How do you get actors to respawn where you first place them? They seem to respawn about 100 yards outside of the walls of an arena I created.

Capture issues

I made my first capture recently for Lan's XDBX Tour of Los Santos event and found a few issues. So I just wanted to ask if this happens to others and can anything can be done. the description is meant to 500 characters but I could not use more than 100, this made is very difficult to explain what I wanted to a non-capture vehicle appears to be a capture vehicle on the map, this was a GTA I've seen this before in published captures, so I assume it's known bug RS hasn't fixed One of the capture vehicles appear to spawn on top of another one. I assume one had somehow destroyed itself and the other spawned before the first disappeared. T…

Need some help from those of you with created PS3 jobs. I have been slowly digging through this mess and adding all the missing tags. While going through these PS3 jobs I am finding several of them with bad/wrong RSC links for them. Some of them are also deleted. If you could check your threads it would save me lots of extra time. That would keep me from having to keep track of them and ask you to fix them one at a time. It does seem that most of the issues involve the older jobs on the last few pages. Of course this isn't a super pressing issue but it bugs me and my need for organization, lol. Thanks for any cooperation in this matter.

I'm putting together a small playlist designed for use with members of the crew or friends who may not be experienced with racing on GTA. I don't want anything technical or too long, they'll need to be nice short simple races ideally set to a single make stock car so no one has an advantage with customs or car knowledge. These races can also be used to help unlock race wins for those people who are bored with driving around criminal records again and again and again zzzzzzz What do you guys recommend?

Skewed Start Points
by G37- 2 followers
- 7 replies
- 1.5k views
So this seems to be a reoccurring issue. In many custom created jobs, specifically TDMs, start points are not what they're supposed to be. In fact it seems to utilize random spawns just like it would a normal death match. This got me thinking, it's been like this a while and I wonder if it has anything to do with the fix of spawn points on Cps in races (you can adjust the direction again, before it was bugged). It also has me wondering if all previously created jobs (on or before that issue perhaps) are affected. A number of jobs, mine included have been affected by this. However new ones, as far as I can tell anyway, don't seem to be. Any thoughts? I haven't had …

LTS creation help needed
by MrBump360- 7 replies

Hi Guys and Gals, so I'm trying to create an LTS. I have used stacking to create a flying structure, now I want to place vehicles for the teams to use and it is telling me that I can't because of stacking? Is there a simple way around this? I'm trying to place start points in the air above my play area, the idea is that each team gets a platform, each player get's into a car on that platform and then drops off the into the play area to launch the LTS proper. I am using the large buoy platform, is that the reason, do I need to use something else? thanks for any help, advice. Also thanks if you just point me at the thread where this has been discussed a million times b…

I've checked the weather forecast and it seems that snow is heading for Los Santos. This is the perfect time for some dedicated snow jobs for our playlists. I've just updated a race I made for the snow last year plus I've just made a melee only deathmatch to be used as a snowball fight. Does anyone have any other jobs that will be good in the snow, you can even make one if you have the time!

The Ultimate Destruction Derby?
by Squirrel- 2 followers

- 1.5k views
The destruction derbies we host are fun but everyone we make is flawed in one way or another, either lack of voice communication, difficulties when deciding a winner or people eliminated early having nothing to do while they wait for the event to finish. I've tried making 3 different styles of DD, the capture one does work just hampered by lack of voice and it's too easy to get another car or have the mid air craziness. The TDM version works well too but the ultimate winner usually isn't the last surviving car. The race version didn't really work that well. What I'd like some input on is what would make the ultimate DD event? Now that we have improved creator tool…

Eeeeek, got a bit of an issue here. I'm making a capture and am in the process of placing the actors. Now I've placed two of them on top of a prop, but wasn't too happy about that. So in all my wisdom, I decided to remove the actors. But by doing so, I accidentaly removed the prop and not the actor. Result is now some dude floating in mid air and I can't find a way to delete said actor or put a prop back underneath him. Any idea how to get this sorted? Pls don't say reload your last save

Placing On Props

Im working on a job right now and have run into a problem. I need to place team start points, and weapon pick-ups on top of props (similar to in RvI). I keep getting the messages "area must be clear" and "cannot stack". Ive tried placing directly onto the props, and placing on the ground and then moving them. Ive tried in capture (capture object, spawn points, weapons), LTS (spawn points, weapons), and race (CP, weapons). Is there some trick to placing things on top of props, or is it no longer possible?

