The server will have a short downtime to apply this update as we must convert house data to work with the new system. Items marked with * have a related segment under "Details" Change Log: Added: 500 character limit to text messages Added: 2 public cop slots Added: Discord button to the escape menu* Modified: Rebuilt housing system* Modified: Unlocked all donator perks* Modified: Escape menu buttons v2 (too many servers stole v1 ) Modified: Various rank changes to cop shops Modified: Patched a money duping method Modified: Some minor adjustments to lessen the use of network intensive commands Modified: Nearby medics now displays the distance to the closest medic instead of "Yes" or "No" Removed: MK20 + ammo from default cop loadout Details: Discord: We have had a discord for a while now but never had a proper use for it until now. The discord will be used as a Q&A chat, so if you have any questions about Altis Life you can ask them there. Rebuilt housing system: All other major systems have been rebuilt, so it's about time housing was rebuilt too. The main reason for this rebuild is to reduce unnecessary network traffic. This new system will require a new house database structure, but don't worry, your data will not be lost. We will convert all house data to the new format when we release the update. The conversion process has been tested over and over on current house data and completes the conversion with no errors, so we should be all good in that regard. There are a few front-end changes with this system so let's get into that. To start, there are no crate objects anymore. Inventories are stored virtually now so we do not need storage crates. Now you can purchase storage from your house. There are up to four storage levels same as before, except it all goes into one inventory instead of having an inventory per crate. The capacity of Arma item storage (Main Inventory) will not change. Large storage crates have 4000 capacity and small crates have 500, the new system does not change these values so if you had four large storage crates, you will still have 16,000 main inv capacity. Virtual storage capacity will have a slight increase. The inventories themselves are accessible from the house menu. Simply open the menu when inside the building and select the inventory you're after. Only one person can use an inventory at a time, this is to prevent duping. Everything else remains the same. To give someone else access to your inventories you must give them keys or unlock storage. Your storage also becomes unlocked if someone breaks in or the cops raid your house (using the 'Break down door' button on their house menu). You must be online for others to access your inventories. Unlocked donator perks: Report all bugs via the in game bug tracker. If you have a suggestion, please send it to the Altis Life staff team. Thanks for playing StrayaGaming Altis Life!

Persistence is key, aslong as you don't give up anything is possible! It took me almost 3 years but finally i got the position!!! STAFF BANNED!

Hey Cables, Unfortunately we have a lot of people that go for support roles in our staff team. When we go through these applications we look for certain things. Things like maturity, age, personality and the history of the community member on our servers across the board. To be honest mate we got people who don't even have a mark on their name. Looking at your history on our servers there are a lot of reports on yourself. Put yourself in our shoes. How is that fair on the people that have played by the rules and haven't done anything wrong in the past? I would never ask someone to change their personality and I hope none of our staff have asked. I always try to put staff in a role that suits them as a person. In saying that Attitude is another story. People can change their attitude and their way they look at things. I always try to see things from every point of view and that's why I see where your coming from, but please don't think you were denied due to a disorder or your ability. I really hope you can one day become part of the SG Team. I have been on TS with yourself a few times and your a good bloke. If you want to talk further about this mate come see myself on TS or in this thread. I don't mind. Thank you for putting your point across, TrueBlue

