Ultimate Graphics Tweak

I'm to lazy to update first page and archives:p Few days ago I was trying to make real transparency instead of dotted and jaggy one but I failed... There is one texture responsible for edges... I made transparent version but game rejected it and there were no edges at all lol, it was ugly,believe me...

Then try this mod!

It removes the very ugly far detail textures!

Wow. This tweak is awesome! I used tweak1 on 1.0.3.0 and it's SO much nicer! I'm loving the motion blur! biggrin.gif It also doesn't seem to impact my framerate hardly at all! Very very nice. I've got all the settings maxed at 1920x1200, and it runs smooth as butter.

 

Here's some shots of the results of the in-game benchmark. I just noticed how the game misidentifies my CPU. tounge.gif It's actually an overclocked core i7. Oh and I don't know why vsync is on. I must have forgotten to disable it again when I was playing with the settings the other day.

I know what is this. It's very simple to do. But I want transparency on edges

Bartekxyz,that mod what MetalLord linked:Are you supposed to lose FPS after you apply the modification?I'm thinking on using it but someone on there said he lost FPS.What do you know about this?

Not at all. Just don't expect wonders as this mod = no transparency on edges at all. And... don't listen to people as my tweak was also reported as framerate-drop responsible which is pure bs.

@bartekxyz>>> what I should do first: instal your mod and environmentalmod and replace files?

Great mod! I have been using 1.2 patch for ages with this mod and just finally decided to upgrade to 1.3. I never noticed until now that in the 1.3 patch everything is about 10 times better quality and along with this mod a tad smoother. Man I've been missing out this whole time. As soon as that new script hook for 1.3 comes out a lot of us die hard 1.2ers are going to be amazed.

What should i change to disable on-foot motion blur? especially when getting shot.

i tried to just nullify all the aim/damage parameters but it only made it worse.

i'm talking about these:

 

# cam.aimweapon.blur.zoom	0	0.10	0.00	0.1cam.aimweapon.blur.zoom.x	0  	cam.aimweapon.blur.zoom.y	0.10  	cam.aimweapon.blur.zoom.z	0.00  	cam.aimweapon.blur.zoom.w	0.1  	# cam.aimweapon.blur.damage	1	10.00	0.00	0.00cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.x	0  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.y	10.00  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.z	0.00  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.w	0.5  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.time	1000  	cam.aimweapon.blur.interp	0.05  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.attacktime	0.1  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.decaytime	0.3  	cam.aimweapon.blur.cap	1

 

 

any help there?

These values are responsible for damage when aiming:

 

 

cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.x	0  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.y	10.00  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.z	0.00  	cam.aimweapon.blur.damage.w	0.5

 

 

These are responsible for overall motion blur while on foot:

 

cam.followped.blur.beta.x	0  	cam.followped.blur.beta.y	30  cam.followped.blur.beta.z	0  	cam.followped.blur.beta.w	5

 

 

These lines are responsible for blur while you receive damage while not aiming:

 

cam.followped.blur.damage.x	0  	cam.followped.blur.damage.y	10.00  	cam.followped.blur.damage.z	0.00  	cam.followped.blur.damage.w	0.025

 

 

And now... x at the end is initial MB value, y is end value, z is additional MB and w is maximal strenght of MB.

well, i actually have a problem with it, i dont know if it's normal or i'm doing something wrong.

i've chosen the tweak1, i replaced all the files (making back-ups, of course) and then started the game. It works fine, there are no crashes and it looks better, but i can see something like blue "waves" moving on buildings, cars and people, even on niko. why?

um. when the definition is set to off, the motion blur is on. when definition is set to on, the motion blur is off. when you install this mod, simply put definition to off, or simply click "p" to switch between the option for definition.

 

and the reason its blurry is because you probably haven't even installed the mod yet, so you have the default motion blur, which blurs everything.

 

hope that helps.

Hi,

 

i installed the tweak 3 like the tutorial

 

 

1. Unpack chosen archive wherever you want

 

2. Go to ..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Data\ and rename visualsettings.dat as visualsettings.OLD.dat

 

3. Copy visualsettings.dat from unpacked archive to ..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Data\

 

4. There is a rage_postfx.fxc file in following folders:

..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Shaders\win32_30_atidx10

..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Shaders\win32_30_low_ati

..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Shaders\win32_30_nv6

..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Shaders\win32_30_nv7

..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Shaders\win32_30_nv8

..\Grand Theft Auto IV\Common\Shaders\win32_30

Rename this file in every folder to rage_postfx.OLD.fxc then copy file rage_postfx.fxc from unpacked archive to each of these folders

 

5. Play the game (set "definition" to off in graphics options or just press "p" while in game)

 

then i installed the GTA4 Enviroment mod

 

i replaced all files except the rage_postfx.fxc in the folders above.

i created a commandline.txt file and placed them in the main folder of GTA (i use the steam version). i copied following in the commandline

 

-renderquality 4

-shadowdensity 16

-texturequality 2

-shadowresolution 1024

-shadowquality 4

-reflectionquality 4

-reflectionresolution 1024

-waterreflectionquality 5

 

i start the game normal (it is not necessary to do anything else with the commandline.txt, right?) and if i press "p" in the game the graphic looks great but then the motion blur effect is activated and no DoF is activated although i used the tweak 3 (Depth Of Field and Smooth Shadows)

 

what did i wrong? is it not possible to use this 2 tweaks with the steam version? did i something wrong with the commandline.txt?

 

Please - can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot!

I prefer Tweak 7. It smoothens shadows (Xbox360 style) and leaves the other stuff intact.

You can choose Tweak 3 if you want Depth of Field aswell, it makes the gaps between eg leaves et more 'creamier'.

are the files build on the shader files of patch 1.3 or from the second ,because form the third original shader files are much faster than these ones ! ^^

This is so awsome. After few tests I realized there is NO FPS drop or very minimal 1-5%. For me with 22 FPS, the game still ran with that even if I was driving a fast car and was shaking camera on purpose.

 

So great, so fun and a really nice sense of speed.

 

PS I downloaded tweak 1, without shadows.
