Actually here’s a better concept while I’m thinking on it: First, make the current UI more minimalistic Then, have certain elements of it only appear for a brief time when they have been changed. (Example: Health starts to regen, so health bar appears/flickers for 4 seconds then disappears again) This would also allow you to add money and maybe other information to the UI without it being super intrusive (assuming you once again kept it small and minimalistic) Have a hot key (idk tilda key?) to make everything appear for a brief time to allow people to see their information at will Have a way to tell if different things (bounty, money, health, weight) it’s going up or down. My ideas here are either make the element have like a gradient shine like this (https://codepen.io/zerdmann/pen/WGJgKj) with either a light green or light red to signify loss or gain, or to use extremely small colored text that’s slightly transparent (such as +5 or -24) to show the exact values lost or gain. Knowing the UI with Arma; it won’t be easy, but this stuff would actually probably be a pretty sweet upgrade that isn’t just smaller text. I can talk with you in TS if you want more details to make a concept.

What makes a good UI for games now days is minimalism. If your gonna attempt to redo it, you are going to want to de-clutter what is currently implemented in-game. I’m talking smaller/thinner progress bars, the ability to toggle the hud via an action key, and introducing more innovative ideas to handle text messaging (or messages in general) as well as confirmed kills and stuff. The last thing people wish for is more information on their screen when they can press a button and see it anyways. Especially when this information is not imperative to know 24/7.

o7 man and enjoy retirement! Always was a joy to play games with you and having you at my back when you were with me in Senior APD and staff. I do expect to play some games with you are Jordan every now and then.

Definitely a moment to remember that help is out there guys, and if you are ever contemplating suicide or in that state of mind, call 1-800-273-8255.
I didn’t even know Reckful but it gives me the feels from hearing about Sociopathic for the first time. Sad stuff. Fuck 2020

Yeah probably most people that bet. The reason it is that way however is because Arma is unoptimized as fuck and so when each exchange of information from one client to another takes place, it can place stress on clients and the server. Most Cooldowns are there to prevent said stress. Betting is a bad player in that because it requires Player requests other player to do bet > player accepts bet > bet is decided > Bet decision is given to other player. that amount of remoteExecs at once, and many people doing it at once among everything else going on in the server = recipe for server performance to be in the shitter.

Getting a full webcam and some new PC setup stuff. Needed full RGB so now my games will be running smooth as hell.

I just got the Corsair virtuoso. I love it, but if you have big ears it'll probably be uncomfortable and it’s definitely a bit heavy. Sound is great with a little EQ adjustments and the mic I hear is decent when I have tested it (however I use a standalone normally). Give it a shot and break into it for a week. If you still don’t like it then just send it back.

It won’t delete, just will be less useful. Get two randoms to join your gang. -

@TheCmdrRex Not sure myself. I just recall Olympus' VON sounding bad for as long as I can remember and never understood why it was like that. Nobody seemed to question it either. But oh well, not an issue anymore.

always wondered why olympus had worse voip than other servers, thought it was for performance

Roundtable Summary 2020-05-30
PoptartRex commented on SuWooP 's blog entry in Civilian Representative
I get wanting things to be more active and adding things to do, but why add more events that basically just generate money with little risk when also actively trying to add money dumps? Just seems.... contradictory. -

Oooo hear me out: We make the player invisible and put an AI in it's place, and then path the AI to the car. Fuck even better we just replace the player with the AI all together. They probably hit more shots than 70% of the players -

Congrats? The issue wasn't making the code. It was whether or not teleportation was the intended feature. That code right there will still teleport. Just compared to the one used in game right now, that one will show an animation. -
I feel as if a simple 10 - 20% buff would no longer be effective. These buffs happen often enough - and assuming correctly, it really doesn't increase the amount of people doing runs. I mean the real issue with runs is a combination of many factors: Via other means of getting money It's a lot easier than runs It's a lot more fun than runs It can be quicker than runs Additionally, getting money from runs is a LOT harder to win the battle against APD, or attacking gangs comparatively than a fed. Probably more factors too The best case has been let people do the runs for you. You'll end up betting them later and getting the money anyway lol IMO the only way to ever "fix" runs is to buff illegal over 25%, but to make it so that APD stopping/seizing are getting a very small portion of that price (this stops the majority from just playing cop and stopping runs to get their money). Buffs to legal don't actually help, as that encourages the bigger/stronger gang to rob people doing legal more often,which *should* be the only real threat on a legal run.

Only reason it never made it in before was whether or not we want teleportation of the person into the vehicle due to the nature of the modding script. Once that got approved just recently I even had some left over code for it
