VC Released Maxo's Vehicle Loader

[GamerShotgun]

That's a shame. Lazy R* guys...

 

Would ped shadows affect fps much? Or are they even possible?

They are generally pretty resource intensive, yes, especially because I had to raise the distance limit, which was originally just 2 game units from the shadow center, raised it to about 50 to make planes cast proper shadows.

[GamerShotgun]

That's still really good if we are taking VC's age into account. One last question on this matter and I'll leave you alone for a looong time.

 

Are weapon shadows possible? What I mean is shadows for the character's weapons. I hope I won't annoy you to hell with this question.

i use the updated file but when i start the game and after the intro it become in windowed mode (this is normal) the screen of the menu should load but it isn't.

What happens? Does the screen stay black?

 

no it become in windowed mode but the screen shows what behind the screen which is desktop, folder with files...etc.

Does it appear to respond to keys though? I mean if you try to use arrows and enter to still try to navigate in the menu.

 

Does it work properly when you don't enable windowed mode?

What about when windowed mode is enabled, but all other settings are not? So the globalm.xml would look like:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?><miscdata>   <internal>       <windowed>true</windowed>   </internal></miscdata>

 

[bahraini_carguy]

my settings:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?><miscdata>  <internal>      <windowed>true</windowed>      <resizable>false</resizable>      <usemenus>false</usemenus>      <fixframewait>false</fixframewait>      <menuonrestore>false</menuonrestore>      <rtshadowonplanes>false</rtshadowonplanes>      <rtshadowonplayer>false</rtshadowonplayer>      <antialias>off</antialias>  </internal></miscdata>

 

and it still not working .

Have you tried starting the game with the launcher? It's in the list of files on the first page.

I have a problem: on the extra view is all black

[ThirteenAG]

Really want to try the new build, but this black screen appears to me again.

I am use last ver. build

[maxorator]

Really want to try the new build, but this black screen appears to me again.

Did you try without globalm.xml?

Did you try without any MVL vehicles?

What other mods are you using?

Is your frame limiter on or off?

1)Yes

2)Yes, 'cause i don't have any free ids for them.

3)I'm using a lot of mods, don't have a list of them all though.

4)Frame limiter is on, adjusted to 60 fps.

I'm particularly interested in modified DLL files, such as a custom d3d8.dll or mss32.dll. You should try removing/restoring any modified DLLs or other asi/flt modifications. It is impossible to predict how other modifications could be interfering with MVL.

d3d8.dll - enb series, but black screen appears without it too. I tried to disable other plugins, it didn't help.

Do you have a clean copy to test on somewhere?

Not at this moment, one of my hard drives passed away a couple of days ago. Can you upload latest build with some disabled features? I can test it now.

(Maybe ViceCry exe causing it? Just like performance drop you fixed recently.)

You can perhaps try full screen mode with this:

[ThirteenAG]

http://maxorator.com/v/vehmod_testm3.7z

<windowed>false</windowed>

No, nothing is changed. I don't think it caused by a windowed mode, because windowed mode(and other options) worked for me in one of the previous builds.

[SomeGuy86]

Right... Cleo.ASI seems to be causing the problem, I just had a black screen issue, myself. (first the blackout then crashes back to desktop) Can you please look into the problem?

I have a black screen even without cleo. Only plugin i can't disable is IMGLimitAdjuster and ViceCry's exe tweaks.

[SomeGuy86]

For me, removing Cleo.ASI seems to have solved the problem. However, I've just noticed something else ... sounds are gone, VC menu reports "No Audio hardware installed", as long as vehmod.flt is being loaded, used. And no, I tried removing ALL the mods, including ENB - still nothing... Perhaps EXE issue?

[maxorator]

Vice Cry's download link isn't working at the moment, so I can't test this at the moment. Or someone can send me the exe and cleo stuff from the Vice Cry installation.

It's not Vice Cry related, I just tried with original VC & still having "missing sound hardware" bug...

[DK22Pac]

I must say that car shadow looks awesome. And if Boris won't release Zbuffer shadows for SA I would love to see them in SA or even in VC and III.

I think I know how to fix this 'bug' with rotation (however it requires editing of original funcs/rewriting them). And I think I know all about 'simple' shadows in GTA (which projected only to the ground), but these ped shadows are confused me (a bit ) - so many matrices transformations/col triangles/vertices/normals calculations

Anyway, even real-time player shadow for VC is a very big progress Good luck with it

[ALMOST610]

I am playing with the latest version maxo has with the plane and player shadows and am not having a single problem.

 

I might mess around with it and see if I can replicate the black screen on my machine.
