    Altis Life Update - 7.02.01

    By Odin,

    Update time is here lad and lass',
    As of now update 7.02.01 has been pushed to the servers and will go live (if it hasn't by the time you read this) on the next restart. This update in particular marks an important time in the Olympus community's development history as after hearing from the community, our founder Poseidon has found the trust needed to allow myself the ability to push updates to the live servers as they are needed. I'd like to thank both Poseidon for the trust that he is putting in me and thank the community for the support that I have received these past few days. The development team as a whole does work to get what we can to the servers in a timely fashion and now with this new ability, hopefully we will be able to get those patches and features fixed and added respectively for everyone to play with.
    All of that said, changes for 7.02.01 are more of a patch than anything else. Details can be found below:
    Medic SUV lights should no longer stay on the ground. APD have had their equipment changed: MXC has been removed from the APD. Patrol Officers have been granted access to the MX. Patrol Officers have been granted access to the Police vest previously restricted to Corporals and above. Uniforms for SGTs have been fixed. Pricing for the P07 has been corrected to $10 for all ranks. APD have had their vehicle allocations changed: APD Ghosthawk is now available to Sgts and above. APD Hellcats are now restricted to Dep. Chiefs and above. Any Sgt or Lt with a Hellcat need to sell the bird or risk having it removed without compensation. APD Striders are now available to Lts and above. Turtle selling was investigated both on local development environments and on the live servers, but no issues were determined. Please ensure that you are carrying turtles on you and are attempting to sell at the Turtle Dealer Southeast of Pyrgos. If you encounter a bug at any time, please report them via the Olympus Support System (http://olympus-entertainment.com/support/). Make sure to choose "Bug Report" for the Department.

    As many of you know, version 7.03 was officially released this past Friday (11/20/15) and contained a few bugs which to say the least, were irritating to play with. This weekend was dedicated to fixing what we could with a few minor updates that were not able to be included in 7.03's original release. The following have been implemented and will take effect on the next server restart:
    Bug Fixes:
    MX 3GL is now able to properly switch between lethal and tazer rounds. Teargas effects have been disabled for the time being. Performance issues regarding how players were effected once fired prompted this. The grenades will remain available, however they are regular smoke grenades at this time. Lights and sirens for the APD Zamak should work properly now. Updates:
    Sirens for both APD and R&R have been updated to make them more distinct. Wail Sirens have been renamed to Primary Sirens. Yelp Sirens have been renamed to Secondary Sirens. Primary and Secondary Sirens may NOT be used at the same time. Players must disable one to use the other. APD and Medics now have access to a custom "horn" which may be used while in the driver position by pressing "G". "Rank Tags" above APD players properly reflect ranks as shown in TeamSpeak. New Additions:
    "Rank Tags" have been added for R&R. Note that CURRENTLY, these tags follow the same scheme as the APD. BE SURE TO CHECK WHO YOU'RE SHOOTING AT. Rank specific uniforms have been added for R&R ranks Search & Rescue, Air Responder and Coordinator. Missing virtual icons have been added for the following items: Browiser Fireworks Organic Burgers Cupcakes Not a big update like everyone is hoping for but be assured that the development and designer teams are working diligently to get what the community desires.
    Odin Out.

    Altis Life Hotfix - 7.03.01

    By Odin,

    A quick fix has been implemented intended to solve minor issues with the siren change that was implemented with the last update.
    Also being fixed is the fabled Ice Cream Truck. This truck was not intended to be purchasable by everyone and as such, has been restricted to the proper party(s). If you purchased an Ice Cream Truck, you will have 7-days to either sell the truck or change the skin via the Truck Service Station. Failure to do so may result in the truck being removed from your garage without comp.

    Here we are again everyone, welcome to Olympus' Altis Life version 7.03. This update has brought a few undisclosed bugs as well as the following additions and modifications.
    General Changes:
    Teargas has been added to the servers, identified by Orange Smoke. Certain equipment is capable of mitigating the effects of Teargas, which are broken into a Physical effect and a Visual effect. To make things interesting, what protects from teargas will not be revealed at this time. APD Changes:

Equipment Updates: Sergeants will again have the ability to purchase both standard and improved uniforms. Deputies and above now have access to masks allowing protection against deployed Teargas. Uniforms have been redesigned, moving them away from the former gray/black/white. Vehicle Updates:  Corporals and higher now have access to the Covered Zamak. Access to the Hellcat has been limited to Dep. Chief and above. Access to the Strider has been lowered to Lieutenant and above. R&R Changes:
    General Updates: On-duty medics will now be visible on the map to other on-duty medics.  
    APD Handbook Update - Chapter 13
    Teargas is to used only when responding to one of the following: Federal Reserve Robbery Federal Prison Break Rebel Outpost Raid Gang Hideout Raid House Searches Terror/Riot Exception: Use of Teargas may be used in any non-listed circumstance when permission is given by an on-duty Sergeant or higher. Teargas protection is to be worn only when gas is being deployed.

    Altis Life 7.03 Update

    By Odin,

    As many know, update 7.03 for our Altis Life servers was pushed for use on the servers. Due to a technical issue, implementation of the update was postponed. After working with Poseidon, the issue has been resolved and should allow the servers to update to version 7.03 upon their next scheduled restart.
    We apologize for the delay in getting out these new features and bug fixes. For more info on what version 7.03 entails, please refer to the following Dev Blog.

    With the release of our Altis Life version 7.02.01 we had a number of bugs come into play. With this Patch 1, the following issues will be resolved:
    APD .45 not tazing targets. APD Ghosthawk not texturing properly for Sergeants. R&R HEMTTs not texturing properly for Paramedics. The single addition which does not count as a "patch" is the addition of Diving Goggles for the APD, even if they'll never be used. 
    The new files have already been pushed to the servers and will be available after the first restart after the posting of this entry.
    If any bugs, glitches or issues arise, please refer to the Ticket Report Info Thread and follow the instructions under the "Bug Report" section.
     
    Thank you for playing with Olympus Entertainment.

    Hello and welcome,
    Some of you may know me, some may not. My name is Odin and I am an Administrator and Developer here at Olympus Entertainment.
    Over the past few months, many rumors have been thrown around concerning the fabled "Olympus Entertainment Altis Life Remake," hereafter referred to as the remake. I am here today via our new blog system to formally announce that we at Olympus will be releasing a new, revised version of developer Tonic's role play mission, Altis Life.
    As I sit here typing this, Head Olympus Developer Poseidon is working diligently to set up a new working environment focused on the development of the remake. Once established, we will begin development in full swing and will, with any luck provide semi-regular development reports to keep the community informed on what they can expect going forward.
    We at Olympus Entertainment appreciate the patience that our player base has had with us over these past few months. We realize that it has been a dark time when it comes to dissemination of information and we hope that going forward we can change that habit to both bring up moral for our current players and increase interest for our newer players.
    From the Olympus Staff, thank you for sticking with us.
