[TUTORIAL] Providing a RAGE_HOOK.log

[Quakex64 181]

To help the developer out after a crash you need to provide a log file for them to diagnose  an issue you have. You're going to find the log in your GTA 5 directory root folder (mine is in logs folder because I moved it there, disregard it) going to be named as seen: RagePluginHook_[something]. ( I date mine so they do look different) It will be a text file that you can simply open in notepad.

when you open it, it will look like this: 

NOTE: your installation path will be different) The  log has a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo important information, but all you need to do is hit CTRL+A, open up pastebin.com click 
new paste, then Ctrl+V, save that, it will give you a page link, you need to post that page link to your reply here in 
the support topic for whatever mod you used when crashed. then you would go into explanation about what you were doing or 
what happened before the crash so developers can help rectify the problem..

Ive posted this because alot of people to whom LSPDFR is new to them install a mod correctly, are able to  use it for their personal enjoyment but end up crashing and just reply to the mod topic, I crashed when I was doing "x" can you help me... If you do not provide the developer(s) some kind of log, they are not able to help you if/when you ask for it by just "it crashed, can you help?"

Fro the specific mod, there is also usally a Readme provided that tells you what the mod is, whats the mod is used for, how to use it (controls) and how to (properly) install it. If you cannot open that readme up and read the instructions, PLEASE do not go to the developers page and ask for help. 

if this is in the wrong section, I apologize but I dont really think it is..... If you know how to do this, and you do it on a normal basis after crashes occur from either LSPDFR or GTA V itself, I applaud you.