Hello, StrayaGaming Community. Have you ever attempted to apply for anything, and for various reasons you have been denied? Recently I was denied of an application because of my Personality and how I communicate with the Community and wasn't able to explain or elaborate on decisions I have made. Not giving me a chance to prove my abilities, and denied of something that maybe I can't change or that a disorder is keeping me from changing. I feel that the reason I was denied of can’t be changed because people have enjoyed my personality and some even find it interesting. When you are been asked to change your personality; which is a major thing to do. Just to be accepted into a virtual team, just isn’t really good enough. I'm not writing this so you all feel sorry for me. I'm writing this to try and get my point across to everyone in the community that has been pushed away because of who you truly are. So let's carry on, With the person not knowing my actual personality, I feel as if I was misjudged and that I wasn’t given a chance to change or even show them what my best abilities are. I was denied without an explanation of what is “Bad” or “Unsuitable” about my personality. (Yes this is a support Application) for some people, it may be easy to just “change” their entire personality, but for others, it is based on the people around you or how you grow up; the people you grow up with and etc. Including not knowing what is good or bad about your personality can be extremely frustrating and confusing. With my application been posted around a month ago, I feel that it is unfair and that Higher ups are sometimes biased towards who they are accepting, based on opinion, not fact. I have talents that others do not have and of course, others have talents that I do not have. Most of the higher up staff who are to accept/deny these applications don’t truly know what I'm capable of and yet they still attempt to judge me on my past and not look into the fact that I have matured and made different choices over the years, they also have the audacity to tell me that my personality is terrible or unsuitable when they haven’t even given me a chance or got to know me well. In conclusion, I just believe that if it is based on history or personalities if the staff are not certain about it, they should at least give them a chance or try and prove themselves. I understand it is completely fair if people are denied for things such as having low confidence or are not suitable in any of that matter, but been straight up denied for having an unsuitable personality is just rubbish. Thank You for reading this if this has ever happened to you please comment down below like I said I'm not aiming for sympathy I just want to get my point across and if you think that I’m taking this too far or having a sook than you're wrong.

Hi Cables. To provide a different viewpoint on this discussion; I am 34, have been working full-time for 15 years, and have applied for a number of roles over that time. Most I have been successful with and a few I have not. One role I wanted. I wanted it BADLY. But in the end, they decided that my personality/style didn't fit with the culture of the team I would be joining, and the role went to someone else. Does that reflect badly on me or that organisation? I don't think so, sometime it's just not a good 'fit' for the role for many types of reasons. However, it was my gracious acceptance of that decision, and a desire to seek feedback on the reasons for that decision, that led to this organisation considering me strongly for a higher role in the future. How we conduct ourselves when circumstances don't go our way reflect on us more than when they do. You've made a positive step in this process by seeking this feedback above, which I applaud you for. All the best.

@Griffin gets sgt

Hate to sink your ship but you joined 1 hour ago, therefore making you not eligible for the tag.

@Cables. My little story from way way back (@Snowwie will remember) When I went for support almost 8-9 months ago, I was almost immediately denied, after a couple days of trying to figure out why, and thinking about it I realised that it wasn't because of my "personality". It was my behaviour and the message I conveyed about myself and my own maturity when I was online. I asked around, I spoke to all of the leads, all of the managers and most of the staff that knew me and basically said "What can I do better", "How can I improve", "What am i doing wrong?". I took the feedback given to me, wrote it down and changed my Behaviour, not my Personality. You should never change who you are and what you stand for for anyone, but it's important to reconsider how you are behaving sometimes. I reapplied a month later and guess what, I got the position. Just think about how you come across online, and who you are playing with.

May i have a staya vetran plz

not saying you're wrong but turn off VON if it such a big issue or even mute them? if someone is abusing you through text chat, message one of us. there were atleast 4 of us on tonight. if you don't want to come back you do you but leaving the server because of some salty individuals is a bit extreme?

Sorry to hear you haven't had a pleasant time on the server . We can't always monitor everything people say, especially if it's through ingame voice chat. However, we do take player abuse very seriously. I'll send you a private message to get some more details on the incident.

Cables bro, Your opinion is important to everyone in this community because you are apart of it mate. I have messed around with you in Arma and i also play alot of LoL with you. Your a good bloke and you will make it. There are going to be plenty more of these moments in your life but if you fight them you will always win. Im here too mate just like True. You wont get sympathy from me mate, you will get a good kick in the ass to keep trying!

Hello, I really thank you and Snowwie for putting your input into this application and taking the time to read this, I will certainty take into account what both of you have replied with and hopefully when you are free we could talk a little bit more about this, But not for what happend but whats gonna happend and what i can change in the future.

