How I can fix this problem?" A: "Some MTA servers actually doesn't support EnbSeries plugin (file d3d9.dll), which is built in this mod. Try to go to the root of GTA San Andreas and delete d3d9.dll file from there, but note that the additional color correction and reflection shader Enb (if installed) will be removed from the game." Q: "The game crashes after a certain playing time or some time after starting the game." A: "Apparently, the problem in the CLEO-script, responsible for the effect of sun haze. Because it's under BETA stage, then there are some game crashes may be. Try and CLEO 4 (there is in the game with the mod), if not help, remove the script PS2A_FX_SunHaze.CS in your CLEO, which is located in the root folder of GTA San Andreas. " Q: "The game crashes when I go to SAMP." A: "See the previous question." Q: "The effect of solar glare is not working at MTA, but it works in single player GTA San Andreas, how to fix it." A: "Alas, while it can not be repaired because the MTA does not support CLEO platform on which to built this effect. However, one person, under the name Euda, trying to make a LUA version of this effect, which is compatible with the MTA." Q: "The effect of solar glare is very slow. The size of the solar flare suddenly changes, sun glare sometimes departs from the sun." A: "The system script is difficult, the data that takes this effect is updated every 20 minutes of playing time. This is a BETA version, will try next to fix this problem."

mcsim2401 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Mod will be released after 3-4 hours. Left to do: countryside and desert color corrections, adding char lighting on all weathers, edit draw distance (make all like in LS) These mods are going round in gta online? 'samp' I'm testing only on MTA, all works fine and without crashes, I don't think that there will be any problems with SAMP NOTE: I'm not editing any sky colors. It's modified high color correction affects to different sky color and color of lighting. Edited November 22, 2011 by mcsim2401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsim2401 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 the sun is the same timecyc ps2? that strong sunshine and beautiful Unfortunately, no, it stay default, but for now. I'll try to make sunhaze in next versions, by FXP or shader and make color more yellow (orange), not white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G The Generous Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 nice job. but did you edit timecyc.dat or make some new script file? because timecyc.dat in PS2 is the same as PC version (except the lighting on character, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsim2401 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 nice job. but did you edit timecyc.dat or make some new script file? I've edited original timecyc.dat, because colormod doesn't give a maximum same result, the sky color is stay as it was and it makes some bugs with yellow color cars and sun. SA timecyc contains two color that used for color corrections and their alpha. I editing this colors to more bright and increasing alpha-channel. That's all. CLEO don't have a needed opcodes, and I can't write ASI scripts. I think that editing timecyc color corrections is the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted this picture on a topic http://s013.radikal.ru/i325/1111/13/2deec2bb8f01.jpg the sun is equal to the PS2 has the sun that you add this mod that you are creating?

I am your fan *-* It shows how will looks this sun effect. I'm now thinking how to do it, it's not ready for now. This screen has been made by creating static (static is like a light from street lamp i.e. it's not moveable) corona using MTA Map Editor, put player near it and stay it in correct form. Basic configurations (offsets, color and other) for this effect is now ready, but script itself is not ready. I'll try to release it in next version. Sorry. This version will contains new timecycle and low-reflections on vehicle. Next version may will contain this sunhaze effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko427 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I always found SA PS2 looked nice than the PC version. PS2 version looked nice and it's fits perfect in these warm hot looking envoirenments of the cities. That sun thing, did you fixed that or are you still working on it? And ow, is it possible to have helicopters have real rotors? The PC have really stupid rotors, not like from PS2.

mcsim2401 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) you are making a new version? Sure, I've probably mentioned about this five times That sun thing, did you fixed that or are you still working on it? You mean that "ugly" looking by colormod? Fixed. If you mean sunhaze effect - I dunno how to make it by CLEO way, not enough opcodes. Maybe I'll make it by FXP or shader. And ow, is it possible to have helicopters have real rotors? That blurness effect? I think there is a 3D modelling and animating. Edited November 22, 2011 by mcsim2401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enb is not so important anyway, but you'll lose reflections and picture will be brighter (you can set lower in options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G The Generous Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The PC have really stupid rotors, not like from PS2. hmm... it's look like that the rotor's texture from ps2 is different from pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so, but I'm not sure. Someone have to extract the txd of the helicopters from their .txd files from PS2, and import them into the PC .txd files.

aStiffSausage Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The PC have really stupid rotors, not like from PS2. hmm... it's look like that the rotor's texture from ps2 is different from pc. I guess so, but I'm not sure. Someone have to extract the txd of the helicopters from their .txd files from PS2, and import them into the PC .txd files. It's not the textures, it's the engine. Textures can't do that complex job, even though there are animated textures. It just won't work. It's about the game-engine, same thing with vehicle lighting that looks really different in PS2 when compared to PC, and which can be fixed by some tool made by DexX (Can't remember the name of it.). And I've also noticed one other thing, similar to rotors, and not sure about if it's in PS2: Wheels, they also won't have the blur when spinning fast.

herons2s2 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I discovered the problem of samp The SAMP does not read the timecycp timecyc but it reads normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadiaaa Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I downloaded their mode I wondered I'm playing gta PS2 or PC? CONGRATULATIONS you really are good at it I hope new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsim2401 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 The SAMP does not read the timecycptimecyc but it reads normally. Strange. timecycp.dat is different from timecyc.dat only by char lighting, but I used original timecyc.dat from PS2 (it's same with timecycp.dat), maybe make SAMP version, but without char lighting? But it will looks a bit worse that original. Someone have to extract the txd of the helicopters from their .txd files from PS2, and import them into the PC .txd files. No, it's, how said oksa8, game engine or at least included in a vehicle model. Work on sunhaze effect will start when I end with timecyc. Now I making the sky a bit darker by ENB CC and fixing Timecyc CC in countrydise and LV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herons2s2 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 in samp lighting of the characters are cars does not work why not read the samp timecycp Just read the original SAMP timecyc timecyc so the sky would be correct? ------- My PC does not support ENB so I decided to replace it with ColorMode that looks superb visuals appeared (Only problem is that it was very yellow) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/526/gallery1l.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/545/gallery2s.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/100/gallery7rn.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/847/gallery9sq.jpg/ Can I make a video to show his work?
