[REL/WIP|SA] Vegetation original quality


Recommended Posts

Some weeks ago I've found some textures used by R* in the development of the GTA saga and they were really big and detailed, as they weren't in the final game so I decided to make a mod that restores that original greatness that were lost during development, in adition, I've added some of the textures used in the 10 anniversary version of the game, so now the whole vegetation is in a never seen level of detail.

 

In this mod, some of the textures are 2048x1024 so you will need a graphic card with some nice amount of memory, if you can barely play this game in medium settings, I don't recommend to use it.

 

Features:

-Most of the original R* textures, fixed and with a completelly new alpha mask

-Some of the mobile textures edited to be more like the PC ones

-Pool water and a palm trunk from the beta of Vice city, also fixed to fit in San Andreas

-Mobile version fences

-Original "beta like" cedar and oak leafs

-Fixed an alpha of a fence

-All the textures correctly mip-mapped and compressed

 

THE WATER UPDATE NEW!!!!! Dynamic grass now also retextured (NOT ALL THE GRASS)

 

The main palms and dead palms are now 2048x1024 and the static water and waterfalls have been restored in 256x256 using R* original textures:

And here the DimZet13 textures:

But changing all the San Andreas textures would be a huge job

Edited by YOEL_44

Not so huge....Messing with the just texture....

Theres a lot of Mods which cover SA Map with new ones.....

 

Noone didn't touch actually models and put some more textures and details on MapParts...

 

INSANITY

 

so revamping whole map will take 2 years...

That was My Idea since opening topic...

 

LosSantos is only Options now... :cry:

Is it two-pass rendering or the alpha bug is invisible with those hi-res textures?

We can say that this is the "brute force" way of fixing the bug, so yes

Can you include the fence textures from the mobile version? They share the same files as some of this vegetation, and look way better than the vanilla ones.

I dont personally like the mobile fences, as they are so clean to be fences

What do you think about this resized one?

Looks a bit better I guess, but I'm not sure if it will make much of a difference in-game.

 

And yeah mobile fences are "cleaner" indeed, but I like them for some reason :p. It's not such a big deal though, it's up to you if you want to include them or not

Also the alpha compression is now dxt5 instead of dxt3

 

EDIT: First patch for V2, fixed a txd with different texture name, link in the main post

You should install first the mobile fences and then my mod and patches, but yes they can coexist without conflicts in modloader or with a normal installation

What means "first" ? Mod Loader loading mods simultaneously (as I know), means first install mobile fences manually by replacing .txd, and other stuff over mobile fences by using Mod Loader ? Anyway, your vegetation already includes some mobile fences, so may`be that is not a big deal to install all of them ?

Oh, one more question - do you use something to improve lampposts, like on the last screen in first post ? For me they look better then vanilla ones.
