Is this not a debate?  Isn't that the whole point of a debate? Or is that also "woke" also?

 

I responded to the receipts that were given to prove his premise.  If you have anything else better, show me. Where is the data? I will wait...

 

What does this have to do with anything? How does this prove whatever you are trying to say.  Make the connection...versus just throwing random stuff into the ether

BlackRock, through ESG system sends money to Rockstar if they hire progressive people, feminists, activists, politically correct type of folks and NOT prioritize competence, experience, talent, etc. The end result is a product that fans hate. The product then flops. Rockstar then blames the fans and other factors, then the process repeats until, they run out of money.

Blackrock is not sending money anymore according to Google because they notice it doesn't work. However, the people got hired, and they will continue to do damage until the company falls.

He is attacking every point you make @x17. It's a tactic they all do. He's ignoring the massive amounts of data proving your point and attacking what you say.

Even the guy at BlackRock admitted this ESG system, that's causing everything to turn woke, is losing them money.

Why are you @HDiddy and @Smoke in denial?

Plan and simple, you are bias. You think its all is 'woke'. That is a bad interpretation of looking at it. The game hasn't been delivered so it can 'properly' looked at and properly be 'criticized' and people have supposedly already digested it.

We can discuss this from different angles but at the end, there is no point as you already have labelled it as being 'woke'. The only sensible thinker is literally by me (I know, admin - what a surprise) - no its not no power flex but the fact that I tried to 'understand' your pov and you blatantly want me to fully accept it. You logic is just as flawed as to what you are critiquing.

Which bring us back to what I said in the very beginning,  'One thing that Rockstar tend to do right, is that they offend the idiots from both sides of the political spectrum.' Its a harsh reality pal.

I don't think it's all woke. It can be proven. Measure her face, her breasts, shoulders, etc and do the same for all recent AAA games, movies, comics. You start noticing a pattern. It's not a "me" problem when there is a mountain of evidence. Just google it if you're curious, it's everywhere. Google ESG, the cancer of all of this. Then you'll understand what I'm talking about. Even that guy, can't remember his name, at BlackRock talked about this for fuk sake.

You ever heard of Lara Croft in Tomb Raider? or Jill Valentine in Resident Evil? We have had female leads in video games for the past few decades not sure why you think all of a sudden GTA cannot decide to try something new.

In terms of banning a mod....as much as I don't think it is right, it is their game and their decision. We have that same example here with Team K17 removing the ability for anyone to mod the GUI.  Yes it is stupid, but what are you going to do? If you do not like a decision a company made speak with your dollars....versus raging out on Youtube.

They do not want you to have a choice?  Really?  Its a game my guy, a form of entertainment.  It is not being forced down your throat and you can simply ignore it or better off not buy it.  If you call "Pronouns" a form of Propaganda your in for a world of hurt.  It is just not that serious to be raging over.

Futa, trans, gay....boss lady? What? I don't even see the relationship to those items.  And again...you sound really silly every-time you say "Woke Propaganda" It is like you turned on your TV put it on Fox News and was like "Ok this is the new things enlightened Americans are saying, I am going to say it everywhere"  do you man.  I suggest you at least research the thing you keep saying, so you do not sound like a tool.

If you inject politics in a form of entertainment, what happens? It turns into propaganda.

Even the former president of USA said it: everything woke turns to shit.

I mean, I get that. I think its dumb. We were semi discussing this off site and at the end, the conclusion we all agreed on is that there is a vocal minority that will complain about it and demand exclusivity and more pronouns and what not. But even discussing that is another level and creates different finger pointing. My 2 cents, speak with you wallet. Don't support it lol. 

You missed my point again. It's not a small minority demanding anything. It's systematic, propaganda in all media over a very long period of time. Right now, you guys are like Neo in The Matrix. You have to see it with your own eyes, I can't tell you what it is.

I'm done with this topic, If you get it, you get it, if not, oh well. I'm not raging or anything like that:))

What propaganda?....sorry but I am not following where your going or your logic.  What exactly is the problem? Is the issue that main character is a female?

One of the issues is that the main character is female in an action game. We all know men are best suited for that role, but the giant that GTA is, decided a female is better. Sounds logical to you?

Why ban a mod that removes a feature in the game? How does that make any sense?

They don't want you to have a choice, that's the thing. They want you to see their "message". That's why it's called propaganda, and they are banning mods and people.

Futa, trans, gay, boss ladies that are made by other is not woke propaganda. They do not force it on people. BIG difference.

lol well add some context next time. Don't just say; You, the admins, force the creators to include in their comics gay, trans, bi, etc characters, or they get banned.

