Crew Colour Editor

[JRebbert512 2,175]

 

No problemo, will do.

 

Thanks again!

 

I'm afraid you can stop watching. What I'm doing is proving more difficult than anticipated, and I should have known better (knowing how scrappy the Rockstar developers are).

 

I was trying to make it so that whatever colour you choose is what you actually see in the game. We know that the colours change from your crew page to vehicles, and I was trying to work out how to calculate that in reverse, therefore forcing the in-game colours to be what you actually select in the editor.

 

I've not given up, but the results I'm getting so far are so erratic that it's difficult to narrow it down to a pattern, and therefore a usable formula. I don't give up easily though

Have you tried consulting with Zanthera on this issue? He runs the Kustom Crew Color request thread in the Vehicles forum, it's usually on the first or second page. You probably already know the thread and who I mean, I'm just explaining to make sure. Anyway, if you haven't discussed this with him already, I'm sure he could offer some insight into adjusting colors from the intended RGB to the way the game actually displays them.

I'm having an issue where it randomizes what color I get. I put in a blue, it gives me bright green. Stuff like that.

When you say you "put in a blue", can you tell me exactly what you're doing, and does it do the same thing every time?

How do I access? The url brings me nowhere?

When I enter the entire code, it doesn't work. I'm using Chrome.

If you're talking about the JavaScript code, then you need to bookmark any webpage, then edit the bookmark and change the URL to the code.

 

Example:

 

From there, just follow the steps from the OP.

 

If you're referring to the hex code, then you shouldn't add any endings to the code (e.g. AA, FF, 00).

Furry_Monkey you are the man. If you Iived close to me I'd give you $20 to get a half and half from the local methed out strippers ant the low class strip clubs to show my appreciation.

 

I only had a few custom crew colors because it was a hassle to do but now with this script it's easy breezy and I spent about $500,000 GTA dollars on custom paint jobs last night.

Wow, I can't believe I hadn't seen this yet. Thank you so much; you have just saved me heaps of time and effort as I only use custom crew colours for my cars. It was a bit of a pain in the arse doing it the old way, so I cannot thank you enough for this!

 

This is definitely a must for anyone who is serious about custom crew colours.

 

Thanks again!

Not working for me from today, yesterday all were fine, now the window didn't appear, tried on Chrome, Opera, IE, didn't work anywhere. Please help to fix this problem.

[Furry_Monkey 20,514]

I'm on it. Rockstar have made another change to their site and that's removed some functionality that I previously required. I've made the changes to fix it and will update in a few minutes.

[Furry_Monkey 20,514]

Okay, I've fixed the script and also had to update the bookmark code, so as of today anyone using this will have to go back to the first post and copy & paste the bookmark again.

 

If there are any problems then give me a shout

Haven't tried it yet, but anyway I would like to say good work Furry. Fast service and it's appreciated

 

Edit: haven't tried it yet after you updated it, have used it before

Did you update the bookmark since I fixed it?

Yes I updated it after you posted that we need to update it. I don't know much about how this kind of things work, but to me it seem like it only tries one combination and then stops, if that makes any sense. Iirc it said above where you pick colour: trying combination 1/32 or something like that

 

Edit: I was able to put the AA in the ending the with inspect element method

I'm getting the same result. I suspect they've put some validation on the server to stop this working, but I'll have to investigate more before I know for sure.

 

Edit: Okay, forget that. Doing it manually does save the changes. I just need to figure out what they've done as it's broken (or purposely stopped) what I was doing to force the save retries. I'll post an update when I've got something.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did something to stop it.. Hopefully there is a workaround

[kenmy13999 19,476]

When I read posts on our crew page and click view more, then all comments dissappear. Probably not related to the issue here, but I mention it anyway

They've made some major changes to the Social Club which have had a knock-on effect to any "3rd party tools"

 

In short, there's a way to determine whether a human clicked the save button, or whether it was called from code. The changes they put in place look to have utilised this facility, but as to whether it was on purpose or not is debatable. It could simply be a site-wide security check as it's often used to stop software (bots) that spam sites to hack logins or automate mass registrations etc.. It's most likely that, but it had the effect of stopping my code working after the first button click.

 

So, because I can't (currently) click the button for you, if the colour doesn't save then the message tells you to try again. You'll see what I mean. You just keep clicking until it saves, which isn't usually that many attempts.

 

Hopefully I'll be able to implement a fix that gets it back to a fully automated process in the future, but for now it at least works.

 

Thanks for the heads-up

Thanks for looking into this; the bookmark has been invaluable to me lately. Again, I really appreciate all of the effort and what went into making this happen.

No worries - I enjoy doing it and it's great to see people finding it useful. Thanks for your feedback

[kenmy13999 19,476]

Thanks alot Furry, I'll check it as soon as I have time after work

[sjcgtav 4]

I'm a huge fan of all the work that Furry_Monkey has done here. And I am obsessed with colors!

 

Glad to see there is still a workaround available for this silly limitation R* has put in place.

 

If anyone on 360 would like any RGB applied to their car by me (free), and I can also add pearlescent and extra shine beyond what the game normally allows,

 

contact me:

Kik: Pinkmods

 

Kik is an app for your smartphone or tablet. I am not always there so please send a message that you are interested in colors, and wait patiently for a reply.

 

It amazes me what things Rockstar invests time into "stopping" while they do nothing for three years to stop the game-ruining exploits.

One thing that keeps bothering me is how big of a difference does the letters on the hex code do, as with your excellent program 283D57FF become 283D57. Does it alter anything in how the color will appear ingame?

Here's a brief explanation.

 

Colours (in this instance) are being represented by a red value, a green value and a blue value. Each of those values can range from 0 to 255, which is 00 and FF in hexadecimal. So, an RGB colour can be represented by a 6 character hex string. The last 2 characters (can be just 1) represent the alpha level - the amount of opacity. So if you add FF to the end of a colour it's solid, but if you add 00 it's completely transparent. However, the transparency level does not affect the colour in the game, and is literally ignored.

 

Rockstar are dumb. They say "#000000 can't be saved as that's a bad colour!" but they accept "#000000FF" because it fools their child-like validation, even though they're exactly the same colour in the game.

 

I hope that clears it up for you

Anyone know what the hex code for the orange chino pants are?

[sleepwalk1980 2,030]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I copy/paste that line of code where?

Into a new browser window, tried that and bookmarked it, nothing happens.

The easiest way is to make a new bookmark of any old page and then edit it. Change the name to something suitable and paste that code into the address field.

[SilkRiver2648 301]

I cannot find out how to make the address bar pop up with the custom crew colour editor window so I can enter my selected image's URL address. I'm using windows 10. I'm not tech savvy either Thanks

Have you got the bookmark working so you see the dialog box at all?
