So why there is no tweak that softens the shadows and has DOF too? monocle.gif

Just download both archives and use visualsettings.dat from tweak3.rar and rage_postfx.fxc from tweak2.rar

OK, just for reference, how many different files are there?

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

biggrin.gif Does this make any sense? I think these should be all possibilities.

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

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.

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 tounge.gif

 

I agree about your other tweak suggestions though

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.

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

I just messed around with it a bit more, seems the intense blur is only there when I move the camera while parked, but it's fine everywhere else.

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

Why this dumb quote? tounge2.gif 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. biggrin.gif

 

2.) Please dudes, nobody should quote the whole first post. It's too big and messes up the topic. Think --> post. wink.gif

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!

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. smile.gif

Motion blur has the same value as in others tweaks. 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

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? (I still have the original ones saved as .OLD.)

Thanks for the quick response. I love this tweak, no performance increase/loss but it just makes the game look nicer.

...

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. icon14.gif

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 biggrin.gif) but you should have put the info/install instructions in a readme file and bundle it with tweaks.

GTAForums has limit of 12 pictures in one post so last two screenshots can't be displayed
