Happy New Year Everyone! With the new year comes a new look and features to the website, something that has been long overdue. This update will outline the new changes that have been made live today.

- New Awards and Badges System
 

As some might have notice, a new feature has been added to the forums and your profiles: Awards and Badges. Now the website will issue you awards and badges based on your activity on the website, age of your profile, etc. This is now a default feature of Invision Community so if you wish to learn more, you can view their multi-page update post on their website. (There's also a video explaining the new feature if you don't want to read the entire page)

The website has already scanned through every post on the website and has issued achievements and badges accordingly. At the moment, we are using the default achievements but we may add more down in the line. If you have any suggestions for achievements, you may contact me on discord.

- Customizable Website Theme

Along with the new design of the website, you can now customize the website to your liking. Clicking on the  icon in the navigation bar you'll open a pop-up that will allow you to choose between 5 color profiles and 2 backgrounds. These profiles may be refined down in the future based on community feedback/suggestion. If you wish to submit a color profile you can contact me on discord.

Other site improvements and added features are backend related and are geared more towards staff and administrators so I won't outline them in this post. 

If you, for whatever reason, wish to switch to the old theme, you can do so by clicking the "Theme" dropdown at the bottom of the webpage.
DISCLAIMER: The old theme has been retired and is no longer supported. Functionality is not guaranteed and the old theme is no longer being developed. Use the old theme at your own risk.

With that said, if anyone has any question, feel free to contact the Department of Support or message me on discord. Again, Happy New Year and lets hope for a better 2022 going forward!

Because the DoPJRP Administration Staff in invoking a new Media Policy affecting images posted to the DoPJRP Instagram Account, FiveM Forum Page, and Facebook Page; I have decided to write up this post to tell you exactly what we are looking for in screenshots we want to share and general tips for producing high-quality screenshots.

The Do's:

• Cropping your photos to hide UI Elements or unwanted characters is perfectly acceptable
• Prost-Processing (Photoshop or Lightroom) is a great process to improving your photos.
  • Adjusting Saturation, Exposure, ect., can make a photo pop
  • Using Photoshop's "Content Aware Fill" is a great way to remove unwanted elements from your photos. Just select the element in question and press CTRL+F5.
• Having a Texture Quality of High or Higher will help the image look more high quality, even at 780p.
• Using the Rockstar Editor (Record a 5 second clip in the F1 Menu) to produce screenshots is a great method as you can apply filters, camera effects, depth of field (if enabled in settings), and even some color correction filters right there and export it as a JPEG.
  • Files exported from the Rockstar Editor can be found at "C:\Users\[Your Account]\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA V\"
• Using "/dslrcam" or "/pcam" to take photos can yield great results and could even match the quality the Rockstar Editor outputs.

The Don'ts:

• Use Steam's screenshot system (F12)
  • Unless you like spending 30 minutes finding the temporary folder steam stores it in which changes each time you launch the game.
• Don't include UI Elements
  • Such as the Minimap, FiveM Watermark, Nearest Postal, PLD, the clock, etc.
• Don't use "Low" graphic settings
  • If your PC Struggles to run FiveM in anything higher than "Low" then record a clip with the Rockstar Editor, use a program like the GeForce Experience to adjust your graphic settings, then open the Rockstar Editor to edit and export the image. (Don't forget to change your graphic settings back after you're done)

Examples:

Good Photos:

Bad Photos:

Step 1: Open up Steam on your PC

Step 2: Under your name click "PROFILE"

Step 3: Look for the URL in Green and copy it. It should look like "https://steamcommunity.com/id/[STEAMID64]/" Once you find it, select it and copy it into your clipboard.

Step 4: Go to http://vacbanned.com/engine/check and put your Steam Profile Link into the search bar at the top right of the page and hit ENTER on your keyboard or click the search icon.

Step 5: On the results page, look for "Steam 3 ID (64 bit)" and next to it on the right you'll see two Steam IDs one labeled "Dec" and one labeled "Hex". The one you need for FiveM and the Website is labeled "Hex". Select it and copy it to your clipboard.

You may now send your SteamID 64 (Hex) to your COC. Continue reading below to learn how to add it to your DoPJRP Website Profile.

Step 6: Go to your profile on the website by clicking on your profile picture on the top right of the page or by clicking on your name and selecting "Profile" in the drop down menu.

Step 7: On your Profile Page select "Edit Profile" to bring up the Profile Editor.

Step 8: Once in the Profile Editor scroll down past the Description to "SteamID 64 (Hex)"

Step 9: Add "steam:" to the text box then paste the SteamID 64 (Hex) you obtained previously.

Step 10: Once done, scroll down and click "Submit" to save your changes.

And that's all there is to it. With the SteamID 64 (Hex) on your profile, you will be whitelisted faster than anyone else who has yet to add their SteamID 64 (Hex).
