We see a lot of talk here about the guns not being to street value, yet no one has really made any suggestions to what street value is. Looking at the economy of StrayaGaming Altis Life, there is a total of $8,916,824,486.00 in the economy. Now, there has been a total of 13,992 unique players on the server. If we do some basic math here, we find that each player holds an average of $637,280 per player. So, taking into account that there are players who join the server and then leave almost instantly, or players who have had account wipes etc. So, lets take another sample of the average players account. For example, I will take 10 random players, add their bank accounts together and we'll see an average amount of money from there. From these ten samples, I got a total of $122,116,438 So, the average amount of money from these 10 samples is 12.2 million. So is a cost of 3-4million for a Lynx or Navid really that unrealistic. Yes. its a quarter of the average for those 10 peoples cash, but that just speaks as to the rarity of the firearm. They are not meant to be easily obtained for almost any person to be able to get easily. Its a high risk item with great reward if used properly.

So, @Gotenks, when's the next event coming along? Some of us oughta be itching for the next one by now.

I think TFR would be a nice option for people to use. I would install it on the game as an optional mod and allow those who wish to use it the ability to do so. If the mod is installed and running, even if only 10 people use it, its not going to effect the other people in any way, shape or form, they can still communicate with the other players using TS if they switch channels or by using side chat and sending a message via text.

Yes, they are included in the next update EMS Skins??? Thank god. Will all vehicles have emergency lights as well? @Red

Not as straight forward when setting up textures on vehicles that run multiple textures. An example of this is with the Marshall APC. The Marshall uses a set of 3 different textures, each texture corresponds to a certain area of the vehicle or item. In the code "this" is designated the object that the code is going to be executed on, by specifying our command as "this", we are telling Arma that we want to run on the object running the init script. The next argument is rather straight forward "setObjectTexture" is telling Arma that we are changing the texture on the specified item or vehicle. The final arguments are within the enclosed brackets "[0, example.jpg]" In the brackets, the 0 is referring to the area in which we are applying the texture. In cases where only 1 texture is used, this will refer to the object in its entirety. Objects that have multiple textures will use further values to designate different textures and areas. Using the prior example, the Marshall designates textures using the following data set, not all vehicles will follow this and it may differ, you will have to experiment and find the correct set for your vehicle. This is for the Marshall: 0 - Main body 1 - Tires and lower body 2 - Turret The ; in the line is telling Arma that we are finishing a command. An example of a retexture for an SUV (uses a single texture) would be as follows this setObjectTexture [0, "SUV_Custom.jpg"]; An example of a retexture for a Marshall (uses multiple textures) would be as follows: this setObjectTexture [0, "Marshall_Body.jpg"]; this setObjectTexture [1, "Marshall_Tires.jpg"]; this setObjectTexture [2, "Marshall_Cannon.jpg"]; Excuse the poor wording

@BradB Hospitals were meant to be decked out ages ago. Back before when Zomboid had recently becomes Chief, it was meant to be done. @ExcelForce it is great to hear that something that was agreed to be done ages ago is finally being done. I hope ot turns out really well, a better working environment to come with the recent budget grants from the Altis Government are much appreciated. always need some RP in the post right?

As stated already, the rules to say that you need to wait to be called in to utilize the CAS on a variety of targets. So in saying this, the CAS role is not for everyone, if your just wanting to fly around and shoot at things, set up a scenario on the editor. CAS can still be used on Tigris's and Cheetahs for ground targets, and can still hit air targets. If your getting tired of waiting, drop a message in chat saying CAS is standing by or just switch out to a transport pilot for a while. And this shall be accompanied by two A-10 memes. https://i.imgflip.com/u2rf0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9oMUS1t.jpg

I don't think the HEMTT needs to be removed in its entirety. The HEMTT is often used (when purchased) to do runs, in some cases it is also used for RP. The centre link truck missions may not need to be a HEMTT, a smaller truck should suffice, however I can understand a reasoning for using them. If the vehicle were to remain the vehicle received for the mission, perhaps move the spawn area for them to outside of the cities, maybe at a depot or have the truck missions collected at a depot. Also removing them from inside major cities and reducing trolls. I hope this makes sense. Writing it on my phone and I'm half asleep

Why dont we just convert their name into hexadecimal and use that. One random hexadecimal value is picked at random, and any user with that in their names can fight it out to win Or we can just use letters, but that's too simple.

