@lucasvinbr Sorry for not responding, I had some issues with GTA and stopped playing it for a while, so it slipped my mind. I had no issues as far as I recall. I'm gonna get back to modding GTA again and I'll try things out and let you know.
Also I have a suggestion I thought of. As it is, melee weapons are not great as far as implementation goes. You get like one gun and suddenly they're obsolete, and other gangs can just bulldoze you/rivals. So I thought why not make guns/melee weapons spawn separately?
So let's say you got a pistol and a baseball bat as unlocked weapons in the weapon pool, so there's a 50/50 chance each member spawns with either? I think it could help a lot and on top of it it'll make the combat feel more like a gang fight since in a lot of gang fights people do mix guns/melee weapons.
I think it might be cool anyhow. You're shooting at some enemies and suddenly a guy with a machete ambushes you or something.
In either case, this is probably the best mod on the website and it's lots of fun regardless.
Like I know I'm always here making damn comments but holy shit this is the best mod on the site. Like I'm such a huge fan and I use it in my machinimas all the time. It's just so awesome. Keep up the good work Lucas. Every update is just gold.
Oh, and, sorry to bombard with comments. But I discovered a bug, and how to fix it. If you're in a gang war and the enemy/friendly counters are not affected by peds getting killed, then it might be due to ''Real | RAGE Weapons and Damage Enhancer''. It's sadly incompatible. I replaced my update.rpf with an unaffected one, and it resolved the issue. Personally I theorise that it's the pedhealth.meta that's the culprit, but I never tested this.
Just letting you all know in case you have the same problem.
Some kind of toggle for heads would be ideal. Even if people aren't using masks, then the MPFemale have a set of male shaped heads that look a bit odd. Like I get women come in all shapes and sizes, but two or three of them are genuinely disproportionate to the body as though the head was made for someone taller/broader. So it would resolve that problem too at the same time. The punk/anime/other alt gangs sounds like a great idea. I got a few friends who are punks and one of them literally has a blue beard. Maybe an option for weird eyes too? It's not too unrealistic either since there's all kinds of contacts these days that can give you the weirdest eyes. Someone I know even had contacts that gave them full blown reflective mirror eyes. So might be cool.
Also I just noticed this thing has a rating system, so have five stars.
(Hopefully they work differently on the site and you won't get hassled by any SWAT vans.)
Hey, it's me again. I suggested the freemode gang member customisation? It was great of you to add and I'm super thankful. But I noticed two small bugs. I figured with everything you've done that I shouldn't bother you with it, but then I thought ''Hey, it's a bug report. Might be genuine useful knowledge.''
First off, hair colours are a bit odd. I looked through the source code (only to realise I'm not a programmer and thus I am writing this comment), and noticed you put in a limit for eye colours. I'd suggest the same with hair colours since now there's a 50/50 chance gang members end up with green hair.
Also, and this is the big one, the randomised head sizes make a lot of masks clip with the character. Since skin tone, hair colour, eye colour and so on are all randomised as it is, I don't think anyone will notice the uniform head shape, should you make that conform to the saved character head.
It's just a suggestion so people can make gangs with cool looking balaclavas and stuff. Either way the mod is tonnes of fun, and there's plenty of masks that work.
And also just a brain storm but it would be cool to see some expanded gameplay features with the gangs. Maybe activities? Like drug dealing, or extortion rackets or something. I would imagine it takes a lot of hard work so no pressure or anything. Just a big fan of this mod, and you're doing a fantastic job. Just sharing some thoughts is all.

@lucasvinbr Can confirm. I've spent hours customising an entire cool fleet of vehicles only to realise this the hard way.
@lucasvinbr That sounds even cooler actually. Great idea!

@lucasvinbr Yeah I mean it's not a real ''bug'' as such. Like it seems to be more on REAL's side than your mod's side.

@lucasvinbr Yeah that's what I was going for. Like war journalist footage or something.
