Description
LSR Gang Creator
LSR Gang Creator is an expansion plugin for Los Santos RED that allows players to create, configure, customize, and manage their own gangs directly in GTA V.
The plugin replaces the long and error-prone process of manually editing multiple Los Santos RED XML files. Instead, it provides an in-game interface that guides the player through every major part of gang creation, including the gang’s identity, territory, hideout, ambient members, outfits, vehicles, and spawn settings.
All generated content is stored in separate additive XML files. The original Los Santos RED files are never overwritten.
Main Features
In-Game Gang Creation
The plugin provides a standalone menu that can be opened with F7.
From this menu, the player can create a new gang without manually editing XML files. The creator handles identifiers, XML references, file structure, validation, and compatibility between the different Los Santos RED systems.
The interface is divided into dedicated submenus to keep navigation clear and avoid excessively long option lists.
The Main Sections Are:
General gang informationHideout and territoryGang membersGang vehiclesValidation and savingManagement of previously created gangs
Most values can be changed directly with the left and right arrow keys. The Enter key is mainly reserved for explicit actions such as text input, position capture, adding or removing elements, validation, and final saving.
General Gang Configuration
The player can configure the main identity and behavior of the gang, including:
Internal gang identifierGang display nameMember nameContact nameHideout nameGang classificationGang colorLicense plate prefixAmbient spawn limitRelationships and inherited settings from an existing gang template
An existing Los Santos RED gang can be used as a template. This allows the creator to inherit valid default settings while replacing the important identifiers and customized values.
Gang Hideout
The plugin can create a dedicated gang hideout based on the player’s current position.
The Player Can:
Define the hideout entrance at the current positionSave the player’s current headingSelect an existing hideout as a configuration templateCustomize the hideout name and identifierEnable or disable the map blipReuse safe map icon settings from existing Los Santos RED gangsAdd ambient member spawn pointsAdd parked vehicle spawn pointsRemove individual points or clear all saved points
The hideout is generated as a Los Santos RED gang den inside a separate additive location file.
The current implementation is primarily designed for exterior hideouts. It does not require the player to manually define custom interior data, IPLs, doors, teleport positions, or interior navigation.
Territory Creation
The player can assign the current game zone as a territory for the gang.
Territories are stored in the current in-memory draft and are only written to disk during the final save process. This prevents accidental XML changes while the player is still configuring the gang.
The generated territory is automatically linked to the correct gang identifier.
Ambient Gang Members
LSR Gang Creator can generate a dedicated ambient member group for each created gang.
Members use the GTA V freemode male model:
mp_m_freemode_01
The shared model name is normal for freemode characters. Individual members are differentiated through their complete appearance data rather than through separate model names.
The Plugin Can Generate:
Multiple outfit variantsMultiple facial identities for every outfitRandomized head blendsRandomized facial featuresDifferent hairstylesDifferent hair colorsDifferent eye colorsCustom clothing componentsCustom accessories
The number of generated faces per outfit can be configured. For example, two outfits with six generated faces per outfit will produce twelve different ambient member definitions.
This prevents all gang members from appearing with the same default freemode face.
Outfit Editor
The in-game outfit editor includes a temporary preview character.
The player can customize clothing components such as:
MaskArms and torsoPantsBagsShoesAccessoriesUndershirtBody armorDecalsUpper body clothing
Supported Accessories Include:
HatsGlassesEar accessoriesWatchesBracelets
Drawable and texture values can be changed using the left and right arrow keys.
The number of available variations is read directly from GTA V, reducing the risk of selecting invalid drawable or texture indexes.
The player can create, rename, duplicate, preview, and delete several outfit variants before saving them.
Gang Vehicle System
Each gang can have its own vehicle group.
Vehicles may be added in two different ways.
Vehicle Catalogue
The plugin builds a vehicle catalogue from the DispatchableVehicles XML files installed with Los Santos RED.
The Catalogue Can Include:
Vanilla GTA V vehiclesDLC vehiclesVehicles referenced by optional Los Santos RED configurationsCompatible addon vehicle models referenced by installed XML files
The player can search the catalogue by model name or display name.
Vehicle preview is automatic. Entering the catalogue or moving between models with the left and right arrow keys immediately replaces the temporary preview vehicle.
A custom spawn name can also be entered manually for addon vehicles that are not already present in the catalogue.
Current Vehicle Capture
The player can also add the vehicle they are currently driving.
This method can capture additional configuration from the actual vehicle, including:
Primary and secondary colorsPearlescent colorWheel colorInterior and dashboard colorsWindow tintLiveryWheel typeInstalled modificationsExtrasPlate typeSeat count
Adding the same model again updates its existing entry instead of creating unnecessary duplicates.
