Hello again,

 

I 've reinstalled the game and applied patch 1.0.4.0!

But when I clicked 'start" at the game it said load failed, starting new game..

What should I do?

 

 

Great pics as always dpeasant especially the one at the alley..

[Scrush]

i had the same probleme few days ago. i think it was the save folder ( windowslive )

 

i deleted the folder an started a new game. gta 4 automatically created a new folder. i copied my saves in the new folder.

pspuser007, i dont think this question belongs here. u should ask this in the PC performance section. it has more ppl that can help.

 

Depeasant, nice! ddo u think u can use Photoshop to raise the light sprites up a bit so they sit right on top of the light source? maybe if u change their position in the file itself than they all move up a bit in game.

what file has the sprites in it? maybe i will try it myself with the existing files of other ENB packages.

 

also, u think u r ready to release the current setting u r using? it's the weekend and u figured u'd be able to do it

 

QUESTION FOR EVERYONE - in many settings of ENB i get a pitch black nights. if i play on day time and use a trainer to go to 22:00 than night looks great at first and than slowly it goes darker and darker until it's so dark its impossible to see across the street.

is there anything i can do to make the game stay as bright as it is the second i switch to night time?

turning adaptation off creates a black screen with HUD on it. hardly what im looking for.

 

 

[Scrush]

this?

 

evening - night

 

 

[topeira]

this?

 

evening - night

 

well, when I enable ENB i cant see diddly squat during the night. way WAY too dark.

playing around with adaptation wither makes night time bright and nice but it makes day time way too bright and over-exposed or day time is goodd but night is too dark.

 

i cant figure out a way to make night time look brighter. the way night looks on YOUR screen is much better than how night time looks on MY enb.

[Dpeasant3]

To brighten up the night you can severly decrease this line

AdaptationMin=

It depends on the timecyc, so experiment. Do not touch the next line, it controls the brightness of the bright surfaces.

Oh, and as ive said before, adaptation do not works correctly with real-time duration.

Youve asked me about the lights, but its impossible to do only through texture. Check Leftwood and see that even in vanilla GTA the sprite is positioned INCORRECTLY. Its a game bug, you can only fix it by changing the model of that streetlamp, or by messing with lamppost.ide, wich contains enormous amount of unknown values(ive managed to edit it to change lamp light colour from very yellow to more whitish to match my settings. I will experiment further, but its very hard and i dont have enough time).

And no, im not ready to release them, cause i didnt have enough time for editing. I will have spare time only on Sunday and Saturday evening, unfortunately.

@Dpeasant3

Nights looks too blueish.

@Dpeasant3

Nights looks too blueish.

Actually, i know that. I did it on purpose and ive already stated that. I like it that way, if you want realism, you can use Reality IV or something like that.

I just don't like the colors of the cars. Seem fake. I just love the rest. The environment settings are great.

[geokes]

Yes, its this line. I forgot that i had to change the code for the .fx file im using.

___________________________________________________________

I halted the process of making my own timecyc, and ported reality 1.1 timecyc to match my settings. Heres what i have:

SCREENS

These screens kinda look like mafia 2 .

[3lajitz]

Hey Nice pics! really lovely!..

When will you settings be released

 

[Dani79]

Yep im looking forward to your release too, Dpeasant3!

I love the whole light settings and the lightsprite Texture is great too

Very colorful!

default enbeffect.fx?

[Dpeasant3]

Yeah, looks good indeed. Maybe after ill release current settings, ill switch to something as colourfull as your work, Scrush. I like that you have good colours and dark shadows at the same time(and the environment is not dark itself, as when we set colorpow too high)

Only one note, dont listen to it if you dont want, though: I suggest adding a little fog for distant buildings, so that city will look less flat(first screen has some fogging in the distance, this is what i mean).

Ps To some idiots who steal screenshots and then post them as their own on other forums: guys, this is stupid, as you post screens without having the settings themselves, what will you do, if people will ask for YOUR settings? Search for something to steal again? I dont care if you will use my settings and CHANGE them for your own taste, but let us not act like sh*t and give others screen for their own. The software is freeware, but at least give credit where its due. If I use Dkts timecyc, I state this, and i will give credit to all people, whose work Im using(Im talking about gp65cj04 for his Dof effect and Dkt for his colour filter and timecyc). I hope those people, who do this, will understant whom im talking about.

some update:

 

[isamu99]

Hello. some questions:

 

1)Does the ENBSeries work with patch 7 yet?

 

2)Does it work with Steam version?

 

3)How much of a performance hit on framerate can I expect? I am currently getting around 40-50fps with most settings on medium.

1 Answer : This question has been asked 100000x times, Answer is for me it works, most people it doesnt work on patch 7,

2 Answer : Not sure, but probably

3 Answer : Depends of the settings, some settings you lose FPS And some you gain,

[3lajitz]

Just testing some mixed settings

 

Its works pretty fine in EFLC and GTA IV but i can't get the shadows to work!..

I use EFLC patch2 and in IV patch 7

works just fine for me! (Eye candy)
