Yeah, I'd say that was Kavala. Try a different town, Kavala is full of idiots a lot of the time.

Much fun was had tonight, really enjoying TJ's server.
 
Much fun tonight on CPC but some dodgy behaviour by the admins when we tried to rob the bank. I have no proof as that is impossible unless the server was my own server and I had access to logs etc...

But we start robbing the bank and then "JJ" and "CPC Eli" immediately respawn - "JJ was killed" & "CPC Eli was killed". Few minutes later lo and behold we get shot by JJ and CPC Eli.....

Guys it is your server and I guess you can do what you like but hardly fair play to respawn closer to the action. Nice shot on me in the chopper though :)

Couple of muppets on tonight - "Shades"? and "Ratlesnake" just running around and randomly shooting people and / or running them over.

Got some video to edit too :)

Cheers mate, very generous of you! :D

@dlknight - Nothing in the rules against it, if you're not in combat or being chased/restrained/under arrest ect then feel free to do the same. The simple fact is, Altis is too big, even if the entire cop side was full to police it entirely, the whole police force was in Kavala at the time and I suck at piloting in A3 so I don't do it.

I could easily say I was in Pyrgos already but yeah we were in Kavala, if you rob the Federal Reserve I would expect a swift response as really we should have people in each town but stagging on in a town in a game like this isn't fun gameplay for anyone!

I think we had about 7 cops on at the time to cover the entire server and we often (admins) have to keep killing ourselves to go check out first hand issues of police abuse which is why I was back in Kavala to begin with, as we were up in Sofia before and I was about to head down to the Fed Reserve and sit around there but as above I keep having to go back to Kavala to deal with knobheads.

You say its not fairplay but equally its not fairplay to rob the bank when no-ones around to defend it!

I actually recorded the attack:


You definitely need to keep a better eye on that bridge with your chopper pilot!

I think we've responded to all the Fed Reserve robberies today heh, the first two today we were in a chopper and near the area anyway. Probably needs to be a trigger than only allows the robbery when X amount of cops are on IMO otherwise there is only so much that can be done.

You guys knew we were coming when you saw us die so that was a good warning, you could argue that people can spawn anywhere and die in anyway.. its just how the game is but if you rob the bank, surely you want it to be exciting!? :D

Its not something that can be policed easy and if it was banned it would just be a nightmare, I don't want to spend all week doing paperwork, some things just have to be allowed until controlled by the mission file. Imagine if there was a rebel attack in a city, you can guarantee that the entire server will respawn there.

If anyone wants to contribute by adding a mechanism that only allows the robbery when XX amount of cops are online, holla but the mission is very early doors and a lot needs to be perfected for sure.

Edit: Also, banned those two guys you mentioned as they'd been doing similar beforehand aswell.

LOL

I've bumped the slots up to 70 now, will try again with 75 tomorrow night and see how it handles.

I reckon I can streamline the mission to allow for more but I'd say theres definitely not a lack of action as a cop, especially with the fed/reserve!

Will look into some of the other scripts people are running but I think many of them have server side changes aswell and no-ones sharing :/

Same old eh!

I should be able to knock up a vehicle flip script using what we had running in Wasteland if you want.
 
Yeah mate that would be good :)

Many of the fixes are database related so my guess is that they will be in the server side files which is a little annoying, its using Arma2net which is an utter knob to setup, requires running two databases of different versions so I can only imagine what needs to be done to fix it.

Will certainly look into a few features but gear saving is not something I'm interested in, this isn't DayZ and there needs to be a money sink or it would only be worth earning XX amount and then not bothering anymore and these people would dominate the server. If I'm honest, I don't think police gear should save either but I'm not sure how much it would unbalance it if cops gear didnt save.

Major issue though is people getting out of restraints and controlling vehicles/swapping seats (as you can see by my video), the next one is the escorting player bug where it puts your aim off to the side :roll: and the vehicle garage bugs out on such a simple fetch command.

I've posted on the thread but this is twice the guys ignored me.

I think we are one of the only ones running a vanilla server aswell, its no wonder people mod the mission when you get zero support for supporting the creator and doing it all by the book. Who knows, maybe I'm being hasty and he just genuinely didnt see it.
 
Im actually gonna have a couple of hours to play this tonight at last, I got whitelisted as a cop and have had no time to play!

Im looking forward to teaming up with you guys and making Altis a safer place lol
 
Is there a second inventory as I bought some bottled water and can't find it to drink it? Loving this MOD if only I could pick 4.5k worth of apples in 2 minutes!

Is my Altis life going to be better than my actual life....?

Hey :)

No worries - it was us that tried to rob the bank earlier as well - think you got one of our guys then we aborted and did a dash away in the chopper after we had seen your gunship lol

I was piloting the chopper and looking at the bridge but was also scanning the horizon looking for an incoming gunship as I thought that was what you were going to do lol The camo you guys are wearing must make you very hard to spot even with nightvision.

There was only two of us so probably need a bigger crew next time or better positions lol

I should never have stopped there with autohover on - we have better plans for the next robbery :P so hopefully we can make it successful.
 
Thanks for being understanding mate :)

Its just pure desert camo, nothing special but I guess with nightvision everyone blends in heh. I cut it out but all the way across that bridge I was talking to Eli saying if this happens while here, we hit the ground.. start firing and I'll move off first and we'll keep leap frogging until we get close enough to do some damage.

I got a much better attack on some other people there with some incoming fire and fire and manoeuvre (arm chair style!) across that bridge in the daylight, that was really fun you can see all the rounds hitting near us but not a single fudge was given.. push on! I cant post it here as there are swearies in :(

I also recorded the other attack and when we got to the door and you had left, we saw a body and was like.. wutt? Someone died here?? Then scrolled the chat up and saw I got the kill aswell, so we were searching for you guys for ages, we found the one we killed in Sofia but couldnt find you lot at all.

Just FYI that gunship, has no ammo in the chain guns for some reason :(
 
Think I will give the Arma 2 Mod a blast before splashing out 40 beans on Arma 3. From what I have seen it looks worth it just to play this mod!
