[Alpha|Test] SA Gfx

DexX, can you add PS 2.0 shaders support? All cars without reflection, specular and normal mapping, only diffuse texture.

My graphic card ATI Radeon 9600xt.

 

[DexX]

yes, i will add a sm2 version. The current version, for those of you who didn't know, requires pixel shader model 2 a, because the reflection shader uses 65 instructions. the maximum allowed by shader model 2 (not 2 a) is 64. which means i will have to sacrifice something.

 

shader model 2 version

changes for 2.0 compatability;

-cubemap uvs are no longer swizzled (inaccurate projection)

-reflection map lost one blending operation, though it might not be noticable

 

There are no further updates planned for the sm2.0 version. Future versions will require higher shader models, will post details as the mod advances.

 

Being that my goal is to update the graphics as much as possible, i think i'll make the next version shader model 3 exclusively. 5 year old video cards indeed

 

will edit post when fix is available.

i have one question. what is this from shader results.txt??:

vehmainmat_bumpref.hlsl(182):

 

This is the name of the file that produced the warning, and the line number that the offending piece of code is on.

 

warning X3083: Truncating 4-vector to size 1

 

The warning is that i'm turning one set of data that is made of 4 components (RGBA, the colors for the diffuse texture), into a new set of data that only has one component. This will be eliminated in future version, but for now i'm content to leave it be. the code still works, albeit haphazardly. more than likely i'll use the alpha channel of the normal map for spec.

Really cool mod! Thanks for making it and hopefully you'll be able to finish the SM 3.0 version.

If you're old, I wouldn't recommend playing it when there's a heathaze. xD

Can you also please add support for SA:MP? I think it's the weather ID's, not sure all though as you stated in your ReadMe that you'll add other weather as well.

This is a really beautiful mod.

Some feedback from me. Each release is a step forward

 

Some normal map testing :

 

Not really useful on car in this case but you might want it for an apocalyspe looking metal.

Have you got cleo? If so, remove the cleo folder from the game directory.

Same thing happened with a cracked exe. Running a Nvidia 7300GS card. Followed the readme through, but I'm probably doing something retarded and broke it myself. Let me know if you want more detailia.

hi,

 

it is a fantastic mod and i should thank dexx for this great mod.

 

I ve changes nmap.dds to something better so that the car color is similar to mettalic color.here is the result:

 

I think this hustler is the best ( I love its color )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are interested I can upload nmap.dds somewhere.

Yes.

It's a dds texture. You need an art program that can edit .dds files, or something that can convert to and from .dds to the image format of your choice. Adobe Photoshop has a plugins that will load and write dds files, and create normal maps from heightmaps. if you don't know what a normal map or a heightmap is to begin with, i suggest you do some research on google.

 

Also about the errors, please only post them if they are NOT..

When I Use It Sorry if i am asking something Impossible

Edited December 22, 2007 by stonecoldcrazy

[DexX]

It's not impossible, but it's more limiting, not to mention additional work. If you or anyone else has an old card with less than SM2 support, you'd be better off not using this mod to begin with. The default SA graphics are about what it would look like if i had to add support for the older shader models.

So no.
