Roleplay UK also has its own custom controls that are used to perform various functions within Altis Life that aren't usually available in Arma 3 which are explained below:

RPUK Tablet

RPUK Tablet

The Roleplay UK Tablet system is the main way of interacting with yourself and others across Altis and displays a variety of information in different menus.


At the top left area of the tablet you can see the current money you have stored in your Bank account, represented by the building icon. Directly underneath this you can see the money you currently have on hand represented by the bundle of cash! Be aware though, anything you have in your hand could be stolen from you or will fall on the floor if you are killed!!

Some shops will accept money via bank transfer and will not require you to have it on hand, other shops will require you to physically bring them the money before a sale can be made.

Underneath your money on hand there's a section to transfer money to other players. Simply type in the amount you wish to transfer, select the drop down and click their name - Be aware that they need to be close to you to allow a transfer!! To send money over long distances you can use any of the ATM's across Altis however they will charge you a small fee.


Next up you have your current Prestige Level. These can be gained by mastering a Profession to the level of 1000 which will then allow you various benefits and access to the Prestige club in Kavala.

Under the Prestige level you can see your current Unspent Skill Points and how close you are to gaining your next skill! These points can be earned by carrying out various activities, such as gathering Apples or Mining Ores. Once you reach 100 points you will gain 1 skill point which can be spent in the Skills menu. You can spend a maximum of 18 points so choose wisely!


In the middle of your tablet you have the list of current Licenses that you own. Different licenses can be bought at different places, the DVLA sells the main licenses for driving, flying, house ownership and the ability to own a legal firearm. Licenses to process goods can be bought at the relevant processor.


To the right hand side you have the current list of items you are carrying as well as the maximum weight that you are able to carry. To increase your weight carried there are various skills you can obtain or you can buy certain clothing items such as backpacks to give you more storage space. Below the main list of items there's another section that allows you to transfer items to another player, simply click the item you wish to transfer, type in the box how many you want to give them and select the name from the drop down menu and press "Give".

You can also remove items and throw them away entirely by selecting the item, typing in the amount you wish to remove and clicking the "remove" item. This action can't be undone so be careful!

Finally, to eat food and drink drinks then you can just click the item and hit the Use button as well as various other usable items such as lockpicks or boltcutters.

There are 2 additional options in the bottom section, Sync Data and Fix Uniform.

Sync Data allows you to perform a manual save to the servers to ensure you data is up-to-date. It's recommended to do this before you logout or before a restart. These can only be triggered every 5 minutes

Fix Uniform allows you to manually re-sync your uniform in-case Arma bugs out and you appear to be "naked" to everyone else.

At the bottom of the tablet there are various other buttons that allow you to access other menus:

Settings

Settings Menu

From the settings menu you are able to access the ability to change your maximum view distance (Note this is capped by your video settings) and set them at customised levels for each vehicle and if you are on foot to ensure the best frame rates possible.

  • Player Tags - This allows you to toggle on/off the ability to see player names above their heads.
  • Sidechat Settings - This allows you to toggle on/off the ability to see the sidechat
  • RPUK Hud - This allows you to toggle on/off the custom RPUK Hud that display your Heath, Food and Water status as well as tooltips and notifications

  • Enivronment Mode - Also to help with frame-rates this option allows you to enable and disable the ability to see ambient animals and fish across Altis
  • Hide Backup - This allows you to hide you backpack locally (so only you see this!) if you want to see you uniform or maybe to take cool screenshots!
  • Prestige Pop-Up - This allows you to toggle the ability to see the Prestige option when you hit level 1000 in a Profession
  • Message Pop-Up - This allows you to toggle the ability to see messages in the top right of your screen when you get a text in the phone
  • ARAC/Taxi Messages - This allows you to toggle the ability to receive ARAC or Taxi dispatches

One you've made a group or joined one and worked your way up the ranks you'll be able to invite other members to your group. To do this, the other player must not be in a group at all, you can search for their name at the very top or look under the "Ungrouped Players" section. Simply click on their name in this list and hit the "Invite Player" option that will show up at the bottom.

To accept and invite simply open up the Groups menu, locate the gang in the list, select it and click "Accept Invite".

Groups are also able to ally with other groups which gives them the ability to see each other on the map if they have a GPS equipped and the relevant skill. Any group leader (level 3 or higher) can ally with another group which will show all your members to them, the other group will then need to ally back to you. To carry this out, simply find the group in the list, select it and select the "Ally" option.

To promote a member you must be a level 3 or 4 member yourself. To promote someone else search or find their name in the list, select them and hit the "promote member" button, then select the new level and confirm the change. This is the same way to demote someone. Be aware: You can promote and demote anyone up to your level or from your level below. Be careful when promoting people and ensure you trust them as they could demote you back!

To kick a member simply find their name in the list and click "Kick member" this will instantly remove them and they'll require an invite to re-join.

To leave a gang then simply click on the gang name that you belong to and hit "Leave group".

Any level 4 member will have the ability to disband the gang by clicking the gang name and pressing the disband gang option. They must be the only level 4 member left in the gang and this will instantly remove everyone, remove access to any Group Properties and release the name for anyone else to use.

Once they are given keys they can also share it with other players so be careful!
