Anyone know how to play GTA IV with Xfire on?

[Black_D]

Black_D

PNG is unsupported, only BMP file format.

 

 

Ok,thank you for warning..

[SCARFACE1991]

Sky looks unbelievably real. thank you Boris. But is the effect.txt not supported anymore?

[Threepwood]

Tho I did not yet find out how to get a blue clear sky with very tiny white clouds for "sunny", I am pretty much happy with my actual sky

I think you can just rename PNG to BMP. Try it, anyway.

[haints]

 

If you think you see jpeg artifacts while using a sharp filter, then you're a bigger knobsack than Haints.

 

You are such a pussy. Touched a nerve, did I? Still overly sensitive, I see. Must be very, very hard to go through life like that, unable to take any criticism whatsoever. Oh, and I love how you will only take your little potshots at me by responding to other people's posts. How cowardly.

Boris: for me I think this "old" effect.txt caused the Alt+Tab problem, without it, I can switch between desktop+gtaIV: http://www.mediafire.com/?uvddjnj2dmm

 

 

DKT: can you please release a sharpen only effect.txt? Sharpening works with latest ENB but after Alt+Tab I can't return to GTAIV and this file might cause the problem. Thx!

 

 

Others: after testing some cloud textures, I'm totally back to no cloud textures, Boris did a great job and I love the way it works. Cloud textures stay at the same spot all day. Also, I'm using my typical enb settings just with the great cloud effects.

[Glumok]

Heu no, it's not that easy

 

I guess ENB uses BMP because it is uncompressed. PNG is in some way compressed.

So you need a true BMP file.

Really. Lets look at your last few hours of posting shall we ?

 

 

I already did, and they are better than yours. Asshole. You might as well be a spammer, for all the good you do this forum.

 

As well as the rest of your sad little posts in that thread, Do you feel a man now, after attacking someone because they're what, a "Foreigner", and can't speak English, so you think it's cool to attack someone for that ?

 

Oh, look, he didn't share his settings

 

 

Like you have some sort of "Divine" right to his settings. The only reason you want him to share is because you are simply to thick to do this yourself. You simply mix and match other people's settings and play a game of , "Ohh, look at them pretty pictures, lets see what this does".

 

I bet you poke fun at paraplegics, and the disabled because they have problems walking, just like Eryk03 has with English. f*cking Knobsack.

 

 

 

DKT: can you please release a sharpen only effect.txt? Sharpening works with latest ENB but after Alt+Tab I can't return to GTAIV and this file might cause the problem. Thx!

 

If you really want a sharpen only, then let me know, but only if you really want this, because I'm getting a little fed up with the jibes from idiots like Knobsack. And is there any moderation left on this forum ?

I'd love to have it! I was using the one above ever since it's out but had some problems with later versions with hue/gamma/blueshift etc... I'm only using the sharpen.

DKT70:

I don't know if you need it, this code for effect.txt produce dynamic noise for dark areas, may be useful for grain effect (someone told here about it).

 

float origgray=max(origcolor.x, origcolor.y);//dot(origcolor.xyz, 0.333);

origgray=max(origgray, origcolor.z);

coord.xy=IN.txcoord.xy*16.0 + origgray;

float4 cnoi=tex2Dlod(SamplerNoise, coord);

float NoiseAmount=0.6;

res=lerp(origcolor, cnoi.x*origcolor, NoiseAmount*saturate(1.0-origgray*1.8));

 

BTW i don't know what happened between you and others, but i respect your work and suggest to ignore persons if they are bothering, i have such problem and just sending them to black list, instead trying to chat.

So you're a liar now too? I never attacked anyone for being a "foreigner". You just made that up. Oh and I love how you post a picture of a crying baby--real original--and then go crying for a mod. Your are back to your usual pattern. Take a cheap shot, then when someone fires back--go running for a mod. Pussy.

 

Oh, and as long as you want to play the "quote game," these two from you, directed at two other people on the forum, are pure gems:

 

This is DicKT70, talking to AngryAmoeba

 

Remind me again, you are ?

Oh, wait, thats it, nobody important.

 

 

And here is DickT70, talking to OwenWilson

 

I'm in a completely different league to you, I'm doing things nobody else has even remotely come close to, not even close.

 

 

DickT70--you are modding someone else's mod. You're not curing cancer. You aren't creating something wholly original. You think that makes you better than every one else here? More important? Pathetic. You must be a very small person in real life, if you have to puff yourself up so much on an internet forum.

