FelipeVinhao Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Great job Voodooman! You brought the visual realism back to my GTA copy. Just one suggestion: you don't need to mention bartekxyz and all this story (that I took notice yesterday) on the help file and on the software "about" window. I mean, really, this mod is awesome, it can increase its popularity on this community by its own merits, don't need to mention the "failures" from the others. Otherwise, great mod. Keep the good work! Btw, a little off-topic, but since when that happened, CC - not being a mod? Damn, I've been far from community a lot...

physx20 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Lol, anywho on-topic, IMHO this tweak is better then the UGT because yeah you don't get the motion blur way too quick, and the shadows look better. RoGeR ThAt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, really, this mod is awesome, it can increase its popularity on this community by its own merits, don't need to mention the "failures" from the others. Otherwise, great mod. Keep the good work! Peoples should know their heroes , i mean real two - Klanly and Belinda, sot its not me "brought the visual realism back to your GTA copy" but they are. All i just did is created patch that delivered K&B's blur separation with fastest and most comfortable way. So af far as i c, for most patch works fine. I have seen one of you posted something about virus, its a false positive. Your antivirus is cheap crap that have signatures of packers like upx, pe2compact etc, instead of real virus signatures , and guess what? My patch is packed with one of those most or least popular packers (with a bit of customisation) that almost every hacka\cracka\reversa use So i suggest you to switch to kaspersky (which is silent as sh*t about my patch) or dr web or some other major antivirus (but to be honnest kaspersky gives less false positeves than others, norton and nod 32 as well as mcafee are known to have lot of crap non virus signature and will alert you about every crack and keygen and patch that all share same packers or patching tehnique) Someone said he have no permission or something - dude just turn off that crap UAC, it has been proven to do nothing but annoy peoples with its warnings, the only real power it have is to dissallow total noobs to accidentaly f*ck up their windows, if u aint total noob, turn that sh*t off (dont forget to copy files from VirtualStorage folder to real folders after u will turn off UAC). Or if your religion dont allow you to turn off UAC, just unpack patch into any directory and intead of direct run, right-clik on it and select "Run as Administrator" that will help you. If u didnt knew that - even if you have admin rights, when u directly run any program it do not recieve full permissions, so u should always run it like that, to avoid that right-click run as admin launch method u could set in compatibily settings of exe to allways run as administrator. One more thing - select gta 4 folder, open properties, uncheck "read only" attribute and apply for every folder and file inside gta 4 folder. One more thing - tell me, which video card you have? If that is geforce 6 or 7 than u should copy patched rage_postfx.fxc from any other folder like ati_dx10 or ati_low or nv8 to nv6 and nv7. I was trying to find out solution for gf6 and 7 specific shader but it have totaly different values so smart patches will always fail (noticed this just after release) to patch these 2 files, brute patches will patch but that will probably screw up post fx for geforce 6 and 7. But since shader from other folders isnt so crappy like gf 6 and 7 two and since that nv8 and ati shaders equal and work on geforce 6 and 7 its not that big problem, just do as i said and all will be fine. Someone reported that blur have not been removed, so i believe that user was owner of geforce 6 or 7 and should read solution above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voodooman Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) This sh*t broke my Indepence FM xD The tweak is great, better then UGT. But now my radio is broken. When I switch to IFM I don't hear anything, and if I then switch to another station, all I get is the crackle and buzz sound... =/ It cant be. Just think a little! How shader could broke your in-game mp3 player? It is just impossible, so search for reason in another place) Btw, a little off-topic, but since when that happened, CC - not being a mod? dont know since when and i dont care, but this surely proves that Whatever happening, happening for good )) Edited December 31, 2009 by Voodooman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAYERMAGGOT Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Alright i've tried this tweak, and thought i would get more FPS with it. So i gone ingame and started a new game, since i deleted my savegames accidently. I've got a average of 15 FPS, which is quite a few less FPS than before the tweak, then later ingame i got a BSOD (aka Bluescreen of Death), restarted PC, launched GTA IV again and started a new game since i got a BSOD before, after loading again a BSOD, i was so pissed off this sh*t tweak, i better play orginal IV with patch 1.04. BTW i had two car mods installed, but i tried them before the patch and never got any crash or bsod, so it's the tweak for sure, now game is f*cked up, i need a re-install.

