BSOR + skygfx 3.7 or without skygfx - normal prelight

Spoiler

 

BSOR + Latest test release of skygfx - no prelight at all

Spoiler

Bug? Or this is not an skygfx fault?

That looks like a bug to me. I will check it out in a couple of days or so. Also the raindrops.

That's great. I'm running out of ideas, everything seems to be covered and already fixed related to droplets (blood and water) in SA but I'm still looking for anything that can be added or fixed like this thing.

I can't trigger the blood droplets to appear with the Harvester. What am I doing wrong? lol.

 

EDIT:

Have you uploaded the right ASI? I'm crushing thousands of people and the blood doesn't show up on screen.

More reports for enhanced droplets by @ThirteenAG. I don't know if the different behaviour between games are intended, but this would be nice to have and to match.

 

III/VC:

• III only: neoRainDrops doesn't show up on screen when the player is driving a boat (Reefer, Speeder, etc) as VC does. I re-checked this one and it seems that III has water droplets for boats already but a little bit more droplets as VC has, would be nice.
• III only: neoBloodDrops are almost non existent, just a few of them show up on screen while VC and SA they are very noticeable.
• neoBloodDrops doesn't show up on screen when the player is in a shooting or in a fight and gets damaged by other ped or police as SA does.
• neoBloodDrops doesn't show up on screen when the player is near a fight or some crime scene as SA does.

Here's more droplets stuff related for fix/add/whatever into the upcoming build for III and VC...

 

Collision based water doesn't show up water droplets on screen in III when you're using a vehicle, in addition VC needs the same thing but for both, on foot and on vehicle.

Spoiler

Water droplets working on foot while player is running:

 

Water droplets don't working on vehicle while player is driving:

 

The same for Vice City, but doesn't work for both actions:

 

Blood droplets doesn't appear on screen when you do a headshot and while the pedestrian is bleeding in III and VC as SA does:

Spoiler

 

 

Water droplets doesn't show up on screen while using Cars Drive On Water (SEAWAYS) cheat in VC as SA does:

Spoiler

 

*The same droplets that appears when you are driving a boat can be applied to fix this one or even the same check as already the plugin does with boats, in my opinion.

 

@ThirteenAG here's my updated III and VC droplets issues list.

I was always using ENB,those memory limit hacks,limit adjusters,OpenLA to be clear,Silent Patch,a few very good asi enchantments,but never this till recent months when Silent update his patch,so I ended up with DualPass in game problem.I read it that those two are necessary to install for the good gameplay.To be honest back when I was looking at the title and seeing PS2 in it,didn't really seemed to much interested,all though I did check topic,but now I'm aware of what is it all about and how to use it.

I especially want to thank you Hero and Dexx for the work on PS2 Vehicle-PipeLine

 

I just tested it on HQ chassis,not on wheels or glass

 

 

 

NOTE:here I am using default vehicle.txd map for reflection

 

so yeah,:p,

It's beautiful how this version stretch the reflection texture on mesh,

and I had to do it on another car on wheels,also results are good,even you do know all of this ,so this gives me motivation to do HD vehicles for the game.

 

shame,my first post here I think.

Maybe this is your first experience using Skygfx, I see that you use "vehiclenvmap128" for reflections, previously other users discussed something related to adding reflections using that texture, although this idea is probably never carried out, it is good to know that there are still people interested in Skygfx.

[HellBaron]

Yes, it's nice but, I think further work on neo reflections (real time reflections) and spec maps is way more realistic.

the neo reflections are finished that I think, there are also leeds reflections which in my opinion are bugged, they become too distorted when you turn the camera towards another angle, for now we only have to wait for the mobile reflections which are also distorted, although the distortion only it shows from the roof of the car

Well, if not, try this one: https://transfer.sh/tMD68/skygfx.asi

Still the same. Seriously this is so weird. Even just in a clean install only with SilentPatch and SkyGfx installed too.

[ThirteenAG]

neoBloodDrops activated? Only way I can make them not to show up is if setting it to 0.

[inadequate]

Yes. They are activated, everything else works except the harvester drops.

This month is it 4 years ago since this topic has been created, November 25th 2014. We have to make it big!

HI. i use skygfx on vc 1.0 (a little buggy, like rendering the effect over the models and sometimes get a little displaced or not sincronized with the backing render, but i set disableColourOverlay=1 and doesn't happen again but i don't get the PS2 fx) and also sa 1.0 (works fine by the moment) but i'm using it with III and doesn't work! (cannot be loaded )

my exe is RETAIL 1.0 (not cracked, ORIGINAL), silenthpatch seems to work fine

debugmenu doesn't work any way

and when i use ultimate asi loader (even latest version released on github) it says it cannot load sylenthpatchIII.asi (Error: 998)

it cannot load skygfx.asi (error 998)

after that it says "skygfx cannot be loaded by default mss32.dll ASI loader".

what should i do to make it work?

note: silenthpatch seems to work because when i used it without any asi loaders, it asked me for CD. then i copied audio folder from cd2 and never asked me again)

You have answered yourself. The problem seems to be your game executable and you aren't using an ASI loader. SkyGfx can't be loaded by the mss32 loader anymore so, download 1.0 exes for each game and use Ultimate ASI Loader to load the plugins.

Mate is this some sort of bootleg SilentPatch?

[PlayStation 2]

I have a ps2 and gta san andreas for ps2 but there is no such pixelization, on ps2 graphics is smooth

[LaDiDa]

It's there on PS2 as well, just not that visible because of the low rendering resolution.
