SkyGfx: PS2, Xbox and Mobile graphics for PC

[MaxTheOne]

Hi, my problem is the heavy flashing screen, both in cutscenes and ingame, what can that be?

 

 

The gliths disappear if I remove the SALodLights files, but it's a mod I'd like to keep

Does this mod have the PS2 Timecyc file? I may be a little confused.

[StarScream2011]

This seems to have worked, I also used the PS2 Timecyc which is included by default? Just named Timecycp?

 

[Marsi4eg]

Yes, timecycp is indeed the ps2 one

An episode of the Mod Showroom covering SkyGFX in-depth. Covers every configuration option (that you’ll need) and tests performance with different options.

I always increase anti aliasing for Vice city in NVidia control panel.

That makes my game look cleaner.

Not happening here but if that's SAMP, then that's the issue.

So I just increase AA in nvidia control panel to fix the issue?

That might have worked, not sure, I'll try to update as soon as I can

I'm trying to use SkyGfx with OLA (mainly for use with Project2DFX, but it happens with just OLA as well), and, only in GTA 3, I get a crash right after "Importing model file for index 710186 at "modloader\skygfx\neo\neo.txd":

"Unhandled exception at 0x539FCDF3 in std.stream.dll (+0x2cdf3): 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000000C." from the modloader log.

 

This only seems to happen when both are loaded by Modloader, if I move OLA or SkyGfx to the scripts folder, it seems to work fine.

[LaDiDa]

Don't put OLA in modloader, some scripts just don't like modloader (presumably loading order at fault?).

I remember the heat haze effect was different on the PS2 version, smoother and without patches shifting up and down like on PC (I can't find any footage clear enough to prove this though). Any plans on doing anything with that? There could even be an option for adjusting the intensity as many people find the effect too strong and disable it... This could be a separate mod, but I thought I might ask here.

Set the resolution to 640x480, launch the game on CRT monitor and you'll get ps2 heat haze

Hi there. Great mod. I got a question though. How can I fix sun visibility though cars and other things. Like in the intro you can see sun glare going through police car while CJ is being arrested. Here is a shot:

 

 

Does this happen only during cutscenes or in gameplay too?

 

BTW, I'm using SilentPatch, WidescreenFix, SkyGFX with PS2's timecyc.dat and Hero's PS2 Vehicles. There are some other unrelated mods too.

Edited November 25, 2021 by RezaRR

1) Don't use any mods that increase draw distance.

2) Enable SunSizeHack=1 in SilentPatch ini

3) Use PS2 seabed.ipl

"SunBlockedByVehicles = 1", "SunBlockedByPeds  = 1", "SunBlockedByObjects = 1"using MixSets.

[RezaRR]

Hey, thanks for the help, guys. I solved it by using MixSets as Lucky Mole said. What a great mod.

 

PS2 seabed.ipl is also good, but it'll hit the draw distance pretty hard, so I decided to use "SunSize" in MixSets to make the sun bigger. It's not the same as using seabed, but it's good enough for me.

[Samtaria]

Does anyone have the plants.dat file and textures, The link seems to have expired 

[zmn34]

how i can fix this  

[Marsi4eg]

upgrade potato-pc I think, I had such graphics on geforce 2 mx400

[Area 69]

Might be graphical artifacts from a dying GPU as well.
