[REL|Beta 0.075] ENBSeries (Graphic Change)

[yodason45]

er, nothing, not a damn thing!

 

i just double clicked it after patching it up, and still nothing. it doesnt open?

 

why?

 

just incase ur wondering, it opens up when i remove the graphical improvement mod.

 

i want to run this!

plz help?!

 

btw, i dont think my video card supports shader 3.0, but still i think it should run my game at least?

[javi13]

I'm having the same problems as Darecki, no shadows, no boom, SSAO has a sort of offset thing to it, cars are black unless reflectionsinglepass=0 It was working yesterday...

[BorisVorontsov]

Guys, what can i say? This new unusual performance improvement have problems, i'll try to find out what in the hell is wrong, but to make sure everything is ok i'll implement previous version also (additional boolean parameter) to allow skip artifacts if no way to run as it is. All those problems you have from first public version of the mod are because of HDR textures, new method use them to compute some parameters in shaders directly, this related to color correction, reflections, shadow levels, bloom...

It works ok with me, but i saw that green cars only when NVidia FXComposer was active in background. Anyway i'll try more, this new code is really perfect idea about performance, can't ignore it.

This is what I get with version H, very strange bug all cars are black and some parts are missing:

 

This are my settings on version H:

I also lost bloom for some reason. :S

 

My PC specs:

 

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+

2GB DDR2 RAM

Calibre nVidia Geforce 7900GT (OC edition)

 

Version F worked like a charm, thanks for the nice mod Boris.

Thanks for posting your settings Paroxum, they make shadows very good.

[BorisVorontsov]

Just posted update for H version, disabled new performance trick for cars, chech out if cars are green (or other strange effects) now or not.

[yodason45]

can someone solve my problem?

 

my .exe isnt opening up after installition of the mod.

[FrodoPL]

Reflections now work better (no colouring), however:

 

- "new" reflections still suck more than in G version - they are too bright (maybe it is that because my eyes think that? AD.3) and they are "scratchy" - I don't know any word how to describe it

- shadows disappear?

- bloom doesn't work, however it looks like refrections DO reflect it as always - but the bloom itself isn't here? wtf

 

yodason45 - any error?

[stef_92]

Looks great man! This will look great on the Liberty City mod for SA

[BorisVorontsov]

Seems i found the problem, those new hdr textures at PC start have invalid values (on 7300GT tried, cars was black), i must to clear them before use. Soon update will be published.

 

To FrodoPL:

Reflection brightness still the same code, it's all about parameters in enbseries.ini.

 

Everybody who can't start the game after installing enbseries, but no message appear, first try to find on your computer library d3dx9_26.dll if not exist, download it from network. If this not helps, perhaps your drivers from 169.00 till 169.21, in some reason the don't want (on my pc) to run the game at all.

[Darecki]

Boris, maybe all these problems (SSAO, bloom, shadows) are in the drivers?

What drivers do you use? (I have something like 9x.xx and everything is messed up)

I'm downloading 175.16 and in a few hours I will write what will happen.

[BorisVorontsov]

Just published another one version, test if those problems still exist or not.

 

To Darecki:

It's nothing, my fault mostly, only newest nvidia drivers bad, not all of them.

[yodason45]

no error, but my mouse shows like its working on something(busy) for about 2 secs then nothing. its not even there in my task manager!?

 

and i i searched for d3dx9_26.dll and i found it! its still not working! why?!

hi i'm using the f edition, i have pixel shader 3 i want to know:do you advise me to use the h edition?

It might be everything else too black then

[FrodoPL]

test5 works, however water is ULTRASLOW! Not to mention that reflections are "back to normal" performance, but I'm not sure

[numena]

About different nvidia drivers since 169.xx and artifacts with ENBseries. So far i havent' seen any connection between them. My card doesn't recognize anything older than forceware 169.21 so i have had to experiment, but no differencies between 169.xx-175.xx in the way occlusions or ENBseries work. Outside occlusions I haven't spotted many artifacts in ENBseries. Only getting SSAO to work (with IL set off) without "bright and dark spots" or "grainy" kind of noise artifacts is difficult or getting both SSAO and IL to work together without a performance drop. Strange thing is if i disable IL the noisy artifacts gets worse now. In 0.074f i remember it was vice versa. Anyway with IL on it looks quite good now but is slow, so i've settled to not use occlusions at the moment but add some plant and texture mods instead. This way it's better visuals than by lowering resolution and enabling high quality occlusions filters and disabling other mods. And occlusions don't seem to like plant mods even with alpha test and blend, the plants get kind of invisible.

Just published another one version, test if those problems still exist or not.

 

To Darecki:

The latest version works fine,no problem with shadows ,car colors and other stuff and also the perfomance is way higher than in old versions.The only thing that is same is occlusion,it never worked fine for me neither in other versions nor in this one,but it's not a big deal for me.(i have Geforce 7600 512 mb)

i dont mean to be a pain in the butt, but what about my problem?

 

the .exe file still doesnt open up! i really want this thing to work!

[numena]

hi i'm using the f edition, i have pixel shader 3 i want to know:do you advise me to use the h edition?

Perhaps you should wait for final version since it says "test" at the moment? But just add all new entries in the new .ini file to your existing enbseries.ini. Other than that what else? just replace the d3d9.dll with new one.