New Capture Creation Questions
by LN-MLB- 5 replies
- 1.5k views
I've been trying to work on a capture lately, and I've run into a couple of things. 1) Is there no longer a way to edit or move a prop once it has been placed? I know I'm not losing my mind (or maybe I am), but I remember before the latest creator update, there was an option to move or edit the prop once it was on the ground or surface. That seems to be gone now. Unless I am missing something, it seems that you are forced to delete the prop and must place a new one instead. I wouldn't have an issue with that, but it seems to eat up the Model Memory... 2) That is my next concern--Model Memory Limit. I've googled through articles about this, and one person post…

I keep having crazy ideas in my sleep and I need somewhere to write them down and then can work out if they are feasible or fun enough to be developed into something more. If anyone wants to contribute they can do. First crazy idea which has just come to me is a recreation of the Death Star Trench Assault. I think it would need to be based on a capture. Not sure if it should be GTA or Contend. I'd use the LS river as the actual trench and have actors throughout the whole length with miniguns/RPGs to use as lazer emplacements. One team (Rebels) would attempt to fly down the trench trying to get the object (Torpedos) to the target (Thermal exhaust port) while t…

I hope it's OK to post this here. It's not anything like a proper race, but I would like a couple of people to test something to see if they encounter the same bug that I do. I have reported this to Rock Star support but they have asked if anyone else can test it to make sure it's not just a problem with my PS3. Made on PS3, but I would appreciate someone trying it on PS4 as well.

Creating Race Kerbs (PS4)
by Squirrel- 5 replies
- 2.5k views
Race barriers can be a bit of a contentious issue. We often use tyre walls and stacks as well as the concrete barriers to mark out the inside line of a corner. All have their issues and its not exactly the best method when creating a track. With the latest update we have now been given full 6 degrees of movement over props which means a lot more flexibility when creating a track. Not the best image but the only one I can find which shows the prop in question. This barrier when turned onto it's side and then embedded into the ground could be ideal for creating an inside kerb which would look and behave like a proper race kerb should. Those drivers skil…

Parachutes in GTA races
by djw180- 7 replies
- 2.2k views
I've been experimenting with making some special races in GTA mode, where you have to leave your vehicle. What I wanted to do was have a race where you jump off a mountain or big ramp, bale out and parachute to the end. So I made a couple of test races like this. I tested them in the creator (driving to the end because you can't bale out). Then I tried playing them properly. The first run of them is OK. But if I restart the job on the 2nd and any further re-runs there is no parachute. I jumped off my bike and just fell to the ground. So I went back to the creator and put some parachutes along the course. Tried again, as I drive through a parachute there's a message saying…

I want to mention this as it can be quite frustrating. When placing dynamic props, and trying to move or delete the prop I sometimes get in a props category called just <> instead of <Dynamic>. Once this has happened, even if i manage to get back and create without any issues, it messes things up. The thing i noticed several times is that after this has happened when i run a test i will not get back to the creator. Once i exit the test i get a black screen and a loading circle down in the corner. This last forever and i have to end application (GTA) in order to use the ps4. If this is done before saving a creation you have lost everything.

Preferred air race type (poll)

Just a quick poll as I have some air races in mind, but I also know most of my air races are a bit more complex than most which requires CP's to be placed in areas where respawning is difficult (don't crash right?). I putting this poll up to see what is preferred, you can't get better keeping them simple is my thoughts, but I also don't want to make something people hate because the respawns are tough. Vote, or post your thoughts

How do you read CPs while racing?

- 1.3k views
Here is a very handy guide for those that haven't made many races or would like to compare how they make their tracks. It is pinned on this site but I'm sure it doesn't get read much. http://www.domesticbatterygta.com/topic/1127-guide-to-checkpoint-placement/ My question is, how do you read a CP during a race that you haven't done before? Do you use it as a rough guide of where to go and use the map to tell you the road or do you just generally know the area? A lot of creators struggle with objectively viewing their race because they know the track and expect others to just know it. G, Snacks and I have been talking and giving feedback to each other's tracks and it has…

Our PS4 attendance list has been growing in numbers the past couple of weeks. Yay! There are a few playlist hosts bumping their attendee lists to 20 players. What's that mean? We need jobs that hold more than 16 players. A majority of you already create jobs that can hold 20+ people. Awesome! Make sure your tags are correct so hosts are able to find your jobs easier.

