This week I have set up persistence, and hopefully it will work properly. Save email messages: This feature can be found on the messenger UI. If there is a message you send often, save it! Then next time you need it, just select it from the dropdown and send! Server wide discounts: All vehicle, weapon, clothing and virtual item stores can have a discount enabled with the flick of a switch. More info here. Map marker controls: If the map is too cluttered for your liking, you can now fix it. Create a marker group to change the size and opacity of all the markers you add to it. To reset back to default, delete all groups and relog. Fishing zones: Struggling to find fish in the sea? Head on out to a fishing zone and find all the fish you’ll ever need! Yes you can catch fish anywhere, but your odds are significantly raised if you’re inside a fishing zone. Get in/out of jail for cops: Walk up to the wall which backs onto the ATM and you will have a scroll wheel to enter the jail, stand near the ATM and you will have a scroll wheel to exit… simple Kajman to rebel store: I felt it was worth noting down, it does not have ammo. StrayaAir skins: Two StrayaAir Caesar skins have been added to the donator store for level 3+. Nyan cat skins: Three Nyan cat skins have been added to the donator store for level 2+. One skin each for the SUV, Hatchback (normal and sport), and Strider. Various anticheat measures: No this does not mean we are unhackable, just means some methods are blocked. New map shade toggle: The default map shade has changed to give a different feel to the map. If you like your maps a little more ordinary, plain and boring you can disable the change in your settings menu. Fixed players joining random groups: The reason I say hopefully is because Arma seems to be unpredictable when it comes to groups. The code was written to put the player in an empty group when they joined, however sometimes they would end up in a group with players already in it. I have rewritten the init to try and prevent this but I can not promise that it will resolve the issue. 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!

Yassss Factions PVP would be sickkk

Altis Life - Server Wide Discounts With the end of the month nearing and the last planned weekly update scheduled for tomorrow. It is with great pleasure I can announce the server wide discounts system is complete and ready for implementation. How it will work: Once the goal is half way, (157.5$) a 10% discount will be put in place. Once the goal is reached, (315$) a 15% discount will be put in place. Once the goal reaches half again, (472.5$) a 20% discount will be put in place. And lastly. Once the goal reaches double, (630$) a 25% discount will be put in place. For example, a huron. 900,000$ at a 25% discount will be only 675,000$. At the end of the month when the goal resets, the discount will be set back to 0 and the cycle will repeat. This system is purely designed to optimize and expand the amount of reward we can give to donators, without breaching the Arma 3 Monetization Rules. .. 0 Donators play a massive role in the development and upkeep of the server, without them, hosting a server would just not be possible. I think I speak on behalf of everyone involved with StrayaGaming, when I say, thankyou to all who have done so in the past week, the past month and even the past year(s). The generosity of donators does not go unnoticed or forgotten. - S.G Staff

Pretty sure me and @nclem and who ever else would be able to develop the server just need the approvals from strayagaming if they want it to go ahead as we would need someone to buy a server from a hosting company like mcprohosting. Then once we have been given access to the control panel then we would be able to develop the server. (Meaning install/customise important plugins, recruit builders to build spawn etc and then recruit other staff to help manage the server.) Also would need a poll to see what type of server the community wants it to be but I don't see a problem of having multiple gamemodes if money isn't a problem. P.S I'm leaning towards a spigot survival server with minigames but its up to you guys.

Hello and welcome Thought i'd make a third because having an even number is to mainstream these days, Probably the last meme video boys.

Always read the fine print

Shieeet you're right.. I do get carried.

I didn't even get carried in ranked, I have proof... Take note of the SP plebs in the other team Mmm Plat 1.. Why not show everyone a screen shot of your R6 rank @Roger Purple ?

*COUGH* Carried Rainbow Six Siege is defiantly a winner, i just got the division on xbox one and so far iv enjoyed it. Space Engineers is defiantly one i want to try, and i was never a fan of CS:GO

Im also inclined to agree. I see no reason for command team to be banned from bein civ contractors except if doing so they begin to neglect their command and cop duties by never clocking up any time as cop. As for rebels im happy for the restrictions to continue to apply in all cases for various reasons.

I would be inclined agree with you on that, but I would like to hear opinions to the contrary.

as someone who almost strictly Pilots Fixed Wing and Armed aircraft on wasteland i can tell you that the bushes are not a problem whatsoever, if you find yourself crashing on landing or takeoff perhaps a trip to the editor? what is a problem though is 1 runway if it was Altis i would land on a road in the middle of whoop whoop

When a rich stackfor reaches money cap, everyone gets pawnees! @Dak Commstar, @poofyswine, @Frosty, @FAMILY, @Brayden, @venom852, @James

we have tried to do this in the past but the creator wouldn't let us host our own server
