BlueBirdRP

BlueBirdRP General Q: Where are the rules and are they enforced? A: The rules are located here they are enforced, you can find yourself removed permanently from BlueBird if you don't follow them, its well worth the read, some can have a higher consequence than others if broken however, but the expectation is that they are all followed. Q: What are your servers key binds? A: You can find the key binds to the city here. Q: Why do I get told to find out in rp (role play)? A: When people are starting out learning to Roleplay they don't necessarily understand the concept. People go from "Help me I cant do the oil refining job to Hi I'm new its my first day on the job, I'm a truck driver for an oil refiner, can you help me report for work?" It helps you by forcing you into interactions and building on them. Q: How I do the jobs? A: By getting a job in the job centre, most jobs will show blips on your map, you will usually have a location where you get your job vehicle and change clothes before proceeding to the work site. You should ask more questions in roleplay if you need to understand more about how your job works. Q: Why can I not see all the jobs? A: Some jobs are more complex than others and are only shown after a minimum time within BlueBird so you don't overwhelm yourself at once. Q: How do I become whitelisted? A: Whitelisting is a privilege and is reserved only for Role-players who we feel have earned the reward. You must be referred for whitelisting by another whitelisted member or BlueBird member of staff. Q: How do I setup my characters? A: BlueBird has 2 character systems, the one you use where you fly in is via the command /skin and the other is via the F1 menu. Q: Where are my characters stored? A: Where the character is created by /skin or when you fly into the city, we have that character on the server. Where its been done by F1 its located on your computer's file system here: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\CitizenFX Q: When does the server restart? A: The server restart twice a normally between 7:00am-7:30am UTC+10 and 4pm-4:30pm UTC+10 Q: Where is the change log? A: Changes are usually only advised where its necessary, there is rarely a day that goes by in the city where something isnt changed, tweaked or added, not all of it is visible, alot of it can be back of house. Queue Q: How can I skip the queue? A: You can queue skip by either supporting the server or becoming whitelisted. For whitelisting the quality expected is quite high. Q: Why hasn’t the queue moved? A: During peak times the queue can get quite large and BlueBird may reserve slots. Usually there is active management throughout the night so if there is a lull those reserve slots are returned for general use. Q: How does the queue work? A: Supporters and whitelisted players enter the queue and ranked by priority, by default that priority is the sum of their subscription tiers across the different levels, subscriptions at the same level (ie: two Gold) will have one treated as Bronze due to discord tag limitations. Q: I’m verified but I keep getting rejected by the server A: See here for some helpful troubleshooting instructions Q: I've linked everything and I'm not getting my supporter: A: There is an entire guide on ensuring your identity is linked thorugh the different services Forums -> Discord -> FiveM client as this daisy chain is how the server is able to see your discord id and validate your perks. If you have linked everything and you have your discord tags/roles. Try leaving the queue for 3-5 minutes, this forces you to timeout of the queue and the queue stops remembering your place in it. After you timeout the next time you re-join it, it will do a full re-evaluation of your permissions/entitlements. Q: I'm not verified, but I am? A: Try closing discord and FiveM down and reopening it, ensure you have steam open and discord open as well. You need to have the desktop application for both these tools. See here for some helpful troubleshooting instructions Supporter Q: How do I activate a donator subscription and how long does it take to activate? A: Supporter is activated immediately, you do need to link your discord to the forums, receive your discord roles, have your discord linked to FiveM, and the server validate your roles from those linkages to receive the benefit. You can find additional help here. Q: How can I upgrade a donator subscription? A: Depends how you paid, if you paid by PayPal, you'll need to go and cancel your PayPal billing agreement first here and then access the Managed Purchases page here, and then you should be able to modify your subscription tier or even cancel it by clicking on the orange Manage button. If you paid by credit card, you can skip to the Manage Purchases option. Q: How can I cancel a donator subscription or unsubscribe? A: You can do so from this link: https://bluebirdrp.live/index.php?