Could you add a bank terminal to the terrorbase also? It's pretty remote when you get out there and forgot to bring money

If theres one in 1.01 ignore, I haven't looked in 1.01

That's true mate. But you can always host your own server.

The best way to get everyone playing the mission as it should be played, is use addons... This way they NEED the addons before they can join. People just jump on random servers, not even looking what type of mission is being played... Hopefully this will help.

Played this a LOT recently, from a general opinion gathering ive heard these requests come up multiple times:

1) The bank. Bank robberies are very irritating, something needs to be done to make robberies happen less, because at the moment. Cops' main objective is to just stand at the bank. And if they do not bother, money HAS to be kept on your person otherwise you will just lose it when someone spawns, robs and drives away. Also you have to constantly keep collecting your money from the bank or it gets stolen. Either we need a 'secure' bank where we have to pay some sort of additional fee or some other concession, and this bank cannot be robbed, it allows people to have somewhere safe to store money instead of just having it constantly robbed.

2) Cop menu: at the moment you need to hold down enter, new cops end up accidentally disarming people and then they cannot give these weapons back. Why should they have to hold down enter? the automatic selection is disarm, it should stay up until the cop presses esc so that they dont automatically disarm someone.

Cheers, keep up the great work Hope you get some nice addons in too, will stop the idiots just jumping in, killing everything, then disconnecting and screwing up the game. =)

I agree that bank-robberies seem rather too central to the game. Perhaps have each bank robbery take 10% of the money so that there are both more robberies (fun) and less people becoming paupers (not fun). Most "real" bank robberies empty the cashier drawers of money anyway; they don&#39;t empty the entire vault&#33; Alternatively, you could scale the amount taken based on how much individuals have, which "taxes" the rich, reducing inflation, but doesn&#39;t cripple the poor. Thus, someone with &#036;1,000,000 might loose 50% in a robbery, but someone with &#036;10,000 might only lose 5%. Imagine a rich player, that stands to lose a lot in a robbery, hiring poor players, who stand to lose little, to guard the bank for them&#33;

The problems with the enter key on menus is often overlooked, since most people use the middle-mouse-button to select actions, not the enter key (which is another of the ArmA default keybinds for activation of actions). I&#39;m sure that most developers aren&#39;t even aware that their dialogs are causing problems for people using the enter key. The easy workaround for this, that I commonly use, is to add a "dummy" button that is off-screen (y = -3;), has no action (action = "";) and also is the default button on the dialog (default = 1;). This way, when people use enter to select the action, they end up clicking this dummy button which doesn&#39;t cause them to do something they might not intend to do. Ideally, it would be better if ArmA hadn&#39;t mapped the keys like this, because even though the player can alter the binding, you really have to assume that people will be using the default keys.

what about allow bank to hire &#39;guard&#39; (either AI or player) ...

same goes for &#39;player owned&#39; banks

Good stuff&#33;