You should of said it like this; what if you or 1 of your fellow admins started forcing creators to include gay, futa tranny stuff and banned people who didn't follow. You would loose support.

One statement just sounds like a blatant false accusation and the other sounds like a what if.

Honestly dude; I feel like you are making a big deal out of it - you are complaining about corporate greed. And lets be real here, people are quick to sell out. I've been toying with this game for a long time and I've seen people start with some 'hetro' stuff but they really aren't getting big nor making that much money. The moment they start doing that tranny, futa, gay, bestiality, etc, their stocks goes to roof and they start making a couple of thousands every fortnight, they are hooked on that.

That's the thing, it's not about corporate greed. You're missing the point. The point is, they are injecting propaganda and recently it's very aggressive. It's so aggressive that the plot, main character, story, music, gameplay, etc suffers.

You think it's not a big deal, but it is to the fans.

You know what a relatable character is? Trans, gay, boss ladies are not relatable characters. You can't use them as main characters in a normal setting or your product won't sell to many people, even if it's good. They know this, that's why they use the same games/movies, but change the characters to female, trans.

So they stay. Who did we force?

If you, the admins, force the creators to include in their comics gay, trans, bi, etc characters, or they get banned... Better? I'm trying to make you imagine what it would look like if you did the same things they, the woke people, are doing.

16 minutes ago, Smoke said:

lol wait wait wait - we force people to include gay shit? Ummmm no we don't. The most we do is to try to be tolerable. If someone likes that gay futa stuff, ok - that is their kink - but don't try to force that don't people throat. Hell, we even added/and improved how we categorized stuff instead of grouping it together - we had some people complain, some wanting better structure, organization, etc. Some people don't want to see tits, some people want to dicks, some people want to see futa, etc. So us, banning someone just because we demanded gay stuff - that is a first - I probably missed the party.

Now I'm just curious - who did we ban and 'forced' to include so kind of gay shit, futa, bi, etc? Because who ever it was, clearly did not want to follow some simple guidelines and is taking you on a ride.

lol And are we not doing the same? I guess telling people to be organized is now woke.

no, I'm saying IF you start to force people.

5 minutes ago, Smoke said:

Does it even matter if people are rule34'ing it and giving them all penises and or making gay by doing that futa stuff? There is even that bestiality kink.

Yes, it matters a lot. I know there are some comics here on this forum with normal setting (no gay stuff). You, the admins, force the creators to include in their comics gay, trans, bi, etc characters, or they get banned. Do you think the fans those comics have will be happy? Do you think the creators will stay after you did that? Same thing will or has happened to GTA and all AAA studios.

rule34 has categories. You see what you like. These woke people don't even let you download mods to undo what they did.

Ok...

Well first off....lets all strike the word "woke" from this discussion because I doubt anyone here really knows what it really means outside of what mainstream media has turned it into. This will keep the conversations outside of the political realm.

That said...

I didn't ask about a whole bunch of other games I asked about GTA6 what specifically about what you see in 1:30 preview makes you think the models are manly. I'm not sure what your definition of "feminine" actually is, but I look at the preview and I see normal looking NPCs, which has always been the case for Rockstar.  I am not sure if you have ever been to Miami, but they pretty much nailed it. Lets get our mind out of the porn world where everyone we make is some model looking fat ass big titty and slim waist Amazon goddes.....in your case sometimes slinging a dick.

That is not the real world, and this game is supposed to emulate the real world.

You don't get it. It's not about making the models look Ai generated levels of pretty, it's about making them intentionally ugly, old, manly, androgynous (you can't tell if it's a guy or girl). They do this gradually. In the trailer most people, like you, won't notice because it's subtle. They will say, just like you, that the models look normal. When they release the game or after a patch they will change the models, reduce breast sizes, eliminate any female trait they can and so on.

In the first image you see before the trailer even starts, measure her mouth, then measure his mouth. Looks similar? If it's coincidence or incompetence or any other excuse you can come up with, why does this happen in almost all other games as well?

Did you see South Park?..."put a chick in it and make her lame and gay"? They were talking about movies, but it applies to games as well.

Here is the full trailer by the way

 

Your gonna have to show some examples my dude. Because not sure I see what you are talking about.

Horizon Forbidden West, Lara Croft, Fable, Mass Effect Andromeda, Last Of Us 2, Starfield, Cyberpunk and the list goes on and on. In some games, it's subtle, but in other it's clear as day. In the initial release the models may look ok, but after a few patches, they will look less feminine.

