RW Released Project2DFX

[ThirteenAG]

New update: https://www.sendspace.com/file/gvw0rn(SA)

Added option to increase vegetation draw distance separately(because you need lampposts to be at 300). Also fixed performance drop caused by searchlights.

[El Dorado]

The ideal would be three different settings for each draw distance - One for vegetation, one for objects, one for textures. All working together without compatibility issues, like the current AllNormalObjectsDrawDistance doesn't working when GenericObjectsDrawDistance is set.

[Snoops27]

Any news on the water reflect texture?

[Karap]

is working well here, haven't no fps reduction with activated spotlight function

note: playng SAMP

It's already working, so if GenericObjectsDrawDistance is set, AllNormalObjectsDrawDistance will be applied on every other object.

Already done for SA and VC, expect in the next build.

Can you do the grass distance too? Mod Mix Sets has this adjuster but does not work too well

[ThirteenAG]

Another build for III/VC/SA: https://www.sendspace.com/file/5qrwpq

Comes with limit adjuster, I changed some limit values, if there's no problems with that, this will be in the release.

Please test, let me know if some default settings need adjusting, point out bugs etc. I plan to release 3.0 before GTA5, though not sure what to do with GTA IV version yet.

Don't think so. Edited April 4, 2015 by ThirteenAG

[Reyks]

LoadAllBinaryIPLs = 1 is not working properly, some trees are being loaded all at once instead of slowly fading in.

 

EDIT: Also can you make StaticSunSize = 20.0 separate from the Draw distance Changer? For modified timecycs and such.

Um, ain't that the point?

Ok, done.

Nope, with the cleo version each individual tree and building would fade in slowly no matter how far they were, with this new asi version it seems some trees and buildings are being loaded in chunks (all at once) when the player gets closer to them without the fading effect.

 

I could make a video showing this but my internet is damn slow today :S.

[Zera]

Working pretty well, although I did get a crash when exiting the game:

Great job on the water reflection.

What's your IDE Tweaker settings at?

[ThirteenAG]

Working pretty well, although I did get a crash when exiting the game:

It's probably the same one from TOBJS multiplier, I set it so 8 instead of 2. Didn't crashed for me though this time.

Not sure why so, I kept the original method of cleo script to load those(since another one didn't work).

[Reyks]

In the new one it's like this:

This is pretty much exactly how it was in the old tweaker, unless I did something wrong.

 

EDIT: If I set LoadAllBinaryIPLs = 0, and use the old binaryipl.cs it works like it should.

What is that "water reflection" you guys talking about? I cant see anything different. Could some post couple screens from SA ?

Edited April 4, 2015 by uncaged

[Claude_Lib]

They're probably talking about this.

[uncaged]

Understood I never moticed that, so no wander I missed the difference Thanks!

[Reyks]

Btw using MatrixList = 900000 didn't help, still crashes after some time :S. Maybe it's some other limit set to unlimited that's causing the crash?

 

I seriously don't know what to do anymore, guess I will have to go back to the sh*tty lods.

The only other limit that should need to be changed for the binary IPL script to work would be some of the node limits, which I think are all set the unlimited too.

 

Disable all the settings in the IDE Tweaker and just use the binary IPL script, if it still crashes after some time then it's a problem with the script.

[ThirteenAG]

Try VisibleEntityPtrs and VisibleLodPtrs. Btw, crashes with the same error address?

If I do that the game just crashes as soon as I start a new game or load a save.

I will try these limits, and some other ones as well. Yeah pretty much the same crash log I posted earlier.

[El Dorado]

Are you using that 4% memory setting? Your crashes could be the game running out of memory.

[Reyks]

Yeah, but if I set it above that, flashing screen stuff starts happening all over the place. And even with an increased memory the game crashes.

 

Anyways it crashed again with these settings:

EDIT: Different error address from my last one btw.

Edited April 4, 2015 by Reyks

[ThirteenAG]

I may be wrong, but this one seems related to MatrixList.

 

Also just flew around for a few minutes, not a single crash appeared for me.

 

 

 

I think trees default draw distance can be more than 800.0, should I increase it?

13AG, mind sharing your settings of OLA? I'm trying different to test which setting crashes the most.

Am I allowed to include it in my mod(s)? Do I need permission? (may seem obvious)

Just wondering... As Open LA is open-source....

Personally I don't care.

Have crashes too. Default settings, PS2 draw distance.

Here's the log. Forum does not allow me to post so many text, so I attach file.

https://www.sendspace.com/file/vwqcb2

I use 2dfx NOT with modloader. Dont know if this fact necessary or not.

Um, another wild guess - try to remove Task = unlimited from ini.
