I love how you foreigners try and be nazis correcting eachothers English. Surpass would've been the correct word to use. "If you passed this time" doesn't make sense either How in the hell does "if you surpass this time" make sense This is what you get with Essex schools It makes sense at the very least. Granted a word like exceed would be better.

"Which other developers am I able to contact for final approval? I can't find any information. And are they able to push it onto the server, if approved again?" As I said in the above post, you can contact any dev and get them to give it a preliminary look over if you don't feel 100% to contact NanoBob straight away but in the end it'll always get the final check over by him. "Where would you categorize this script? It is not a major game changing feature, neither is it a new large addon. It is a update to a current system that people were unsatisfied with." Despite this being neither, the minor fix rule applies to official trusted devs only. But professional shit aside, that's the second time you've used the 'older and more experienced' reasoning. If you knew anything, you'd know age means fuck all and you can be a mong at any age. (And @TheK you can keep fueling your opinion into as many random members of the community as you like and posting screenshots but remember they're always going to agree with you regardless when they're receiving your 1 sided biased end of everything. And the fact you feel the need to still just go around and say oh he's got autism n shit still just shows you're still persisting with your person attack against NanoBob,lol)

Christ. I take a short break and people already try and cause a shitfest. So before I start, I'm just gonna copy the dev rules that we have in our dev channel before you carry on what looks to be a personal attack against NanoBob. Development Guidelines for ALL Devs: All Major Game Changing features must be reviewed by SAES HQ before uploading (Highlight @SAES HQ for any questions) All Large New Additions must be checked for vulnerabilities by NanoBob first and important amendments must be performed (Discussions will take place in this channel) Minor fixes are free to be uploaded These rules show what we have in place for the devs. As you can see, the first guideline states that the entire HQ team is responsible for deciding which conceptual things get added to the server and not specifically NanoBob so in no way can he decline anything based on its conceptual details. The second guideline is the most important. Within the dev team, we operate a quality assurance system which ensures all large additions are reviewed by NanoBob for vulnerabilities or amendments. It's no secret that a large number of legacy scripts on the server are traysh and poorly written and as a result this doesn't mean we're willing to continue this trend. All large additions at this stage must abide to a moderate quality to avoid events such as large lag spikes or anything else that can be caused by a minor detail within a script that might've gone unnoticed by someone with less knowledge of our server resources. And the last guideline applies to qualified devs only that they are free to upload minor fixes at anytime. As we say in every one of these threads, if you have any issues with a HQ member you are more than welcome to contact any of the senior HQ staff which are Brophy/Tombaa primarily but instead you decided to ranty attention seeking approach to things. Although one thing I did notice that you stated was "got permission to start working on it myself". Just to clarify to everyone in the community, you don't need permission to work on anything. Anyone is free to make anything and have it checked by NanoBob or have it preliminary checked by a dev first if you're too scared of NanoBob. If you are deemed to have a decent knowledge then we have a special channel on discord for wannabe devs. Just like Geri/Leon. Although anyone MUST be able to take constructive criticism. We certainly won't accept people that throw their toys out the pram if they're requested to make a few minor adjustments. Thanks

Afternoon, we hope everyone's having a good weekend and decided to make a news post about what's been going on within the clan/development news this month. Community Staff As most of you have probably seen already, we've added 3 fresh community staff members to the team however we didn't make an official topic about it because they all suck. In all seriousness, congratulations to @Tut-Greco @Arma and @Groove who hopefully haven't started abusing already yet. Vehicle Mods @Bone has been hard at work adding 2 new vehicle mods to the server. These include both the Club and Enforcer. Images of the mods can be found in the following album: https://imgur.com/a/vFFphvz Both mods are high quality and low in size hopefully giving you a more sexy playing experience. KATLA / 1.4 Development As you all know, KATLA is the new game mode that NanoBob and Deso have been working on for some time now which was initially supposed to be the 2.0 sort of release for the clan. However, due to a disagreement which took place between the HQ Team and the KATLA devs, KATLA will no longer be continuing as a gamemode under the SAES Clan. This means, the KATLA gamemode will still be developed however it will be on a completely different server from SAES and is no longer a clan project, All we can do is apologise as it feels we have been in this situation many times before. Onto a more uplifting topic, this does infact mean that the 1.4 gamemode is our core focus for development from this point on and our active dev team includes @Blade @Mega9 and @jonas13362 . All of them are sexy beasts and will be looking to make the server a better place for you all. Bank Robbery Balance Changes As you've all seen with my topic in general chat concerning the recent BR balance changes, (more details can be found here. This balance changes put in place are very likely to stay due to the intended performance ingame that we've been witnessing despite some contradictory opinions. Please Note: Based on the Kill Arrest change listed below, the money reward border could still be subject to change based on how OP kill arrest is. Kill Arrest Trial So this is probably the core topic to this post. Poll Details can be found here Granted this was a very contradictory feature according to the poll however we've decided to give it a trial anyway. At this current stage, kill arrest will only be enabled in the bank/jail for now. This method of arrest will give criminals 50% less jail time than that of a melee arrest while also rewarding cops with 50% less the reward. Massive props @Mega9 for sorting this. Again, nothing is setting stone here and is purely down to trial due to the high contradictory response we received (we would never expect all criminals to be 100% satisfied with this though). This will be closely monitored with a feedback thread. I think that's all for now, have a great summer. Thanks, ~SAES HQ Team / SAES Dev team PS: Brophy is a mook