I'd like to start off by thanking everyone for congratulating me on my promotions to Commissioner. What will happen now is that I will be getting some input over ideas myself and other members of the community have come up with. Over the week and maybe next week, I will be conducting interviews with every police officer rank Sergeant or above. If you would like an interview and want your input heard, please send me a private message on the forums stating what you want changed or suggestions that will improve the APD. The main topics that will be discussed: Changes in General Duties, Sydney LAC/Highway Patrol Reintroducing Public slots and the whitelisting of Officers. Police Arsenal and Vehicles S.R.T. Detectives Full time Cop vs Rebel The following Officers are required for an interview, try and arrange this with me on teamspeak please. @Nigel Gluesniff @Mitch096 @Milkdud @★Smokey★ @Hunterr @Spetsnaz AKA Andrew @Augnov @Lucas Gluesniff Promotions and Career Paths In a perfect world we'll have cops that play cop for the experience, not the rank. Which is one of the reasons why I'm against most of the training that was conducted before the reset. People would get promoted based on the completion of their training, rather than their performance. It's okay to get frustrated when someone else gets promoted before you, what's not okay is when you play an hour a week and expecting a promotion. Getting training is not required for a promotion, but it will definitely help. You can ask how to get a promotion, but don't try to ask for one or try to subtly ask for a promotion because it will not end well. I've delayed promotions because of this. Promotions from Prob. Constable to Senior Constable are pretty standard. Show that you know what you're doing and that you can be active and have a good attitude towards cop. Promotions to Sergeant and Senior Sergeant is a bit harder. You have to be a really good leader, shown to have a great attitude, and be able to roleplay or show your dedication and commitment to the APD. My suggestion to this would be joining any police division, Polair/SRT/Detective and be involved in the Police Academy. The Academy has unlimited slots, you just have to put in a little effort to become a member. Promotions to Inspector will be based on your dedication and efforts. An example is Smokey. Yes he's made some mistakes, yes he's done some bad things in the past. He has shown a lot of dedication to cop, most of which is behind the scenes. He's done most of the interviews himself and written up a document to tell others how to do them. Some things that will also be considered into promotions is your performance in hostile situations in terms of communications and situational awareness. Hopefully we can start having some weekly events and training sessions. Updating the Protocols https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LE-r9Crm02ORd0RjwSzJDdP2OWk9NQIf4o93n-YSxrY/edit?usp=sharing After discussion with some command team members, we feel that the current protocols is a bit excessive and most people here probably haven't gone through half of it. There are some minor changes in this protocol and more might even be added. The purpose of updating the protocols is to give officers more discretion and freedom to do what they think is best. I've been on cop almost every day and what I've noticed is that some officers are afraid to take action, especially against trolls. It's okay to tase trolls without a warning, the new protocol is there to protect you incase some troll comes into PD nitpicking every small detail of the protocol and starts yelling "I'm going to IA/Helpdesk, you're meant to give 3 warnings before tasing me". The updated protocols is not in effect yet and hopefully it will be in effect by Sunday. Clarifying the ticket for "Entering PD with malicious intent" As stated in the home page, and the tickets. We spend too much time messing around in PD, most of it is dealing with civilians. If someone comes driving into PD ramming cars or helicopters, send them to jail for 5 minutes. No rights need to be read, no processing needs to be done. They don't need to be given multiple warnings, a ticket or anything because it's just a waste of our time when they don't want to roleplay. Now if someone comes into PD yelling random things, running around, being abusive. You can tase them, restrain them and give them one warning and tell them that if they come back into PD they'll be sent to jail. The other ticket for entering a restricted area (PD/FED) is only used if they've entered PD and haven't done anything wrong. Cop and Rebel Activities Currently, the highest rank you can go while playing in a Rebel/Cartel gang is Senior Constable. This is going to be increased to Sergeant and possibly even Senior Sergeant. To elaborate on what you can and cannot do (none of this is final and will be further discussed): Any rank up to Sergeant You can do whatever you want on civilian. Senior Sergeant to Inspector You may do rebel activities alone without any gang/cartel affiliation. This includes going to the KOS rebel shop. You may be part of a civilian gang and mess around in Sydney, but do note that any server rule you break you may be subject to disciplinary action. You may be part of a civilian contracting group that does not focus on providing security. Example, being part of a transportation company. Superintendent and above Full time cop, absolutely no rebel activity. You are pretty much an off-duty cop on civ. Detectives/SRT Absolutely no rebel activity allowed. Reason being, these roles main job is to prevent rebel activities and they may have access to highly sensitive information and we want to prevent metagaming as much as possible.
