[REL|SA] Motion Blur Advanced

[Alexander Blade]

Few days ago i saw screens of San Andreas at rockstargames.com/sanandreas .

And i say 'WOW!' , i did not see the graphics in SA like that before , 'I want this graphics at my PC !' .

Rockstar decreased SA PC version Motion Blur abilities to pure image warping at high car speeds and it's all .

I tryed to find blur creation in gta_sa.exe and i find it !

I already add new features of Motion Blur into the game .

 

Features :

- Motion Blur is activated for planes, boats and helicopters .

- Motion Blur works even then, when the player is on foot.

- Motion Blur is changing when car(made by R*)/Player(by me)

speed changes .

- Motion Blur minimal creation speed is set to zero , so blur

is working all the time .

- New Motion Blur parameters are added , so you can configure

your Motion Blur better .

 

Installing :

Unpack this archive into GTA San Andreas main folder .

ASI Loader is used here , if you have one installed , you may

not replace its files .

Run gta_sa.exe

 

Editing parameters :

1) Open "MotionBlur.ini" using any text editor (notepad).

2) `MAIN` Params :

BlurValue - main blur value .

BlurPlaneValue - main blur value for planes .

HeatValue - air rocking (1/0 - on/off)

3) `BLUR_STAGE_N` Params:

Each stage is independent from other stages .

Main param of each block is `PlayerSpeed` , this is the speed ,

what player must have to set current blur paramemeters to

parameters of this block .

PlayerSpeed - speed of current player .

Warp - image warping .

ObjectLoop - loop of objects .

CamShake - camera shaking .

 

P.S. : There are 2 config files :

"MotionBlur.ini" - my Motion Blur config .

"MotionBlur_Orig.ini" - original blur config , you may delete

this file if you don't need it

>>> btw can you try to get a 'blur mask' like others games uses?

i didn't try to do this and i don't how can realize this

[WordsBG]

About the Float Separator: I'm not sure which language you used for coding the tool, but at least in Delphi you can set the Separator by a global Variable eg. DecimalSeparator := '.';. Maybe you can solve the problem in a similar way.

[rstomrs]

I don't know if it's possible but maybe you can try to add a sort of blur just after you used the bazooka, sort of an effect of the loudness then. I see that you got a blur when your falling so I thought: when you smack down to the ground and stand up, you should get a blur to, this would be so much more game realistic. Hope this tool get's further development. All your tools are great btw.

[GamerShotgun]

Hmm, tried it, and it looks awsome!!!

 

Ever tried to implement a VCS style bloom effect?

[Arvis]

Looks good, im gonna try it!

[Alexander Blade]

Tomorrow i'll post scm scripts for blur controling .

[roby65]

[Alexander Blade]

Yeah, that will be realistic. same with car hits, granade explosion, etc... maybe if alexander releases those scripts that controls the blur, it can be done.

[ehsan_zt]

this mode is awesome !

 

is it possible to get the effect that in games called depth of fields with this mod?

[coin-god]

Tomorrow i'll post scm scripts for blur controling .

Would be nice

[Alexander Blade]

i don't know what `depth of fields` means , may be i know other name of it.

Tell me plz

[JostVice]

DoF or depth of field: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field

[Alexander Blade]

this mode is awesome !

 

is it possible to get the effect that in games called depth of fields with this mod?

try 2 experiment

[ehsan_zt]

jost_vice that was a good reference .i didn t know it(DOF) has mathematical things like that.

in simple words depth of field is an effect that gives blur for far objects.

 

this is my motionblur.ini code :

 

[MAIN]

BlurValue=100

BlurPlaneValue=20

HeatValue=0

 

 

[bLUR_STAGE_1]

PlayerSpeed=0,00

Warp=3

ObjectLoop=0

CamShake=0

 

 

I thought maybe we can get a better effect

[CHILLI]

pull ma trigga and call me nigga: I tried your settings, you cant see anything when going fast like with the banshee or infernus. I like your settings, bring the realistic stuff rockstar forgot also check out the SA Gfx mod DexX and paroXum is working on! awesome combination!

[Alexander Blade]

>> you cant see anything when going fast

u can change values in next stages to smallest

[P.I.M.P_PL]

to alexander blade:

 

hi i have one question.

 

i don't know what is this:

 

If you are using US real-number system

 

 

can you help??

 

bye and thanks.

 

[Alexander Blade]

Real number system :

EU - using `,` , for example value = 3,14

US - using `.` , for example value = 3.14

 

[CHILLI]

if I want a more exact motion blur effect, is it possible to add more STAGEs?

[P.I.M.P_PL]

Real number system :

EU - using `,` , for example value = 3,14

US - using `.` , for example value = 3.14

yes i know but i must have this info what to what exe thanks for this info;)

[Alexander Blade]

if I want a more exact motion blur effect, is it possible to add more STAGEs?

no

[CHILLI]

ah ok. thought so, but I want to be sure so I dont mess anything up. but this is a great job! just make those egdes smooth like the PS2 and/or Xbox version, will look even better!

[Alexander Blade]

Changed weather and stream files :

http://Alexander.SannyBuilder.com/Files/SA...lurAddFiles.rar

as for me with this files atmosphere looks better (allmost like at PS2 ot X-Box)

[ehsan_zt]

this is the best thing i could get:

 

 

 

and the settings are:

 

[MAIN]

BlurValue=50

BlurPlaneValue=20

HeatValue=0

 

 

[bLUR_STAGE_1]

PlayerSpeed=0,00

Warp=2

ObjectLoop=1

CamShake=0

 

[bLUR_STAGE_2]

PlayerSpeed=1,00

Warp=4

ObjectLoop=2

CamShake=0

 

[bLUR_STAGE_3]

PlayerSpeed=1,40

Warp=4

ObjectLoop=3

CamShake=0

 

[bLUR_STAGE_4]

PlayerSpeed=1,80

Warp=5

ObjectLoop=4

CamShake=1

 

[bLUR_STAGE_5]

PlayerSpeed=2,20

Warp=5

ObjectLoop=6

CamShake=2

 

[bLUR_STAGE_6]

PlayerSpeed=2,60

Warp=6

ObjectLoop=7

CamShake=3

 

 

have u noticed that when u look straight forward (in reality) u see the things on your left or right blured?

instead of depth of fields i ve got that effect on my game

[Darecki]

It looks really cool!

[uncajesse]

If you have an nVidia card, get nHancer driver settings tweaker...

www.nhancer.com

and try changing anti-alias mode to Quincunx. It is mostly a line anti-aliasing mode, but it also blurs slightly the textures and edges, and is VERY fast. I think it also makes scene seem to be all the same, instead of objects in a 3d world.

 

Here's a screenshot the settings I use for GTASA, if you want them:
