    The PDF link and Rockstar post link below have some invaluable information for creating excellent balanced captures and also explain the different types. We, as a crew, have always been a bit short on created captures so if these can help any budding creators out there make some fantastic xDBx captures then all good! Capture Guide PDF Link R* Game Tips - Making Balanced Captures GTA mode tasks players with stealing target vehicles located all around the map, before bringing them back to their respective bases. Each team must fight to steal more vehicles in the allotted time than their opponents. Contend teams must fight to bring Capture Object(s…

    Guide to Checkpoint Placement

    by handcuff_charlie

    I did not put this together. I have C&P'd it here without permission from GTAForums....like I need their permission. It's not necessarily the gospel, but I would say 90% of this is solid and if followed you can't go wrong. Since several people have taken a new interest in creating their own races lately, I thought this could help. The Basics ​​One CP should be placed either on or slightly before every corner apex. Not one before, one after. There can be leeway if the bend is gradual and the path is clear. Generally and preferably, place it such that the outside edge touches the inside curb at the apex of the turn for street races. Placing CPs beyond the ape…

    Issianapolis 500 Idea / Checkpoint Placement Tip

    by kernalhogan

    We played Ally's Issianapolis 500 at Two Bros. and were discussing how to force players to take the jump(s). I hopped into the creator and may have found the solution. Place any large flat prop down for the "elevated" checkpoints. It can be multiple or just a massive one. Place a primary and secondary checkpoint on the elevated prop(s). This will allow players to choose any ramp and still activate the checkpoint. Make sure your elevated checkpoints are the correct size, type, and placement. They won't be editable after the next step. Don't delete, just edit the placement of the elevated prop(s). Place it off to the side, far from…

    Various issues/problems & solutions 1 2

    by zmurko

    I thought I'd open another topic for anyone to ask how to overcome a problem in the creator or when you don't know a solution for something. Anyway, here's my first question. Why doesn't it let me place a spawn point where there's clearly enough space and/or not much incline. Is this a common problem/bug and what's a solution, or does this have anything to do with the building blocks placed nearby (not in the way as far as I can tell anyway)? Area must be clear: (do I need a f****** airfiled?!) The ground must be level: (I don't remember spawn points needing a 0.00000000 degrees flat area!)

    by JustHatched

    Successful creation? Favorite creation Hardest to make creation? Most disliked creation? (post links to them) My most successful by plays is XDBX Speedway with 3.8k plays. And I don't really know why, its fun but it isn't a great race by any means. It was probably one of the early ovals made though. My favorite is Dirty Dock Sucker, I always thought this TDM played out well, it's just fun for me. Hardest to make was XDBX Runabout Decisions, it was tough making this track to resemble the course of the none stunt version and it has all available props. The one I hate the most is Grenadeball HD (no li…

    Bugged Jobs 1 2 3

    by djw180

    Word got round about this yesterday but I thought I'd post here as well. We've found a number of jobs that will not load with an error saying something like there's bad data in them and they need remaking (don't remember exact wording). Based on those I know are effected I think it must be related to the Gunrunning update. One of them is Squirrel's Surfs Up II and I'm sure I have done quite recently before Gunrunning came out. After a bit of discussion I think we have ruled out the actual locations of the bunkers being the cause as some of those effected are no where near any bunkers, but of course it's possible there are multiple causes of the bug. It also can …

    Stunt race weather bug

    by djw180

    I found another bug. You can only have the weather set to clear in stunt races. The option to change the weather appears on the screen for the host to alter, but you can't change it from clear. Rockstar made stunt races do not have the option to change the weather. This is definitely something to bear in mind for anyone planning on making / updating tracks for long races where you may want to have current weather, and obviously for any race you want to have set to raining (how I found out about this).

    un-wanted customs 1 2

    by djw180

    EDIT: seems to have finally been fixed, see last post Not sure where to put this, seems sort of a creator issue but might go better somewhere else. Has anyone else noticed that since the Cunning Stunts update, races that are supposed to be locked to a single vehicle have customs on and no way as host to turn customs off? Or is it just me? What should happen is if the creator locks a race to one vehicle in a class then that is all you can choose and there is no option for the host to turn customs on or off. If the creator has 2 or more vehicles available in a class then the host can choose customs on or off. Those of you at last We…

    planes

    by djw180

    It seems that although many of the new planes are available in the creator the bombs some of them can carry are not. I just tried making a capture based on bombing an NPC base then stealing a package from it. No bombs on Starling or Cuban. Anyone else tried using the planes in the creator? Is there a way use their bombs?

