RW Released Project2DFX

[BLlTZ]

He is using Lod Mod, I assume. I explained clearly that is too much for the game to stream/generate everything in real time because Lod Mod makes a drastic change towards the game, something which the game was never planned to run like that. Tweaker doesn't have anything to do with this, if Lod Mod is being used.

[El Dorado]

Blitz, I was having holes on map even before you released LOD Mod.

[BLlTZ]

That's unusual. I thought as I assumed wrong, that you are using Lod Mod since you made test with it until now. At least can you list the names of what mods you are using ? I'm interested to know about this too.

I'm using your LOD mod, the mods on Mobile to PC thread, fixed prelighted trees by d3jan, and those cleos and asi's. ASI loader 1.2 by Silent, Cleo 4.3.

Yeah, I have no idea. Seems like the tweaker has some issues, TAG is also experiencing holes in the map. ;-;

 

Anyway, not sure what you guys are talking about with holes in the map with the latest LOD mod and LOD Trees.. works fine for me, only had to change 1 setting.

 

[El Dorado]

Try to fly around with Hydra, see if there any holes.

You can't see SF because the LOD Draw Distances isn't high enough, when I put it high enough to see SF flickering happens, but I doubt anyone is playing with the entire map spawned in.

 

[El Dorado]

Yeah, I give up. My game is somehow broken.

[BLlTZ]

James, can you also post your hole Tweaker/limit adjuster settings ?

Ah, I see. You also set the Lod to 3000, but to you, doeas the loading game takes long to load ?

I did some tests

Completely clean game - Holes (as expected)

With 2dfx, default settings - Ocasional holes

2dfx, and mem512.cs - holes only when flying at high speeds and low altitudes

I made another test with my fully modded game, including .LOD mod

With any memfix above 512, the game would crash. But I updated cleo to it's latest version (4.3.13) and put a 2048 mem fix. Not crashing anymore. Holes are gone too (except when flying at high speeds and low altitudes)

My considerations - the lod patch from IDE tweaker fixes the rendering issue, but don't fix the memory issue (SA uses 128 MB by default, I think), so, for a complete fix, you MUST have a memfix. And there's this flying problem... and I don't know what is.

Loads fine, not using an SSD either.

Unless you're getting LOD's at close range and very few cars loading in, its not a memory problem. In fact, LOD's not appearing at far range would most likely have nothing to do with how much streaming memory the game uses.

I would like to make a suggestion for the project 2dfx
more lighted windows in buildings!

I made a video (only edition, the mod does not exist)

 

look at 1:18

there is no project being done

Edited February 12, 2014 by mikros1

[TJGM]

It's a good idea and one I've thought of before. But it'd be a separate mod from Project 2dfx, since the last thing we wanna do is add map objects.

[mikros1]

Another suggestion is to create different dff

to light at different times

tobj (time controlled object)

the lights from the windows of the same building kindled at different times

example: 22:00 was the time when the windows were all lit

sorry may bad english

mikros1 looking good there, I like it

All specific ide files will be reorganized in some way in v2.0 i think, for now use original vice cry files. Also you can put original file to CFG studio and set draw distance for all non-lod objects to 300.0 manually. Edited February 13, 2014 by ThirteenAG

[ThirteenAG]

1) With a big help of LINK/2012, there's an update for limit adjuster(SA):

First of all, StaticMatrices option was added, so no need to original bonus asi anymore. And OutsideWorldWaterBlocks option was added, so as you can see on the screens above, water disappearance on a high altitudes was fixed.

Since it was included only to Project 2dfx files, and update for p2dfx isn't ready yet, you can download new version here - https://github.com/ThirteenAG/limit_adjuster_gta3vcsa/releases

 

2) -

 

3) tobjs_draw_distance_multiplier option in IDE Tweaker crashes the game on exit when set to value above 2.0. No fix available at the moment.

 

Stay tuned

Edited February 22, 2014 by ThirteenAG

[Danikov]

Wow,that's so tight! Well done!

[El Dorado]

Indeed the crash when exiting the game is fixed when setting tobjs_draw_distance_multiplier to 2.0

 

But I don't see any diference about holes on map even without your widescreen fix

[ThirteenAG]

Scratch that then, just tested, seems like with asi stream memory fix and memory512.cs installed at the same time i don't have holes too. That's kinda weird, but can you verify that?

 

(latest cleo, few plugins, latest srt3 with modloader)

Edited February 22, 2014 by ThirteenAG

[El Dorado]

Can you link me to these asi memory fix?

[ThirteenAG]

Try this - http://www.sendspace.com/file/8pb8kx

but it's combined with fastloader and a few other plugins.

[El Dorado]

No luck. Still, I will test on a clean game later.

[Supertrex]

Installed the mod as instructed, but doesn't seem to be working at all. I'm pretty certain that I have v1.0 of the game since the 10x draw distance mod works just fine and because of gta_sa.exe's file size. I tried installing just the files in "Put into SA's main folder" to fix texture flickering and object spawn distance, but that doesn't work either. My San Andreas folder is in the D drive, so maybe that's the problem? Or am I completely missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

 

EDIT: Turns out I'm just an idiot and doing it wrong xD. However, the lighting still looks like the crappy original san andreas one, and not the one in your video.
