Chat, voice and combat

#Chat

• No more than one message per second, up to 200 characters.
• A line starting with / is a command (list below).
• Server staff have a role tag in chat: Creator, Administrator, Moderator. Only the server can set it.
• Server messages are colour-coded by importance: the most important ones, such as restarts and backups, are red.
• The chat can translate messages into your language and mark them as "translated". When the translator is off on the server, messages arrive as they are.
• Insulting someone's family gets you muted for up to a month, then banned (rules). While muted, any attempt to write shows the reason and the time left.
• You can hide the chat: F2 → "Settings" → "Screen".

#Commands

#Voice

• You only talk while holding N. Without the key your mic stays silent.
• Voice chat is turned on in FiveM: Esc → "Settings" → "Voice Chat". That is also where you set your microphone, volume and output device.
• Your voice is always loud, like a shout: there is no whisper and no range switching. The volume is the same from every direction and fades with distance.

• Walls and vehicles don't muffle voices.
• A speaker icon shows above whoever is talking: up to 15 m away, and only if you can see that player.
• Dead players on the death screen and players in the main menu can't talk.
• Zombies hear voices too: while you hold N, you are as loud to them as if you were running. More in noise and stealth.
• Can't hear anyone? Type /zvoice: the check shows what is wrong. The result is in F8.

#/report: message an admin

• /report and your message, 3 to 500 characters. Without a message a window opens.
• Once a minute at most, and no more than three open reports: wait for an answer.
• The answer comes in chat with a sound. If you have left, you get it the next time you join.
• The same from the menu: F2 → "Support" → "Message the admin".

#/unbug: when you are stuck

• Type /unbug and stand still for 2 minutes. A ring appears on the ground (only you see it) and a countdown at the bottom of the screen. Then you get moved to a random spawn point with all your gear.
• Move more than a metre, get into a vehicle or get into a fight, and it is cancelled. Typing /unbug again cancels it too.
• Not allowed in a vehicle, in a fight, in handcuffs, lying down or dead.
• After a move, the next /unbug is available in 30 minutes. Rejoining does not reset that.

#Combat and logging out

• Who is in a fight. Anyone wounded by another player, and anyone who hit another player. Zombies, falls and cold don't count, and neither do shots into the air or at zombies.
• How to leave. Only after standing still for 10 seconds. The "Anti-relog" countdown is at the bottom of the screen. A step, running, driving or a new wound restarts it. Turning on the spot, crouching and aiming are fine.
• Leave earlier and your character dies, everyone sees "... left during combat and died", and your body with all your gear stays there for 2 hours. Closing the game or crashing counts the same way. A server restart does not count.
• There are no safe zones. Who you trust is up to you.

Can't get away from zombies? Lie down with U and play dead: zombies lose interest in someone lying still. More in noise and stealth.