Vehicle Customization
Vehicles selected from the catalogue can be customized through an in-game workshop-style submenu.
Changes Are Immediately Applied To The Preview Vehicle.
Supported Settings Include:
Primary colorSecondary colorPearlescent colorWheel colorWindow tintLiveryWheel typeVehicle extrasOccupant limitsAmbient spawn probabilityWanted-level spawn probabilityDLC or addon requirementRandom or fixed customization behavior
Supported Vehicle Modification Categories Include:
SpoilerFront bumperRear bumperSide skirtsExhaustGrilleHoodRoofEngineBrakesTransmissionSuspensionArmorFront wheelsRear wheels
The creator detects how many modification options are available for the selected vehicle. Unsupported options are not applied.
Safe Validation and Saving
Editing menus only modify an in-memory draft. They do not immediately write changes to the Los Santos RED files.
Saving Follows A Protected Three-step Process:
Validate every sectionArm the save operationConfirm the final save
The plugin calculates an internal fingerprint of the validated draft.
If any gang setting is modified after validation:
The validation becomes invalidThe save is automatically disarmedFinal confirmation is lockedThe player must validate the gang again
This prevents outdated or partially validated data from being written accidentally.
Gang Creation Cost
Creating a new gang can require an in-game payment.
The Default Cost Is:
$300,000
The amount is configurable through LSRGangCreator.ini.
Example:
[GangCreation] RequireMoney=true CreationCost=300000 IncludeBankAccounts=true
Available Options Include:
Enabling or disabling the creation costChanging the required amountUsing cash onlyCombining cash and Los Santos RED bank accounts
The cost only applies when creating a new gang identifier.
Editing a gang that was already created by LSR Gang Creator is free.
The player’s available Los Santos RED funds are checked during validation and checked again before the final save.
The payment is taken immediately before the XML files are written. If the save operation fails, the plugin attempts to refund the deducted amount.
Created Gang Management
LSR Gang Creator includes a management menu for gangs previously created by the plugin.
Only gangs stored inside the plugin’s own generated XML files are displayed.
Original Los Santos RED gangs and gangs installed by unrelated addons are not offered for deletion.
Deleting a gang removes its related entries from the generated files, including:
Gang definitionHideoutsTerritoriesAmbient member groupsVehicle groupsRival references from other plugin-created gangs
Deletion uses a two-step confirmation system to prevent accidental removal.
Timestamped backup files are created before modified XML files are overwritten.
Generated Files
Depending on the selected features, the plugin creates or updates additive files such as:
Plugins/LosSantosRED/Gangs+_000_GangCreator.xml Plugins/LosSantosRED/GangTerritories+_000_GangCreator.xml Plugins/LosSantosRED/Locations+_000_GangCreator.xml Plugins/LosSantosRED/DispatchablePeople+_000_GangCreator.xml Plugins/LosSantosRED/DispatchableVehicles+_000_GangCreator.xml
These files follow the additive naming system already used by Los Santos RED.
The original files, such as Gangs.xml, Locations.xml, and DispatchablePeople.xml, are not replaced.
Multilingual Support
Version 1.0 includes multilingual interface support.
Included Languages:
EnglishFrench
The language can be selected in LSRGangCreator.ini:
[General] Language=auto
Supported Values Include:
Language=auto Language=en Language=fr
With auto, the plugin uses French on a French Windows installation and English on other systems.
Additional languages can be added without recompiling the plugin.
Language Files Are Stored In:
Plugins/LSRGangCreator/Languages/
A custom translation can be created by copying en.lang, renaming it with another language code, translating its values, and selecting that code in the INI file.
Missing translation entries automatically fall back to the default text.
Requirements
LSR Gang Creator Requires:
Grand Theft Auto V LegacyRAGE Plugin HookLos Santos REDRAGENativeUI.NET Framework 4.8
Installation
Copy the compiled files into the GTA V Plugins directory:
Plugins/ ├── LSRGangCreator.dll ├── LSRGangCreator.ini └── LSRGangCreator/ └── Languages/ ├── en.lang └── fr.lang
The plugin menu can then be opened in game with:
F7
After creating or modifying a gang, Los Santos RED should be restarted or reloaded so that it can read the newly generated XML data.
Project Goal
The goal of LSR Gang Creator is to make custom gang creation accessible to players who do not want to manually maintain multiple interconnected XML files.
It reduces repetitive configuration work, prevents common reference and identifier errors, preserves the original Los Santos RED installation, and provides an organized in-game workflow for creating complete gangs with custom hideouts, territories, members, outfits, vehicles, and economic requirements.
