Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce that I am releasing my Police Database to the public.

The program is still in BETA stages and features are being added as I work on them. I am creating this topic to post the latest news on the site, and also for support/bugs.

You may access the database @ http://torontovirtua...m.com/computer/ and register today. I will approve accounts as soon as I can (my web host does not let me use mail() until I pay a $10 fee, so I will not be notified of new members, but I do check often, but anything over 24 hours please let me know here.)

Please report any bugs, and give as much information, use screenshots/copy+paste.

You can use this in a few different ways, 1) Set up another laptop next to your computer and access the database on that while you play GTA on the other. Obviously this is the most stable and enjoyable way to use the database, but requires multiple computers.

2) Multi-Monitor support: Run GTA IV on one monitor, and Web Browser on the second.

3) Use a overlay program: There are multiple programs out there that offer Web Browser overlay, PlayExpert, Steam, X-Fire to name a few. I use Steam as I have found it quite stable. You do not need to have brought the game through steam to use their overlay. If you need help setting this up please PM me.

I do not recommend Alt+Tab due to the unstable nature of GTA IV.

A few rules regarding the database:

1) No offensive or obscene language in the reports. All public reports are screened before approval in to the database, we have a warning system in place, if you accumulate 5 warning points your account will be banned and you will not be able to register again.

2) No offensive or obscene names in the database. Again all public names are screened before being approved.

3) No offensive or Obscene usernames (As people will see your reports filed by this), or Real Names (As this will be added to the database for searching).

I hope that you all enjoy this database, and I hope to keep updating it with new features to make it more realistic.

Projects:

Citizen Database is online.

Live Reports is in testing. (The screening process is now complete and you may start to use it. Please report all bugs).

Dispatch is in construction. (This is going to be a huge project and I am going to have to learn a lot more than what I already know, this will be the most buggy at first. This section is starting to come along.)

Breathalizer is not started.

Licence Plate Runner is still undecided. (Not sure if I want to release this as car/driver is never the same. I'm still thinking on this option)

These are all I have so far, if you have any other features you would like to see, please post them below :)

Do we have to register for the Game Clan in order to use this or can we use it on our own and simply have an overlay in the community?

The public section has a different registration, and login area, and the public's reports have to be screened by staff before being added to the main database, but the civilian database is shared with everyone.

The public section does not require any commitment to my clan. It's a short registration form compared to the registration to my clan which is a longer form.

Okay, is the public registration the one currently under the registration section on the site?

NVM: I found it and have signed up!

Registration for the public section is not the link on the left, thats registration to the clan, it clearly stats it in the text.

What is the database?

Yeah, I found the link on the main page there.

What is the database?

check out the video there.

Can't wait to use it!

Important announcement, my TeamSpeak server IP address has changed. Please look in my sig for the updated IP address!

*EDIT* Everyone who registered while I was without internet has been approved, I am sorry for the delay, and I hope you enjoy using my system.

Database is back online, and the site is fully functioning again.

Update: Dispatch section is almost finished, I'm checking the system for any final bugs, then I will write up the user guide and test for it, then it will be released to members, then after a few simple changes I will open it up to the public. The major issue I am looking at right now is how to allow other clans to use their own 10 codes and not limit them to just mine.
