Howdy All, We are excited to announce a refreshed program of recognising and supporting content creators (Twitch Streamers) within the OzzyGaming community. We know that people love watching their favourite online creators just as much as actually playing the games themselves, which is why it is important we support those who strive to entertain others. This program offers content creators exposure and recognition within the community as well as potential access to perks that will improve the experience of their viewers. We will now support 2 levels of content creators; Community Content Creators & Verified Content Creators which I will explain below. Community Content Creator status can be granted to any member of the community who streams or uploads videos from OzzyGaming hosted servers. These creators are generally not able to access any significant perks in-game and this role is simply a way to advertise the fact that you are a streamer so people can check out your content. This role can also be granted to any other significant streamer who cannot accept our additional verified requirements. You will have an identifiable role in TeamSpeak + Discord and be able to post in the “#live_streaming” discord, as well as access to a private content creator discord channel. Requirements to apply: - While streaming append “[LIVE]” to your name in TeamSpeak (if online) - Not bring OzzyGaming into disrepute or talk of the community in a negative light, except where it is constructive feedback or criticism - Stream/Upload OzzyGaming content on a regular basis - Avoid advertising other FiveM servers while engaging in the OzzyGaming Community - Have 1 month experience on the server including multiple streams or videos on the server prior to applying - Avoid streaming any dealings with staff such as in helpdesk - Maintain good standing in the community and be held to a high standard of following server rules, with no recent warnings or bans on your account Verified Content Creator status is reserved for streamers or youtubers with significant channels. As a rough benchmark this would be consistently having above an average of 10 viewers on stream or 100 views per video upload. To be verified, creators must agree to an additional set of OzzyGaming terms in return for access to perks and benefits to assist them in their streams. You will also have access to the "Live on Twitch Now" role in discord which will place you at the top of the memberlist for people to see. Additional Requirements for Verified Content Creators: - Must use either “OzzyGaming” in the stream title or use one of the provided logos as an overlay on stream - Reinvest any perks back into roleplay/entertainment purposes - Make OzzyGaming your exclusive server for FiveM content The Perks verified content creators receive are to be negotiated with server management and are issued on an individual case by case basis, you are not guaranteed any specific perks. OzzyGaming management have full discretion over perks and they may be stopped or withdrawn at any time for any reason. Types of possible perks include: - Access to streamer priority in queue - FiveM cash to reduce grind time in front of audience - Free or discounted subscriptions for yourselves or giveaways on stream - Development/Organisation of events - Access to vehicles - Other perks as discussed individually Applications are now open here and will be reviewed by a member of management as soon as possible. We kindly ask any current content creators to re-apply to confirm acceptance of the updated terms. As community manager, I will be the main contact for content creators (@Zaydan) so please send me a DM here on the website or via discord (proffered) if you have any further questions. We look forward to seeing your streams! - Zaydan OzzyGaming Community Manager/Executive Additional T&Cs OzzyGaming does not enter into any formal agreements with content creators nor enter into any official partnerships. This program is aimed at being mutually beneficial exposure for the community as a whole and the individual content creators. Creators are under no obligation to compliment OzzyGaming or advertise any donation/subscription packages and are advised to provide their audience with a factual, unbiased commentary of the server. By applying to be a verified or community content creator, you agree to our conditions as stated above. OzzyGaming Management have full discretion over adding or removing members from the content creator role for any reason at any time. Any discussions regarding content creator perks are to be kept confidential.