/articles.html/tutorials/how-to-cancel-a-subscription-r12/ Q: Where are the supporter stores? A: Some supporters have stores as a thank you for supporting them, these benefits are not officially provided by the donator subscription and are thus unlisted, no all supporter tiers have stores and usually you need at least any gold tier to access benefits. Q: I purchased feathers and you bastards haven’t given it to me yet? A: You can find instructions on redeeming here. Q: What happens if I do a chargeback? A: You should contact BlueBird to discuss any issues you're having, any chargeback raised will result in being permanently excluded until the matter is resolved. Q: Can i change a characters Slot if I end my Subscription or lose my Whitelisting? A: No sorry, Currently we do not allow or have the capability to move characters between slots. Q: What do I get if I support BlueBird? A: The advertised benefits are available in our discord channel #how-to-support-the-server There are other benefits for different ones that are not advertised as these are not guaranteed. Behaviour Q: Why did I get a yellow card? A: In short it was because of your behaviour. BlueBirdRP has rules that help keep the community running most efficiently and happily. Not everyone will agree with those rules and that is fine, but not abiding by them will result in punitive action. A yellow card is a minor infraction, take the advice. Q: Why did I get a red card? A: In short it was because of your behaviour. BlueBirdRP has rules that help keep the community running most efficiently and happily. Not everyone will agree with those rules and that is fine, but not abiding by them will result in punitive action. In contrast a red card is a more serious infraction, the person issuing it sending you a message to stop the behaviour or you will be banned next time. Q: Why did I get quarantined or banned? A: You may be banned where it is felt that the behaviour was so poor or its impact was seen that it was necessary to exclude you from joining the BBRP server for a period of time. It may also have been a result of a vote kick where you were removed by your peers. For exclusions less than 30 days there is no appeal available. Q: How do I report another player in game? A: You can report another player using /report giving a detail description of the problem and the ids of the people involved. You can do /ids to temporarily see ids of people around you. Q: How do I report another player out of city (retrospectively)? A: You can submit an a General Support ticket with evidence of the claims. Please include 10 minutes of footage either side where possible or we may not be able to take action in fairness to everyone. Graphics Q: The world is disappearing help? A: You may need to adjust your graphics settings its not recommended to run your world on high textures unless you have a powerful graphics card with plenty of video memory and a powerful CPU. You can find some more guidance here. Audio Q: It sounds like I can hear everyone in the world? A: Some headsets have multiple modes which influence the way mumble voip works (FiveM's voice chat), usually there will be modes like Voice Mode, Game Mode etc... You will need to ensure you have the software installed for your particular headset and ensure Game Mode is selected. Q: I can't hear anyone in game even though I'm all setup A: You can experience issues in a couple of places 1)Windows ensure you have setup surround sound correct and you can hear through all your speakers in the windows audio tests, if there are problems here, they will flow through into game. 2) Ensure you have the right inputs and outputs selected in game audio and in the voice chat settings, you may need to relog when you change them. Also ensure the volumes are turned up. Cars Q: I purchased a car and its lost I cannot find it - help! A: While it occasionally happens it is very rare for a car to disappear. There are 5 garage zones where you can only see cars from within the zone you're in. The City, Blane County, Island, Grapseed Purple P, Arena. If a car comes out with a plate in the format of AAA 000 it is almost certain you will have your vehicle. If it comes out in a local format A8A1AB8Z you may not. If you raise a ticket you will be asked to pay a $100,000 fee if developers are able to find your car in a garage (this is an investigation fee). Q: Stuff is missing out of the back of my car why is it? A: Your things can be stolen from your boot when your car is unlocked, people abandon their cars when they break down and leave them in the world, go get their car from insurance and drive around, whenever your car is unlocked, any other vehicles that share the same plate will also be unlocked. Q: How can I do player to player car transfers? A: Currently that is not possible to do in BlueBird. You must make use of the second hand care dealerships. Q: When are the monthly cars released? A: Anywhere from 1st through 10th of the following month, cars are released, not all cars are equal there can be issues with them or other issues which divert the attention of the devs. If you complain about cars not being released in this