Believe it or not that actually would be better.
It'll prevent freeloaders from joining.
Attract people with zero knowledge of the game.
And provide financial support to LO.

i seriously doubt that orbit would ever actually try to claim copyright in that situation but it is covered in the ToS
Understood.

4 hours ago, Mitne said:I just can't get one thing. Why if you want to put your symbols, themes etc. for external use you get into APB to design them?
There a lot of programs which basically work like APB with way more extended functionality, in APB even with symbols you got to compromise.
You want to create symbols based on shapes? CorelDraw or any graphical program basing on vector graphics (yes, this are shaped based graphics)
You want to create themes or songs? Synthesia or similiar programs got similiar way to produce sounds like in APB, you would need to look for program in which you can put MIDI samples tho. Eventually you can switch for real thing with different functionality but way more functionality like FruitLoops and likes.
I just lacked the knowledge of this softwares and thought APB already has it's own editors.

Put copyright on my work that doesn't seem correct.

Would be useful graphic designers and maybe music designers as the game already have a well developed customisation options thus freeing up some space on my Pc.

16 hours ago, neophobia said:there are no simple export options
only the aforementioned manual conversions
if you want a similar experience to the apb symbol editor, try inkscape (free) or adobe illustrator (paid)
ninjaripper for models is slightly risky, since it reads the games memory - much like what cheats do. anticheats did block it in the past and do block it at least in some games - not sure what the current situation with apb. just be warned - however, those bans might also be reverted if it hits a lot of people. not sure what their stance is precisely, but it is a 3rd party tool that reads memory, so it might very well be prohibited/only use at own risk.
Thanks, I think I'll use inkscape.

Please add more details.

No, just save it on my PC.

Can we save our in-game creations from the music studio and the designer to our PCs?

in theory APB is an awesome game. one of the best games i have ever played. but the problem is that the devs/publisher dont care.
a few years ago i left the games for two reasons :
i) i am a silver player and there was no place for me in the game. even when i joined bronze district i got constantly steamrolled by premade goldgroups which
was very frustrating.
ii) the community is too toxic - its not fun to play a game where you get insulted the whole time and the devs/suppurt/gm do nohing about it (after you filled out a report)
---------------------
when i came back the game was fun at first but then i realized that nothing has changed.
i) i got steamrolled by goldteams in bronze district all the time
ii) the community is so aggressiv and toxic that i disabled my chat after 60 minutes of playtime
i saw so many new players in the last weeks (europa) and i would guess that 75% of them allready left the game. they got steamrolled, kicked from missions, insulted, griefed and teamkilled by angry team members.
Awesome more of a reason to comeback .

That was an interesting survey, good job.

Yes, you're the guy I want to ask this.
what changed haven't played since 2016, what's new?

In Buddhism, the swastika is considered to symbolize the auspicious footprints of the Buddha. It is an aniconic symbol for the Buddha in many parts of Asia and homologous with the dharma wheel. The shape symbolizes eternal cycling, a theme found in samsara doctrine of Buddhism.

As for the flag.
It's actually the Muslim shahada which is the key to convert to Islam, and what we muslims say at the end of our prayer.
Isis just used it to say:
Hey we Muslims kill and burn people for no reason.
Bro don't be quick to judge people.

Yeah, don't worry about what they say.
I remember players who are really good play as green to just mock everyone, just play the game.

6 hours ago, hackerung said:there's literally pre-made teams of dethreatters doing it at the same time.
This problem I had to deal with many times and the fact that they brag about there skills in a bronze district is really disgusting
6 hours ago, hackerung said:temporarely banning these golds in bronze would get them to stop. A week or two. If not, then it could just scare them enough that they don't try as hard on bronze anymore.
If not, and if it's a repeat offense, then yes, permanently ban them.
The whole strike is a great idea yes but that takes a lot of time that could cause some serious damage to the population of the game
So our safest bet is locking players outside the district and as I said dethreating becoming so hard to near impossible would be a nice added feature
6 hours ago, hackerung said:Better to lose a gold player, than to lose several bronzes who could one day get to gold themselves.
I 100% agree with you on that one can't tell you how long it took me to actually get convinced that the game is not full of hackers but just a great bunch of dethreaters I used to log off the game and search for some hack tool because of this
Luckily I met a lot of nice players who helped me get better at the game
But that's me can't say that all new players would find someone to help them sadly

I was thinking about something bigger how about combining both districts as one big map this way it won't feel as empty and would make it a lot more interesting for players to see how fast they can adapt to the changing surrounding environment
-
In my opinion it'll be even more just if that was to apply to ALL threat levels
Once you hit a new threat it'll be nice to see the game kick you out of your current server and locking them up for you to not enter them again
But as everyone knows you are as strong as your most difficult challenge so it allows you to go to any higher threat level district you want
This way newbies don't complain as they chose to be where ever they are and more experienced player don't hate on newbies because they won't be teaming with any
But there would be two problems with this
1-purposefully dethreating
In my opinion on that I'd like it to be as hard as sprinting with an Osmaw and bannable (giving your team mates and opposition the option to report you for purposefully dethreating as no one likes purposefully dethreating)
2-the new threats people who just got their new threat level might not be as good as the rest of their team
So also my take on this just like the last make dethreating is as hard as sprinting with an Osamaw or at least a N-HVR this way they get to experience the new threat level to the fullest

I like the whole idea of the thread and it does make sense
Ex. I mean I remember getting hit with the HVR for the first time after the screen tint got clear I thought I was good to go turns out am still not around 100% health and it was annoying to say the least and I had to learn that the hard way obviously
Even for an experienced player I remember using the HVR on someone I tagged him once and waited because he was in cover after the screen tint diminished he poped up again only to get shot and killed instantly
Note we were threat level silver by that time
15 hours ago, MartinPL said:though at the same time, "difficulty levels" of districts are an interesting idea. How about a "Realism" or "Hardcore" District/Ruleset where almost the entire HUD is disabled, leaving only red names above players, mission info and objective markers (and maybe the radar too) on the screen?
Of course that would mean things like removing the bounty system or giving everyone never-changing bounty levels with the same rewards, but the idea is still an interesting one. To me, at least.
This part here is actually a great idea my only objection would be the radar experienced players especially gold would find it more entertaining to use their hearing instead of the radar
And yes I know about the car mod that allows you to follow enemies yet it'll be more fun
The bounty system I'd like it to stay but the prestige/notoriety meter would be still variable this way players won't know /notice when they are about to get a bounty
15 hours ago, Dasimoge said:guess this is a thing, which almost everyone wants.
It is a annoying/stuiped system. (Not for everyone maybe, but definitly for me )
I don't think it's annoying maybe needs work a bit like maybe won't be as easy as killing lots of enemies

Yes, that's why it needs funding.
And APB does have a dedicated fanbase.