Yeah, thanks, I'll have a play with that a bit later.

Boris, this was my original noise code, but it worked on light and dark, but not well with HDR light due to the increased contrast.

It's missing most of the main code, I just wanted to post the Grain code to see what you thought.

 

 

BTW i don't know what happened between you and others, but i respect your work and suggest to ignore persons if they are bothering, i have such problem and just sending them to black list, instead trying to chat.

 

I don't think this forum has a block feature, does it ? Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place. Thanks for the suggestion.

Give me about 15mins and I'll put up a couple for you to try. One Sharpen only, and another without hue or blue shift, but with calmer HDR settings, so no over-bright areas, hopefully.

[DKT70]

Ok, Bone, if you want to try these out , here you go, Sharpen only, and toned-down HDR + Sharpen only

BTW, The effect.txt file seems to be not working with the latest ENB, will have to speak to Boris about that one. I couldn't get any of the values to work after just testing them, although they work in the last 0.77b release.

DKT70:

I did an update with working effect.txt (it was disabled when i fix ALT+TAB), reload the mod from enbdev.com

The noise shader you have will not be dynamic, because i did not any kind of timer definition in effect.txt. I actually reading some color of the screen to make the noise "movable", because it's rare to see absolutely static unchanged colors. For example:

//sample two pixels anywhere (may be one only, but better randomization with 2 or more), uv for second texel may be dynamically generated from color1.

float4 color1=tex2D(SamplerColor, float2(0.5, 0.5));

float4 color2=tex2D(SamplerColor, float2(0.3, 0.3));

float randomnoise=frac(color1.x*256.0);

randomnoise=frac(color2.x*256.0*randomnoise);

[haints]

Thanks, BuGG!

[arthurc]

Is there a way to get those clouds without enb ? it laggs my game but i love those clouds... So if someone know how to do it or if Boris would be able to make a version with only clouds on i would be grateful

[Glumok]

 

Is there a way to get those clouds without enb ?

Hmmm, maybe try to set everything to the lowest quality (bloom, reflections, ...) and turn off all you can (as AmbientOcclusion, for instance) and keep the sky part only ?

 

 

OK MY BAD, it wasn't my cloud texture who was used, I don't know why...

So, this one is the one who comes with the new ENB, I believe ?

 

 

 

[OFFTOPIC]

@ boris and DKT70: guys, I do really appreciate your hard work, Boris you are the man for sure, and you DKT70 I'm each time amazed how great your settings are, I'm glade to be able to talk to such talented modders.

But, to be honest, I've got a problem about your anger with Rockstar and how they did GTA IV. Why always yelling at them ? Why not just take it easy and say "hey, GTA IV is a great game, we can even mod it! But I guess I can do something different, even make it more beautiful, why not? After that, we will all be dancing in a prairie, smoking some crack and maybe have some sex, all naked!"

 

My point is just be happy to have such a great game and have the ability to modifiy it to your own taste, and make people happy with your work!

Many thanks for that, I'll grab the update in a moment.

I see how you made the noise dynamic, or at least to my very limited shader knowledge, I see.

I was looking through some shader examples, around the net, of Perlin Noise, where they used various octaves of coherent noise in different stages for each or their examples, then calculated frequency and amplitude for each octave. Stage 1 looked like clouds, while stage 8 looked like grain noise, but all the effects were static, I couldn't find a way to make them dynamic.

[GTAdedan]

Those clouds look really epic Gorgeprofonde, I really love it

[DKT70]

No luck with loading the effect file using the very last version you uploaded, Boris.

 

Got some fairly decent clouds working on Sunny-Windy

I tried bus still lags and makes effects ? everything 0 , 0.0 or false but still got lighting that makes my game sh*t ... if i replace texture in skydome it will be same ? ( i mean texture )

[noelgamo]

Weird...People how many of yous have the black screen after alt-tab...(just wondering cause it works for me..Im even editing timecyc+ini at the same time while game is running)

[DKT70]

Nope, fine here. The only thing I occasionally get is after a couple of hours of alt-tabbing, editing inis and timecyc files, all in the same session, I start to lose direct lighting making all light on buildings/roads/cars/people black, so I have to wait for maybe 30 seconds for the light to come back.

I take it, many here are having complete black screens, and not just lighting ?

 

 

nice i wait ur final version with all files

 

Thanks, I'm not using any effect file as it's not working with current ENB, so I will finish 2 versions and put them both up. Should get this one done by tomorrow.
