Hey guys, for some reason my shadows are still dynamic when I use the mod. Am I installing it wrong? where do I put it? :catspider:

Do you have an asi loader installed and a supported exe (compact or hoodlum work fine)?

Yes, I do. It's silent's asi. But when I put the asi file into my san andreas folder, it doesn absolutely nothing. It is working for other asi files though.

I'm not sure if this can be fixed but whatever, take a look at the shadow under the car, it disappears as soon as CJ gets out. This happens only when on top of buildings.

 

 

EDIT: Also the shadows can be seem from under bridges.

Well since this is already bumped I gotta ask is there any easy way to fix this? I know it's related to missing IDE flags, but I have no idea wich flags I should edit in order to solve this, and that would take a very long time to do, so maybe a script solution?

 

EDIT: Happens to ped shadows as well in the same areas, but not the player shadow.

Then maybe it's your exe. Have you tried compact or hoodlum?

I haven't, but i could. What does it do?

 

 

They are just the two executables with the most number of opcodes documented. Therefore every serious modder work on them.

Thus you'd better to use one of them

Is there any solution to get the Visual Quality Grass?? If i turn Visual Quality to Very High...It looks good!

I can see grass on floor..and grassy areas..But i can see shadows too..And i dont want it..It makes my game slower...But grass doesnt make the game slower...Is there a fix to get the Visual Quality without shadows???

Isn't that exactly what I did in this mod?

It's outdated btw, better use SkyGFX, you can get the PS2 shadows with that too. Also I find it hard to believe that shadows are making your game slower but not grass...

I tried it out on my Nvidia Geforce 8500GT. PS2 grass makes the game a bit slower (good example is Fern Ridge)

And one issue with AMD/ATI GPU.

I have a laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 and SkyGfx does not work.

 

Game Start: OK

Load new game: OK

After loading game: Black screen and flickering.

 

But on my Nvidia Geforce 8500GT and on my first PC with Geforce 6200 it's working.

Thank you very much! Thats it!

 

UPD

It is unbelievable, but I have some weird problems with my STATIC shadows. And I guess that is not even this mod's fault. The problem happens even when I use LOW settings without this mod.There are no shadows from lamposts, some cars do not have shadows at all, but their shadows appear when I get in that car and disappears again when I exit it. Maybe that TTDISA messed something again...

Can anyone tell me is there some file in the game resources that "contains" static shadows? I'm going to try to put that file to the modloader and see what will happen.

The same thing happen with VC also, everytime I park a car inside the Sunshine Autos showroom, the shadow suddenly disappear.

 

It wouldn't reappear until I get into the car and driving it out from the showroom, all I know is its a textures bug.

The polygonal shadows are sharp and jagged, and a distraction when driving as they appear suddenly in view. They are the single biggest GPU performance user for me. Maybe new video adapters have a bottleneck elsewhere. MixSets allows to enable/disable these shadows along with numerous other essential tweaks.

Just download SkyGfx, this mod got merged there and includes even more features you can toggle on or off.
