cp1dell Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 nkjellman, is there any chance that you'll update the ENBSeries used for the vehicle reflection fix, from 82 to 163 version? If I remember correctly, there are some reflection quality and performance fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're installing on EFLC, put the files in the EFLC folder. They will work on both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, there are some reflection quality and performance fixes. If that's the case, then sure. I just need to remove the obnoxious ENB SERIES text in the intro. I just double checked, and there isn't a very extensive changelog, but from what I've seen most of the updates were for the ambient occlusion and shadows, along with some mentions of general optimizations and bug fixes. So I'm not 100% sure if the optimization and bug fixes have to do with the reflections. From what I remember back when 163 was new, and I was using buzz's ENB mods going back and forth between 082 and 163, there were differences with the reflections, and the way trees looked. It'd be nice if someone else with more background knowledge could confirm whether or not there were any changes with the reflections between 082 and 163. Also, off-topic but I saw some of your posts in another thread where you mentioned you were using CryENB. What other mods do you use/recommend?

I want to test and see if Dax's patch will allow me to use the old vegetation shader and see if it fixes the vegetation bug. But I'll have to make sure that it doesn't break parts of the game (cut scenes are black on my ENB install. Edit: It didn't work. Mods I typically use are this + EFLC PC Quality Textures if I'm on TBOGT + Cry ENB V3. I also use the Simple Native Trainer (very nice to have, and I hope its made for V). Minus Cry ENB, every time I play GTA IV on PC, I always have this, EFLC PC Quality Textures, and the Simple Native Trainer.

Installing a new map mod that doesn't even change anything with the normal map messes those up. I'm not sure how the code works for swapping objects. It might use some sort of counter, say it swaps the 14th object loaded or something. I could possibly move things around though with out messing that up. But again, I am not going to bother because I think that they are supposed to be there. If I remember correctly, they were present on console. If I were to fix any ipl bugs, it might be possible to edit the sco's to correct it, however I would like to avoid breaking people's saves.

nkjellman Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Guys I figured out why I didn't have the transparent gold uzi bug in the cut scene for Caught With Your Pants Down. I had this mod by DexX installed which makes fences, rails, and trees look smoother. It also happens to make the default csgolduzi.wdr look normal and not be transparent. http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=5721 The console versions didn't have the stipple.wtd to make that noise effect so transparent stuff looked clear and not noisy. The mod basically modifies the stipple.wtd so it practically handles transparency like the console version. I never played TBOGT on PC with out it because I absolutely hated the grainy effect that was added when Rockstar added the stipple.wtd feature to the PC version, and the fact that the mod came out in 2009, which was before EFLC was out on PC. @RM76: Try turning the night shadows off and shine your headlights on it again. If it looks different, then yes it is a bug with night shadows, and there isn't much I can do about it. Also, could someone send me a screenshot of where the flower pots are in TBOGT from the console version of TBOGT?

I must of forgot that I included it. It was about a year and a half ago that I released 1.2. On my game, the gold uzi in the cut scene looked fine with DexX's stipple.wtd, and with the stock one, it was transparent. With DexX's stipple, which is the one included with this mod, do you guys have a transparent gold uzi in the intro cut scene for Caught With You're Pants Down?

cp1dell Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I don't have TBoGT installed right now, but I do remember when I did my playthrough of all three games the Golden Uzi was transparent. I'm sure I was using the stipple.wtd from your pack, but I always also using CryENB v2 back then, which I'm pretty sure uses DexX's stipple.wtd as well. Then again ENB could have been messing something up. I'm not 100% sure, but I know I was using DexX's stipple.wtd, but the Uzi was still transparent. Even in gameplay. I'll have to check again sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkjellman Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Here is a list of graphical things that may be a good thing to consider for GTA V. (Based on PS4 version.) -Shadows don't render above a certain altitude. -Car headlights don't render any shadows, but lights from the environment, and flashlight weapon attachment do. -Some parts of the map are missing tessellation. -There are many props missing in GTA Online which are present in Single Player. -Increase corona draw distance. (May already be done on PC, but if it's like on PS4, you won't see coronas of LS from Mt Chiliad.) -Incorrect reverse lights on the Elegy. You see a corona where there is no light. -Increase distance in which high quality shadows are rendered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWSauberF1.08 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I'm pretty sure that Rockstar forgot to link the reverse light to the rear bumper or they added the dummy in the model of the aftermarket part.

nkjellman Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 A little update regarding GTA V. As Rockstar stated in the Newsware today, GTA V on PC will have teething bugs at launch. This may mean that the game could release buggy as hell, and I'll have work to do. But hopefully it is something that goes away after a few days, like connectivity issues on GTA Online, much like the console versions had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkjellman Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Still no solution for the black line vegetation bug? And the flickering buildings and beaches... Well, GTA IV is a broken pile of puke, but these two bugs are on the top of the list, at least for me Nope. The vegetation is fine if you are on patch 4. I also have no idea how to fix the flickering beaches and buildings in the distance. However a workaround is every time you get in a helicopter, cycle through the cameras. Then it will be much less noticeable while your in the helicopter. The bug is most noticeable when your in a helicopter, so this little trick is handy. One day, someone will find out how to fix those bugs. GTA SA had quite a few bugs exclusive to the PC version, and lately, they have been addressed. Before, it was thought that it wasn't possible to fix those things. It is noteworthy that we all should seriously hope that GTA V won't be as bad. The comment made on the Rockstar Newsware makes me cringe about teething issues. Hopefully it is just like the console versions, and the issues have to deal with GTA Online connectivity. The other thing that makes me cringe is the fact that GTA III and GTA VC didn't get the enhancements that Xbox got on PC. GTA SA had quite a few little bugs which added up that were not present on consoles. GTA IV had optimization issues and graphical bugs. EFLC came out and IV was updated too with a few graphical enhancements. Bugs came with it. Just like how GTA SA Mobile is sh*t yet it got updates in other places. Every time a GTA is updated, it gains bugs from its original release. Fortunately the only bugs I've noticed so far in GTA V when going from last gen to current gen is that the large 747's don't spawn at the airport in Single Player. There is only one by the hanger with a guy sitting in it. Current gen had the static vegetation bug, but that was patched. I'm not sure if last gen had the bug where shadows disappear above a certain altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nkjellman Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) #SilentPatch_IV.asi Exactly. Unfortunately Silent doesn't do IV. But yes, SilentPatch_IV.asi is something that I much would like to see. It could fix things like: -Vegetation shading -Vehicles cast shadows from light sources -No darkening on distant objects -No z-fighting -Proper reflection fix that doesn't use ENB (should be toggable though as it probably would mess up ENB) -Perhaps the best thing that would fix quite a few bugs would be old shader system compatibility on new patches. ENB users would love it. Though I feel like EFLC would be trouble here. Back when I was doing my EFLC Map Updates for IV mod, people who tried to install it on 1.0.4.0 claimed that it didn't work. I believe that the "updated" shader system added some new shaders that EFLC's map updates use, and that would cause patch 4 to crash as patch 4 doesn't have them @Silent: Hint hint. lol. Hope you decide to make a Silent Patch IV. Edited March 30, 2015 by nkjellman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
