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!

You did this @Roger Purple Nuff said...

This should not insure you against authorised legal police raids however.

Well! I just bought Rainbow 6 Seige....lord above help me

@vizzN @That Lucky SOB @martinPerhaps next time you lads meet with the Snr Command team we could get this rule reviewed and a decision made regarding it? (As it stands, I've been told by Snr command authorities I was not allowed to be a civ contractor which is why Aegis Defence Group was suspended - but I'm hoping to restart it , pending outcome)

This is just a post to see what people think (mainly cops) of this rule ; Any police officer ranked Inspector (Command) or above, or that is apart of the Special Response Team (SRT) or ASIO and is commiting any rebel activites (Bank, Fed or robbing other officers/taking them hostage) will face disciplinary action within the police force. Personal i think it should be removed. You should be able to play what ever faction you want as long as you have a different name.

Altis Life v5.4.1246 Release Date: 01/02/2017 Size: 16,024KB Notes: You may need to restart Arma 3 to download the mission file Items marked with * have a related segment under “Details” Change Log: Modified - Fixed some virtual items selling for $-2 Modified - Fixed bad alias entries in DB Modified - Fixed failing to add crew to UAV* Modified - Fixed rangefinder dupe in lockers Modified - Attempted to fix being unable to join your gang if you relog* Details: Failing to add crew to UAV: The server should add crew automatically now. I also noticed it only lets you fully control the UAV if it’s unlocked. This frustrated me as I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why I couldn’t fly it. As a result, the UAV is now unlocked by default. Unable to join your gang if you relog: This is a difficult thing to test as it only seems to occur when there is a large number of players online. I will continue to work on improving gangs once I have more info on how the bugs are occurring. 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!

We already have a long standing police procedure in place that prohibits ASIO, SRT and higher ranking officers to join a rebel gang, cartel, etc. ^I think those restrictions are fair and do not need to be altered. @TrueBlue - That procedure serves the points you have made in here. However, if the aforementioned groups wish to enjoy playing some civilian I have been more than happy to allow that. Are civilians capable of robbing other people? Yes there are. Are civilians capable of robbing a bank? Damn straight they are. Civilians can legally purchase firearms so they have the option of engaging in criminal activity. Rebels are NOT the only role play group that are capable of robbing a bank. A civilian using a legal firearm and civilian clothing does not amount to a rebel. There a plenty of great role play reasons for a civilian to engage in criminal activity. @Tiggati - Has expressed to me that cops should have the freedom to enjoy civilian for what it has to offer. If a cop playing civ is going to be considered "off duty" in role play terms, Tiggati has some awesome ideas as to how it could be role played out in terms of punishment if caught. The server needs to be fair but also fun, if you take the "fun" out of it with ridiculous restrictions people will not play.

Also SRT/ASIO guys gaining knowledge that could help them civ side (e.g locations of rebel's houses through recon and raids) this rule is enforced by the cop force to avoid cops at high ranks/special appointments from gaining unfair advantages i.e a form of meta, hence we make those guys swear off rebel for as long as they remain in those units/ranks. Anyone is free to play what faction they want, but they need to keep in mind that going down certain paths may preclude them from certain ranks or appointments in the cop force as per our internal regulations. The police Commissioner, his Deputies and Assistants have complete discretion at who ranks where and joins what unit in the cop force and are free to put on pre-requisites or exlusions as they see fit, they run the cop force their way in the same way a gang leader chooses who is in their gang and at what gang rank If you have an issue with this regulation on cop force, best to speak to @vizzN or @martin or @Sam I Am about it.

Let's look at this from rebel side. Hey you guys are the highest rank get all the cool gear and pay next to nothing for it. Now I'm a rebel and I like to play cop but I never get anywhere because I play quite a bit of rebel. So we got these SRT guys and above abit over playing cop. Hey lets go jump on the other side and get everything that's available to rebel and go around robbing people and breaking the law. What about all them rebels that haven't got anywhere because the higher ranks know their gang affiliated. It's double standards. Cops cant have it all and do what they want. There is not a rule in our rule set that states "if you are affiliated with a rebel gang you can not go further than Sargent" but due to the rules enforced by police this is a rule within the cops force.

If you get VDMed and you have evidence of your gear, you get compensation, easy. If you die of thrist/hunger, it's a mechanic of the game, your body is free reign to get looted.

Instead of delaying me bringing out my weapon, when I get out of a car it doesn't bring it out at all, I have to manually equip it - It's very annoying when I try to get out to pop someones tyres etc.

When You Have Too much time on your hands.

Bring on the cop weapons xoxoxo