[gta_rodney]

I like those strange effects :

try deleting (MAKE BACK UP) the file GTA_SA.set in my documents/gta san andreas user files, it should work..... i got this problem after changing drivers

[Edu115]

Hi there...

 

I'm new here so sorry for bothering. I've read the readme and I couldn't find the answer to this problem.

Whenever I activate ENBSeries, the game screen starts flashing intermittently. It just stops when I deactivate it.

 

I have a 8800gt

[wachumanango]

hey

WARNING: drivers 17x.xx for nvidia cards are causing overheating, atleast they do in geforce 7 series (tested by me) so you should not install those drivers

 

im back to 169.xx drivers and no problems

[Lioshenka]

I have made some custom palettes for this mod.

 

Here is how to use it - unset all the settings like that - it will help you fight the low frame count and the ugly alphas:

 

 

[PROXY]EnableProxyLibrary=0InitProxyFunctions=1ProxyLibrary=[GLOBAL]UseEffect=0AlternativeDepth=1AllowAntialias=1BugFixMode=0SkipShaderOptimization=0QuadVertexBuffer=0[EFFECT]EnableBloom=0EnableOcclusion=0EnableReflection=0EnableMotionBlur=0EnableWater=0EnableShadow=0DepthBias=0[iNPUT]KeyUseEffect=123KeyBloom=120KeyOcclusion=121KeyReflection=122KeyCombination=16KeyShadow=119KeyWater=118[REFLECTION]ReflectionPower=15ChromePower=10UseCurrentFrameReflection=0ReflectionQuality=0ReflectionSourceSpecular=50ReflectionSourceTFactor=50UseAdditiveReflection=0ReflectionDepthBias=0UseLowResReflection=0ReflectionSinglePass=1[bLOOM]BloomPowerDay=10BloomFadeTime=2000BloomConstantDay=1BloomQuality=0BloomScreenLevelDay=60BloomCurveDay=0BloomPowerNight=25BloomConstantNight=5BloomCurveNight=0BloomScreenLevelNight=20BloomAdaptationScreenLevel=80BloomAdaptationMultiplier=10BloomAllowOversaturation=1[sSAO]UseFilter=1OcclusionQuality=2FilterQuality=1DarkeningLevel=30BrighteningLevel=30IlluminationLevel=30AdditiveIlluminationLevel=30UseAmbientOcclusion=1UseIndirectLightning=1[colorCORRECTION]DarkeningAmountDay=10ScreenLevelDay=60ScreenLevelNight=20DarkeningAmountNight=20GammaCurveDay=0GammaCurveNight=2ColorSaturationDay=0ColorSaturationNight=0UsePaletteTexture=1[PLUGIN]WeatherMod=0[WATER]UseWaterDeep=1WaterDeepness=20WaterQuality=0[sHADOW]ShadowFadeStart=40ShadowFadeEnd=80ShadowAmountDay=60ShadowAmountNight=30ShadowScreenLevelDay=60ShadowScreenLevelNight=20ShadowQuality=0UseShadowFilter=0FilterQuality=1[ENGINE]ForceAnisotropicFiltering=0MaxAnisotropy=8ForceDisplayRefreshRate=0DisplayRefreshRateHz=60[MOTIONBLUR]MotionBlurQuality=1MotionBlurVelocity=10MotionBlurRotation=10

 

 

Press Shift+F12 while in game to turn the palette on.

Then save one of the following images into SA folder and name it as enbpalette.bmp. There are three images to choose from so far - one is more or less suitable for any type of location and makes it a bit brighter.

This one is good for countryside daytime. Doesnt look good in the cities or desert and also some roads may be too dark.

And the final one, which is my favourite is for the countryside/desert and even for some cities although it may not look very well in LS. Makes everything bloody dark and if you have your headlight off then tough luck. I managed to get lost with switched off radar, so it is good fun.

 

Hope you like them.

 

Oh, and you can change the colourset while playing, simply replace the pallette image with the new one, thats what I did when the day is dawning or the sun rises - I swap daytime and nightime palettes

[wachumanango]

hey boris thanks a lot for test5 seem its working fine,

a little questtion, would be possible realistic headlights? the actual headlights in game are pretty useless

[BorisVorontsov]

Another test, try it. BloomFadeTime forced to 100 and texture format changed.

 

To wachumanango:

Perhaps not, at least without any additional changes in geometry from other modders, there is no lights as objects, to use those "rays" to generate lights from them bad idea, because that depends from distance (they dissapear), geometry in game not have normal vectors for lighting, that even more harder and buggy.

[wachumanango]

ah well, no problem, just wanted to know......

 

about the new relase, i just tested and ssao is not working right , i tried everything to see if it works but it didnt, all i got was some little points with the normal FPS impact (heavy)

i set darkening level to 80 to make them more visible

Strange, I really I don't know, but try to disable the bloom and occlussion, and maybe the reflection.

 

By default:

Bloom: Shift + F9

Occlussion: Shift + F10

Reflection: sh*t + F11

 

I think the problem will be the Occlussion, but sometimes in my PC, the reflection start to flash and looks strange

 

Greetings!

I tried that too, and the problem continues.
