Capture - Types & Creation Help
by Casey- 0 replies
- 1.4k views
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

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- 1 follower
- 1 reply
- 328 views
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…

ps4 Various issues/problems & solutions 1 2

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!)

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

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- 1 follower
- 10 replies
- 2.5k views
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).

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…

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?

ps4 Start Grid Glitch

- 1.4k views
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.

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…

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

Thought we could share some of the tips&tricks with how new cunning stunts props could be used in track creations. If you have a question, fire away and we'll try to help you. If you have found a great way to use a certain prop, please do share with us. If you have seen something really cool in someone's creation and have no idea how it was done, please share it with us and we'll try to figure it out together and perhaps learn how to use it ourselves too. Etc... I'll start with a question. Anyone knows what this (sunken) prop might be? It looks too wide to be a building block I think. It's also too short (and again too…

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. Most jobs are fine as they are but it would be go…

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 …

ps4 Publish a Job Without Testing It

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…

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

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…

234Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #172 (Apr 14-20) Alien dir. Ridley Scott/1979/1h57m One of the greatest sci-fi horror films of all time, Ridley Scott's Alien stars Sigourney Weaver as a member of a deep space mining crew who takes a detour to an SOS message on the long journey back to Earth, finding a crashed ship full of eggs. My favourite thing about this film after seeing it so many times is how worn and lived in the ship is. I totally believe that it's real and functional and that this crew has spent months living in it. The opening sequence where we explore the empty ship while the crew is in cryosleep not only builds tension but allows us to take in the incredible details in the production design. Speaking of design, H.R. Giger's design for the xenomorph is the best in movie history (though the lil guy who bursts out of John Hurt's chest is kinda cute and goofy looking). The aggressively ph*llic look of it works well with the very male perspective fear of r*pe and childbirth. The whole cast is excellent, alongside Weaver and Hurt you have Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton and Yaphet Kotto, the latter two making a great comedic double team. 9.5/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Now You See Me dir. Louis Leterrier/2013/1h56m Now You See Me tells the story of a group of Las Vegas magicians known as the Four Horsemen (Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco) who rob banks live during their show, distributing the money to their audience. They are being tracked by Mark Ruffalo's FBI agent Rhodes who is determined to uncover their secrets. Totally forgettable fluff, there are some nice moments in here, and I liked the twist at the end even though you can see it coming a mile away. The big trick showpieces are entertaining in that artificial Vegas way that also feels hollow and meaningless. My biggest gripe here is with the four main characters and that I didn't like any of them. Like real magicians I found them to be annoying and so far up their own *sses that I was actively rooting against them every step of the way. The exception is Harrelson, though he comes close at times. There's solid support from Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, with Ruffalo giving the best performance in the film. This is the definition of inoffensive cinematic background noise. 5/10 Cinderella dir. Georges Méliès/1899/6m Georges Méliès here with some more ground breaking work from the dawn of cinema. Not only is this the first film adaptation of Cinderella, it's also the first film adaptation of any fairy tale and also the first film to use dissolves to transition between scenes (with this being his first film with more than one scene). Watching this is to watch the evolution of film in real time, and, like the rest of his work, it's nothing less than magical. This is Méliès becoming more innovative and inventive with his films becoming more complex and technically demanding. The sets and costumes are beautifully detailed and like illustrations come to life. It's amazing to me that a film from the 19th century can still be so magical. 8/10 How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies dir. Pat Boonnitipat/2024/2h7m This family drama/comedy from Thailand stars Putthipong Assaratanakul as M, a lazy young man who has dropped out of college to try and start a streaming career ("wow four viewers" his mother chides early on). When he learns that his grandmother (Usha Seamkhum) has cancer he thinks that he can weasel his way to the top of her will by moving in with her to care for her. A tender and gentle film that also surprises with some pretty dark humour, I found this to be incredibly charming with two excellent lead performances from Assaratanakul and Seamkhum. Seamkhum is particularly impressive in her late in life film debut as the wily old woman who sees through all the bullsh*t from her grandson, but also sees something of herself in him. The plot is fairly predictable - of course the two will grow closer to each other and form a real bond by the time she dies - but the journey to that point, and the touching epilogue, I really enjoyed. There's a lot of family drama with the grandmother's children but it always feels close to reality and not emotionally manipulative or overly melodramatic at any point. 