Operation Mincemeat (2021) dir John Madden A WWII film focussing the efforts of British intelligence to trick Germany into thinking an upcoming major operation was going to happen somewhere else, so that they diverted defending forces away from the actual location. The basics are a true story. The characters are mainly the real people who were involved. It has a great ensemble cast. The main characters are two officers working for MI5, one from the navy and one from the air force, played by Colin Firth and Matthew McFadden, with Kelly MacDonald and Penelope Wilton playing their civilian assistants. It also features Johnny Flynn as the young Lt. Ian Fleming who narrates some scenes in a style that could well have been passages from his James Bond novels. You could, at a big stretch, almost class this as Bond film since it features characters referred to as M (head of MI5, Jason Issacs) and Q-branch (the gadget inventor, James Fleet). Simon Russel Beale also puts in a great performance as Winston Churchill. I have heard of Operation Mincemeat, knew the basics of it, that Ian Fleming was involved and what the outcome was. I don't think it's a spoiler to say the plan worked, as various characters in the film say that if it doesn't the allies won't win the war. The plan was to take the body of recently deceased man, a Welshman living rough in London called Glyndwr Michael, dress him in an officer's uniform, attach a brief case containing fake, but apparently top-secret documents, and then release it from a submarine such that it would wash up on a Spanish beach. Spain was neutral in WWII but under the regime of the Fascist, pro-n*zi, General Franco. So British intelligence knew that the contents of the brief case should find their way into the hands of German agents, before being returned to Britain, and thus the fake information would find it's way to Berlin. The operation they were planning for was the allied invasion of Italy, then Germany's ally. The fake information was one part of bigger plan to convince the Germans it was occupied Greece that was going to be invaded. The subsequent invasion of Italy is one of the lesser known parts of the war. Much is made, quite rightly, of the D-day landings, but that was not the first invasion of German controlled Europe, it was this invasion of Italy, nearly a year earlier. So it's nice to see a film about this aspect of the war, because there aren't very many of them. The film shows the meticulous level of detail the agents went to, creating a whole fake identity, Major William Martin, along with personal letters, a photo of a fiancé, etc. The plot does come across somewhat unbelievable at times and includes a completely unnecessary romantic sub-plot. Even if some of that is what actually happened, the way the films portrays this comes across as if the producers wanted to “s*x it up” and add these elements in because they thought the story of the planning and execution of the operation was not interesting enough. I was all set to give this a lower score than I did, but the last 30 mins or so redeemed it a little. What I found really interesting was, after the the plan had been put into action, the role British diplomats in Spain then had to play to make sure that the brief case of fake documents did indeed end up in German hands. Because after all the detailed and careful planning, it could have easily been undone by a Spanish official simply handing the brief case straight back to Britain, as was technically the correct thing for a neutral country to do, but not what they were supposed to do according to the pro-German Fascist regime in charge. There's almost none of the action you usually get in war films, until right at the end when we see an American infantry sergeant, a minor character introduced earlier, on board a landing craft, storming a Sicilian beach which was taken and held with relatively light causalities. All due to the success of Operation Mincemeat diverting German forces hundreds of miles away. 6 / 10- 2

