kriller2 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) GTA Environment mod What this mod does: - All weather types edited for every hour of the day to create a better realistic environment. - New shadow calculation and sun reflecions. - Gradient sky for sunny and extra sunny with no clouds, - Added realistic fog for rain, drizzle and foggy. - New cloud texture and stipple texture. - Better water reflection and colour. - All trees edited to match the environment. - Compatible with the ultimate graphic tweak with and without DOF/motion blur. - Easy install and uninstall Further development and support of this mod has been stopped. Video from version 5 drizzle weather: Download Use gtagarage further down this page or one of these mirrors: GTA environment mod 5 full (megaupload) GTA environment mod 5 full (rapidshare) To use this mod with the new patch 1.5 "1.0.0.4" You first need to make the game "moddable". Download ASI loader and FilecheckFix and copy the files "dsound.dll" and "FileCheckFix.asi" to the place your GTA.exe is located. Remember to backup everything you replace! Download full mod from above and install it, then download and install the hotfix from below: Env mod 5 hotfix for patch 1.0.0.4 Env mod 5 hotfix for patch 1.0.0.4 (rapidshare mirror) For best visuals set your display settings to 50% brightness, 20% contrast and 100% saturation after install. Bugs: Sometimes a line will appear between the horizont and the water when looking at the sea from high above. Using a trainer and swithing the "weather type" to sunny windy 2 can create strange things at nighttime. This shouldn't be a problem if you don't use a trainer!

kriller2 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 looks pretty cool, when will you release it? Thanks. I still have alot of work to do, because the engine uses all the different weathersettings "extra sunny", "sunny", "cloudy", "Windy", "Rain" etc. and then blend between them to get new weather effects, so if I adjust one thing suddenly alot of other things are affected... Will post when progress is made , right now im trying to get the cloudy settings to not look like everything have a grey colour applied to it.

kriller2 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Little progress made with the cloudy settings? I wanted to edit the settings so that you still can see the different shades of colours, but with a cloudy tone aplied to the overall scene without everything turns grey.

quechus13 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Nice Does anybody have tried ENB series mod with GTA IV it will sure look crazy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okei Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have read that it doesn't work. GTA IV barely runs well as it is, I wouldn't imagine using a graphics modification with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriller2 Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Thank you for the comments, this mod is now ready for you to try! Alot of changes have been made to the visualsettings file improving how the light reflects on both cars, peds and the city and with how much power the different light effects in game shoul glow in.

diboze Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 for me it doesnt look very realistic. You took away most of the bloom. Ok the amount R* set was too much. But without bloom, it just looks like gta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriller2 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Okay Diboze I hear you so I have increased the bloom and made it work with the Crysis tweak blur. Is this better?

kriller2 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 The crysis tweak blur is this one: Ultimate graphic tweak The new settings needs alot of testing, because of how the developers made the environment files work in GTA4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
