I'll see if maybe we can start thinking about that... Start a donation run similar to what you do with Splunk, just advertise it more and make sure the rewards are good enough. I'm sure it wouldn't be to costly to bring in a short time developer who knows how to work with Arma UI to make something good. I'm sure you can get in touch with the OPTiX or the Developers of End Days Tanoa who are incredibly talented in GUI work for their servers. Many servers do something similar, they will start the month with a Donation Goal and the reward being something the community really wants, once the goal is reached, the community is rewarded. Not only is this another source of income, it can be done with many things. $600 Goal for Coloured Ifrits, $800 Goal for GUI redesign, $500 for new Cop vs Rebel activity, etc.. etc.. You get the Idea. It can be done with any in game item, any reward, literally anything as long as it is rewarded to everyone, not just people donating, doesn't breach ToS and a amazing way to bring in more money BlackShot, Google™, Monster and 3 others like this Link to comment

This is a great chance for you to practice just making stuff up. Make it somewhat believable though for the best results. One thing I've learned in life is that the best lies have an element of truth to them. Try using that philosophy in game... Have you considered creating a backstory for Asylum Altis Life so that users can read it on the forum and base RP around it? I realize not everyone will know this but eventually it will catch on, especially if there's a welcome message advising new players to follow a link and read up on it and to craft their RP around it.

explicit Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Nice patch and all but are we going to try and fix the frequent crashes or am I just going to have to learn to live with them? We're nearing a year with persistient lag. It's come to the point where I rarely make money anymore because the servers always end up fucking me over. I mean shit, the fed bug fix in this patch is amazing when the servers can actually not go down when one is happening. I think I speak for the majority of the community here when I say I'm tired of this shit reoccurring. It's just getting worse and the servers are oftentimes unplayable. What's the point in adding all of these new features if you can only experience them a quarter of your time on the servers because they're always going down? Can we just focus on the main issue at hand? Edited December 7, 2016 by explicit bunni, Pentax, Scott and 1 other like this Link to comment

BlackShot Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Honestly, for this whole time I've been using the scroll wheel option. I even tried to adapt myself to the hotkey, but I simply didn't like the fact I had to reload my weapon every time I pressed it. I know it can be changed by using Custom Controls, but I chose not to mess with that. Either way, I can say it's not that pain in the ass as some are thinking. It's just about practice and habit. rodrigo silva, Mr. Linux and BioHazard like this Link to comment

Issue with the Splunk donation is that most of the community don't know the importance of Splunk. Having it in your signature and stream overlay won't get it enough attention to get people to donate. Get it put on the frontpage, CM makes a important announcement post about it, you inform the community about the importance of it, people will donate. Now apply those to rewards that people really want, people will donate regardless. It works for much smaller communities, why wouldn't it work here?

Yeah most people who donated for Splunk were Sgts including myself. Most civilians don't know how big a role Splunk plays in keeping this community running, such as providing sync logs to combat exploiters or gathering data on player population and trends.

Sometimes it does not work. I look at the floor and press the key and nothing happens. I've never tried to soft log and see if that fixed because I usually notice it during fights.
