[Alpha|Test] SA Gfx

[JORDAN_BENNETT]

DexX how do you plan to improve lighting in game?

 

 

At this point, I'm tired of weak lighting..

 

 

 

 

shadow created by vehicle models are a sorry excuse....

[javi13]

SAGFX works with ENB, I am running with the real reflecetions from SA gfx, and occlusion, shadows, water and bloom from ENB, will upload a screenshot soon.

@javi13

I happen to have access to three computers at home, one of which is mine, a dell laptop.

However, they are all supported under intel graphics, so Enb Series is not an option for me.

 

 

[javi13]

Well, for my specs, look at my sig. I get about 35 fps with real refs, shadows, and bloom. I'm uploading pics now.

I tried it on my Intel GMA 950, On Vista too, ha awesome :

I don't have any weird problems other than some far things are more lighted than others, that's only noticeable when I'm flying though.

 

Also, this thing has bloom? If so, is it possible to have bloom only(thinking that it doesn't waste that much FPS, because my FPS isn't really that great)

or maybe make refs not that FPS hungry? Anyways, that was expected though, but I'm still on Vista and have a few mods, some which makes

my FPS go down to 15 FPS, I still need to re-install SA.

edit- Oops, the FPS isn't listed on the screens, oh well, with /average/quite a lot of cars I get 12-25 and when I'm alone at the airport I get 20-30, something like that, this GMA 950 really hates cars, and dynamic shadows too.

Did i miss something? SA GFX doesn't have [dynamic] shadows? D:?

[nixxio]

Uhh, I meant Dynamic shadows of SA, when you put Visual FX on medium-veryhigh

 

Anyways:

How did you make that refelctions work with ENB turned on?

When I try to load ENB, cars turn white (I posted a screenshot some pages ago)

[riquenunes]

Well, I got it working too, just use an older version of enb series (like 0.74f, or something like this) and it should do the trick

[JORDAN_BENNETT]

45-120 fps who hoo!

 

Still in desperate need of dynamic shadows and occlusion though.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@DexX....reveal to me a possible way to obtain dynamic shadow, wwithout using enb series....

By the way when do you plan to release full version 0.3 of your mod?

SSAO isn't planned at all and the shadows are a long, long ways off, assuming i can get them to work correctly.

 

Progress is slow, i've been distracted by playing and poking @ IV.

Try upgrading the IV reflections. The resolution in IV is quite low and the reflections suck. (They used the camera's back to produce reflections)

According to R*, the reflection resolution depends on the overall game resolution. The higher you run the game, the higher the reflection res will be. Yea, go figure.

 

The reflections are accurate though (not using camera backside);

Go drive around a bit, watch the refs on the surface of your vehicle. What i'd like to know is if they calculate the reflections separately for each vehicle, or use a trick similar to mine, where just one is generated and applied to all vehicles. It's hard to tell without adjusting the reflectivity levels, but they seem to be accurate per vehicle..

[ikt]

Oh, well, it might be me. On the xbox i landen om some building which had a reflective air-vent0thing that was as big as my heli. ANd the reflections seemed kinda weird. They were definitely not cubemaps.

(It's somehwere in mid-algonquin, i don't know where exactly)

MY pc copy of GTA IV will arrive soon enough.....

I use the v0075s.

[3niX]

Well...

 

Yes, it works with earlier versions.

Might have something to do with bumpmapping... or maybe some other feature.

GTA sa graphic mod:

 

Look what a previous release of dexX's graphics mod did to my gta sa:

 

 

 

 

actually reminds me of gta iv's water....

That is Boiling point: Road to hell... I think you should GTFO of this topic, as your posts are pretty useless in this topic.

[JORDAN_BENNETT]

Since DexX got GTA IV, he has seemingly forgotten about gta sa, so I posted something I knew would induce response......

My copy of gta iv will come soon enough..........gues I'll have to stick to Far cry 2, mercenaries 2, need for speed undercover, and gta sa for now.

[DexX]

I've been working on this mod (in various incarnations) for over a year. If i want to spend a few days with IV, thats my prerogative. So don't spam up the topic with nonsense, thinking i'll update it sooner.

 

When there's an update to be posted, i'll post it. If you don't see one, it's because i have nothing worth saying or showing off at that time.

[JORDAN_BENNETT]

5 days until gta iv.......

[DexX]

That does it. Locked until i have a proper update. Jordan, go do something else.
