Nice update. Can we please expand the tilde range on foot a bit more? it is very hard to initiate RP on foot when I can't text the guy. From what I understand, the point of shortening this is to stop people from "scanning" for others hiding in bushes. These scans rarely, if ever happen while someone is on foot. Maybe make the tilde range up to 700M on foot, but leave vehicle and heli the same?

Texting someone to engage RP is usually low quality shit RP anyways. Get close, use voice, roleplay.

The ranges i've set are pretty reasonable. I'll be looking into increasing spotting distances based on if you're looking through binoculars, or through a scope perhaps (probably not possible for if looking down scope).

And to clarify, the distance limitations are the same regardless of what vehicle you're in, the limitations are based on what type of unit you're targeting.

No matter if I was 5 meters away or 70 meters away tilde didn't work, I can pick up stuff like like, "Lamp (Small)" and other objects but not people, vehicles, or heli's and so on. And the other weird thing is, Im seeing military ranks next to civs name?

Forget the phrase tilde, I just called it that because it's what people are familiar with. The new mechanic is like a constantly enabled 'spotter'. If you move your cursor right over another unit and they're within the required distance for their unit type then the player tag will be enabled for a few seconds, or for as long as you look at them.

The current system has some slight bugs, but the main functionality works.

it prevents you to send a text to the guy 600m away and shoot him out.

I can confirm you can see military ranks next to SOME players name. Not next to all players name, but like 60-70%.

*Is praying to the oh mighty Poseidon for a hotfix on server slots issue*  It is causing quite the confusion and disarray even with all the temporary fixes out already (thanks Bubbaloo).  When it's not busy it works out eventually - but when it is busy there is a standstill on redeployment/getting backup for cops and medics almost completely until there is a break in calls.  

As always I'm sure you've already worked it out - or you are already addressing it seeing as there was a ton of support from admins and mods to help solve this issue.  Either way good luck and thanks again!

Update is great all-in-all.  Thanks for coming up with an alternative form of getting names and fixing licenses. You certainly delivered with this one, nice work.

Wouldn it be possible to add ctrl+T send a message player you are looking at. And it would show the name once you send msg
