CptPusheen Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 So why there is no tweak that softens the shadows and has DOF too? Just download both archives and use visualsettings.dat from tweak3.rar and rage_postfx.fxc from tweak2.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two files in every archive No, I meant each and every rage_postfx.fxc that can be downloaded on the first post is different. I would like to know what's the difference among them. EDIT: create something like DOF static blur shadows blured LINKS YES YES YES tweak 1 YES YES NO tweak 2 YES NO YES tweak 3 YES NO NO tweak 4 NO YES YES tweak 5 NO YES NO tweak 6 NO NO YES tweak 7 NO NO NO tweak 8 Does this make any sense?

I would like to know what's the difference among them. Oh, first shader has mid and far DOF enabled and also motion blur, second and third is the same - only far DOF and motion blur. Thanks for advice, I will do what you said Edited February 5, 2009 by bartekxyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h34v3ns3nt Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 For anyone still wondering why they need a good reason to use this tweak, this tweak immediately makes the game feel smoother at lower framerates due to motion blur effect. Give it a shot, nothing to lose The concept of motion blur is described here: http://www.tweakguides.com/Graphics_5.html About half way down.

I think these should be all possibilities. dude, your 'tweak 1' that you are referring to is basically the original 'P' filter your 'tweak 8' is the original 'P' filter switched off. So drop those from your list I agree about your other tweak suggestions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA_XP Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) <snip> Why these dumb smileys? was it really necessary for you to quote the entire post just to say that ? - cc Edited February 6, 2009 by CharmingCharlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranastrasz Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Why these dumb smileys? Notice how he said "Just look carefully which effects you like and which don't and grab proper version (screenshots soon)" Oh and by the way, I've tried tweak 3 and tweak 7 (I want the shadows blurred but without the motion blur) and every time I turn the camera while in a vehicle I get EXTREME blurring.

CptPusheen Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Just tried tweak3 and it's ok. No motion blur when driving/walking/camera rotating. Anyone else can confirm that tweak3 is broken? @GTA XP These smileys are awesome, not dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In "no motion blur" tweaks motion blur exists in situations when it looks cool. Like when you receive damage or zoom camera. But when driving, walking, aiming everything look clear. I just thought it's the best solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GODzillaGSPB Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Why these dumb smileys? Why this dumb quote? Seriously: 1.) He said it will take some time to take the screenshots. So these smilies are placeholders. No he never said that, so how do I know it? I have brain. 2.) Please dudes, nobody should quote the whole first post. It's too big and messes up the topic. Think --> post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLI Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I really love TWEAK5! to me that motionblur is realistic, no damn DOF messing up the feeling and smooth shadows. all I needed to be able to enjoy this game even more! even if it lags I can tell what speed I have, lovely. big thanks to the maker of it!

GODzillaGSPB Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have a question / request: Lately I found the motion blur a little bit too much. Can it be toned down, or is there only an on/off option with the motion blur effect? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously you were happy with this tweak and now you find motion blur to high...i'm confused. You can only make motion blur on/off. And i'm not planning to make new dozen of tweaks. BTW, topic has been updated with screenshots. Thanks Thales100 Edited February 5, 2009 by bartekxyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Cheese_Man Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Quick question if I want to remove the tweak (I am currently using tweak2) and put in another one (I want to try tweak1), can I just overwrite the visualsettings.dat and rage_postfx. files?

Previously you were happy with this tweak and now you find motion blur to high...i'm confused. ... I also noticed an increase of motion blur, but I think it's related with the latest game update (1.0.2.0), not with the tweak itself. Regardless, this is definitely the best graphic enhancement I've tried so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) bartek, I have to say, great job on the first post. R* should give you some sort of finders fee. Oh yeah, pictures on tweak 7 are broken. Also, one minor suggestions (a bit late now ) but you should have put the info/install instructions in a readme file and bundle it with tweaks.
