Dr_Geo: Latest Alternate Mondays event catagory is up HERE get submitting on the linked subs thread and see you there! Jul 24, 2024 23:03:18 GMT

NerfThis_97: Hi, it has been since forever to get back. Well, I'm not back back.. just checking how everyone is doing Jul 31, 2024 11:04:55 GMT

NerfThis_97: I miss my old days while I was actively playing this game nonstop but unfortunately I find myself too invested in the game Jul 31, 2024 11:05:45 GMT

NerfThis_97: I wish I can manage my priorities to play at least few times a month but I'm playing too many games + life, to be able to get back Jul 31, 2024 11:08:22 GMT

NerfThis_97: nevertheless, I will try to join VQ if I ever get the chance to Jul 31, 2024 11:09:13 GMT

agrajag: Hey NerfThis_97 good to see you around! VQ hasn't run in quite some time sadly but you'll of course be very welcome to join any of our other events. Still daily pretty much. Aug 1, 2024 13:52:25 GMT

NerfThis_97: So sad to hear VQ isn't running anymore. Any other even with similar concept? Such as LTS, Captures, and other themed gamemodes? Aug 6, 2024 7:04:41 GMT

agrajag: Smooth Killing (kind of) includes 4 combat and 2 objective based jobs each week. Captures aren't really created anymore and LTS have been partially replaced by Deathmatches allowing limited lives and many other modifier settings now. Aug 6, 2024 19:56:17 GMT

NerfThis_97: sounds intriguing, I will make sure to drop by when I get the chance. Aug 7, 2024 7:07:22 GMT

DeceptiveSmoke: Oh hello, I'm back.. Aug 17, 2024 8:51:40 GMT

agrajag: Hey "Back" ::bye:: (Good to see you DeceptiveSmoke! Been a while) Aug 21, 2024 18:30:25 GMT

nafiii: I wanna get a windturbine in creator mode so i can make a sumo race for online. How do i add/get the wind turbine prop? as its not listed as one in creator mode. Sept 2, 2024 20:42:41 GMT

nafiii: This is for PC btw Sept 2, 2024 20:42:54 GMT

agrajag: The Windturbine is blacklisted now so any new (or existing) jobs with it in won't be able to be published. If you're looking for more freedom on PC FiveM will probably (maybe anyway) offer more freedom but no aware of any good creator servers. Sept 4, 2024 20:19:46 GMT

Dr_Geo: Hey all, the latest Alternate Mondays theme is up ready for tomorrow, get submitting anything you have if you can via the subs thread or pm me Sept 22, 2024 20:50:18 GMT

Dr_Geo: Alternate Mondays - Master of Land Sea Edition tomorrow! jobs deffo appreciated Oct 20, 2024 21:32:14 GMT

Dr_Geo: Guess what? Another Dr Geo's Alternate Mondays 2024 update! Monday will be a best of 2024 compilation list so that December can host a best of 2024 Monster Truckin' Mayhem! Nov 14, 2024 22:41:34 GMT

ganz77: I just read that above about windturbine. DOes that mean older jobs are ruined also? I have a few jobs that use the turbines? Nov 20, 2024 2:19:55 GMT

agrajag: No old jobs are fine (you just won't be able to update them). The only exception is if you updated during a 2 week (ish) period when Rockstar changed them into blue barriers. Nov 20, 2024 15:14:28 GMT

Guide to Joining/Hosting XB1 events Mar 1, 2016 16:57:08 GMT

Post by Admin on Mar 1, 2016 16:57:08 GMT

Event Settings for Hosts & Attendees

Go to Start > Online > Options in game
Allow Spectate: Yes - People can rejoin the event you are in by spectating you.
Matchmaking: Closed - Avoids the time limit when inviting players to event playlists. Helps lock the event to our crew, too.
Make sure to leave the Client Invites: on!

JOINING XB1 EVENTS

How to join any GCCC XB1 Event

Make sure GCCC is your Active Crew
Be online and on time - check the countdown clock in the Event Edition topic.
Add the event host to your Friends
Check your phone for Job Invites and your Received Messages for a GTA Session Invite from the event host. You might get job invites from other people in the lobby, due to GTA's invite system
If you're late we highly recommend you join a "invite only" session (you join sessions quicker from here).

Please give feedback while the event is running!

Use your mic, the GCCC Social Club page, the Event Edition Topic or the Event Review Topic!

Take group photos using Snapmatic and tag them #GCCC and check out if the event has an Event Tag.

Connection issues

Connection issues still plague GTA online and GTA's servers are notorious for being unreliable at best. However there's still a few good guides out there to rule out any issues at your end:

Rockstar Support - A short guide explaining the minimum recommended requirements for GTA online, NAT types and router settings.
Fixing Lag issues/Connection Timeouts created by mo-seph. In depth guide explaining lag and some possible solutions to attempt.