Dude, do u have idea of what are u talking about? do u think changin 2 bytes to zero could decrease performance and BSOD you? I have 2 ideas about your post: 1) You r just dirty little lie-lover (one of those guys who dont even tried to do anything, but like to post sh*t with fake results of something they never tried). 2) You r just an idiot and the only sh*t you have exept your damaged brain is your PERSONAL CRAPuter. In this case u surely have same 15 fps without patch and have been lucky to see BSOD many times before patch . It may be f*cked up driver, lot of sh*tty codecs and crapware installed, damaged RAM, noobish registry tweaks and brute overclocking, and just 1000 of other things that usualy turn noob's pc into BSODing mashine. Just in next case, at least try to say what patch you "applied" (there are 12 of them if u didnt noticed), which os and videocard you have (ram an cpu and other specs would be also nice too see if u aint gonna act like a dick). Also before turning into dick, just try to read whole thread )) now u can stfu and gtfo or talk more gentle here and only about truth. Just to prove that your lie is lie and u fool - turning off any post process effect cannot decrease performance in any case, in fact turning off any post processed effects (like full screen blur for example) could only give performance boost, since GPU and CPU will need to **trying to say this in noob-friendly terms" do less work and will render every frame faster. U dont need to be uber-coder to understand that, all you need - just a presence of some logic in your brains. As for BSOD - should i tell u again logical explaination or u could try to find one with our own logic? oh sorry u dont have one, than ill explain: all 3 blurs that patch affects - are all in the game from begining, so this patch dont add anything into game, its not even really turning off anything, it just changing values of 1 or 2 or 3 constants to zeroes, and all these constants regulates blur radius. So game keep working as is did before, it following same instrucitons and even rendering same blured picture, i mean game perform all that bluring in same way as it did before my patch, only difference that before patch radius of blur was big and visible, with patch its 0 and sorta unvisible. So if something BSODing your PC during GTA 4 it is already in-game or on your pc and not connected patch. Yo PC just BSODing on you coz u stupid) Update: sorry for so many crap about you like "you stupid", its just a joke and my cold sence of humor triggered by your bahaviour which makes me mad, really hate when someone post nonsense like that "this sh*t f*cked me up. All damaged, all destroed. Achtung - this is sh*t". Edited January 1, 2010 by Voodooman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikt Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 HURRAY! Slayermaggot is the first to get Voodooman pissed off in 2010. But seriously, Voodooman is rite. I never had any problems with these patches, the only thing is i don't like them because they aren't compatible with ENB Series (or the other way around), but with these, everything works awesome. And is a version coming with no shadow blur? And will the next version have anual selection of what folder to use? I have 2 copies of GTA on this computert.

Murcchachosa Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 LOL, Slayermaggot succeeded in pissing off Voodooman And on January 1st 2010. A nice beginning of the new year. BSODing because of being stupid omg XD Sorry, I cant just stand it lol I get a few FPS decrease and the far distance looked blurried but the game looks nice and got avoid of the huge jaggied edges in the far distance.

WTFX Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 it's nice but i think it'd be great if the motion blur could be adjusted to be a bit less intense or sorta adjust the limit where the massive blur begins a lot higher. i drive real fast almost all the time, have used to that (even irl to some extent, but that's another story ) and the blur is way too intense. otherwise, gj.