The outer worlds is a perfect example of what their goal is. Can you tell who is female and who is male? (second picture)

Cyberpunk failed on every level except the city and cars. The story is bad, AI bad, gunplay bad, UI bad, sound design and music bad. The bugs were never a problem. Just like you, I didn't notice the woke characters because it fits the punk theme, but if you look at the initial E3 female Vee and how she looks now, you will notice her jaw line and mouth changed.

In the past there was woke stuff too, even in the good games and movies, but now even the main character gets replaced by the message.

try and increase shadow bias for that light.

Don't get me wrong. I do think that 'wokeness' tends to ruin a beloved IP. But I fail to see anything woke about GTA6. Its a Bonnie and Clyde story that people wanted to see. One thing that Rockstar tend to do right, is that they offend the idiots from both sides of the political spectrum. 

it's not Bonnie and Clyde story, that's just bait. You don't notice how all these females models are manly looking? Her in that leading role is a red flag. The talented guys have left. Expect mediocre GTA at best. I'm curious if they finish the most important part, the AI. In Cyberpunk, they didn't, the AI programmers all quit:)))

From my understanding this hack is kinda pointless.

Let say you have 25 FPS in game. The game will play animation 25 keyframes per second. So 1 keyframe will take 1 FPS. You slow down the app by 2. Yes you'll have 50FPS display but the game will play 12.5 keyframes per second. So each 4 displayed frames will be identical.

Maybe I'm missing something but what's the point?

The point is less slideshow and more fluidity. Why don't try it? It's a small program, takes a few clicks.

It runs on openGL without Hook and with Hook installed, but with Hook it runs without Hook functioning.

The game without Hook runs on directx too, but with Hook it requests DirectX 8 (or higher) and won't run.

But as I said, the old install works perfectly with Hook 5. I don't know what has changed.

check messages.

Does your clean game run on OpenGL? Before you press Start, go to options, select opengl.

dont make folders in Windows folder!. Extract the files in another folder, somewhere. After that run DXSETUP.exe

What exactly do you mean by a slower game. I mostly do animations, will these go in slow-mo because that´s not a wanted effect

The game will run slower, loads menus slower, reacts slower, everything slowed. Because it runs slower, your hardware has more time to render frames thus FPS increases. Try a value closer to 1 if you don't want to feel the slow motion, like 0.85 - 0.9

I'm curious, if you set the value to 2, will the game load twice as fast?:)

Updating directx is useless. You need to install this: https://www.klubexile.com/tutorials/article/66-quick-install-guide-for-hook5/

Hook5 uses a file from DirectX Redist (June 2010) and it's not present in dx11 or 12. That's why you get an error about directx8 missing.

About the eyes:

I don't know what you're missing, since you only showed the normal and spec textures. Look at my screenshot and do the same.

it has hotkeys as well.

Picture below shows how it should look like. Same goes for eyewhite.png. No numbering, no 02, no 03.

You can place stage2 and 3 textures anywhere. For example, if the texture were in Eyes17 folder, it would look like this:

stage2 = eye_515_FF.bmp

stage3 = eye_h.bmp
 

I suggest you enable file extensions on Windows.

When you change color, you have to reselect the eyes so that h5 textures reload.

Maybe you are missing the files inside _pass.txt, Your eyes don't look like they have textures.

I've been looking for a solution for this:

1 - The eyeballs of all models are very dark and grey. Once (in V7.5) they used to be  a bit too bright Now I tried to make them lighter in the customizer and in Hook, but maybe I'm missing something there. I downloaded an iris pack and an eyball pack from Driver but they are the same or even worse. I had a problem with irisses floating all over the eyeballs and I got an answer here on the forum when I didn't know anything about Hook customizing. I'll look at it again now that I'm getting more familiar with Hook

2 -  Maybe this has been asked before, but now that I'm here....  : as the picture shows the hairs are very shiny/glossy. All hair styles are like that. Is there a way to make them less oily/plastic looking? I've been looking in Hook (extended) , but the hair menu doesn't have any submenus/sliders/buttons.

To remove shine from hair, you got 2 options:

1. Edit the hair in Scene folder. Search for RenderMaterial.SpecularColor, all 3 values to 0. If you have a pack of hairs, you can try hair shine remover.

2. Add activemod textures(normal map and specular map).

Eyes should work. Maybe you have 2x, 4xmod and, I think, the game expects different sizes or file names.

why not use a script to rotate?

I'm not familiar with Blender but hey I love learning something new - so thanks I shall start some reading. BTW - I managed to make walking post on treadmill and walking ( see attached )  but hahaha - looks really goofy ! Lotsa fun though and I was laughing all the way  

If your model, or body part moves forward, you need to use Linear, so the motion is continuous and doesn't stop like yours does. When you move the body forward, select (holding shift) upper body, hands, hip and 1 foot and drag forward.
