I was browsing The Rockstar Games Social Club today and gave it a go! Here's our official OWG Crew!!
Open World Games Crew (http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/open_world_games_)
I will send all of you an invitation, if you just give me your Social Club User name ;)
If you have any ideas on Crew Avatar, custom titles etc, let me know. I've only just begun ^-^
Nice w@&k, Binn! :-X +1
I'm OWG-PZ
:-X 1+, we need to do heists together >:D >:D :-D :-D
Btw, I have sent an invite. My name is "GKID7891" on social club too ;)
I accepted both requests, and then 'invited' you both. And then nothing happened. Please check if you have to accept again, because you're not visible in the crew yet. If not, accept my friend request in SC and I can add you through the friends list. Then Accept, etc.
Hope it works ^-^
Oh, btw, Art, since you are already in my friends list I invited you right away. Can you see if it is there to accept?? Cheers 8)
I can't bloody open its overlay. how do I get to see it?
(I fired up gta iv and I signed in but that's all I saw.. can't find a key to activate it except for that stupid gfwl)
I think it worked ????

You may need to log on the Social Club web page.
GKID, thanx for the upload of the emblem, problem is I can't see it. I created one myself as well, that one isn't visible either. It sais it takes some time to become visible. Maybe we just need a bit patience. Anyway, Wonder what they both look like as an emblem 8)
thanks Gkid, Binnatics recommended using MaxPayne3 - I'll try when I get my head around it :)

Yeah, I got the same problem too ???? :-(
That's strange - when I went to the crew yesterday I saw the emblems. ????
One was even on the page as the official one for the page - looked like a cartoon face with the "O" and "G" as eyes with the "W" as sort of a mouth - quite a clever emblem great job, Binn +1 for both you and GKID for your w@&k :-X
The pictures works now :-D
For me they w@&k as well. Rockstar warned that a picture created would take 30 minutes to show when published. Apparently it seems to have become 30 hours, anyway they are visible now :)
It could probably some heavy activity on their servers, multiple emblems being published and other stuff ????
I think you are right about the servers. Yesterday I tried to publish an adapted version of the emblem and it was visible after only a couple of minutes :)
^-^ :-X

That's a real nice emblem, Binn! :-X
Thanx PZ! I wasn't sure about the mouth I created with the glancing lips. Plus wanted to check gradient effects. I think it is about right now 8)
I think so too - the mouth is better than the lips in the prior version, and the gradient is very nice :-X +1
Thanx again ^-^
I like it too :)
can't get a crew access through MP3. I'll check later when GTAV is out :)
I'm in. :-D
:-X
Excellent! Welcome Art Blade :)
I created a new Emblem for the crew today:
[smg id=7797]
The online emblem creator is very good. The only thing I miss it the ability to draw or brush. You can only use prefab figures, that can be adjusted in many ways.
In this emblem, the Jackal was constructed out of strokes I picked and edited from the symbol picker. You have symbols, or figures, in a variety of themes. If you're lucky, the thing you need for your emblem has a prefab edition, like a skull, a pistol or a tribe.
You can adjust the order of the symbols you introduce, so you can decide which symbol needs to overlap others. Like the layers you may know from Photo-shop.
You can adjust gradient colour schemes and you can adjust the opacity of a layer / symbol.
The good thing about using prefab figures it that it is relatively easy to copy earlier designs; the moon is a copy of the first OWG emblem, in a somewhat simplified appearance.
It would've been cool though if a finished emblem could be used as an uploadable picture though, or if you could just grab and adjust a number of layers together. That way it would have been even easier to use the original emblem for the moon :)
Anyway, on various occasions I learnt that having to deal with limits greatly enhances your creativity :angel:
1+ :-X :-D
I promoted all owg members to 'crew representatives' :)
That means you can all recruit new crew members for our 'muscle' department. Needles to say players should agree to our motto ;)
wow that looks very nice, Binnatics :)
+1 :-X :)
+1 nice w@&k, Binn!
Thanx guys ^-^
For when we are all the highest rank ;)
I guess because I installed using physical media, my game is not listed in the Steam client, but instead, in the Social Club. Too bad
We can still play together I hope ;) :-()
I'm sure! I played together with many guys who don't own the steam edition of MP3 and still appear in RSC. We can find eachother without Steam :)
It would be nice to have it running anyway, for group chat sessions during heist, but maybe the game provides good in-game voice chatting anyway :)
Look at the nice big emblem on the back of my heist outfit :)