Welcome to the long version of the 2.4 update change-log. Before I dive into the changes, I'd like to thank @Delexicalfor his contribution to our project. He may not have been with us for too long. However, he still devoted a reasonable amount of time to the development of our FiveM server. With that being said, I would just like to re-iterate that all of our game developers, may they be scripters, map developers, or vehicle developers are volunteers. They are not paid for their contribution to our community due to FiveM community restrictions, so please send some praise their way if you enjoy their work, it definitely boosts motivation. Numerous optimisations for all scripts Major updates have been made to how many scripts operate to reduce the load on the server and the client. This may not be very apparent due to strange GTA 5 bottle-necking during normal play, but should result in a smoother gaming experience and much fewer frame drops or hiccups. It will also be more obvious in situations where your client is under a lot of extra load. Numerous map objects have been replaced (see list further down) to remove the less optimised current objects, this should reduce the texture loss issues around certain locations too. Player Action Menu Update (Tilde menu) The player action menu has received a functional and cosmetic update. In future updates, we plan on moving all job functions that were previously available in the list menus to this menu, this should hopefully make things more user friendly. For this update, Police, EMS, and Mechanics have had their list menu functions largely ported over. We have also added functions that have been requested many times. This should hopefully aid in managing prisoners and people who are incapacitated. We have also added two ways of opening the menu, first, simply pressing the tilde key will open the root menu. Secondly, if you hold the tilde key for one second, it will skip the root menu and open the job actions (for more user friendly access). Below is a list of what has been added (please note that these actions will be in their respective categories in the menu itself): Force player into a vehicle (if restrained) Force player out of a vehicle (if restrained) Force player into the boot (if restrained) Force player out of the boot (if restrained) Drag player (if restrained) Unflip vehicle Check ID (Police/EMS only) Search a player (Police only) Ticket a player (Police only) Manage a players licenses (Police only) Open the corrections menu (Police only) Impound vehicle (Police and Mechanics only) Seize vehicle (Police only) Open medical records (EMS only) Clean Vehicle (Mechanic only) Send a bill (Mechanic only). New Emergency Light System The current emergency light system is being replaced. We are now going to be utilising a simpler and more optimised version of emergency lights as GTA 5 intended them to be used. As it currently stands, having more than three emergency services vehicles in one area causes massive frame loss, hence why we have decided to make the change. With this update, we have had to find replacement vehicles for our fleet. Some models will remain the same. However, other models had to be removed due to their incompatibility with our new system. Rest assured a lot of the classics remain, and a few fun new vehicles have been added. Each department will release updated vehicle documentation concerning the details of the new fleet. Police CAD Updates The Police CAD has received a moderate update to how it operates. As we've been creating, modifying, and fixing related CAD/Police functions, we have decided to move a lot of content over to the CAD itself. Below is a shortlist of new and ported features: Priority cooldown has been entirely redone and is now controlled with various buttons Backup codes are now exclusively controlled with various buttons High priority backup codes will now automatically be added as a call, subsequent updates to location should utilise the "Update location" button instead of a new call for backup (to avoid duplicates) A simple wanted list had been added as a new CAD page. When looking up a civilian, you may add them to the wanted list. If a player is wanted, and their ID is searched by an officer, they will be prompted with noticeable red text on their profile that they are wanted. Officers can view everybody on the wanted list in the new wanted list tab Officers can now add and remove criminal records remotely When looking up a vehicle number plate, officers will be prompted if that particular vehicle has been reported stolen (more on this in the vehicle update section) A new notification system has been added for the CAD to utilise, this should be clean and easy to see. Further Police Updates We have also ported the functionality of some menu action to items. Below is a list of actions that are now handled with items. In some instances, this can be handy as the hot bar will offer a hotkey for actions that otherwise had to be navigated to via the tilde menu. Handcuffs Lockpick Body armour (Wasn't previously in a menu. However, I'll pop this in here anyway). Departments actions are now available depending on your respective department levels, these values are now stored in our database. Department commanders, police cabinet, and staff members have permission to set these in-game with the following command: /setpd [playerid] [department] [department grade]. For example /setpd 244 hwp 4. The ALPR has also been updated. We're now using a modified version of the Wraith ARS. This system is pretty awesome, and has extensive player documentation as to how to operate the functions. Press f5 in-game to open it, the documentation can be found in the interface. EMS Updates EMS have had rather minor updates. With the migration of list menu actions to the tilde menu, we have also made certain items usable rather than having to navigate the menu at all. Below is a list of new usable items (all of these items are used on a target, not the source player): Medkit Bandage Painkillers Splint Medical Restraints. Mechanic Updates Similarly to the Police and EMS updates, In addition to the menu items migrated to the tilde menu, Mechanics now have a few items available in their shops that they can acquire through an item dispenser. If you are a mechanic, you cannot miss this in your respective shop as it is marked with a circle. These items are non-consumable and can be used in, and outside of a vehicle. I would recommend using them inside of the vehicle as Onesync is quite unreliable when manipulating a vehicle from the outside. The following items can be found in the item dispensary: Lockpick Repair kit Gasoline canister. Vehicle Garage Updates We have re-created the vehicle garage system. This was done largely due to the limitations of the previous menu itself and the amount of vehicles that are constantly left out. The changes are as follow: New custom built UI UI type will change depending on the garage location No limits on how many vehicles you can have in your garage When taking a vehicle out of your garage, it will be marked as "active in the world". The vehicle won't be retrievable unless it is returned to the garage If your vehicle is stolen, you can go back to the garage and report it stolen. If a police officer or mechanic impound it, this will return it to the garage If your vehicle has been reported stolen, and an officer looks the plate up on the Police CAD, it will notify them that the vehicle is stolen If the police impound a vehicle that has not been reported stolen, that vehicle will go to the impound Active and stolen vehicles will return to your garage when the server restarts. Impound cost has been increased to $2,000 Repair at garage has been increased to $1,500 Further Vehicle Updates In an attempt to keep the map clear burnt vehicle carcasses and such, all undriveable vehicles will be deleted automatically. This usually means water damaged vehicles and burnt vehicles. This is largely a test to see how well the script does in tracking and handling these vehicles, so it remains to be seen whether or not this change will stay. We have also added some cool new particle effects to the car wash. New Y Menu We have added a new Y menu. This menu deals with clothing, assessors, and hair. There isn't a whole lot to explain here, but I can tell you that is is pretty awesome. If you have a certain type of long hair, this script allows you to tie up your hair, or let it loose. You can also take any piece of clothing off and put it back on at your leisure (it isn't buggy like the current system as it detects what clothing you have on when you toggle an item rather than going off your database clothing values). There is much to explore here, but I'll let you guys come across this. Business Updates Due to how incredibly trash the default business management scripts are for normal ESX servers, we've decided to scrap the lot. Or, rather, disable it temporarily. In its place, there will be a few commands to be use whilst our new UI is created for business owners. Development has already begun on this, and if you are lucky, you might be able to catch @Ryan King developing this live on his twitch channel (Check him out here). The following new commands are: /bwithdraw [amount] (withdraw from business account) /bdeposit [amount] (deposit into business account). Previous commands have been released in older versions of our server and are still available for business owners to use. Further, in the realm of business, we're proud to announce the opening of a new mechanic business, Los Santos Customs! This new business will be replacing Outlaw Garage, and will be lead by @soleKEFS, if you're interested in keeping up with this business and just some great roleplay in general, consider checking out his twitch channel! (Check him out here). Organisation Updates Not much to report here that most of you probably already know. However, we've introduced two new organisations, the outcasts, and the brothers. On update, they will have access to their nifty organisation HQ's. We won't tell you where they are, but if you are lucky (or unlucky?) enough to see them, they are pretty cool. Inventory Updates The inventory has received a small functional and cosmetic update. Instead of the ugly box that displays what job you have, it now will display your job neatly underneath your character name in a spot that makes more sense. Additionally, we have decided to add 9 hot bar slots. We also noticed that the hot bar was quite a lot larger than it needed to be, so we've scaled down the size. Those of you with high screen resolutions should still be able to see the hot bar just fine. The style of the UI has slightly changed too. Instead of dragging items into invisible item slots, these slots are now well defined and easy to locate. Also, when using an item it will automatically close the UI. Loading Screen Updates The loading screen has received a bit of a make over. We've added new songs, new screenshots, new quotes, and a new style. We have also re-added our custom steam information (to my knowledge, there isn't a server today that operates with the same functionality #custom). if any of you have any quote suggestions, screen shot submissions, or song requests, please contact @Zaydan. Player Spawn Updates The spawn camera has been replaced. We've added something a little different that I am sure a few of you will appreciate. It can be quite annoying watching the same old sky camera. We've also seemingly fixed the issue with players constantly spawning under that map. We have also added back a modified version of our anti combat logging script. If a player logs out whilst dead, they will spawn in and have their inventory automatically wiped, and a harsher death tax applied. However, they will not be killed, and any prior situations must be treated as if a respawn had occurred. Mapping Updates New Sandy PD New Paleto PD SSA has been reskinned New Sunshine Autos building Reapers clubhouse has been redone New Forgiven MC clubhouse New Henhouse club New Paleto city hall New Sandy city hall New Paleto hardware store Beekers and surrounding areas has been redone New Weasel news building New Vagos safe house New Captain Jacks restaurant New Hookies bar New Church New dodgy clinic LS Customs has been redone New LSIA race track New Paleto/Chilliad forest New Bean Machine New Gym Probably many more... Misc Updates Priority cooldown has been re-made. It will now update players who join after it has been called. It also utilises a new design New health/armour/food/water/stamina hud has been added. This is not placed where the GTA 5 health and armour bars would usually be Compass and street names is now located, with a new style, next to the map Renamed the "trucking manifest" to "GPS" so that it is less confusing Saving/picking clothing outfits now cost less money Renamed Lottery Co. to San Andeas Lottery Fixed the launch trajectory for players who do not have their seat belt on and decide to crash Treasure hunting now gives the correct reset chip Fixed the weapon wheel periodically appearing when pressing tab Fixed the landscaping animation Fixed an exploit with the black market (we will be catching up the the folk who abused this) Fixed the proximity for /showbadge /togglehud now actually hides all HUD elements, for police, it will also hide the CAD notifications Removed /bike. This was for the best, I am sure we all understand this Aligned a whole lot of list menus to the bottom-right hand side of the screen All stores now sell cellphones Cellphone hotkey has been removed, players can still drag a cellphone to a hotkey and use it that way New blip icons have been added, we would like player feedback on these Pressing "P" or "CTRL" whilst in the cellphone message input box will no longer set you in the prone/crouch state Vanilla Unicorn now has a new skin Added a whole lot of new female and male clothing Added a few new female hair styles Temporarily disabled the store robbery script Running and jumping now has a chance to trip you over (LOL) Added new Fleeca bank robberies (this robbery require a couple of items from the black market). P.s. There is more than likely many more changes that I have simply just forgotten about/haven't written down, I am sure you will notice these during your time on the server, if I remember any more, I will add it to the list.

