KawakSallas Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) The timecyc.dat file is one of the things that I love in the GTA modding scene. It is relatively easy to edit, and the results are awesome. I have a nice collection of timecycs, and now I decided to make one. I looked at some GTA V screenshots, and I will try to carry the Los Santos of 2013 back to the 2004 one. For the beginning, I just edited the sky colors of the sunny weather, to have a basic idea of what can be done. Some screens: Here's the file - Timecyc.dat And let me know what you guys think. I'm open to suggestions. Edited April 26, 2013 by KawakSallas Concavax and SarahPilko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 You can download the In-Game Timecyc Editor, to make editing easier .. And change more than skycolours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawakSallas Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 methodunderg - Yeah, I'm using the In-Game Timecyc Editor. For now, I'll just play with the sky colours. For the color corrections and reflections, I need to study the trailers some more, this will be the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gramps Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 First and last screens look like a very bad gradient .. i don't know if its fixable or not, but a nice dither shader would easily solve that problem .. Pity SweetFX's Dither shader only works on the results that SweetFX's shaders produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawakSallas Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I took the pictures with the camera, and the game store the images in low quality jpg. However, the gradient is still visible in game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawakSallas Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Are This Increase Draw Distance? I Hope This Timecyc Doesn't Increase The Draw Distance No, I use a mod for the draw distance. The draw distances values in the timecyc are the same as the original pc version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawakSallas Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Finally the mod is online at gtagarage. I also edited several things. If you people show some interest, I may continue developing this. Edited July 31, 2013 by KawakSallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death2Drugs Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 This is a very nice mod. Though it's quite nice, if you want to be more realistic, you can make the top skies more blueish. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clansman Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 No offense, but the gradients look bad. I guess the number of the sky colours are limited on SA engine, don't? There's no way to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJGM Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I agree, the gradients can look ugly at some points. Like extra sunny 5AM, it burns my eyes! D: Anyway, does anyone know of a fix for the holes in the map with a big draw distance? I know ThirteenAG made one, but it has a weird bug when jumping.. screenshots below.

KawakSallas Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 About the sky gradients, I know, they're not good. But even with the default timecyc they appear, so it's no "my fault" I don't know if there's a fix for this. Perhaps exists, but it must be much more complex than edit some sky colors.

Death2Drugs Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just as a question, did you edit the color correction or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawakSallas Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Just as a question, did you edit the color correction or not? Not yet. Right now I'm testing a range of colours to at least minimize the gradients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastman92 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Sky bottom | Sky top. These colors will create a gradient on sky in straight line as on shown on HSV palette: Literally. Sky top and bottom is gradually mixed together with colors that lie in straight line on HSV palette. On attached picture there will be gradual change of following colors: Sky top: Pink Red Yellow Sky bottom It's recommended to set up these two color angles somewhat similar, if let's say angle of first color was 0 and the angle of second color was 180, then gradient would go through the center of palette to create a straight line - white color would appear in the middle of the sky. In this post i skipped information about color value, transition of value (color brightness) is simple to understand. If sky top color value is 70 and sky bottom color value is 30, then let's say in the middle of sky there will be color value (70+30)*0.5 Edited August 2, 2013 by fastman92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