9/10 Shock Treatment dir. Jim Sharman/1981/1h34m Shock Treatment is a sequel to one of my all time favourite films, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and picks up with Brad and Janet (now played by Cliff DeYoung and Jessica Harper) a few years later with their marriage now on the rocks. To rectify this they appear on a TV show with the result being Brad getting committed to a psychiatric hospital run by Dr. Cosmo McKinley (Richard O'Brien) and Janet getting groomed for superstardom. This is perhaps even more bizarre than Rocky Horror, certainly more cynical, with the world now seeming to exists as a series of TV shows, a live studio audience never leaving, sleeping in their seats as the film happens on screens all around them. It's a strange dystopia that seems to predict the dominance TV would have over our lives to an even greater extent in the era of commercialism and Reganomics. If there's not a camera on you then you don't exist, like the antithesis of Rocky Horror's theme of "don't dream it, be it". Many of the Rocky Horror cast returns with the exception of Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as Janet and Brad (though DeYoung and especially Harper do an excellent job in the roles) and most notably Tim Curry. I kept imagining him in the role played by Barry Humphries (most famous for playing Dame Edna Everage), a garishly sleazy host called Bert Schnick. Humphries is great, but we all know Curry would have been better. Another slight let down for me is the soundtrack. As a musical this doesn't really compare with Rocky Horror, though there are some catchy tunes in there, the main theme still popping into my head occasionally. 9/10 #21xoxo dir. Sine Ozbilge, Imge Ozbilge/2019/9m This animated short from Belgium shows a girl (Indra de Bruyn) and her experiences with online dating, hooking up with several men before finding a genuine connection. The most striking thing about this film are the visuals, with the film being rotoscoped, a process where live action footage is traced over by animators giving it natural movement, a process used by Disney for Snow White back in 1937. Here it's given a thoroughly modern makeover, with the screen bombarded with text and images and memes representing the experience of being chronically online. The aesthetic also calls to mind pop art of the 60's, showing that the digital world may be new but the problems of finding a partner are anything but. It's at times overwhelming, purposefully so, but there's still a cohesion between all these elements. The ending is a bit on the nose but it's well done, wrapping the whole thing up maybe a bit too neatly. 7/10 Toomas Beneath the Valley of the Wild Wolves dir. Chintis Lundgren, Drasko Ivezic/2019/18m Another animated short, this time from Estonia, this tells the story of Toomas (Drasko Ivezic), a wolf who is fired after turning down his boss's advances. With a wife and children to support he turns to prostitution and then gay p*rn. Meanwhile, his wife Viivi (Chintis Lundgren) is learning some things about herself thanks to militant feminist Alexandra Horn-Eye (Lee Delong). This reminded me a lot of Bug Diner, another charming and cheeky animation about sexuality and relationships starring anthropomorphic animals. That was stop motion while this is animated in a simple yet effective style, the linework wobbling between frames like Doug, the 90's cartoon. Like Bug Diner, this is also a very mature film with more human characters than a lot of live action films that tackle the same subjects. 8.5/10 No Home But Cinema: The Spaces of Chantal Akerman dir. Jessica McGoff/2025/14m (no trailer for this, so here's one for a similar film) This short essay film explores the films of Chantal Akerman through her use of space and locations, how she films them, how she moves through them and what they represent. McGoff doesn't narrate this film, rather her essay is presented as text on the screen over clips from films that illustrate her points. I like this approach and how it's executed. The text isn't presented in blocks but line by line and is edited with the rhythm of the film clips so that they're unobtrusive and allow you to fully immerse in the various worlds of Akerman. This doesn't go too in depth with any of her observations as they are things you will pick up on by just watching the films, but it would work as a good introduction to her and what to look out for in her work. 7/10 Hotel Monterey dir. Chantal Akerman/1973/1h3m (no trailer so have an extended clip) Staying with Chantal Akerman, Hotel Monterey is an observational documentary in which she explores the titular hotel, a cheap one in New York where she stayed when she first moved to the city, from the lobby to the roof. It starts off at night where her camera captures people milling about in the lobby, taking the elevators up and down. She then prowls the corridors like a ghost, her very formally structured compositions bringing out the textures of the grimy yellow walls. Methodically we move upwards until we are on the roof, it is day now, and the feeling of escape is palpable. We do this all in silence, and I mean total silence. No music, no background noise, nothing. Not only does this make us even more aware of what we're seeing on screen, but it also makes us aware of our own environment. An exploration of space is happening on the screen and in real life at the same time and it's kind of amazing once you notice that. It's like Akerman speaking out of time saying here I am, where are you? This also feels like a prelude to her masterful film News From Home, in which she takes the same approach but expands it to the whole city, though this time with sound. This totally isn't for everyone, it's not even close to what you'd call entertaining, but if you give it a chance you'll get so much out of it. 8.5/10- 1

234Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Local Hero (1983) dir Bill Forsyth A great early 80s British light comedy drama. Peter Reigert (who I have never seen in anything else) plays Mac, a lawyer / accountant / fixer working for Texas based Happer oil. The CEO, Mr Happer (Burt Lancaster), sends Mac to oversee the purchase of an entire Scottish fishing village that they want to demolish to build a new oil terminal. Mac expects at least some of the villagers, led by their lawyer / accountant / hotel manager Gordon Urquart (Denis Lawson - Wedge from Star Wars), to put up somewhat of a fight. But they are not quite the simple folk he expects. They already know what is going on and Urquart intends to squeeze as much cash as possible from the big oil company. It also co-stars a young Peter Capaldi, almost unrecognisable at times, as Oldsen, a Scottish Happer Oil employee assigned to help Mac and Jenny Seagrove as marine biologist Marina, working for them in what she knows is really just a job to generate good PR in case of environmental problems. Marina has slightly webbed feet, making her seem a bit like a mermaid as she swims, which her job requires a lot of. This is possibly a nod to the Jerry Anderson puppet show Stingray that had a mermaid called Marina. (And maybe having watched Team America last week this is what subconsciously made me decide to watch this film that I have seen many times before). It also features a host of other faces, mainly Scottish actors, familiar to anyone who has watched a lot of British TV over the years, like me. But sometimes it takes a while to recognise them, because this was made over 40 years ago. One of the non-Scots is Christopher Rozycki, who is great as the captain of a Soviet fishing trawler that makes frequent visits to the village. He quite clearly is not a believer in the political ideology of his homeland. He has a great line I wish I could remember word for word, but at one point he says to Mac something like “Don't look so worried. You are doing a great thing here. You are making people very rich!”. It is a beautifully made film, technically very, very good. It's set mainly in the village, but starts in Houston and switches back there a couple of times and has some stunning scenes of the Scottish countryside and coast. There's no great tension to the story, no massive plot twists. It's quite a gentle tale of Mac falling in love with the village he has basically come to destroy, but the locals just wanting the money. Forsyth got a well deserved BAFTA for the direction and a nomination for the original script. It also got a number of other worthy nominations including Chris Menges' cinematography and Mark Knopfler's modern score that includes the iconic “Going home” guitar – saxophone instrumental that accompanies the end credits. The only acting one was for Lancaster but the rest of the cast are very good, even down to some quite minor roles. I do have to pick it up on a couple of factual issues. The village is shown on a map in North West Scotland, but the oil is (was) all on the east, in the North Sea between Scotland and Norway. And I know, from a friend who used to live there and remembers the filming, it was mainly filmed on location in various villages on the east coast. The other thing might have been a deliberate joke at the expense of Hollywood. This is when Marina is showing Oldsen a colony of what are described as grey seals, but what we see on screen are quite clearly sea-lions, the sort you might well see in California but certainly not Scotland! Those don't really detract from the overall film though which is one of my all time favourites. 10 / 10- 2