    Start Grid Glitch

    Double G was telling me about this last night, didn't know about it myself and couldn't see anything on here. Sure most of you will know about it already but figured I'd share before I forgot. Fully explained in video but it's a method of getting cars placed for a race with the small grid that is normally only for bikes. obviously this wouldn't work for everything, races that you're going from the start for example but if you were building a track for an event that we'd be sorting the grid for anyways and wanted the start of the race to be somewhere GTA won't let you it could be useful.

    Real Life Street Circuits 1 2 3

    by zmurko

    This is a long(ish) term planning thread for a racing championship I have in planning stages and which should happen after the currently planned Pfister Supercup is over. Details of the championship itself are still being planned, but one aspect of it is definitely clear. Championship will be held on real life street/city circuits and for that reason I need a lot of help from the crew. So creators can already get busy and start (re)creating some of the famous street circuits from around the world. Some guidelines to help you (to be added): - it doesnt need to be an exact replica, but try to come as close to the original layout/configuration as possib…

    Our Best Races? 1 2

    by Squirrel

    The other night while racing we were discussing that we should submit more of our tracks to Broughys Content Creator Stream in an effort to gain more exposure for our creations. I've just been watching the latest stream and he has reopened the submissions again for fresh tracks. We are limited to one track per creator so which of each of our creators tracks would you recommend to be submitted? Once we get a shortlist up I'll create a poll and we can vote and see if we can get one of our tracks featured. Link for the submissions here: https://goo.gl/forms/zHxf68mB557hL0df2

    Recreating old creations.

    There has been some ingenious jobs made by the crew using the heavy restrictions we had before, now we have the full range of stunt props available in the creator along with the ability to stack items properly I've been able to improve a few of my jobs. I'm going to be going through my creations to see what else can be changed with the new tools and props. While I'm doing this, are there any other jobs that you think could be improved. We could either suggest improvements for the creator if they are still in the crew or for those jobs where the creator has now left we could create new versions of the jobs.

    Can't load/save jobs in the creator workaround

    by zmurko

    I've looked around a little, visited the GCCC forums and looked at few videos. Apparently, the new bug that puts you in a loop if you try to load or save a race in the creator is something that's been done on purpose by R* to prevent anyone from accesing the special vehicles content in the creator, but instead of just "blocking" that, they caused EVERY DLC vehicle to cause the problem. What I learned is that if you have any of the DLC vehicles (ANY, even a Turismo for example) selected as default vehicle, it wont let you save or load the job. This should be fixed with the release/unlock of the new content that's already in the game, but still not accesible (new …

    Publish a Job Without Testing It

    by zmurko

    Looks like I simplified it last night when explaining it (left out few steps), but here's the youtube video on how to publish a job without testing it. Really useful when making a GTA race that requires you to get out of your vehicle for example as this is not something that can be done when testing it in the creator (think Gfred for example). Here's all the steps you need to take, to summarize what's in the video: 1. Save unpublished job (after you're done creating it) 2. Enter Test 3. Exit Test without finishing it 4. Go back to creator Main Menu 5. Load the saved job 6. Select Publish It'll now show on RSC, but apparently a…

    Warning on editing your existing land races

    by JustHatched

    I wanted to update my land races with the cars, I started with of my lesser played races and they got changed to stunt races, after some testing I made zero changes on a copy of Runabout, I made zero changes, no car changes,. props, nothing, all I did was make a copy, went into the copy and saved it and it got changed from land race to stunt race. It wouldn't be a big deal if stunt races weren't locked to contact or non contact (whatever you saved it at). I don't want all my races locked to one thing cuz some work on all settings. Just an FYI, don't edit anything on your races that you want all settings to be an option

    unable to update a death match

    by djw180

    Anyone else noticed this recently? I can not update a published Death Match. Races are fine, I did one a couple of hours ago, and captures were OK last week at least. But in a published death match of mine earlier I made changes, did a test, got the "you have completed a successful test" message, went to the main menu to update it and the "update" option is shaded lighter than the others. When I tried to select it a message said something like "unable to update as there have been no recent changes". This is a TDM I made on PS3 and was attempting to update on PS4. I tried updating it on the PS3 as well and get exactly the same problem. I'll report it as a bug to Rocks…

      Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo

      Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10

      TV shows

      I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.