Hey Cogan, Also willing to help out when I'm online if needed (Steam Name: Whitey - Main Character: Paqu Jamal), As long as you're willing to learn then a good Roleplayer will want to help... If you want to be a tiprat, you're on your own. 1. First off I would join the discord located here > Discord.gg/ozzygaming < Great place to ask questions. 2. Next download TS3 > https://teamspeak.com/en/downloads/ < this is because if you need to go to Helpdesk (Either you're in trouble or if someone has broken the rules therefore causing you to lose something) or join a Whitelisted business you'll need it. 3. Take your time creating your character (You can make up to 3 characters). Choose a suitable roleplay name, otherwise you will have to change it. If you don't like something you can always change it later at a Barber and a Clothes Store, but you will be charged. 4. Rules - Read them in the context to know not to break them - Don't read them as a way of finding loopholes 5. Make sure your voice chat has a Hotkey, but also go to the Voice Chat in the Settings menu and fix the settings there as well. Also if you ever have issues with the voice head there and toggle both of the enabled settings off and then on again. 6. Avoid carrying Large amounts of Cash on you, instead leave it in your bank account where it is safe. You access this via an ATM. Most businesses will let you pay via invoices located in your `~ key menu. 7. Go and get a Drivers License (Map Marker 140) and a Job (Map Marker 383, 1022, 3012) - Instruction manuals can be found on this Forum. 8. The most important one - IF IN DOUBT ASK, ASK, ASK! pleading ignorance annoys everybody, asking a question hurts no one. 9. Have a fun time but don't deliberately ruin others. Getting a name for yourself in RP for the wrong reasons (e.g. Rule Breaking) will stick with you for a long time). 10. Hotkeys:

