  1. In respect to law, it is far better to try and solve the issue either through civil law channels or the business methods that have been seen in this thread. The threats of violence towards Martin from this person would be extremely difficult to form a case round due to the law within the UK. This is mainly due to the fact that the law involving this for the UK is archiac with the most recent amendments to the Acts being in 1977. There are several offences that Martin could attempt to take to a solicitor under the Offences Against Persons Act 1861. Under section 16 it is stated; "(1) A person who without lawful excuse makes to another a threat, intending that that other would fear it would be carried out, to kill that other or a third person shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years." The problem here is that it has to be proven that the threat was made and that it was intended to make Martin feel as though it would be carried out and that Martin feared this. Since the threat was made in Russia and Martin is in the UK, it would be extremely difficult to prove that this was the case for Martin. In addition to this S47 assault could never be proven due to its defintion being, 'To cause the victim to apprehend immediate unlawful personal violence.' The problem here is immediacy. In this case there is none as in order for the person to carry out the threat to Martin, they would have to take a long plane journey, find him in the uk and then carry it out. This shows that it would be extremely difficult to try and bring a criminal law case to the people carrying out the threats through skype and other emails. This is espeically the case in that the Crown Prosecution Service would have to contact Russian authorities to apply to get a Russian citizen extradited to the UK on an assault charge which is never going to happen. UK law has comprehensive civil law that protect property holders and businesses that could be looked at. Unfortunately I can not elaborate on this such law as it is not an area I have dealt with. Again due to the international aspect it would be highly difficult to ever get both parties in front of a judge for a trial that could cost millions. Unfortunatley legal departments in the international community take little care in the games industry when it comes to custom content. I have not yet seen an EULA (for addons or other DLCs), be used in order to bring a case to court. Usually lawyers will dismiss the prospect of a trial as it is such a fine point of law that is near impossible to win. It would therefore be advisable to continue to use alternative methods as seen in this thread. Both through the publisher, the community and the website itself.

    sooo.... its 1st of april

    Martial Arts Anyone?
  3. Could this also be used to take data or stats thats are custom. For example a client variable that is exclusive to one mission that can be copied to the server ? Like money for example in a rp sever.
  4. Hi, We have recently set up a mod called Epic Rpg (Website:www.epicrpg.org). We have a mission in place with alot of features however we would like to enchance this with a Login/Save system that saves all your stats on the server, e.g Money, car keys, guns etc etc. Mods such as chernarus life already have this and we were wondering if anyone could help us create a sytem like this. Thanks, Core Development Team
  5. Is there a Step by Step guide to setting this up for a dedicated server ? if there is can someone send me a link as I can only find the link for the guide for 2008's version.
