing to do and may often lead to no money. You need to take the officers communications (at least say) and text the police demanding money (this works best if more senior officers are online with money) and they may payout for the officer. However when there are often larger groups of police they will try end it with a gunfight to save the officer or just do something sneaky so you need to watch out. The aim here is to capture someone important / multiple officers and you might get money but often not. Bank/Federal reserve is the most common this for rebels in an organised group. This can either be done directly by just going to the bank when there are 6+ officers or the Federal reserve when there are 8+ officers online. Robbery is only available inside towns when there are 6+ cops online and outside of towns whenever, this can be done if you have a weapon at which point you can declare on people (see the Declarations tab in the rules section) Quick Tips! ALWAYS check the server rules (often on the map) when you start a server as many rules and general thing vary. Do not VDM (Vehicle death match - Running over people) as this is a banable offence on the majority of servers if done repeatedly or used in combat situations. Do not RDM (Random death match - Randomly kill people) as this again is ban able and not allowed on all servers. Try to stay in RP (Role play) in player interactions as being out of RP can be disallowed e.g. with Cops and if you rob someone don't just shoot them if they say now (just most general interactions). Follow NLR (New Life Rule) which means if you die you cannot go back to where you died for 5 - 15 minutes (always check) this is again another bannable offence. Q&A This will be updated with any common questions people have about Altis life. This is a work in progress and if you feel like i have left something out or something needs to be changed then send Me a PM on the forums Best Regards, Yuri