Codify Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hmm, just downloaded this to give it a try, but came across this rather nasty piece of text in the readme file: Do not change copyrights and any content of program, dont even try do that, program is encrypted and protected from modification and will not work if any byte of code data will be changed! Who knows what routine will be initiated if program will detect Modification Have you heard about Broken\Bricked psp when some lamers from PS3news changed copyrights in Dark Alex custom firmware installer? Never heard? Google it and keep it in mind) Dont cry when all data on your HDD will be corrupted after you will change something in someone`s program, you have been warned! Even little cute angel can turn into huge ugly demon if you will try to RIP his wings! DONT RIP ANYONE AND NO ONE WILL RIP YOU So the author is openly claiming that he has written malicious subroutines to the patch which will cause damage to the end-user's system if it detects that the patch has been modified in any way. No way am I going to take the risk of installing this piece of crap - how can I trust that his 'modification check' doesn't screw up and mistakenly think the patch has been modified?

haints Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 When I try to uninstall this by replacing the shaders folder with a copy that I saved before I installed the mod--I still get the blur effects. Even when I load a copy of the ENTIRE game folder from an external hd, I STILL get the blur effects. How is that possible? The only to get rid of them is to uninstall and then reinstall the entire game from disc. I like this mod, but I would also like to be able to uninstall it ...

What i said is just stated that nobody know which routine can be initialized if program will be modified! 7) Did i said that this routine is really present in program? no! 8) Did i said what exactly this routine will do? no! 9) This routine could be only malicious and could not be just text message like "u idiot u modded my programm, shame on you" ? no! it could be even simple crash of patch and nothing dangerous (in case if it present, which is unclear because i didnt said it present)! 10) Did i said that u should not cry if you hdd data will be f*cked after you will change somethin in EXACTLY my program? No! I said it like a shared recommendation about any program, and i said exactly SOMEONE's program! and this was after i told about curious incident that happened with PSP users who modded copyrights and ripped other's works. 11) Is someone's program mean exactly mine and this program? no! 12) Did anyone of users who used patch reported here that his HDD data was corrupted? No! 13) Should i continue these session of logical questions that u should answer to yourself before u posted this sh*tty missinformation? no! So cut the crap: just f*ck off or shut up and use patch without panic! i didnt claimed anything, period. ---- haints well i think something wrong with logic of your actions. Blur is option which is present in game by default, but u cant turn it off or on (definition setting in-game DEFINITION ON mean no blur at all, DEFINITION OFF mean all blurs turned on). My patch is REMOVING 1-3 layers of all 3 available blur layers (near medium far). So when u installing patch u basically removing 1 or more layers of blur. In this case when u UNinstalling this patch u RESTORING blur. So why do u think unistallation dont work if blur is present?)) This actually mean that u uninstalled it, but u just forget to turn off blur ( set definition on) or P button When u re-installed game u just forced installer of game to remove game settings, and when game just installed Blur if off by default (definition on). Its all your fault, not mine)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMC Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hello, I am new to GTA 4, I just built my 1st gaming rig and I am sure i got all it takes to run this game smooth. Lets see some specs first : Mobo: Ga-790XT-USB3 CPU : PhenomII x4 955 c3 stepping @ 3.2 GPU : MSI R5850 1GB OC Edition (765/1125) RAM : DDR3 Mushkin Stiletto 2 x 2 Gb 1333mhz OS : Win 7 64-Bit Ultimate Build 7600. I had installed the ATI CCC ver.10.2 and no matter what AA/AF setting i change I still see the same graphics in-game. Running GTA 4 10.4 patch @1920 x 1080.The game runs smooth , cant complain about fps, but the graphics lack AA and AF afaik. Many of my GTA 4 graphic settings are very high, and the video memory limit is on the green line. After seeing no difference by playing with the ati CCC AF/AA, I decided to try Voodooman shader but it wont patch, a window opens and it doesnt displays right (no patch button displayed) and cant be closed with the window close icon(i tried 3 or 4 different patches from the 12 versions available with the same results). I did everything V said : Removed read-only attributes in all the GTA 4 folders and subfolders, Removed the UAC . Also tried right clicking on the patch and running it as admin with the same results. I am dying to see this patch working! Please advice, Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