What I Watched This Week #179 (June 2-8) Escape from Alcatraz dir. Don Siegel/1979/1h53m Clint Eastwood stars in this prison break drama based on the true story of the only man to escape from the famous prison island off the San Francisco coast, Frank Morris. This film takes its time, much like Eastwood's performance style it's understated, deliberate and measured, with none of the melodrama of something like The Shawshank Redemption. The plot is simple, Eastwood arrives at the prison, spends some time scoping it out, then enacts his plan. It's the little things that give weight to this film, particularly the character of Doc (Roberts Blossom), who quietly represents the unshakeable human yearning for freedom with his portraits and the symbolic use of chrysanthemums. At times the pace of the film does undercut some of the urgency of the escape attempt, but I did like the ambiguous ending that doesn't tell you what happened to Frank after he got past the prison walls. 7.5/10 Rhinestone dir. Bob Clark/1984/1h51m I was scrolling through Sylvester Stallone's filmography and came across this, and knew that I had to watch it just to make sure that it's real. Rhinestone stars Dolly Parton as aspiring singer Jake who needs to get out of her crummy contract at the titular New York country music club. To do this she makes a bet with the manager, Freddie (Ron Leibman), that she can turn anyone into a country singer. The person chosen is tone deaf cab driver Nick, played by Stallone. To do this she takes him back home to Tennessee for some real country experience. Stallone also co-wrote this based on the song Rhinestone Cowboy. Really, it even says so in the opening credits. This whole thing is like a fever dream, especially the scenes where Stallone sings by howling like a demented gibbon. He plays his role like an overactive child with attention issues. Parton is just as sweet and charming as she always is, and the moments when she gets to sing are obviously excellent. I also liked Richard Farnsworth as Parton's father. This is not a good film, but it is a bizarre film, and it has its charms. 6/10 The Hustler dir. Robert Rossen/1961/2h14m Paul Newman stars in his iconic role of pool hustler Fast Eddie Felson who is on the fast track to self destruction as he becomes obsessed with beating the best pool player in the world, Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). This is a film in three distinct acts. The first and third are Felson's showdowns with Fats which bookend a tragic romance between Felson and Sarah (Piper Laurie), a depressed alcoholic. This is a bleak film about addicts and losers, yet there is beauty in the direction that makes this world of smoky pool halls cool and alluring. It also helps that Newman is incredibly handsome. The two pool games between Eddie and Fats are the showpieces here and are given the attention they deserve, with Eddie losing even when he wins, that's just the kind of man he is. Gleason is great as Eddie's opposite, someone totally calm and in control of their emotions. Laurie is heart breaking as Sarah, with only one inevitable outcome for her. Rounding out the main cast is George C. Scott as Bert, the sleazy and manipulative pool hall owner. As a standalone film this is excellent, but wouldn't it be good if we caught up with Eddie let's say twenty five years later? 9/10 Lime's Co-Film of the Week! The Color of Money dir. Martin Scorsese/1986/1h59m Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money catches up with Fast Eddie Felson (a returning Paul Newman) twenty five years after the events of The Hustler. He's now making a decent living off of whiskey, but when a hotshot young pool player, Vince (Tom Cruise), catches his eye he wants back in the hustling game. Without the context of The Hustler this is still a fantastic film full of Scorsese's trademark moves, but with the added history of the character a whole new tragic dimension is added. Eddie is a man full of regrets, so when he sees a chance to recapture his glory days he'll do anything he can to grab it, his old instincts kicking in almost instantly. He's there to use Vince, and he's open about it. But Vince is no d*mmy, even though he may act like it, and with his more emotionally mature girlfriend Carmen (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) he may end up teaching Eddie a thing or two. This has a much different vibe to the previous film, very fitting for the time it was made, and the pool scenes are edited violently by Scorsese's long time editor Thelma Schoonmaker, almost like they're fight scenes. This is a Scorsese film I've not seen before, and didn't really have any interest in before watching The Hustler, but I think this is one of his best works of the decade, only The King of Comedy is better in my opinion. Combined with The Hustler this is an epic, four hour rise and fall and rise and fall and maybe rise again story that spans decades. And it all ends on a high note with a brilliant one liner and a classic Scorsese freeze frame. 9/10 Lime's Co-Film of the Week! Bottom: Exposed dir. Adrian Edmondson/2024/1h30m This made for TV documentary covers the creation, production, reception and legacy of one of my all time favourite shows, Bottom. Written and performed by the late, great (he said so himself) Rik Mayall (seriously, his autobiography is called Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ) and Adrian Edmondson (director of this documentary), Bottom was a BBC comedy that ran for three series in the 90's and was violently crude, obscene, anarchic, absurd and offensive, and one of the funniest things I've ever seen, with slapstick fight scenes that would make Chaplin blush and a sound effects guy straight out of the Looney Tunes. The documentary itself is fine if very standard, featuring interviews with cast, crew and fans, but the real gold is when Edmondson is talking about Mayall, the two being lifelong friends since university. It gets quite emotional at points, which Mayall would have f*cking hated. One of my favourite memories is going to see the Bottom live show with my dad in 2003, their last of five live tours, and even though it's the worst of the five (my favourite is split between 2 and 3), it was amazing being so close to such raw, unfiltered energy. If you've never seen Bottom before, watch it, because the main thing I took from this documentary and seeing all the clips from the show, is that it's been too long since I've seen it. 7/10 La Cage aux Folles dir. Edouard Molinaro/1978/1h32m This French comedy stars Ugo Tognazzi as Renato Baldi, owner of drag club La Cage aux Folles, with Michel Serrault playing Albin, aka Zaza, his partner and star performer. When Renato's son Laurent (Remi Laurent), who the couple have raised since he was a baby, comes home he has some big news. He's getting married. But unfortunately the parents of his girlfriend are in politics, on the conservative side. The very conservative side. So he asks his father and Albin to tone things down a bit while they are visiting. I think this film has aged pretty well considering it was made in the 70's, and while it does rely heavily on stereotypes it never comes across as mean spirited. Tognazzi is good in the lead role, being pulled between his partner, his son and his own identity, with Serrault stealing every scene he's in as a flighty drag queen. The highlight of the film is the climactic dinner party between the two sets of parents with Albin showing some real depth and character here. A little dated but still with a pure heart, I can't wait to compare it with the American remake (see next review). 8/10 The Birdcage dir. Mike Nichols/1996/1h59m Robin Williams and Nathan Lane star as drag club owner Armand Goldman and his partner and star performer Albert in this American remake of La Cage aux Folles. The plot remains basically unchanged from the French original, just with some extra time to let Williams and Lane shine. Considering he's playing a gay drag club owner Williams gives a fairly understated performance, with really only one instance of that classic over the top exuberance. All of that is left to Lane, who is hilarious here. My only real problem with this film, same as the original though I didn't mention it in my review, is that their son, Val (Dan Futterman), is an unappreciative *sshole. Thankfully that doesn't take too much away from this, and the presence of Gene Hackman as republican senator Kevin Keeley, his future father in law, really alleviates this, with him getting to exercise his comedy muscles (and he looks great in drag). This is a slice of fabulous fun and, thanks to the lead duo of Williams and Lane, is better than the original. 9/10- 2
