Group Features

Group Features are the shared systems, tools, perks, and unlocks that a group can use in CIT. They include communication features, shared money storage, rewards, display options, group job access, radio, and level based base upgrades.

Feature notes

Group features are mainly used through:

/settings

Some features are available as soon as a group has access to them, while others unlock through group level progression.

Display and identity features

Group blips

Group blips are radar and map markers for group members.

They appear as:

a circular blip with a G

The color of a group blip depends on:

the player's job

Group and alliance names on F11

To show group and alliance member names on the map:

open /settings
find Enable Group/Alliance Member Names in F11
set it to Group and Alliance

To disable them:

set it to Disabled

Turf and group chat colors

Members with the matching rank permission can use:

/turfcolor <R G B>
/groupchatcolor <R G B>

LV turf color changes are limited to 2 per month. A new color does not repaint turfs already held. Use /turfcolorls R G B for LS turfs.

RGB values go from:

0 to 255

Tag color

To open the tag color picker, use:

/tagcolor

To set an exact tag color, use:

/tagcolor R G B

This changes the player's name color in chats and kills. A custom tag color must first be bought from another player on F7 or earned by donating: every 200 GBP donated in total gives one.

The picker shows a live Tag color preview with RGB values and a hexadecimal code. It has R, G, B, Alpha, H, S and L boxes and nine Recently used colors: places. Click outside the window to close it. Use /tagcolor off to turn the custom color off or /tagcolor view to see your current color and changes left.

Group display settings

To change group, alliance, or squad display settings:

open /settings
open General > GROUP / ALLIANCE for group and alliance controls, or General > SQUAD for squad controls

This tab includes settings such as:

login messages
name tags
tag colors
blip style

Group Job

L6+ groups can request a custom Group Job.

If approved:

members with permission can use /gojob
or use the Group Job button in F6

At Group Level 10, civilian groups can use /gojob from base to set themselves as any job without going to the normal job spawner.

Group Radio

Your rank needs the Group Radio permission. To open the group radio panel, use:

/gradio

If a stream does not start:

use Plug aux first
if someone else is using it, ask them to Unplug aux
or ask a groupmate with Group Radio access to force plug or unplug the aux

Outsiders can hear a group's radio if they are:

inside the group's interior as a visitor

To toggle group radio off or on, use:

/mutegr

The disabled state lasts until you use /mutegr again. Alternatively, set Disable Group Custom Radio to Yes under /settings > General > GROUP / ALLIANCE. This mutes audio but leaves song-change notices visible.

Level based feature unlocks

A group gets Level 1 by obtaining a forum board. Levels 1 to 4 are automatic when /groupstats shows eligibility and activity stays above 25%; board age and required features also matter. Levels 5 to 10 require a Group Profile Board application.

Promotion rules:

Level 1 to Level 4 are automatic
Level 5 to Level 10 require an application through the Group Profile Board

Group Level	Feature unlocks
Level 1	Board, protection for `1` group tag, and access to `/groupstats`
Level 2	Depositing through `/groupbank` (the window opens at any level); base, interior, or CITy base requests; Base Features Panel; base Ammunation through `X`; automatic healing; `/addbaseped`, `/delbaseped`, `/addstaticveh`, `/delstaticveh`. With a base, request up to 6 car shop cars except Advanced Hummer, or up to 12 vehicles for official groups, at `$2,500,000` each. Civilian groups may also request 2 helicopters. An info marker logo costs `$15,000,000` and requires a base with an info marker.
Level 3	`/addbasespawn <spawn name>` and `/delbasespawn`
Level 4	Request one skin shader for `$30,000,000` and one custom graffiti for `$20,000,000`. The one graffiti limit and price also apply at L5; L6+ groups can have up to 3 graffiti free.
Level 5	Barriers and the ability to request a billboard
Level 6	Up to 3 base interiors; a free custom Group Job and `/gojob`; `/l6speaker <link>`; `/l4veh` in LS and SF airports. With a group job and occupation, request one vehicle for recovery without VIP for `$10,000,000`. Demotion below L6 removes the job; request it again after returning to L6.
Level 7	`2` extra skin shaders, `1` vehicle shader, and Vehicle Tazer against `3`-star wanted drivers
Level 8	Request a unique skin model for the group job, and request planes, boats, and helicopters with a base. Civilian groups can request up to 2 helicopters earlier under L2+ base rules.
Level 9	Auto repair and auto refuel inside the base, and Hydra missiles without locking first. Base vehicle repair and auto-healing do not work when the vehicle owner is wanted.
Level 10	`/rt` from the base to anywhere on the map, `/gojob` for civilian groups without visiting the job spawner, `/modshop` from inside the base, `1` extra non-`VIP` recoverable vehicle, `2` extra free car and skin shaders, a special custom `VIP` hat, and armor spawn for law and criminal groups

The occupation name appears in TAB and stats. Demotion below L6 removes the job, and it must be requested again after reaching L6.

Tag protection

A Level 1+ group with a board may protect one tag. A new protected tag replaces the previous one. Reply in CITLD - Group Features with the group name, board link, and tag; do not create a separate topic. There is no command to check a player's protected tag access.
