CreditsWhat are credits?In UIF you can buy credits, a virtual currency, which you can spend on special items. You can view your current amount of credits in-game by typing /credits
What can I spend my credits on?You can currently spend your credits on:
1. Labels (cost: 50,000 credits)You can permanently place a 3D text label with a custom text and color at any place in the GTA world. The label will stay there as long as you want.
/labels - shows your current labels
/label - place a label (takes your current name color as color)
/golabel - go to a label
/rlabel - remove a label
/ulabel - update a label text + color
Labels are very useful for marking your house, hotspot or group base, but they can be used for any purpose. Labels allow you to leave a personal and permanent mark in UIF.
To place a label with multiple colors, use hex colors inside the text, e.g. "<FF0000>Red <00FF00>Green <0000FF>Blue". Go to
http://www.colorpicker.com/, choose a color and take the # value and place it between < > tags. Your label now has multiple colors!
Limit? You can have up to 10 labels at the same time.
2. Body Object slots (cost: 50,000 credits)With credits you can get up to 3 additional Body Object slots in /o. This way you have even more possibilities to decorate and design your character.
To get extra slots just type /o and click on the slot you want to use. The Credits are automatically substracted on object creation and returned on object deletion.
3. Parked Vehicles (cost: 50,000 credits)You can permanently place a vehicle at any place in the GTA world. The parked vehicle will stay there as long as you want. The vehicle spawns with your custom settings: colors, paintjob, mod components, locked/unlocked.

Limit? You can have up to 10 parked vehicles at the same time.
4. Teleport Pickups (cost: 50,000 credits)You can permanently place a teleport pickup at any place in the GTA world. The teleport pickup will stay there as long as you want. When someone enters it they are teleported to a place of your choice.

Questions?You are free to ask questions in this thread.
AdministratorHave you always wanted to become an administrator of an online game server like UIF? And do you want to use special admin commands to enforce power over others in order to keep the server stable and clean from hackers?
Now it is possible to donate for admin status!Why do I have to donate for admin?The UIF server and its related services are given to the San Andreas Multiplayer community for free. But, running UIF costs real money. With your donation you help yourself and UIF at the same time. You become an admin, and you make sure UIF stays online.
Are there any restrictions or requirements to donate for admin?No. There are no restrictions or requirements. Anyone can donate for admin. In UIF nobody is discriminated in any way.
What admin level will I start with?You start as admin level 1, with automatic promotion possibilities on regular intervals.
Is it possible to get promoted?Yes. You are regularly promoted to a higher admin level after holding a level for a certain time period. Promotions give you new admin commands, more power and respect. It is also possible to donate for instant promotion to an admin level of your choice if you don’t like to wait.
Is it possible to get demoted?Being an admin means you are an example for the rest of the UIF players. Heavily abusing your status and commands for your own gain is an example of unwanted behavior. Depending on the situation, it is possible to get demoted.
Are there any rules I should follow as admin?UIF has an administration policy which is a guideline how to deal with in-game situations. There are also some administrative procedures you should follow when e.g. changing your name. The admin policy helps new admins like you to quickly gain familiar with the UIF admin system.
What is it like to be an admin on UIF?Of course you have access to special commands and features. Most of the time there are multiple admins online so there is always somebody to talk to. Together with other admins you make the daily decisions in UIF. And if you like attention: players love to hang out with admins. You can always ask online admins to tell you about their admin experience.
For how long will I keep my admin status? And is this a one-time donation?This is a one-time donation. You will keep your admin status for as long as you want.
