[GTAIV|REL|BETA] ENBSeries graphic modification

[icelaglace]

Approved again..

 

These settings are not done guys okay? Thank you i'm sick of repeating myself.

 

It won't look that good on your computer for some people

 

Tweak it like you want

 

You can revert back to your old ENB by just replacing the DLL , that's why i renamed all the files.

 

Oh and yeah I have permissions from Boris , i'm not a stupid reverse engineering bastard.

[Phil45]

not pics, so ill just leave this here

Hey DP3, when are you going to grace us with your newest settings?

 

btw: Why have you gone to those Oblivion looking trees as of late? The old one's looked more real, imho.

 

Keep up the amazing work

I noticed in some sets the specular values will make it through, but the reflections are turned to a matte in direct sunlight. Do any of the pro's know exactly why that is? In the black_d sets in my sig, in direct sunlight rims and reflections reacted exactly the same as in the shadow, or during "Cloudy."

what color are u using for (ambient1/direct) on sunny weather (yellow/orange/brown)????

try using dark gray color/soft blue color and (yellow/orange/brown) on color correction TAB, and check also on your sun multiplier maybe way to high.

I asked in the other topic but no one responded.

How do you get the chrome as seen here?

 

 

Oh and BTWz, what are light shafts and Lens flares in iCEnhancer?

Without a QuadCore your game will always be bottlenecked from your CPU. It´s that simple. No way out.

Your GFX card is also not the best. Dual GPU systems aren´t well supported by the game. Better is one strong GPU.

 

I use Q8200 and GTX460, a good team.

Technically the 4870x2 is 2 cards put into one but yeah I notice the game doesn't like running in Crossfire mode. It actually runs worse so I have to turn it off.

 

Thanks for the info, I think I will buy a Q9550 soon. I was thinking the Q9650 but only difference I have seen is 200MHz speed boost.

Bother the CPU. But don´t forget the GFX card.

I suppose you´ll not benefit much of a strong CPU but with the same old card.

When you upgrade the CPU, you probably have to upgrade the GPU, too otherwise your bottleneck might come back vice versa.

Better buy a medium quadcore and a medium card instead of one good thing and one to forget. A balanced system might be better than a CPU or GPU lasting config.

Use patch 1.0.4 for this and no other.

As it´s designed for this patch you are not able to play EfLC cause for this you´ll need 1.0.6 or 1.0.7.

Bullsh*t, see my latest screens. I AM on patch 7.

[chasez]

Works for EFLC too. Btw you all loose pretty much because EFLC is better than IV.

[[GwM]Chavez]

daamn !

@ icelaglace your files are amazing ! thanks for that ! I always wanted such atmosphere ingame !

 

pictures coming soon...

In what context is it better? I can't discover anything that's better.

[Threepwood]

Its the same discussion like NVidia vs ATI. Senseless, each site sees its own advantages. I for myself love IV P7, it just feels better. And has more addon cars possibilities. Red Sky bug is avoidable, EflC has sky diving, etc etc. Patch 1.0.4 is supported by ENB, but P7 can do that as well.

Personally I don't miss anything from Patch 4. If the community has had supported Boris more for P7, and sicne his argument of "a new Patch will destroy my ENB again" is obsolete, we could have ENB for P7 as well, I am pretty sure.

 

But however, any Patch discussion is done, old, and boring.

 

Can anyone tell me where I can edit the sun size at 5,6,7 am? Is that a timecyc thing?

OH MY GOD!! THANK YOU SOH MUCH!!

short presentation how icelaglace files works in my game:

 

[mateus560276]

I tried a lot of ENB settings from this thread but all are looking ugly (too bright, too dark, lighting is wrong, very powerful colors) on my system. I don't know why. I have the latest drivers from nVidia and I have a fresh install of GTA IV (with xlive.dll). What can I do to solve this problem?

[ALien8ed]

Sensational work and i must admit this mod looks simply stunning.

 

Many thanks for sharing your talent with us icelaglace, it's very much appreciated. Props to all the others involved aswell...

 

Just got a quick question in relation to this mod. When running wihout antialiasing all is nice and sharp, as soon as i enable it via the "ForceAntialiasing" option the image is constantly blurry. Is there a specific option that needs to be disabled in order to have the image also look nice and sharp with Antialiasing enabled?.

 

Im not all that switched on as far as ENB goes so any advice would be very much appreciated.

 

Cheers...

awesome Chavez

[Threepwood]

 

Halp, please? Huge giant sun am and pm (see clock in the corner), is that a timecyc problem?

[Outlaw_daz]

Hi. Ive just downloaded and installed ices settings but they look odd and grainey on my pc. I reinstalled the game and updated to 1.0.4.0 patch. If anyone can help i be very thankful.

 

 

Sorry about big pic ;P i remember to change down size in future.

[Jakshi]

Wow, I just wanted to say thanks to iceglace for the awesome settings.

But there's a tiny bit bothering me. How can I adjust or disable the dynamic dof? I like the dof lpf posted some pages ago better because I think static dof suites GTA IV better than dynamic. Regarding adjustment it would be interesting to know how to change the "pixelbox" which is used as reference for dof calculation. I would like to make the box bigger so the dof doesn't change at every object in the middle of the screen.

Sorry about big pic ;P i remember to change down size in future.

wtf?!

you can remember it from this time and fix it.

hosting pics at abload.de, imagebam.com?

 

btw. you should probably change this:

[ENVIRONMENT]

DirectLightingIntensity=1.0 to 0.5 or less..

or here

DirectLightingCurve=1.0 to 2.0 or more..

 

Threep, I had the same thing in sunny/windy from 21:01 till 5:00 o'clock.

I guess that's a timecyc.dat bug

[Threepwood]

Yea kthx, use my previous timecyc now, its lot more better.

I have problem i installed ices setting as is in txt file extract CEnhancerLensFlare but i have no flares in game

[[GwM]Chavez]

I have problem i installed ices setting as is in txt file extract CEnhancerLensFlare but i have no flares in game

you have to use his .dll file

that means that you have to install all his files.

I made it and I see now the beautiful DOF, sunflare etc effects

 

@ Outlaw, well.. if there are still some bugs, just ask him, maybe he knows how to help you.

as I said when I have ingame to much brightlight/ bloomlightning etc. I always change this:

 

[bLOOM]

Radius1=

Radius2=

 

[ENVIRONMENT]

DirectLightingIntensity=

DirectLightingCurve=

 

 

or check this. make the value here smaller for example:

[sKYLIGHTING]

AmbientSkyMix=2.0 >>> 1.0 or 0.6 and smaller

[Peggio]

Everything looks beautiful in Icelaglace config except for that reddish atmosphere during night time

Install filecheckfix and all this stuff.

Your GTA4 is not loading the timecyc at all.

I guess huh? I'm not that sure. It looks way too bright it's weird..

[ThEpLaYeR001]

to reduce the bloom in Icenhancer I have to modify icebloom.fx?

[j3smoove]

@Peggio

color correction

[[GwM]Chavez]

to reduce the bloom in Icenhancer I have to modify icebloom.fx?

not always... I remember the times when I used DKT70's files

and in the mornings everything was white !!

it was a waaaaay to bright so I reduced this:

 

[ENVIRONMENT]

DirectLightingIntensity=2.0 to 0.3

DirectLightingCurve=1.0 to 2.0

 

after this the graphics was looking much better but still it was to bright for me.

I guess it's a timecyc.dat bug ... but I am not good in editing this file with EditIV
