ikt Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Eem sorry for the stupid question, but what does "pl0x" mean? It means 'please'. I want to know your specs, because your computer may be too weak.

pinky Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Yes, JV is helping me. I usually let people try new versions when i'm on irc (#gostown and #gtamodding) since i can get instant feedback. Cheers for that DexX. Had it on 1920x1200 resolution, settings very high, 2048 sized reflection map and distance at 1000.0 metres. I may have been a little over ambitious as the frame rate was like a slide show at some points, the level of detail was outstanding though. I think reducing the distance and map size should help. Gonna force rainy weather in the Gostown6 SCM when I get home from work and really send my PC up in a puff of smoke. Is it possible to add the reflections to weapons, I have some ref mapped chrome guns that would look real nice with real refs on them?

javi13 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Pinky, I think if you added the vehicle refmap to a weapon and exported it as a vehicle upgrade it might make it reflect.

Replace the graphics card. I don't know which shader model the mod requires, but the GTA SA Recommended specs say that a 2.0 shader card is needed for better gameplay.

DexX Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 found a bug wil the reflections. the reflections will repeat it self when driving. In the public version out now, that shouldn't be a problem if real reflections are turned on. If you're testing the gostown beta, that is a bug i know of. Exit the vehicle, wait several seconds, and the reflections should "catch up" to the player. To be honest, DeXX his new reflections are better than IV ones, in IV the player is not reflected. They might not be for very long. Read what i just told crazymodder. If i can't sort out some of the new bugs, the reflections will revert to being player-less. when DexX is done with shadows and bumpmapping for the world (I think he made that already? no?) it will look even better than IV! They'll never be "done", and it won't look better than gtaiv, for a variety of reasons (only one light, no material-specific normal maps, ugly fake normals generated in pixel shader, shadow system sucks nuts, only works with one exe, etc). Some of that could be fixed by adjusting the models and material and re-exporting them, but Gtaiv itself will probably kill the remaining interest i have in this mod simply because i won't have to reinvent the wheel. IV does everything i want it to do right out of the box, and it would be nice to go back to my main interest - modeling.
