These buttons direct you to various web pages: the forum homepage, server rules, connect to teamspeak & our new Arma 3 Unit which I encourage you all to join. Vehicle auto garage: During the last few weeks we have observed vehicle numbers climb to well over 400 active at a time, and most of them are just sitting around. This last used timer will mark the last point when the vehicle was used for any action (driving, looking in the inventory, loading into or out of another vehicle, etc) and auto garage if it has not been used in a certain time period. The time period is adjustable, but as of release it is set to half an hour of inactivity. Custom kill, suicide and respawn messages: I have replaced the default Arma 3 messages with some more creative ones which we hope you will enjoy. In total, there are 29 new kill messages, 19 new suicide messages and 22 new respawn messages. Everyone will have access to one custom message from each category, with donators having a broader selection. The number of messages you have access to depends on your rank. For example: a level 3 donator will have access to the level 3 messages, as well as the level 2 and 1 messages. Every time you kill someone, commit suicide and respawn a random message is picked from your selection. Proficiencies: It’s what we have all been waiting for… right? I have done my best to bring in the proficiencies from the old server. Leveling up these proficiencies will result in doing activities faster, as well as bragging rights I suppose. Please do note it may not be perfect. Rebuilt gang system: This new system is still somewhat experimental. I have only been able to do limited testing on it however it looks very reliable so far. Almost all the changes are back end so you won’t see them, however you will notice that creating a gang is free, it has a maximum of 35 slots per gang and it uses a new notification type. This system also has the ability to reserve gang names. If you wish to reserve a name so only specific players can use it, please contact @Leopard. Impound flat rates: Every time you impound a vehicle you will be paid a flat rate on top of the impound fee. You will receive 15k for air vehicles, and 10k for land. Looting buildings and objects: It is not gone forever, but for the time being it just had to go. There is a rather amusing error in the system which allowed looting with no cooldown. This will be fixed and looting reintroduced in a future update. I just ran out of time for this week. Report all bugs via the in game bug tracker. If you have a suggestion, please send it to @Leopard. Thanks for playing StrayaGaming Altis Life!

Please take the time to read this if you are in any way an Altis Life Player. This is quite a large change. - PLEASE VISIT THE ALTIS LIFE RULES - MOST SPECIFICALLY THE DECLARATION RULES - So about a week ago I posted a poll in regards to the declarations on Altis Life. The poll is now closed, Thank you to everyone who voted. The results were as follows; Option A. - 61 votes (49.19%) Option B. - 63 votes (50.81%) Due to the extremely close results, we have decided to implement a mixture of both, emails and direct communication declarations. Short Form: All side-chat declarations are being removed as of the next update. (24/1/17 6PM AEDT). The email system will be the primary replacement for this. And the voice system will remain as is with future improvements being looked at in the near future. Direct can still be used as it is now, remembering if you declare via direct you must wait for an acknowledgement. If you declare on a car that is driving down the road and they just keep driving as they were you can not assume they have seen your declaration. You choose to declare like this it is your responsibility to wait for an acknowledgement . In an expanded format, Email declarations will work like this. You will scroll, hover your cursor (the little white scroll-dot) over a person, car, helicopter etc. Their name will then be displayed in a smaller grey-ish white-ish font. This can be used only to declare via email. You must not use this name in role-play. The name given to you is to only be used for declaration communication. This is not meta, however using this name in role-play is. You must still obtain their name via RP face to face. There is a minimum and a maximum as to how far this name will appear (15m-500m). This is to limit long distance declarations with no intention on engaging them in RP such as a face to face robbery after someone has put their hands up. An email declaration will only have to contain the following: - Instructions such as "Get out of your vehicle and hands up". - A threat "....Or die". Direct Communication Declarations remain the same. Important: as a declaration on one is a declaration on all. The responsibility to inform the rest of the gang is the person who was declared on. If you are declared on and do not tell your other members, they are then killed by the people who declared. It is your fault. Not the people declaring. Always inform your gang members if you are declared on. This does not apply for police (see below). Important 2: if you are declaring on police, as you would now. You must either dispatch message all police, like you must now. Or use direct communication and wait for an acknowledgement. Please report via the forum report function any issues with the rules that still advert the usage of Side Chat Declarations. - PLEASE VISIT THE ALTIS LIFE RULES - MOST SPECIFICALLY THE DECLARATION RULES - Thank You. - Altis Life & S.G Staff

Found the reason for the lack of choice

A personal project i did.

