SkyGfx (Sky is name of Renderware for the PS2, any semblance to the actual sky is purely accidental) brings accurate PS2 and Xbox graphics to the PC version of San Andreas, Vice City and III

Hm, I guess it's possible, but that has no priority for me at all since it isn't a PS2 (or Xbox or whatever) feature. There is still so much stuff I want to do.

 

EDIT: 1000 posts, yay

This light effect (texture?), can someone check on PS2 if it's any smoother? I tried some videos, and it does seem smoother, but I don't know, can be youtube compression or something

Looks like a DXT compression problem to me.

It would be really great to have it regardless it's not a PS2 feature. Having more option/scripts is always better than not.

I always liked the SA PCSX2 version than the PC version filled with mimic blur. But playing only the PCSX2 version is not really the way to go.

@El_Dorado

 

That seems to be texture related maybe, but I wouldn't know, some textures with gradients in this game look really crappy no matter the resolution.

 

@The_Hero

 

Could you separate the grass dual-pass from the "dualPassDefault" setting again? I like the dual-pass on the club lights but having it on the grass causes frame skipping in my machine for some reason.

 

EDIT: Holy sh*t many posts such wow very doge :S

_CP_: what do you mean by draw distance of reflection? Vehicles always render with the new pipeline no matter the distance. Or what do you mean?

Sometimes reflected objects on a vehicle flicker , IIRC, Virgo is one of these vehicles.

Ah, that's actually a problem with frustum culling though. The objects are culled for the regular camera but the reflection map is rendered by camera that looks straight up, so it has a different frustum. I don't know how this should/can be fixed :/

DXT sucks when it comes to gradients. Sometimes even PS2 4bpp textures look better than DXT compressed.

Oh, spare us from those minor details, just grab a ps2/xbox copy of the game in question and port it entirely by yourself!

Well, PS2 seems mostly done now, no? Haven't looked at night- and thermal vision in SA yet though, are they still different? What about parked cars (see SilentPatch thread)? What's the problem with these? What else is missing still?

 

Xbox and especially mobile are different of course, there's a lot of stuff in there that's not implemented yet.

 

Apart from these there are of course models, textures and such that need conversion. I've done some good work on librw in the last couple of days and weeks for that.

Yes, please port PS2/Xbox copies of III, VC, and SA entirely to PC! Then it will be the most happiest and complete day of my life! More than the birth of my first unborn child.

I hope you can port the GTA IV engine to SA too.

Also don't forget to port GTAV engine to SA with the ragdolls physics from GTAIV. And also GTA Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories PSP to PC.
