FAQ

As we sometimes make changes to the download system which aren't obvious, I thought I would create a change-log here of recent changes to the system. I aim to keep this as up to date as possible.

FAQ

• What type of files belong on LCPDFR.com?
  Contrary to public belief, any file which can be categorised by our system is welcome here. That means as of right now, we accept mod uploads for GTA5 Mods, GTA4 Mods, and 3D resources and assets.
  Content does not need to be policing or emergency services related.
• How does the trending system work?
  The trending system is designed to pick out files which are new and have become popular, without intervention from the LCPDFR.com staff.
  It is entirely automatic.
  The following variables are taken into account by the trending system:
  • The age of the file
  • How many downloads the file has received in a limited time window
  • Variance and uniqueness of those downloads
  • Author's LCPDFR.com account standing
• How do I add a donation button to my files?
  From your user bar, select 'Account Settings'. From this page, select 'Creator Settings'. You can set your PayPal e-mail address and also set your preferred donation currency from here. Having a valid PayPal address automatically activates the donate button on your files.
  You can remove the donation button by removing your PayPal address from the field.
• How does featuring work?
  Our Content Team, along with our Community and Management teams, pick out files for featuring. We feature files that are of a high quality, but we also use figures like downloads, positive reviews and more to make the determination. We do not feature files which have a poor quality primary screenshot, as featured files show prominently on the portal page. To improve the process we are working on a community endorsement system to supplement staff featuring.
• How do I move my file?
  If you've accidentally placed your file in the wrong place, we'll be introducing the ability to move your file by yourself soon. For now, please report your file and a moderator will deal with it.
• How can I delete my file?
  From the 'File Actions' menu, which you can find at the bottom of your file, choose 'Hide from public'. This option will hide your file temporarily, and queue it for deletion in a week. You can unhide your file any time before the deletion to restore it and cancel the deletion timer.
  Once the file has been deleted, it is not possible to recover it.
  Note: These options will not work if a moderator has hidden your file or if your account/file has been subject to an approval process. If you want a file subject to these limitations deleted, contact the moderator to request file deletion.
