whats up with the open space of concrete? For future?

[EncryptedReality]

It was like that since the last SA version even.

The place is actually a dock with lot of conteners and safehouse... You can try to find Terreur' screens about it, few page ago ...

 

I think, and i'm working a bit on it, before adding other island or everythings else like that, we have to add some special place al around the main island, to "force" people to explore the all island, like Jost Vice has done on SA time with his Spanish Villa ...

 

Progress is going slowly because of a lot of thing, but, you'll have lot of surprise in the future i hope =)

[fakespyder]

The screenshots look fantastic (both enb and non-enb).

I look forward to trying this upon release.

[ShakingASS]

Any updates on mod we testers should test out new stuff check for errors and such.

Last screen is gorgeous, even if it's pretty dark seeing all these lights and the city in the background makes me want to go for a vacation there, nice atmosphere

 

-------------------

@Garju

I agree with Blaster for the enb part, colors doesn't match, at all. That light blue-ish atmosphere and palm trees being black kinda ruin the pictures

ENB is very good, you just choose the right setting, i love enb and iceenchacer, but i prefer sen times, especially to timecyc

I don't think that was worth mentioning.

 

You can clearly see it's rage resources and not some overdone enb\ice, if not, there is something wrong with your eyes.

true , but , persons ask me, which enb i use

[Garju67]

Amazing screens ! Nice job

Is that my Next Generation Graphics on 1.0.4.0? I havent tested it on patch 4, but on patch 4 it looks great, if that is it.

[nkjellman]

 

That looks really bad,

 

The vegatation is so dark, it's unnatural.

 

Also the overall color is jsut so dead, it has no life in it.

 

  Sad Blaster.

Few reasons why it looks like that.

1. Optamised for IV's LC.

2. Optamised for 1.0.7.0 which overbrightens ENB, so on patch 4 it will be too dark.

3. Your brain seems to be trained to hate ENB lol.

 

Anyways I think it looks good. Concreat in the noon sun has that white bright look. Notice on a summer day your eyes hurt when you look at it after leaving a dark bulding.

 

Original timecyc looks good, but it looks like its missing a few things current generation games have.

Lol no this is a enb i found on gta4-mods . And yes this on patch 1.0.4.0 .

And blaster you don't like ENB but don't say at each ENB pic "Fail" , "Bad" etc .... on every thread .

I'm waiting for iCEnhancer 2.0 for 1.0.7.0, doubt i will be using it long, last time i used it GTA was running like sh*t on my high end PC

I agree, but DKT70 1.0.7.0 version have a very decent performance and looks really amazing (iCE is great but looks so cartoony :S), can't wait for release =)

[Vintage88]

iCEnhancer builds I've seen and tested cannot match what the higher-end ENB builds (custom) can do... I find most complaints against ENB are usually either:

1) people who don't have a good enough system to take advantage of it.

2) people who don't know how to edit the .fx and .ini files to suit there computer and save FPS.

 

Or both.

 

That's not to say it's not without issue, been there done that

 

A lot of people complain about the FPS drop... you don't need everything at such high settings, especially in-game settings like "very high shadows". A lot of times there's a menial difference between medium and high settings when configuring ENB. And people never adjust things like "AntiAliasingUpscale" which can produce more beautiful AA effects for a measly couple FPS.

 

Boris did a terrible job explaining how to use it properly (he's a really angry impatient person) but if you look at (better modded) games like Skyrim you can see the results.

ENB looks cool. The roads are bugging me in the screen with the road almost magnified, i can seethe artifacts xd but it looks good from regular camera

[Gforce]

 

Stunning, any traffic in town?

there will be no traffic in the city, because of the limitations of GTAIV

aww that sucks =( but are you sure? because GTA IV SA was huge and it had traffic EVERYWHERE even where it shouldn't

is the height restriction, it is limited to 511 and i am a 640 , should be fair for someone to decode the gtaIV.exe, and remove the limit( for nod path ) . good pic garju

have you investigated how low below 0 on Z axis you can go ? in IV there are peds and traffic spawning below Z:0 in the subways and tunnels, that way one workaround could be lowering the whole map by -130 then you can have traffic spawn at your highest point of 640 but with -130 it would actually be at 510, might be a lot of work, but either way it's worth looking into

 

btw, it's good to see this map on the IV/EFLC engine, nice work

Then you dont care about atmosphere at all, there is no feeling in your screens with ice, the ones from terreur express a lot of life and feeling.

 

 

Vintage88, it's not enb or ice what i'm against, it's that i don't get why people mix it with tc's that it isn't made for, like gostown, vcr and ivsa.

 

 

should be fair for someone to decode the gtaIV.exe, and remove the limit(

 

Bad idea.

 

@Gforce, your right except that you get a big problem using your method. The outisde ocean is hardcoded on z level 0, so if u lower the water around gostown, it will be 130 meters below the ocean, it will look really bad, you will see a endless hole.

Maybe you can move Ghostown to the middle of the map, and lower it, then have backround senery covering up the water. It would also give you more to look at than just water when your at the top.

Bad idea.

 

why? by removing the height restriction could be circulationt in the city .

[Frank.s]

I think he means it's a bad idea becuase modding the exe's would most likely cause errors+bugs that would need to be edited/changed/modded to be fixed which would cause more errors+bugs and the cycle keeps repeating it's self.

Yes at the beginning, but later would be settled as any modification, as for wdr , to begin with bug, and now he are perfec .

This is not icehancer .