Over the last couple of months there has been a large influx of new players due to both the Epic Games free release and the overall popularity of FiveM as a whole due to GTA Online being absolutely demolished by its player-base. With the influx of these new players who have been given the bare minimum introduction into the island and normally find themselves stuck with Drug running,landscaping or robbing people and with the introduction they get into the island there role-play skills are very toxic with a large percentage not understanding how the rules and roles of role-play function, In turn these turns a massive part of the island into toxic role-play with consistent rule-breakers and role-play that normally forces people into help desk. I feel like Ozzygaming needs to at least test some form of serious role-play or enforce more serious roleplay and give new players an better introduction into how role-play should be conducted. A lot of new players have barely read or not even read the rules. Which in turn sometimes leads to them getting banned and or ruining other peoples role-play experiences. There are several times I have witnessed VDM/RDM/FAILRP on accounts to people who are new to the island and haven't read or understand how Ozzy's role-play is conducted. I turn this causing many hard time players to become fed up with the constant toxic role-play and have to avoid large amount of potential role-play due to majority of the time turning into toxic. Role-play has become repetitive as there is a strong player-base that follows the guidelines of Rob/Kill/Steal/Landscape and repeat leaving Organisation and hard time role-players with no role-play or no organised serious role-play to be had without ending up in a negative light on both sides. It is difficult for so many role-players in the island to find good non toxic role-play in this stage of Ozzy as most of it ends up with one side breaking the rules or it being taken OOC and ending up in help-desk. We have had rules that have tried to resolve these issues but staff are always outnumbered and from my eyes find it difficult to mass enforce these rules. I would like Ozzy to consider enforcing or testing a more serious roleplay enviroment as I, and many other of the Ozzygaming community feel that it would benefit this island massively. I would like to hear everyone's opinions on this. Thanks; Sharpie

