Rockstar resetting SVG crew emblems

[Furry_Monkey]

 

I never used SVG crew emblems, but at least they haven't reset the Black Crew Color.

 

 

They haven't? Whenever I try it gives me 'ERROR'

 

 

You can't have 0 for all 3 RGB values - just have 1 for one of them. Go to the "manage crew" page and copy/pasta this into the address bar of your browser...

javascript:$("#createCrewFormColor, #crewColor").val("#000001");

Some browsers will strip the leading javascript: so make sure it's there. Once you've done that, save the crew and refresh the page to see your nice new black colour

I never understood why they didn't just have an upload service and let us make our own emblems.

Because of copyright issues.

Uploading an image that is protected by a copyright is illegal, and they would be getting cease and desist letters as often as youtube does.

 

Then how does Forza get away with letting people put copyrighted images on their cars?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am not sure how many of you have actually played Forza and used their editor, but you cannot upload images. All of the artwork used in Forza was created by an editor very similiar to the one used by rockstar. Forza just has way more shapes to use.

This car below I created on Forza.. It has almost 1500 shapes used to create the final product. Everything from the names to the custom flames were made with arches, circles, squares and triangles..

 

 

 

And text is possible on the Rockstar emblem creator.. It is just a time consuming process.. This emblem took me over an hour to make and it is a very simple design..

Probably, because, you know... we aren't allowed any individuality or creativity.

Everyone must drive a chrome entity with cheetah shorts and pogo monkey mask.

Sorry to be a dick, but copying and pasting an image is the least creative thing you can do. If you want individuality and creativity, use the emblem creator to make your own design, don't rip off someone else's.

 

 

Except that the majority who used SVG's spent hours / days developing them in Photoshop

 

sure there's some blatant cut and paste of copyright / ponographic material, R* is just too lazy to sort the former from the latter

 

lol I highly doubt someone takes days/hours making some of the SVG poorly done crap that gets posted on here, most of these emblems require basic photoshop skills at best and should only take like 30 minutes. And the entire idea of creativity is usually thrown right out the window with the majority of them.

Does anyone know if there's any trick to get a larger version of your emblem exported from the creator?

 

Currently I'm just right-clicking the emblem in the Social Club news feed and saving as, which gives me this size -

 

 

But surely with it being vector based, there must be a way to get a larger/uncompressed version of it?

I made a post yesterday about how my crews custom SVG phoenix emblem is still in social club and in order to maintain that emblem i had to demote members so that only i have the ability to modify the crew emblem. I didn't want to have to resort to that but if someone changed the emblem, we wouldn't be able to change it back. I suggest other crew leaders with large crews do the same as it would be a shame if a crew member uploaded his own emblem and changed the crew to it and then you couldn't change back to the proper emblem.

I converted it to 10000x10000 for you, Just resize accordingly. I did convert it .SVG initially, but it kept losing quality after I saved it, which I could do nothing about.

It may look off in a few places, but that's due to the emblem, you just see them more when it's a larger file, so you may want to edit it in photoshop.

Edit: Tinypic resized it...couldn't find anywhere that allowed a 10000x10000 image with a 4.85MB size, I had to upload it to Google skydrive.

Edit: Here's a better link, google drive is a mindf*ck

That's brilliant, thank you!

 

Would you mind sharing your method? Our emblem periodically gets retouched and we have a couple of alternative ones so it would be good if I could get my hands on larger versions myself.

I use a program called vector magic, it converts it to a vector, but you can also convert it into a high quality .PNG or .BMP.

 

Also, tinypic rescalled the image. Use this one http://i.cubeupload.com/rgXVtN.png

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted. I'll check out Vector Magic.

I don't know if you realize but you cannot upload images in the R* editor either

what you could do was use a 3rd party program to create or convert an image to vector and paste the code into the R* editor which was also vector based (which is why the trick worked)

 

I don't see the difference between creating a vector in illustrator for the game or using R* editor to do the same.

well besides the obvious advantages of illustrator over R*'s clumsy editor

Does this mean emblems like the Jurassic Park one will be removed?

lol, you just wrote individual and creative in regards to copying copyrighted material. I'm pretty sure being original isn't a big deal. lol
