SA Released [ENB] MMGE

[Marty McFly 3,027]

 

What is it?

 

Marty McFly's Graphics Enhancement (short MMGE) is to date the most advanced ENB for GTASA out there. I rewrote the complete postprocessing of the ENB system, with focus on quality, performance and efficiency.

 

Features:

• gaussian bloom with self-generating offsets and weights, faster and better than default enb bloom
• beautiful enb lens fx with custom offsets
• extremely simple and fast, yet beautiful DOF shader from scratch
• simple logarithmic tonemapping
• low amount of code to improve fps
• elaborated and thoroughly developed timecyc for best colors
• no weird color tints
• minimal amount of code for better fps

Changelog:

• 1.0 | 07.09.14: initial release
• 1.1 | 29.12.14: smaller sunsize which now scales with screen size so no oversized suns on small screens anymore. Lowered lensflare intensity to prevent clipping. Smaller waterclear256 texture for better performance with water onscreen (old 0.076 and prior enb DLL's had no performance issues with large textures but updated algorithm in 0.248 has)
• 1.2 | 30.12.14: fixed bug coming with 1.1 which resulted in weird coloring when using no DOF configs

Known issues:

(all these issues are not MMGE's fault but are caused by newest ENB DLL)

• Partial incompatibility with Windows 8/8.1. Possible fix which works for 50% of users is using modloader: install ENB as usual and move d3d9.dll, enbseries.ini and enblocal.ini to GTASA\modloader\enb\ folder, the rest stays where it is. This doesn't work for everyone though
• Needs DirectX redistributable. If your game doesn't start, reinstall DX setup from GTASA disk or use this one.
• If "procedure entry not found" error appears, update your GeForce Experience to at least 2.1.2 or newer.
• Blackscreen ingame (although minimap and HUD visible). Stealer protection kicked in. You need to copy the "Copyright_by_MartyMcFly.png" file to your GTA folder, too. If that doesn't work: possible fix is deleting the gta_sa.set file (sets all graphical and control options to default) in GTA San Andreas User files (located in My Documents). User "ByteCode2014" suggests that it could be Threaded Optimization in Nvidia CP, disable it. Or better, set everything in Nvidia CP to "Use Application Settings"
• Not compatible to old cards which ran older ENB's fine.

Stealer list:

• Shahzel Ahmed Khan (proof:

No support for SA-MP, MTA and incompatible hardware such as Intel VGA, AMD 3000 and prior, these are not meant for graphical modding and modding in general. Edited June 20, 2015 by TJGM

Thanks Marty !

Why is it not compatible with newest CLEO? Why do you use other CLEO.asi file?

 

Nevertheless I want to say that mod is your the best. Starting from structure of files to whole effect. Day is so good and nice, but night... Night is just stunning. I don't have words to write how much night impress me . One of the best thing is that mod perfectly hides imperfection of old car models and small resolution textures. This game only needs shadows for all objects, maybe in future.

 

And thanks for changing ENB font (when game starts). That green one was awful. Such small things show how careful you are.

Newest CLEO is not stable (at least for me) and I use scripts that somehow don't work with 4.3. I know of no file yet that needs 4.3, you can update of course.

this is awesome but everytime freeze my computer

Try to change the script format from .cs to .cs4/.cs3 it should work

It helped.

 

BTW How to increase range (radius) of DOF?

[Neddo 113]

I find it funny how you posted SilentPatch as a must mod even though it's not even released

[Marty McFly 3,027]

I find it funny how a good working beta build is available. Besides that, I don't want to update the readme all the time.

I get full black screen if I use the enbeffect.fx file. But without that it's nearly the same as I don't use enb at all. I have an amd hd6850. Any idea for modifing something?

Edited September 7, 2014 by nyolc8

[Marty McFly 3,027]

Stealer protection kicked in. Use the whole ENB with every file, then it works. Tearing it apart results in various weird side effects like black screen for example.

[nyolc8 213]

Wat. I'm using all the files, and getting black screen. I tried to remove the files one-by-one and black screen only present if I have enbeffect.fx file there.

 

edit:

btw I think the new enb itself isn't compatible with my vgacard because with just the plain enb without any plugins makes many glitches, basically nothing is good, every effect is bugged somehow.

Show me a screen of your SA folder, please.

 

Oh and which card do you have?

Edited September 7, 2014 by Marty McFly

[nyolc8 213]

I have an ASUS AMD Radeon HD6850 1GB.

Here's the folder (I know it's messy but every unused thing disabled with ".off" or "bak"):

[price^G 0]

Sorry, but I'm also having nyolc8's problem, and I was hoping if you could also help me

My GTA starts normally (with or without MMGE) but the screen goes black in cutscenes and in gameplay.

I have a GeForce GTX750 Ti.

 

1st Cutscene:

 

Gameplay:

[Marty McFly 3,027]

Impossible to say what's wrong. Did you try to install ENB 0.248 on a clean installation? Just put the CD in your computer and install it again. I always keep an untouched SA folder somewhere, this saved my life many times.

 

 

OH wait a second. I had this when I reinstalled my Windows. The black screen is still there when ENB is toggled with Shift+F12?

Edited September 7, 2014 by Marty McFly

[nyolc8 213]

I removed the effect.txt.ini file (it recreated it with just a technique=0 line) and now I got it working but obviously (because many settings gone) I think it's not perfect:

I also removed the effect.txt.ini file, but I still got black screen

But the game runs fine without ENB enabled (Shift+F12)

[nyolc8 213]

Now I put back the file and it still works... lol? Now I have no idea why it works xd

But it's waaay too dark for me.

 

edit: I realised I didn't changed the timecyc, and now it's better with it, but still way too vivid and dark.

 

Also a problem: the headlight texture isn't lights up for some reason.

 

edit2: the light problem related to the reflection, because if I disable that, lights working fine. Also I think reflection isn't even working for me.

Edited September 7, 2014 by nyolc8

[Marty McFly 3,027]

Headlight isn't showing up for me, too, I have no idea why. Isn't such a great deal IMO, it is ugly anyways when the texture is stuck in the car.

SA:MP is perfect working with this enb but water is dont working. Here is fix for this: http://www.gtaall.com/gta-san-andreas/mods/43640-samp-water-fix.html

my game crashes when I try to alt+tab or ctrl+alt+del when i have that fix, does this also happen to you?

[nyolc8 213]

I just tried a stock 0.248 enb and headlight texture isn't working (and car reflection works only partly) with that too. So I think your mod is really nice especially at night time, I love those bokehs!

 

I'm really sad for that headlight bug in the enb itself, it makes me use my old 0.75 enb graphics config But if this headlight bug gets fixed in enb, I'll sure use your enb config/plugins

[Adamek 0]

Whenever i tab out of the game, my hud dissapears and the cars also dissapear, it goes back to normal if i turn off the enb is there any fix for this?

[Marty McFly 3,027]

Yes, don't alt-tab. Seriously, I have no idea why many of you have those weird problems, I play with ENB for 5 years now and never had the slightest problems. I must be doing something wrong.

Do you use Project Oblivion?

[Marty McFly 3,027]

From time to time.

[Neddo 113]

What vegetation did you use when you took these pictures please? I really like it because it fits SA

[Marty McFly 3,027]

Screenshot #1 and #2: Project Oblivion 2010 HQ. Not the 1.1 one, it contains bugs and is just a mix of original mod and some new textures. Screenshot #3: dunno, I see no trees. Screenshot #4: BSOR American Dream.
