[GTAIV|REL|BETA] ENBSeries graphic modification

[H1Vltg3]

I don't think there is a fix for the taxi issue with modded cars. My assumption is that is that the modded cars take more memory, so there is less memory for varying traffic.

 

Has anyone tried it using 6-8gb of ram?

I have 6GB ram installde and have that traffic problem. Almost all traffic cars are Taxis. I think its the half assed car pack I downloaded because some of the taxis are on high suspension so turning corners at high speed results in the car rolling over.

So who actually wants to talk about ENB here?

So who actually wants to talk about ENB here?

Theres 239 pages of nobody talking about ENB here then? What a waste of a thread.

nice shots Haints amazing mind sharing them?

Those are of my set, you can download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?wzt3nzommjy

Hi I just downloaded your files and looking at your commandline file I noticed (-disableimposters) in it.

 

What does it do as I never saw that command before.

 

OK I found what it does : -disableimposters - turn of the imposter rendering for vehicles.

However I still don't get it loll

 

Thanks

In other words, the very low detail cars you see in the distance.

[H1Vltg3]

Just to stop all the confusion with the commandline.txt being in the pack, I removed it and reuploaded so it will not cause any problems.

Ahhh ok I get it now, the blue grayish grainy cars in the distance.

@wonderblunt: nah I think people will do fine with what you just posted ;-)

[Peteman990]

First post here, just wanted to say the work is appreciated by all you modders doing this for free. With that said, I am stuck looking at all these nice screenshots till (if ever?) the new ENB version comes out for the new patch 1.06. Steam version, so can't revert unfortunately.

 

I'll most likely continue following this thread, hopefully less drama and more screens, LOL.

 

@DKT - Screens look phenomenal. I will be looking forward to some sort of release! Also, what is the name of that song in your video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmxfN4p2SU .

 

You said this music isn't around anymore, well hell not on the sh*tty radio in the Washington DC area. Some stuff similar to what you posted (although, I like the song on your video more, it has more techno to it than "atmospheric" music. Real chill sh*t tho.) is Zero 7, I Am Jen, Boozoo Bajour, Morcheeba (these are just insanely chill, Boozoo is really cool/kinda trippy. Make sure you get "Keep Going" by Boozoo Bajou, A lot of trance music I could name not sure if you like that stuff. Got me interested after hearing that song in your vid tho that I haven't heard it. Who is it?

DKT70--I was ready to tear into you after LargeStyle's last post, but your response caught me completely by surprise. I thought you would be hostile towards him but instead you reacted with decency and empathy. I know you probably don't care, and that's fine, but you have earned my respect.

 

 

You see, I'm not the person you really think I am, even though I bite more than most. Call it Britishness, if you will.

 

Lets all hope we can ALL get on from now on, and stop with this silly bickering. I would keep sending him a PM until he responds, hopefully he'll at least listen to you rather than me.

I got a lot of respect for the bloke, and I really didn't know his circumstances, so it connected with me in some way when he mentioned his current financial situation and current life.

 

I have sent LargeStyle two PMs and an email, but so far, nothing. No response. Looks like he was serious about leaving the forum. I do hope he changes his mind.

 

I had said I was going to post some screens of his set, a work-in-progress (now never to be completed?), and I'm going to go ahead and do that, I guess as a kind of farewell ...

Wow . Not sure if it just the resolution you used, your monitor and it's contrast ratio or ability to display colors well but WOW. Those are THE BEST screens I have seen of this game so far. That looks amazing. I sure hope he/she comes back to finish. If that is 1/5 complete, then I am at a loss of words, looks amazing. Colors are crisp, the city just looks very nice and clear. It's the shots that show the road and the city ahead it looks spectacular.

I'm sure LargeStyle would appreciate your comments. I know he always welcomed feedback.

 

My monitor's contrast ratio and ability to display colors ... I think you might have misspoken, or didn't fully think that comment through. My monitor has nothing to do with how the screen looks to you (unless you have broken into my house and are looking over my shoulder right now). You are seeing the image on your monitor, not mine. But I agree with you on how amazing the shots are. And they look even better in their original 1920x1080 resolution (I shrunk them down a little in order to post them on the forum). As to whether LargeStyle will come back and finish his set, I kind of doubt it, but I hope so.

 

Thanks again for your comment.

Sure no problem. I did indeed misspeak, or my mind was just a little blown from those shots. Not sure why I was thinking that the screens had to do with the user who took the shots computer. Makes no sense, and I am very well versed with computers so that came from, well I have no idea. Some foreign part of the brain that has yet to be tapped into, and from the looks of it I don't WANT to tap into that part of the brain as it seems rather retarded for lack of a more politically correct word.

 

Anyhow, if your reading this LargeStyle you should come back and work on your mod. It looks spectacular, and I'm sure many, many others agree with me. I for one would love to use it, and your buds here will miss you. Come on back and mod to your hearts content .

That command line could just be what I need. I will try it later on when I have some more free time.

@DKT70 : Well, excuse me if i'm topic, but you do know why my game is stretched when i play with ENB?

Maybe this helps (I'm asking for disabling shadows filtering since 3 days and nobody answers). Look at the enbseries.ini file in the [ENGINE] section. There you have a boolean value called "ForceDisplaySize". Turn it to false if it's true, and the same with "ForceAntialiasing". Tell me if it works, if it doesn't I'll share my settings with you if you want. Have luck!!

Thanx buddy, i'll try

Those are some of the best images I've seen in this 240 page topic I really wish we could get our hands on the settings !!! How well does it run on your system?

[number 1]

hi guys,

 

i wanna from you to see my screen shots tell me your opinion and Criticism i used enb sora 0.79 and visuals 1.5 timecycle and i edited and visualSettings and the shaders from haints (thanks to him)

but of course i've problems with 3 weather types drizzle (i want it with sun like yours) and lighting is too dark with fog and the raining is little darker with fog i tried to change it to remove the fog but i couldn't i don't know how and second problems the rain particle i can't see the rain or the drops fall around niko

and performance i got smooth fps from 17 to 52 in different area but atleast without cutting like before

so please guys i need your help and thanks alot

Those are very nice screens. I didn't see anything to criticize in any of them. Did you include any shots of the problems you are having?

 

As for those problems--have you tried tweaking the timecyc.dat with EditIV? See this thread here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=414463

If that seems too complicated you can always just cut and paste specific weather patterns/times from timecyc.dats you like, and then replace the problem weathers/times in your current timecyc.dat with those. I would use notepad+ for this.

 

As for getting feedback--it is not easy to get much if any feedback on these forums. I think it might be harder to get feedback without including screenshots in your post--or, at least post thumbnails users can see to get some sense of what your screens look like. Again, I liked your screens a lot, but I'm not sure how many users are going to bother to click on a blind link. I would post again with actual screens.

 

Hope that helps.

thanks man i took you advice and i will try it

Hehe, yes. I'm glad it works with 15 Fps. Sometimes it lags (not often), but it's playable!

Maybe because i'm using AMD Fusion and AM2 Boost on my Motherboard and running Window 7 32 Bit. I don't know.

[emacrack]

Does VisualIV makes any visual or perfomance difference using it with ENB?? And Haints, PLEASE SHARE THOSE SETTINGS!!!!!!!