YESSSSSS. THANk you. I have beenw aiting for this

That is what happens when you get blacklisted from Straya ladies and gentlemen... Don't break rules and that won't be you

Recently, we added back in gang funds. This was abused by a select few and it was removed the next week. Simple. This week, we have added in body looting. Removing limitations on RP is always something I personally endeavour to do and I believe so do the rest of the staff. Body looting has a dark past. That is all I will say of it. It is being given another go on the server, BUT. If this is abused in anyway shape or form that causes an issue on the server. It will be removed either in a hot-fix or the next update. Simple. IF THIS IS ABUSED - IT WILL BE REMOVED - SIMPLE

I'll enter this but can't wait for the flip knife doppler that @Reaper is giving away hahahha

I restored from a backup from 10am as the 12pm backup had some data corruption in it. Everything has been rolled back to there for the players table only. So your money and gear has been rolled back.

Your data is all fine. We have patched the method used to cause the trouble and will be releasing a security update in the very near future.

Hey Alec at this point in time it would seem that we will be able to get the money back as of 12 PM today, sydney standard time. But until the server is up, all of us are just waiting and hoping that the devs do their best to fix it .

If you see this, please come report it to us. My take on this is, would you see somebody on a main road, in a go-kart in real life? Not really, very dangerous to be in an exposed vehicle like this when normal cars can come along and wipe you out like a fly.

even better @That Lucky SOB https://gyazo.com/19d8e5ff6533f2d09698a1f87129ab07

Some nice screenshots I had taken while playing Strayagaming Wasteland.

1 - This applies to cartels and Civilian contractors 2 - This applies to Cartels 3 - Corruption if found is dealt with by the police and judicial system 4 - Civilian contractors/Rebels/Cartels have been known to take on hit men jobs if necessary 5 - The Government will always be corrupt. The judicial system and police force do what they can to take down corruption 6 - Cartels do this at Banks/Fed and Civ contractors do this around the map 7 - Rebels Terrorize the land. Cartels just own and run a illegitimate business. 8 - The Civilian Contractors are businessmen so they care about making smart economical decisions Cartels work with the police because they are also against the Rebels (the enemy of my enemy is my friend) Also the banks hold the cartels money and the Federal reserve holds the Cartels Gold, hence why they are willing to help the cops defend. Also the 'corruption' is that we find rebels (who are trying to take down the government) and we hand them into the police force as a sign of good will. Yes the cartels do illegal drug runs but that is but a petty crime when there are rebeling forces trying to take down the country and government. @Vairix Pretty sure i covered the jist of it aye @Leopard

Well Lets Hope The RNG is on my side

i remember when i played i would Farm bullet on his little island.

Patch 8.2 In the event of any catastrophic errors or problems on initial release, we may revert back to the previous settings while we make appropriate changes Development Added - Various Buildings Moved - Various Stores Moved - Various buildings Tweak - Bury body script timer

Whilst we are here, I would like to put forward a bit of a theoretical new feature. Casino RP. The casino is owned by the most dominant Cartel. As people gamble, all of the gamblers money goes to a balance, all winnings come out of that balance. However the casino money is stored in a vault in a separate location, this is another robbery available to players, requiring around 15 cops online, however the stakes are high. A 25-30 minute teller that if successful offers the entire casino balance. The Casino balance wipes on a schedule, weekly? Fortnightly? Monthly? (only off the top of head thoughts, all hypothetical so far). The casino would also act as a place for cartels and cops to collude and pay each etc. ___________________ As for more face to face RP scenarios, Do you want to see more rewarding and realistic hostage situations? Removal of sidechat decs and forcing player on player, face to face declaring?