Hi again. The idea of kill arresting was brought up between a number of clan members and I today and how suitable it would be for the current 1.4 game mode. Upon further discussion with a few members of the community and said clan members it was later concluded that the optimal way to integrate such a thing into the current game mode would be to only allow it within interiors (particularly jail/bank). As a result, a kill arrest would have 50% less jail time than that of a nightstick arrest. We would like to hear a wider range of opinions on such a thing or how we could perhaps improve on it. Please respond to the poll below. Thanks.

Upon moderation of gang performances in BRs, I'm comfortable with this change staying in place. Most gangs still obtain the 8/8 however I have seen an increased amount of lower successes at certain times of the day. This leads me to believe there is a stronger balance in play than in the previous version.

Hi guys, Usually I would make a poll before adding such changes however as this is a balance change, I don't expect many individuals (particularly criminals) to be the #1 fan of this change however from a police perspective, a change is inevitably required. The current meta So lets be honest, the current meta of BRs typically stands around the average BR lasting around 3-5 minutes with very little failures ever taking place for criminals. This usually takes place by criminals primarily camping the second room and shooting into the main lobby down a narrow corridor towards the cops (which wasn't how the mapping was intended). Due to this, cops never really got past the initial gate and typically barely ever arrested anyone. The Changes With this update, I've changed 2 things in particular. One change is an attempt to extend the time in which a BR takes place. This is because I believe the current time of 3-5 minutes is way too short for cops to even make a strong attempt at stopping a BR (unless it's SWAT in SF who are literally next door). This has been done by extending increasing the crack value on all the doors. The pattern goes as followed: Door 1 - 1,000,000 Door 2 - 2,500,000 Door 3 - 5,000,000 Safe 1 - 1,000,000 Safe 2 - 2,000,000 Safe 3 - 3,000,000 Safe 4 - 4,500,000 Safe 5 - 5,000,000 Safe 6 - 5,500,000 Safe 7 - 6,000,000 Safe 8 - 8,000,000 These numbers have been chosen and tested (cracked by Groove and Nemesis - considered professional crackers) with 2 (out of 10) minutes remaining before the bank reset. This therefore almost doubled the time of the criminals spent inside the bank during the robbery while also significantly increasing the difficulty. The second primary change implemented is an attempt to control the camping which took place in the second room. In order to manage this, I implemented a ColShape which forces players to be behind the following line in order to receive payment for the safes being cracked as seen in the screenshot below: This is an attempt to force players to no longer camp in the second room and either defend at the end of the 2 corridors or defend in the main safe room. Please Note - THIS IS A PURE TRIAL BASIS AND STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE What do I ask of you? Please post below your opinions on the new system after attending a bank rob under the new system. Again, I don't expect everyone to be happy as this is a balance change however 8/8 bank robs should feel rewarding just as they did back in 2013. BRs should be a more engaging and challenging experience for gangs and not just that standard money making scheme. One of the best ways to monitor this change is if HQs of organisations could fill the following form out throughout the week. ::: Gang: No of safes cracked: Length of time (If 8 done successfully): No of crackers: Server Time: Official Squad + PC spawn volume: ::: Thanks
