Not sure what you mean by 'flash'. But spawning in vehicles from further distances is pretty hard right now because of nodes.

By flashes I assume small lights (white or red ones). How about spawning random lights on paths coordinates then? Would that be possible?

Pretty sure its possible, but it'd be too time consuming.

Hm. How about limiting the number of the lights then? I assume that on SA spawns approximately 5-6 cars on the street. Taking coordinates of those vehicles would be a good start-point.

So, if a car disappears or is deleted from the streets, the new car appears and its coordinates are taken instead.

Basically, those coordinates could be usfeul when player flies at ~200,300 meters above the ground and that could be the limit of those moving small lights... Sorry if I sounded a bit confusing

Are you talking about actual cars or coronas? Making moving coronas on roads that give you the impression of cars can apparently be done with an opcode, but it'll take too long and it might not look great and making cars spawn at further distances while they're on their paths can't be done right now because of nodes.

Spawning coronas, ofc. Coronas which are moving with the car at custom distances. What work would had to be done there exactly, I might be missing something?

[aStiffSausage]

Are you talking about something similar to this?

Script got "pool" of cars it can store, let's say, it can get a handle of 20 different cars. The script will store current speed in XYZ-axis, until it can't find a new car to replace current slot, and then, the script will generate corona at the coordinates the car disappeared at, and then count next position from the XYZ speed we just retrieved?

Because if that's the case, then there are few issues, first one being, that the corona would just keep going in a straight line, and the corona might actually go flying in the air if the car was going uphill before despawning.

[MAD BOSS]

Um, not sure if I understood you right. But, here's my idea in briefs:

• trace spawned cars coordinates and their speed
• limit the number of vehicles, i.e. 20, like you said above
• attach corona on the moving car and let that corona be visible at high distances only (like 100 meters above the ground or something similar)
• if the car which was being traced, disappears, the corona is automatically removed aswel, in pursuit of new coordinates
• and loops, ofc, at night time optional

why after installing this mod i get crash everytime i quit my game?

does this mod conflict with something? i only use this mod, colormod.asi,sa_shadows.asi,&streammemfix.asi

[Gramps]

Why would you care if you get a crash when you exit game?

thank you very much, sir

i care because every time it crashes, my computer freeze

[uokka]

Alternatively

 

To prevent loss of data in case of freeze or black screen, try killing the process before hard-shutting down your computer. To do so, open the Task-Manager via CTRL+SHIFT+ESC. Then type the first few letters of the processes name (gta_sa.exe). I mostly only need to type "gt". Then hit the DELETE key followed by SPACE or ENTER. This will kill the selected process.

Of course, you won't be able to see what you're doing so you should try it at least once while your PC is not frozen.

 

NOTE:

In order for this to work, you have to first open the Task-Manager and select the 'Processes' tab, so that next time you open it, it will present you the list of processes in which you can select any processe by just typing its names into your keyboard while the Task-Manager window is focused.

• trace spawned cars coordinates and their speed

To begin with, cars don't spawn when far away. Wouldn't work.

If they do not exist, they could be created. I suggest making a bmx bike or smt like that which isn't very visible from the sky and make it follow the road randomly. Once it's out of predefined box used for casting car lights, it can be removed and replaced with the new one. Sounds better?

Nope. Nodes aren't loaded neither then, so the vehicle would have nothing to drive on.

With the mod I mentioned few posts above, draw distance of spawned cars and peds can be adjusted manually. It's a CLEO script, check it out

;-; But that's as far as they'll ever go, and its not enough for what you're asking simply because of nodes.

I don't know much about the nodes. But I still think this is somehow doable

[aStiffSausage]

Well, a lot of things are doable, but taking into consideration that both SilentPL and NTAuthority have been having a hard time trying to increase node distance for VCS PC edition... It might take a while.

[Paladin Goo]

Only real issue with this mod is in Vice City during the phenom penh 86 mission - it causes massive model pop in and out issues. Try it, you'll see what I mean. Makes me weary to try it in other helicopter scenarios.

This mod is broken, it crashes the game when you reload a save.

Can't say how so at the moment, and anyway can't do anything for the next two weeks

It is James fault, don't worry

Eat sh*t. Temp fix for load game/new game crash.

REQUEST: Eye candy screenshots, please!

[Gramps]

How about you install the mod, and play with it yourself.

 

And then you can see an eye candy real-time video of it !

I think "patch_lods" don't work if frame limiter is set to on, however I don't have a clean game to test it

Works fine with frame limiter on here.

What the f... why I'm still facing holes on map then? There is some known compatibility issue with this mod?

It's an odd one. Some people are still getting holes in the map and some aren't. I just checked the multiplier and the distance option, both work fine for me. Have you tested on a clean game?

[El Dorado]

I have my regular SA game, and I have the ISO. However when I run the installer from the ISO, it's detects my actual installation and asks me to unistall/modify. So yeah, I don't have a clean game.
