What?
As many of you are aware the last major update (cunning stunts), while being amazing introduced a wide array of new bugs while leaving combat creators rather left out of the party. We'd like to ask for your support in order to bring these issues to
's attention in a polite non-spammy way (no flooding support this time 
) in the hope that the issues can be fixed soon.When?
31st August (all day) to coincide with our largest event, Raceday Wednesday, in order to garner as much support for the initiative as possible. Masks should worn, emails sent and support tickets upvoted all on the same day.
How?
- Wear the mime face masks (buy from the Vespucci mask shop, 1st mask down under characters) and use the #CreatorsUnite and #FixTheCreator tag for the snapmatics created.
- Please advertise and support this as much as possible! Upvote Stronktank's post on
support site, post on Youtube and tell your friends about it on social club. - Instead of flooding the support site as we do before send a email to support. (It was fun, got attention but did tell us to send further ideas to their email instead. I feel it's important, despite how frustrating it is, that our message to is "Help us" rather than any anti- message.) Send the following email to GTAOnline@rockstargames.com
Dearest Rockstar Development Team,
I am a member of the GTA V Online Creator Community.
The content creator is a incredible tool and we are hugely grateful, that after previous communications, the 1.35 cunning stunts made huge strides forward for the next-gen race creator; particularly with the huge array of new props, advanced tools and tons of new options allowing us to unleash our creativity like never before. However we are left frustrated at the lack of support for similar tools in the combat creator and disappointed by a few niggling bugs introduced during the last few updates. We feel like artists given watery (albeit hugely impressive) paint that can only be used on particular canvases.
In particular we'd love to see the new creator options (advanced placement, ability to change colours of props, snapping, extra props) added to non-land race creators with the ability to precisely align props in a similar way to the stunt props; so that props dropping down, and templates pushing up, when placed is removed. The removal of the workaround for props dropping down (change rotation type from World Heading) and new template bug were introduced in the 1.34 update are hugely frustrating when attempting to create precise structures.
We'd also hugely appreciate adding new options to unleash the potential of the combat creator. The ability for creators to set team outfits for all combat modes, setting to a forced weapon SET rather than just 1 weapon while advanced options for forced ammo & pickups (respawn time, amount of ammo provided, attachments included) and vehicle placements (lock all doors, bulletproof tyres, respawn toggles) would allow creators to create immersive advanced tactical battles making full use of the large array of tools already provided. Extra blip options for each team (always show, always hide, show near, show far) for creator's to set per team and allowing forced + pickup style GTA races would open up the combat creators to a range of new possibilities while any addition of new combat related props (e.g. pre-cut tunnels, cover arrangements, buildings) would elevate the combat creators to the same level of the new stunt creator (a lot to live up to!)
Lastly, as you've given some indication to already, we hope niggling bugs with the new stunt creator can soon be fixed (spinning props, frequent crashes particularly when testing 2nd routes, templates not retaining colour choices, breakage of locking vehicle choice to one vehicle) along with newly introduced bugs in the capture creator (cycling through actor relationships leading to re-loading the job deleting all progress and the removal of highlighted icon blips for team specific capture objects). We'd also like to suggest allowing creators to choose if their races are categorised as a stunt or land race and also if their stunt creations can be played in GTA, Standard or non-contact through toggles (similar to how vehicles can be locked out at the moment) rather than forcing the race into just one mode; both of which are very restrictive when attempting to target particular audiences.
Thanks for your time and your continued support of the content creator. We were blown away by the stunt creator options and would love to blow the minds of the GTA community by unleashing the full potential of these options in more gamemodes while also having more freedom to play the game how we want. For more bugs, suggestions and wishes please read our extensive wishlist: http://gccc.boards.net/thread/26/content-creator-bugs-suggestions-wishlist
Sincerely,
A passionate creator
PS. Fix the last-gen creator as stacking is still stuck disabled. A new toggle for stacking or reverting to the last fully working state would be a great way to thank the last-gen creators for their continuing support!