I get Gaming equipment, laptops, and stock market shares, which fits in with what I'm looking at on the internet, minus stock markets, no idea where that has come from. So the question is what have you guys been looking up to get ads like that? Or you've just disabled your advertising ID and its just giving you random or popular content.

The reason the event hasn't been tried to be run again is due to issues on our side, being my game is broken, Aidan is busy, I'm busy, etc etc. At this point I will probably be looking to delegate control of the event to another person so that it can go ahead.

I think the idea of allowing the Apex players to purchase some of the Apex items is a great idea. I feel as if we move from an Altis Life to a Tanoa Life we would lose a significant amount of players, myself included, seeing as I personally don't have Apex, nor the funds to acquire it. I'm fully aware that there is a large amount of extremely powerful equipment in the Apex DLC. So maybe cut a bit of it out. Seeing a rebel gang flying around in a VTOL carrying a strider around would be a little overpowered, and let's be honest, what sort of rebel gang has a military VTOL.

@Fitz That depends entirely on your area and who owns the cable. I was with TPG using a Telstra owned cable, we were getting 1megabit down and the up was so bad it wasn't even worth testing. We have recently switched to Telstra and we get 8mb down, not entirely sure what my up is. Note that I'm still on ADSL, same as I was before. Note that we still use the sane cable.

As some of you are aware, I've recently been experiencing some major issues with my Arma3, being unable to connect to any servers. I can get as far as the lobby, sometimes I can even spawn in... for about ten seconds and then I get kicked with the message of "You were kicked from the game". I've asked people who are in game whether there is any further information on why I was kicked in the in game feed, I've only heard that there is no message and it just says I was kicked, sometimes saying there was a signature check timeout and that it might be a steam or Battle-Eye issue. So far I've tried every solution I've found on the internet, every suggestion that's been made to me, and every solution I can think of and yet it was all to no avail. I've tried things such as clearing caches, verifying game files, deleting all of my MP files, deleting my profiles, even going as far as deleting and reinstalling Arma3, Steam and Battle-Eye. Yet after all this I am still experiencing the same issue. I've sent messages to BI hoping that I may get some reply or anything that might point me in the right direction. If I get some BS response from them, if I get a response at all, I'll be moving on to do the same thing with Battle-Eye and Steam. If anyone has any idea's or possible solutions that I can try that would be greatly appreciated. -Lotza

So I've noticed that not many people do any form of paradrops. There are parachutes in the game and they are a great form of insertion. How many people actually do paradrops and do you agree with the idea that they are a great form of insertion and can be quite fun at times?

A real sniper uses real scopes. TWS just make it to easy to locate and kill targets. Use an LRPS, use that tracking skill of a real sniper.

Speaking as an Executive Staff Officer of the EMS, I would like to point out that if an EMS is threatened and told not to revive any individual, regardless of who makes the threat, the EMS may not revive the said individual. If you still wish to contest that, I can also bring the "Value For Life" rule into play. The Value For Life rule here can be used as if a medic is being threatened and told not to revive, if they fear for their lives, they may leave the area in order to protect themselves. A lot of the time if a medic leaves the area due to a threat such as this they will return to the scene of the crime to attempt to revive if the player has not re-spawned.

We now have a system in place to record public slot medics who break rules, leave vehicles out, or if you just have generalized complaints about. If you do not have the link to the report form for this please contact myself, @Zomboid or @Fletcher for the link. Please note this form is only for whitelisted medics and above.

My medics went flying completely out of the map in a truck once or twice. Sitting there waiting, someone went AFK, came back and they were still airborne. About 5 minutes of air time.

Looking good.

Looks great man. Hope to see this really kick off. @[AI] STALKER