time, you may find yourself muted in the discord. Q: I can’t get my car out of impound? A: You need the correct money on you, the impound date/time must be up. All times and dates are GMT + 10 Melbourne Australia. Q: My cars disappeared from in front of me? A: BlueBird runs a clean world script which will remove objects and vehicles where it hasn't been interacted with over a period of time. The time periods are reasonably large and BlueBird doesn't issue refunds for insurance costs or inventory costs for vehicles not interacted resulting in its wiping. Police Q: Cops suck, the role play is shit and I've just lost all my stuff. A: By doing the wrong thing you're actively making a choice to role play with Police. It would be failrp for them to not act as Police and attempt to enforce the law. When you do criminal roleplay or commit a crime in the city you've opened yourself up for Police to roleplay with you Q: How do I apply to join the Police? A: You can apply online, applications are only visible for the police when actively recruiting. Q: What if I combat log on a police? A: Combat logging on police almost always results in a ban, people do it because they want to keep their weapon or their car and avoid the consequences of roleplay, you just end up losing more. Instagram Q: How can I post photos to Instagram? A: You use your mobile phone in city and activate the camera option. You take a photo pressing the space bar and enter a caption when prompted. Q: How do I make it face me? A: Using your up arrow on your keyboard once you active the camera. Elusive Bugs Q: Phone is stuck on my screen in yellow pages help? A: /fixphone Q: Camera/Photo was trying to take a photo and it got stuck. A: There is no fix yet for this, you may need to relog, apologies Q: Camera/Image Attachment How do I use these? A: This only works using the mouse mode option and not the keyboard navigation option in your phone Q: Other things are stuck on my screen please help A: You can try using the following commands with escape on your keyboard they may or may not help From F8 type any of the following commands and press escape you may need to try them multiple times. dsciv : if licence is stuck closeinventory : if inventory is stuck closephone : if phone is stuck fixphone : if phone is stuck oc : if cad is stuck help : general if stuck

BlueBirdRP How to activate your donator subscriptions First off, a heart felt thank you, what we do wouldn't be possible without the donator subscriptions that we have at BlueBirdRP. The good news is.. in your managed purchases page, if your subscription shows Active and and you have linked as per below, you can take immediate advantage of your benefits, Please see the below guide to ensure everything gets up and links correctly together: Discord Must be linked in the following places, see below for help. Where there is a break in this linkage, your benefits break as well. Forums FiveM City (Server) Steps to ensure Discord is linked: Ensure you login to the forums with the correct discord you use on your discord 'thick app' client (desktop app). Important: You may need to logout of the forums and then login with your discord account. Ensure you have the roles and tags in discord Force Sync your account here Important: If you're unable to get the discord roles after multiple attempts, you need to raise a BlueBird Sales Support Ticket here to have customer service conduct a force synchronisation. Ensure FiveM can see your discord identifiers through the settings menu (before joining a server), alternatively use /discord in the city chat window to confirm this. FAQ / TROUBLESHOOTING Q: Are you in the queue currently? Its recommended that you leave while you perform the linkage steps, alternatively you should be able to click 'Refresh Discord' and assuming your Discord/FiveM linkage was already in place and you have your discord roles, you should be appropriately upgraded. Q: Are you in game currently? You may need to leave to get your full perks, but also doing /discordforceupdate to get most of them while already in! Q:Why do you recommend people leave the queue? It allows your queue place to timeout, you're placement/ranking is only re-evaluated when you connect into the queue, never while you're sitting in it. This same advice goes for when upgrading your membership. Leave queue for 2-3 minutes and rejoin after you have your discord roles. Q:Do you have discord or FiveM running as administrator? For all this to work normally make sure they are not running with administrator permissions! Q: I'm logging with with discord but it wont update my tags? Did it just create you a 2nd forums account? Your email addresses in discord and your forums account must be the same or they WILL NOT LINK. If you have created a second account, set a password/reset it on the forums so that it will then let you unlink your discord from it, fix up your email addresses and then relink it again. If you have any issues see Centrelink Support or Raise a ticket with BlueBird Sales Support here.