Thanks for being part of the community. Good luck with your streams my man! Shitpost as requested.

New punishment process and requirements for staff These take effect today (22/03/20) as of this post being made. It has come to Management’s attention that we have some recurring issues with players on the server. To address this, we are issuing the following instructions to our staff. This is predominately for our FiveM server but applies in principle to all our services. We have seen a small section of the community which have pages of warnings and far too many temporary bans, we do not appreciate people who keep flaunting the system so this is aimed to address this. We would rather have 50 solid players than 100 legion square trolls. - All staff must refer to the bans and warnings of players before a decision on punishment is made - this has always been the case but we will be scrutinising this closely. - All bans will now escalate in duration and they will not be shorter than the longest recent ban. - ‘Recent ban’ and ‘recent warning’ will now apply to all within 3 months. Bans will only be issued with the following durations: 6 hours (Minimum - first ban) 12 hours 1 day 3 days 1 week (Minimum - second ban) 2 weeks 1 month (Minimum - third ban) 3 months Permanent - A maximum of 3 temporary bans will be placed (within 3 months) before the player is considered on ‘final warning’. - Players on final warning will now extend to any player with a recent ban of a month or longer. - Any player who breaches a final warning will receive a permanent ban. - Temporary bans are to be a minimum of double the last recent ban. - All permanent bans appeals must have manager+ approval to reduce to temporary. - Minor breaches will result in a warning, a second warning may be granted in exceptionally minor infractions - instead of a third warning a ban will be issued. - All warnings/bans will be considered universal to an account (i.e. they are no longer rule dependent) - Ban appeals of low quality or effort will now be automatically denied - no further information or questions are required. - Three consecutive failed ban appeals will result in a forum ban (no further appeals) unless specifically instructed otherwise by a manager+. Finally, any variation to the above must be authorised by a manager+ and this will be added to the player’s notes for future reference. This may seem an overly harsh line by the staff team but there are plenty of opportunities for players to improve before facing significant punishments. We will also be using this as an opportunity to crack down on the quality of roleplay (not to be confused with requiring hardcore roleplay - we do not require hyper-realism). We have decided to release this information for the community and not just our staff team in an effort to smooth the transition - and not put the onus solely on our staff team. You may now consider yourself forewarned. This should encourage those of you who do silly things because you are 'bored' to behave with the other players around you in mind; you are ruining their roleplay and that isn't acceptable. We are still a welcoming community for newcomers but a certain minimum level of respect for others and our server needs to be maintained. We will also be introducing a few more initiatives to try and improve the experience for new players without negatively effecting the more experienced players. Further information to come soon on that. Regards, Molotov On behalf of the OzzyGaming Management team.

definitely poke my head into the stream hopefully wont run into you too much in game hahaha

Thanks for being a part of the community @Tipsy Can't wait to see your streams!