Joining a Pre-Event Freemode Session

Find out who is hosting the session by looking on social club for details.
This will usually be the host of the main event
If the pre-event session gets full, the host of Lobby 2 might start another one which you can try to join
Start > Online > Crews > My Crews > Content Creators XB1 > View Members or Start > Friends
Scroll to the host of the Freemode session
Press X and choose Join Game

Hosting Your Job in a 'Round the Room' Event (Anyone)

Decide what you'll play before you join the event.
Invite All From Last Job (Keeps the room together)
Invite All Crew Members
Invite From Crew Members and individually add each one, even if it already says invited. (jager1381)

HOSTING XB1 EVENTS - BEFORE YOU HOST

IMPORTANT: Requirements for any GCCC event

In order to host an event you need to be a lieutenant (or above), have a lieutenant (or above) co-host or be "sponsored" by a lieutenant (or above). posts should be regular, as should the event itself - failure to do this (or any of the below points) means the event can be pulled from the calendar on a 3 strikes and you're out policy.
Modded jobs should be excluded from events (but can be played after).
It is your responsibility to uphold the crew rules and make sure any banned members are excluded from events (banned player list)
The forum post should contain the list of jobs played, a poll for the event and basic information about the event (host, how to join, how to submit jobs)
Attendee lists should be produced after events, primarily so we can promote regular event attendees. Any host without help/ co-host will be dealt with less harshly for this though.
(Ideally) Reviews should be produced to provide constructive feedback to creators as well as any streams so creators unable to attend can still benefit from their jobs being played.

Formulate a plan

If you're a little unsure on the format of the event or any details ask for feedback in the XB1 chat section. This is also a good place to ask for a co-host, event hosting is a hands-on experience so the more help you can get the easier and more enjoyable you'll likely find it.
Make sure there's space for your event within the XB1 Calendar.
In order to get your event added to the XB1 calender contact the calendar admin listed within the XB1 Calendar page.

Create an Event Edition Topic (example)

TOPIC

Event Title - Event Edition Number - Date & Time. Make sure you note the timezone, using your timezone or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
Example: Event #1 - Tue April 7th, 10pm BST (UTC +1)
Use the time converter to convert your time zone to UTC if you want.

TOPIC CONTENT

Add a Poll to your topic with the job titles +/ creator (first button next to Subject text field). Best to set a maximum of votes (top 3 preferred). And a date when the poll closes (f.e. one week after the event took place)
You could create some images and a banner to 'advertise' your event and include them to the topic.
Add a countdown clock (find out how), or do it the old-fashioned way.
Post a link to the Event Edition Topics by using Advanced Search: Open the Search tab at the top of this page, enter Event name in "What to search..." and "XB1 Events" board in "Where to search...", then copy the page link.
Post a link to the Event Submission Topic (info below)
Post a link to the Event Review Topic (info below)
Post some info about the event
Post your Event Tags.
Post a list of the jobs that will be played in this event. Job Type (use smileys) - Job Name - Job Creator - Job Link
Add a list of Event Attendees
Credit the people that helped you set it up
Add a list of previous Event Editions
Add a link to the joining guide (what you're now reading) so people know how to join your event

Create an Event Submission Topic (example)

You only have to create one submission topic for the event. Submissions should be flowing in there weekly.
Create a topic in the XB1 Share section with title: Event Name - Submissions (f.e. Event Submissions) or [Event Criteria] Event Name - Submissions (f.e. [30 player races] Raceday Wednesday Submissions)
Post a link to the Event Edition Topics by using Advanced Search: Open the Search tab at the top of this page, enter Event name in "What to search..." and "XB1 Events" board in "Where to search...", then copy the page link.
Post a link to the Event Review Topic (info below)
Post some info about the event, in particular the submission rules for the event.
Post your Event Tags.

Create an Event Review Topic (Optional) (example)

You only have to create one review topic for the event. Reviews will be posted after the event.
Create a topic in the XB1 Review section with title: Event Name - Reviews (f.e. Killing Time Reviews)
Post a link to the Event Edition Topics by using Advanced Search: Open the Search tab at the top of this page, enter Event name in "What to search..." and "XB1 Events" board in "Where to search...", then copy the page link.
Post a link to the Event Submission Topic
Post some info about the event
Post your Event Tags.

When the event finishes, add the best photo to this first message so it looks totally boss when people come back to find highlights.

HOSTING XB1 EVENTS - HOSTING DUTIES

Gathering players

Commissioners only: Change the crew status on the crew wall
Commissioners only: Advertise the event through crew message e.g. 4 hours to go until Event hosted by X, add X to your friends to make sure you get invite. Don't be afraid to advertise your event about once every hour.
Create a pre-event lobby to gather players. Story Mode, Start button > Online > Play GTA Online > Closed Crew Session
Optional: You may find that people can join it much easier to (re)join you if you start the playlists from a public session, and have less gameplay bugs if you host racing events from a free-aim lobby.
Keep the event flowing as much as possible, a 2 minute gap between playlists is always nice but try to keep the jobs flowing as much as you can.

Hosting a 'Round the Room' Event (Host)

You will be the ringmaster of what can turn into a circus! Players take turns, each hosting one of their jobs.
Create a safe Freemode before the event: Story Mode, Start button > Online > Play GTA Online > Closed Crew Session
Invite crew members into the Freemode. Start > Online > Crews > My Crews > GTA Content Creators > View Members or Start > Friends. Click X on the person to invite and then send a game invite.
Write down who joins. This is the order they will host their job.

HOSTING XB1 EVENTS - AFTER EVENT

Your job isn't over yet, add some constructive reviews for your event, a event write-up and snapmatics taken during the event if you have time to your event/ review topic.

If you decide you don't want to host a event again, or change it's time, day or host make sure you let the calendar admin, listed within the XB1 calender page, know.