I've been busy finding out where you can put crew emblems on and where they will show. On cars it's a bit disappointing, because there's not much choice. Some cars show the emblem to the side, on the drivers door. But not on the right. Most show the emblem on the hood, but usually quite small. I'd like to buy a Burrito (large Van) and have a massive emblem on the side, but that's not an option. It will give you a small one on the hood instead :-\\
Here's my ride with the emblem to the side; the beers on the ground are all empty, that's why the vision is a bit blurred :-D
[smg id=7969]
That's really cool, Binn - is this for online only?
Yep! Well, you can customize your clothing and cars anyway you like, but the crew emblem (and the female tough :-D) ins Online-only ;)
:-X :)
Today I felt like creating my first crew emblem. Here it is:
[smg id=8150 type=preview align=center caption="OWG by Art Blade"]
Very nice, AB; now I see where you got your avatar ;)
thank you, PZ :)
Welcome - that deserves a +1 :-X
thanks again, PZ ^-^
Cool :-X 8)
Thanks, GKID :)
Cool indeed +1 :-X
... and I made it active ;)
I'm flattered. Cheers, Binnatics :)
This is how it looks
[smg id=8151 type=preview align=center caption="new crew emblem"]
Nice :-D
Nice :) :-X
thank you. :) Although you can't see it well, all cars in that garage bear the crew emblem.
Due to the colour mix in it, I think it goes well with whatever colour the car is painted in.
just slapped those emblems on some of my jackets and so forth :-D Also, bottom right, of all the cars, the Grotti Carbonizzare is actually my favourite. :)
[smg id=8152 type=preview align=center caption="new crew emblem 2"]
Nimble little thing, isn't it.
Though the Turismo R is better, atleast with the braking.
there are better cars. I like the Carbonizzare best because it is a cabrio (for the guys from the New World, it means "convertible" :-() ) so I can drive around without a top when the sun is shining and at the push of a button, the top comes back on. And I like the unique Ferrari sound. And it is pretty fast. And it looks good, too. On top of it all, it comes at an affordable price (about 200k) so, all in all, it is a great car :)
Back on topic, I changed the OWG G+ logo to the new OWG crew logo so now we match again ^-^
nice :)

:laugh:
I've killed for less. >:D
Hehe, it's your crew, do what you must -- I wouldn't remove those emblem slots. The old one had its charm and was nice, just different. :)
This week I created a new emblem for the crew. Not that it needs a new one, I just like to keep myself busy and Art's creation triggered me to show off once more :-D
Here's my new creation, not as matching with the open world games theme as Arts, but definitely a nice wink towards the theme on which our site was birthed on:
[smg id=8179]
I must admit that I stole (or do we artists say we were inspired by?) the concept of the triangular Jackal-head from an ingame realty development agency:
[smg id=8180]
Anyway, I am happy with the result. It was fun creating it, being a combination of mathematic design and artistic playing with colours.
Here's an example of the ingame effect of the crew logo on one of my favourite cars, the Comet a.k.a. Porsche:
[smg id=8182]
Oh, and don't worry PZ, you don't have to change emblems on the site, the steam group and all other places our logo appears on. I just temporarily changed the logo ingame and don't expect you to follow me on that. I will probably create more emblems in the future, and others may do so as well. I think it's cool to give a podium to new creations temporarily and I will change it back to the default when nothing new is out ;)
Nice one, Binn! +1 :-X
it is a very nice piece of art, Binnatics :) I already gave you a +1 :-X when you first showed it here as your avatar ^-^
Thank you chaps :)
Well done Binn +1 Nice avi and nice emblem :-X :)