Hey everyone, I am new to the whole RP scene. I would love to get into it. I logged into the game and the whole thing was very overwhelming. I was unsure how to use voice chat as the key assigned was not working and I could not see my mouth moving. I was also unaware of how to change my characters appearance to match the story I had in mind. After visiting the website and reading all the rules I was then even more so overwhelmed. As a first time Roleplayer I was worried that if I made a mistake I would be either kicked or banned which is frankly not what I envisioned would be "fun". I am still super excited to start, however, I am just unsure if this server is to advanced for me? If not, does anyone know of any videos or forums I can read to get a better understanding on how to start? Or is it okay if I join and make a few mistakes here and there. I don't want to join and break character but what happens if I don't know how to put my hands up (C I think) or perform a certain action? Is there a way to break RP to ask? Will that irritate players? Anyway- Thanks for your time, Andrew

hey stranger welcome back

No. Any warning or ban placed will always be logged.

Hey, mate Would like to say Ozzygaming is serious/Casual With most Players having good roleplay aspects and On top of that there is an amazingly friendly staff team backing Ozzy up at all times but there are some trolls witch get dealt with but theirs always gonna be trolls on whatever server u play I would say Ozzygaming is a strong community with serious aspects of Rp that always has a fun side, Ozzy has Much to do with all the Venues that are open regularly also events and other RP Things to do If u, in the end, decide to chose Ozzy to play on Good luck mate hope to see u around Thanks Jordo

+ 1 I like to think our whole group takes the role play pretty serious, ive been with the same crew for over a month now and havent heard some of them break character once even if its just 2 of us having a chat hahaha

Whitelisted Businesses Businesses are management approved whitelisted player-owned businesses. In order to be considered as a business owner, you must complete a business application. Applicants must be active, dedicated to our server, have an above standard level of roleplay, and have the ability to lead. Businesses are vital to the success of our server. Thus, as a business owner, you are considered a community leader, and are held to a higher standard under our rules. This should not be taken lightly, as many people will look to you when seeking progression. Rules Last Updated: 01/04/2020 (Breaching any of these may result in a strike or your removal as a business owner.) Business owners are required to pay a $50,000 business bond when signing their contract. Business contracts will be up for renewal every two months. Businesses are non-transferable. Business owners, and employees must use their provided TeamSpeak 3 channels when working. Business owners must actively monitor the business whitelisting application Discord channel to hire community members. As of 01/10/2019, business whitelisting applications on the forums are redundant. Business Discord servers must be owned by OzzyGaming. New businesses will be provided with a base Discord server in advance and given full access to modify it. If a new owner is taking over an existing business, they will be provided with the existing server. Business owners and their management must uphold the values of our server. Moreover, they acknowledge that they are community leaders and will be held to a higher standard than regular community members. Business owners must not bring the community into disrepute. Only 2 members of the business are allowed to have the Owner/Boss rank in game Hiring friends is fine. However, this must be balanced with hiring new players. Business owners must remain active to maintain their business. This does not mean playing every day. However, extended absence of more than a week will likely result in their forfeiture of the business. Business owners must inform management if they wish to go on leave for an extended period of time. However, they must make arrangements to pay their employees. Moreover, they must have assigned a 2IC to act in their absence. Going on leave must not be for an arbitrary reason, if a business owner is burnt out, it is time to pass on the torch to another community member. It is fine for businesses to engage in hostile roleplay occasionally. However, they must not primarily revolve around this type of roleplay. Business owners are free to engage in illegal/dodgy business. However, there must be a legal legitimate business front. Business managers (not owners) may not hold a high-ranking position in another business or community. However, they may hold an administrative position in Police/EMS (they may not be a part of either Cabinet). Business owners may not hold a high-ranking position in another business or community. Mechanic and Car dealership owners must ensure that their employees are completing the invoice forms provided by Management. Business owners can use their society as banking system to store other people's money as long as a DOCUMENTED fee is applied. However if Business owner are caught asset transferring or aiding others in doing so, ALL involved will face a permanent removal from the community and the owner will have their business seized. Business owners will be subjected to a fine, which will be 30% of their society balance, if the Criminal Investigation Division can prove that the business is conducting illegal activities. Business owners will have 2 weeks to pay this fine, or they forfeit their business. Business owners must conduct their affairs in-game when appropriate. For example, all money laundering activity/correspondence should be conducted in-game rather than TS3/Discord.
