[simkas]

Booka, are you gonna post your settings or not?

[Booka]

Thank you Boris, it worked... and now my frame rate is even higher, ~45-50 fps without SSAO

When I get home this evening (GMT+2) I'll post my .ini

[numena]

Since people ask GTA SA .ini settings, without weathermods and with in-game brightness to default something in this

direction looks good for me

 

BloomPowerDay=25

BloomFadeTime=1000

BloomConstantDay=1

BloomScreenLevelDay=50

BloomCurveDay=5

BloomPowerNight=35

BloomConstantNight=5

BloomCurveNight=0

ScreenLevelDay=65

Other settings are to 0.074g presets. One can Alt+tab to change settings on the fly.

 

edited: simplified a few settings, works also good with gta3/vice city, increase bloom constant values if you like

Nice settings !

 

Thx

hi , I didn't find any parallax in the parallax version , how to activate it ?

[Illousion]

Why do i only have 2 fps when activated?

This can compete with GTA IV

Too bad this doesn't work for me.

[usfvampire]

I have a problem: when I launch SA it shows this error: SA require directX9.0, but I have already installed it from SA DVD. What can I do?

[FrodoPL]

Get d3dx9_29.dll or whatever file it needs and put it in GTASA folder.

[Knochen]

This tool is really awesome. I like when friends visit me and then i show them San Andreas and their Jaws drop down LOL.

 

Today i found my final settings. Its playable for me at about 20-25 FPS @ 1280x1024.

 

But i got some heavy mods installed and lots of replaced vehicles (all bike, planes, helis, boats and about 50 cars)

 

Here some screenies

 

 

 

I really love the next one. It sucks that its not made in replay mode. I forgot it. I would use it as wallpaper if the hud wouldnt be there

To Illousion:

Perhaps you playing at too high display resolution (or/and antialiasiong is on) and presets from archive (which is for GF8600). Try to load separate presets and use that one, which for your card (or even lower).

 

To gta_rodney:

I'm not sure why parallax for some users not work (other guy, with Radeon 1650, told me the same), i don't have videocards for testing, but it works on NVidia gf8xxx and ATI Radeon2xxx, i tested. I'll try to figure out what is wrong.

 

Guys, i recently i tried new optimization trick that computes neccesesary data not every frame, but once per half second, this increase performance a lot, but because of it cars that moving by path on the road (not when you shoot at them on drive yourself) every half second twitches by position at computation moment (f.e. at about 20 km/h every "X" frame it moves in about half meter, very noticed). Is that artifact may be ignored for performance reasons or not? I can make special parameter that disables it. Some stats, without mod 54 fps if looking on the ground with shadow, with activated shadows only with quality 2 and without filtering about 28-30 fps, with this optimization trick about 51 fps (Radeon 2400 pro), guess this is interesting for low end hardware owners.

This mod is awesome, it gives SA a fantastic brand new look Thank you Boris, you're great

After some time spent on the .ini, I found a good compromise to play at 1680x1050 at ~35-40 fps:

 

*a lot of pics*

Phew, nice! Can you please post yuor settings? Because whatever i try to do, i get framerates between 10-17 FPS. :|

Turn off the HUD in the menu in San Andreas

Hi boris,

 

I think that if you are able to update every X seconds, you can update eg. each 2 frames as well (thats pretty easy).

 

However if you want to implement this or both, you will have to make settings for turning on/off "seconds mode" (so you can choose between seconds and frame mode) and it would be cool then if we could choose our own float interval between which the screen updates (so not just 0.5 seconds, we can choose 0.2 as well). Same goes to frame, but I don't know if it will work well What do you think about choosing between 2 or 1 frame update? Won't it seriously decrease quality?

 

Edit: Boris, which keys to use with PP Lightning? I was trying to use Page Up/Down & Numpad 5&6 or normal 5&6 but I can't see the difference. Could someone provide me with screenshot before-after?

Edited May 7, 2008 by FrodoPL

[Drippin'187]

is there any way to remove the foggy look from this mod. i love the graphics from this, but not the foggy/blurry look around the corners and sh*t

[Darecki]

you can change the PP lighting by pressing 5 and 6 at the same time (56) and page up or page down for increase or decrease the intensity.

 

Boris, I think that this would be cool, on my graphic card (7600) I don't have many FPS, so what's with people who have f.e 6600?

 

And the parallax thing: It seems that it works on GF 7 series, for me it works fine.

This is something like parallax mapping? It makes texture look like 3D, but without any nmaps or something.. ;d This effect would be great for the land textures (mud, street, grass), but is possible to make it only for some types of textures/models?

[MobBG]

Is it posible to make it for erm...weaker comps?

[3niX]

Well...

 

@Booka - Thanks for the settings. Its very well balanced. I never drop below the 25 FPS limit @1280*1024 (3x aa).

 

My system is as follows:

8600GT 256MB

Id recommend it to others with similar/better systems.

[nixxio]

I know this sounds off-topic and stupid but is it possible to have bullet holes

[BorisVorontsov]

To FrodoPL:

Well, i'll try with frame skiping, may be it will be smoother. Just tried to test on GF8600, of course it runs better even with 0.5 seconds computation, almost not visible difference in performance, seems it have other game bottleneck problem and new optimization is above that slow down. As Darecki noticed, hold 5 or 6 keys together with PageUP or PageDown, first about 10 seconds 6+PageUp just to see difference, then 5+PageUp.

 

To Drippin'187:

Try increase BloomGammaCurveDay(Night) and less length of MotionBlur vectors.

 

To Darecki:

Parallax made from colors on screen, but if models will have special height map and normals, then more real parallax could be done. It's not actually parallax, it's relief map with occlusion culling.

Performance on 6600 is not good for modern time, i can't make cool effects for hardware that not able to run them at all or because users want maximal quality at high resolution, better let them buy new hardware, not 4 years old or to change setting to lower.

 

weaker comps? Sorry, language problem, don't understand.

 

Bullet holes (decals) i can modify even with parallax like in Fear, but only if i have them as objects, this question is not to me, i'm around graphic part only.

Edited May 7, 2008 by BorisVorontsov

[nixxio]

Ok thanks for answering my question anyway

[CHILLI]

weaker comps= computers that's not as good as they could be. like mine. like (just an example) a powerful PC: 10mb RAM and a 500mb graphics card. then a weaker PC: 2.5mb RAM and 150mb graphics card. I hope you are understanding what me meant now

[evilrex]

Boris, is it possible to have water reflections? I think it would look awesome on that new water.

[Tennesse]

that water already reflects, quite realistically too

it's real-time because it reflects what's right there

so yeah, it reflects

Uh... 10MB ram is actually a completely sh*t computer. I didn't even know computers like that still existed. Such computer is no way "a powerful PC"

lol 2.5mb RAM, does that exist!?

[Had3s]

i also get the weird flickering effect with reflections. i use Booka's ini in which he has put the settings as you say.

Any more suggestions on how to stop it?

btw i use a HD3870 X2