BlueBirdRP Restricted Mode What is it? Q: What is Restricted Mode? ANSWER: Restricted Mode is one of our tools that our admin team have to manage our player base but we understand it can cause inconvenience as it restricts access to the city the city based on various metrics depending on what the admins enable. Why do you have it? As you can appreciate being a public server we welcome people from all walks of life and all places around the globe. The challenge is not everyone is able to behave or act in a reasonable way. When do you use it? When we have events or VIP's in our city our team need more of a playerbase that won't impact the generally smooth running flow of roleplay with misbehaviour (such as random death matches, stream sniping, vehicle death match etc.. and other instances of failrp that our community doesnt tollerate). This features is one of the reasons that makes BlueBird a great community to be apart of. Our whitelisted players or gold+ supporters are always able to join during this period. There are sometimes exceptions for those who have been in the city for a specific period of time and they are also able to join. What metrics can it use? Community Standing: Time on Server Community Standing: Whitelisted and Supporter or Job role whitelist (eg: Police/Ambulance etc..) Behaviour: Yellow Cards or Bans in the last 30 days How cn I join if I'm blocked? The reality is you can't unless you're whitelisted, have a whitelisted job role or are a Gold+ Subscription Donator ------------------------ Q: Have I been banned?? A: No, this is not a ban message, you can't enter the city though as an admin has placed a restriction on community standing, participation or behaviour and you don't currently qualify for entry, but this mode is usally only temporary (eg: for a few hours).

If you have submitted a bug report, and are requested to submit a CitizenFX.log file, this guide will help you to find and submit the log.

We recommend that you run most of your textures on normal. Here's a sample of what I have which gives really good visuals while allowing you to last in the OneSync servers for ME. Your mileage may vary and you may need to do lower depending on your system. See the below image attachment Important Points: Texture Quality: Normal (NOT HIGH or greater for less powerful systems) Shader Quality: High (if you can for brighter and more flashier lights) Post FX: High (if you can for brighter and more flashier lights) Texture Budget: Turn this all the way up while keep the Video Memory green bar in the green where possible.

The change log will only log significant changes, minor changes get made daily. Changes may be suppressed to reduce meta gaming at our discretion.

BlueBirdRP Community Guidelines 1) Respect the community: Do not harass, bully or intimidate anyone else on the server in or out of RP. You are here to have fun, if you can not have fun without ruining someone else’s fun you do not belong here. This includes harassing someone after they have been downed/incapacitated or abusing someone if you’re frustrated about a situation. If a member of the Community Assistance Team notify you that you have broken a rule, accept it and move on. Arguing on the spot will only see your punishment increased. Once you have had some time to think about it you can submit an appeal on the forums. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Respect the Staff Team: If a Moderator or Admin gives you a direction please follow it. If you have questions or concerns about the direction please bring these up via the forums after the event. Directions from the staff team are not negotiable on the spot. Arguing with a decision or direction on the spot may see your punishment increased if applicable. Impersonating a member of staff is against the server rules and will see you punished (duh?). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Your personal information is your personal information. If you choose to give out your contact details, photos or other real life information this is not BBRPs concern or responsibility. We would suggest you think long and hard before you give out any of the above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Exploiting: Any attempt to use a server resource in a manner not clearly intended by the development team can result in an immediate permanent ban with no warning. If you find a bug or glitch please report it to the staff team via the tickets on the forums to avoid misunderstandings resulting in your account being banned. Rewards are also offered for those who bring this information to the dev team. Common exploits include: Duplication glitches, bunny hopping, incorrect usage of /IDS and Fixmepls and Damage bugs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) Community Etiquette: Do not advertise your own gaming communities, servers or other similar things without first seeking permission from an Admin. Always feel free to ask, the worst that will happen is you get told no. If you have a role that shows up on the discord sidebar above regular members please note we may temporarily remove your discord role if your active status shows another server or group. It will be returned to you afterwards (you can also disable this discord feature entirely via the discord settings) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) Age Restrictions: No character can be under the age of 18 without Admin permission. The server also has an age restriction of 14+ players younger than this may be removed from the server by staff. Acting like a child or being immature beyond reason will also see you talked to, or your access to the city removed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7) Reporting Misconduct: If you believe a player has broken a rule there are only two correct ways to report this. First, you can use /ids to collect the player’s id in game followed by a /report {their ID} {Details of misconduct}. Your report should include details, reports that state “ADMIN TO ME” or “MY CAR BROKE” will be ignored. Reports are only for reporting misconduct. Misusing this system may see you punished. The other method to make a report is via the forums using a general support ticket. Failure to use either of these systems, such as by dming staff directly will be considered a rule breach and may see you punished -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 ) Reporting Staff Misconduct: Staff are not exempt from the rules, if you believe a staff member has misused their privileges, made a mistake or otherwise not lived up to the role of a BBRP staff member. There is only one correct method to report this kind of conduct. That is to make an Admin Team ticket on the forums. DMing staff, arguing with the staff member involved or trying to spread rumours/cause unrest towards that staff member will be considered a breach of the rules. The only exception to this is that if your complaint is in regards to an Admin or the Lead Developer you should send these directly to Scar. Please make sure you are 100% sure that the person you are reporting is an admin BEFORE you contact scar. If they don’t have the admin tag, they are not an admin and you have broken this rule. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9) Mature Themes: There is to be no sexual harrasment, rape roleplay or any kind of Suicide RP on the server. Most of you are adults or young adults, if another player tells you that something is making them uncomfortable or to stop because your comments are unwanted you have two choices. If you are being overly sexual you will likely be spoken to or removed from situations or the city very quickly. Erotic roleplay will not be tolerated. Stop being inappropriate and keep playing here or find another server. Staff will be the final deciding factor on if a reasonable person would have known their comments were inappropriate or not. If you disagree with their decision please see Rule 2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10) New Life Rule: If you are downed in a roleplay (reduced to 0 health) and a paramedic does not arrive on scene within 20 minutes to revive you. Then you have forgotten all the events leading up to your death. (please note that it MUST be a ambulance service paramedic that treats you. Your friend driving you to hospital does not count, you also can not tell someone the details of you murder whilst in the unconscious state) This sometimes may include information about orgs, who was at a robbery and other such details. You can therefore not seek any kind of revenge for this and must pretend you do not know your killer moving forwards until you are reintroduced. This means no contacting the cops, or trying to hunt down the person. Body-camera can not be used as an excuse to seek revenge. If your excuse for seeking revenge is your friends told you then you need to be prepared to tell staff their names. If there is no evidence that your friends were present and able to pass on this information then they will also be sharing in your punishment. In short, don’t lie to staff and if you get killed don’t bother with revenge, go do something else for a bit. If someone is down you are not permitted to rob, kidnap or take any other hostile action towards them. This includes taking them to hospital or waiting around the hospital for the purposes of immediately engaging them again in a theft/interrogation etc. If a person has been killed that is the end of the roleplay so if you plan to get any information or value from the interaction then you must avoid killing them. Please note this does not prevent you being a good Samaritan and taking someone directly to hospital so they do not need to wait out their timer. It just means you can't immediately kidnap, rob or otherwise act in a hostile manner to them. Nor does it prevent police from taking injured/downed suspect's to the hospital prior to charging. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11) Driving: Driving must be kept realistic, If you take vehicles inside buildings, launch them off hills/ramps etc, roll them, drive them at high speed into the water or drive them onto train tracks expect a card from staff. (Being a daredevil is not accepted as an excuse here) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12) Breaking Character: Unless you are talking to staff and staff have made it clear the situation is out of character you are not permitted to talk out of character in the city. If a staff member hears this, regardless of context they can punish you under this rule. OOC usage should also be kept for absolute emergencies. General questions or other such comments in OOC may see your comment deleted, repeated usage of OOC will see you punished. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13) Metagaming: It is against server rules to metagame, if staff catch you metagaming you will be punished much more harshly than most other rulebreaks regardless of your history so it is not really worth it. Metagaming is the usage of any information your character has not found out in roleplay in the city. This could include watching a stream, using discord communications instead of the incity radios or phones. Being told something from another player without hearing it from their character. One key thing to note is that if you have multiple characters your characters can NEVER share information with each other at all. This includes using a third person to “send” the information around. Staff will tolerate no excuses on this one. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14) Boot Checking and Roleplay-Free or Chain Robbing: If you cannot be bothered to put roleplay behind your hostile actions we would like you to find another server. This includes taking items out of someone’s boot just because it is there, robbing someone without a prior RP reason or chain robbing (this means that you are constantly going out and finding people to rob). If you are caught doing any of these things, you will be spoken to by staff. No scamming of other players will be acceptable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15) Powergaming: Powergaming is when you use unrealistic forms of roleplay, or refuse to roleplay in order to give yourself an advantage. For example, if there is a room or vehicle wall between you and someone else talking, even though yes you as a player, hear it. Your character would not so you must ignore that information. Similar powergaming violations include third person cameras to see things your “eyes” could not see, forcing other people to commit power gaming offences themselves such as through the use of their menus etc. If you close the game or force a disconnection in order to avoid losing something or avoid a roleplay scenario (like an AV scene or being arrested) you will be spoken to and your item removed. Hostage taking: Police will not provide any kind of financial or other monetary advantage in exchange for hostages' lives (this includes supply of weapons). Hostages can however be exchanged for other leverage from the police. Think of things along the lines of preventing the police from entering a building, getting them to provide reasonable amounts of food and water for you and the hostages or for a getaway vehicle (be creative ). If you break this part of the rule police on scene will refuse to provide you the money/weapons etc. If you insist or execute a hostage over this, that will be the point where staff step in. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16) Fear RP/Valuing your Life: You need to give value to your character's life, while you may want your character to be fearless in all situations BBRP does not permit this kind of roleplay on the server. Valuing your life is where you take similar caution in game to preserve your life like you would in real life (things like checking left and right before crossing a road). On the server this includes doing things like surrendering if a gun is drawn on you and you have no weapon drawn. Not ramming your car into walls, not jumping off cliffs (claiming you are a daredevil is not an acceptable excuse) avoiding shootouts (don't run up to them or get in the way), unlocking your car if you have not been incapacitated. There may be exemptions to this granted by staff to specific organisations which are allowed to flee instead of allowing themselves (or their equipment) to be captured depending on the situation. This will be clearly communicated by staff if it is the case. Please ask staff before you assume you have an exemption as that will not be accepted as an excuse. Impersonating Staff Storyline characters will also not be tolerated (Examples: Smiths Sisters and Irish) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17) Organisations: All crews and organizations have to be approved by the staff team. If you want to join one of the preapproved orgs, please contact them within roleplay. Use /faq crews in the main discord to join the crew discord if you want to join or make a crew. If you are not in a crew, you are only able to roleplay with hostility with four players. If you are in a crew, you are unable to do hostile RP with more than seven (if they are in your crew). If you are doing hostile RP with people outside of your crew, it is again limited to four. If you are in an organization, please refer to the org handbook for further information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18) No mic, no play: … I don't think I need to explain this one. However the only exception is that if you have a reasonable excuse as to why you can not use a microphone please create a general support ticket on the forums detailing why this is the case and an exemption may be made for you. (this can include if you are unable to physically talk). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19) No Discrimination: Our community is built on respect and inclusiveness for people from all walks of life. Do not make any discriminatory remarks on someone's race, gender, gender identity, sexual preference, health issues or disability. Just because we missed a category of discriminiation here does not mean you can not or will not be punished for it in game. Staff will have the final word on if a reasonable person should have known their actions were inappropriate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20) Roleplaying Injuries: If you get shot, are involved in a crash, fall from a high place or do one of the million and a half things that could get yourself hurt you are required to roleplay these out in a fair and reasonable manner. When driving a car the roleplay of inury can start from if your character goes into the ragdoll/downed state. When AV/CFA arrives you can not simply state “I need a revive” go the extra yard. (Bonus: People who are creative and follow this rule are usually fast tracked into getting approval to be whitelisted). You can not “respawn” mid RP either, if you are downed and your respawn timer ends but there is still a roleplay where you currently are then you need to remain on the scene until revived by an ambulance officer, taken to hospital by someone else or the scene clears of its own accord. Coming out of a major accident and your character is ragdolled/downed with only a bruise or scratch will see you punished. The staff team has the final say on what was or was not a reasonable injury so please make sure you are considering this carefully. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21) Safezones: There are areas on the map designated as safe zones (you can not use weapons or attack in them). If you try and shoot into a safe zone to exploit this it will be considered a rule violation. So will trying to use a safe zone to harass others by running back into it to avoid the repercussions of your actions. Please exercise commonsense with these, failure to do so will see you punished by staff. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22) Emergency Staff Numbers: If the cop availability is showing as "Very Low" then you must avoid shootouts and major fights. (small scale fights between two to four people are usually still okay). You are not permitted to attempt robberies or hostage takings of other players when the police availability is showing as "Very Low" If you want more police on, the application is on the forums please encourage people to sign up. Major accidents, search and rescue operations and fires should wait until there are 4 CFA or Ambulance Victoria units on duty before proceeding we would suggest you plan these major events with those services prior to starting them. You can view current emergency service numbers using Alt-Z. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23) Vehicle Carrying Capacity: You can not /carry someone if you are the driver of a vehicle, all your hands must be on the wheel to drive No Exemptions. You can not use /carry while on a motorcycle of any kind regardless of what seat you are in. In all cases you can have as many people in a vehicle as there are usable seats +1 person being carried. You can ALSO have 1 additional person in the boot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24) Random Death Match: It is against server rules to attack another player randomly without engaging in some form of verbal RP first. Killing someone should be your final option, try kidnapping, threats or other such RPs first. Be creative. If staff believe that you have not attempted all other forms of RP prior to attempting to kill a player then you will be punished under the RDM rule. If you kill someone after robbing them while they are complying, or cuffed this will be considered RDM. Posting any kind of a kill montage in the BBRP discord will be considered a violation of the RDM rule. Posting it elsewhere may still impact your chances of the recruitment team giving you whitelisting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 25) Vehicle Death Match: The use of your vehicle as a weapon is prohibited on the server. This includes ramming people off bikes or repeatedly ramming other cars. Be creative with your roleplays. If someone is shooting at you then use your vehicle to flee the scene not attack with it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 26) Appropriate Vehicles: There is to be no use of helicopters, planes or other aerial vehicles unless you are doing so as part of your emergency service duties (HEMS, POLAIR or Firehawk), work for Melbourne Adventures, or have a private license from Melbourne Adventures. If you need an aerial vehicle for a roleplay please contact an admin (not a mod, CAT or dev) and wait for confirmation. If there is any doubt of you having permissions, DO NOT use an aerial vehicle. This rule also applies to tanks, APC or other “special” vehicles that you would not normally be able to drive/pilot as a regular citizen in Victoria. Drag and Sprint Vehicles are not to be driven on the roads and can only be used on dedicated race tracks or during preplanned and staff approved events. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimers: These rules are subject to change overtime. Please be sure to review the rules regularly in the event of additions or changes. Streaming Terms of Service: BBRP can not be held responsible for you complying with any TOS of any streaming or hosting service you use. Replacement of items lost: BBRP will not replace any items lost in game due to theft, server restarts or other issues. There is a new player FAQ on the forums that gives you some good tips on how to prevent the loss of your items. You will also find some helpful keybinds for this in your F3 menu in game under keybinds. Admin means admin: Anywhere above where it says you need admin approval means you need admin approval. Not Moderator, Dev or Cat team members. Please ensure you are going to the right team or any approval you may gain may not be valid. Outside Discords, Forums, etc: Any BBRP related forums, discords or other similar system needs to have a BBRP staff team member in it with access to all channels. This typically includes org discords or discords where the reason they were created relates to BBRP as a whole. This is to ensure that server rules are be followed in any associated systems. Vigilantism: BBRP has a staff team, any attempts to "police" the server yourself, create drama, call people out for rulebreaks via the discord, ooc etc. Will see you punished under rules 1, 2 and 7. As stated in rule 7 there are only two ways to report misconduct. Drama directors are not wanted on BBRP, this is a gaming community not a school yard. Come to play the game, share ideas and then leave the politics, drama, name calling etc at the door. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for reading the rules!
