SkyGfx: PS2, Xbox and Mobile graphics for PC

[mc289024]

Why can't I run this DFF on mobile phone when I convert dff to a  dff with more than 1MB memory?

I simply have no interest in CRubbish for SA. If someone else wants to do it as a separate mod I'll be happy to guide him to my reversed source code.

Hi, I have a question. Does the "colorcycle.dat" file need to be in the "/data" folder, or in the main directory, along with the "skygfx.dll"?

[The Hero]

data

[The Lucky Mole]

Oh really? I thought that they would have been on the "/data" folder in the zip, in that case. Thanks!

That would be great. Plastic/brown bags, unwrapped candy bars, newspapers, leaves, etc - in selective areas. *drools*

I might do it, but my coding skills are trash, pun intended.

[kr0n0s800]

when using "vehiclePipe = Mobile" it causes a bug in the motorcycles and the drivers, the peds and cj move separately from the motorcycle

No, [prim] and [sec] in zmodeler take care of the editable (= carcols) materials in a mesh. They have to be specific colors for the game to recognize the colors is to come from carcols.dat. I don't know how zmodeler sets the modulate material flag, but RW's exporter sets it when the material colour is not pure white. The flag just tells RW that the material colour should be used, if it's off it should be ignored.

Ok thanks. Then it is like I thought in the first place. Thx again for explainig.

If somebody knows how to set that flag in zMod I#d be interested.

I see some talks about [prim], [sec], zmodeler2 and modulate. Which bug are we talking about and is there a fix?

I used to use zmodeler2 a lot back some years ago and now I use it once in some time now but modulate things, I think that never worked for vehicles except the normale modulate. I mean there are many other modulate options like modulate x2, x4 and so on. Some intensifies colors/materials too strong and other makes it very weak. I tried modulate x2 to make the gauges glow like they should be but can't remember that much if it was working or not.

Where could I find these modulate x2/4whatever function you are talking about? (I mean zModeler does not seem to be that compex so I think I should have found them by now,)

Does anyone happen to have a colourful texture of that sing above the tattoo parlour in SF?

I installed SkyGfx for GTA SA but my game has darkened. My brightness setting is full.

 

Here is my settings:

Change it to 0. Done.
Now you can adjust the brightness to your liking.

The Xbox Vesion of GTA San Andreas uses Dual Pass and Blur Effects?

No and no.

Its a yes on the blur effects if he means the trails option.

[The Lucky Mole]

In some previous version of Skygfx I noticed CJ would move his head wherever he looked, which I especially liked. Was this feature removed?

Edited June 8, 2019 by BustaCJ

[LaDiDa]

That's a vanilla feature of the game, it just doesn't work with mouse movement on PC (and is bound to the numpad keys instead , with a gamepad the feature works just like on console)

You are confusing it with a cleo script that does the thing you are mentioning.

I don't think so. I have tried that cleo script and I found it buggy. For example, when the camera moves so that it forms a full rotation, at some point CJ moves his head unrealistically fast (to look at the other side). That's why I don't use that script.

[Marsi4eg]

Maybe you saw this in samp? head movement linked to mouse there, but skygfx has nothing to do with this.

Yeah, I know SAMP supports head movement. I might saw it playing with a gamepad, as mentioned by @LaDiDa

It would be a nice addition though. Something else. I learned that Skygfx forcibly skips the splashes. Why? At least there should be an option to enable them.

it's silentpatch what does it. And it has option for it

I came from SilentPatch. The .ini has an option to enable intro splashes (which didn't work for me). They said Skygfx forcibly skips the intro splashes. Also, I know that script, and it's kinda poorly made (the bug I mentioned before).

[The Hero]

Skygfx indeed disables them as well. I was doing some testing once without SP and got annoyed by stupid eax and nvidia. Sorry, but why would you want to see them?

I generally try to keep the game as close to the original as possible, while improving it. Also, I have some hd splashes installed and I'd like to see them in action.
