DrAwesome Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) Just wanted to say this is a great visual mod. I combined it with a custom reshade profile of my own but there are some rather glaring issues. Nights are a bit too dark, even in the city Most of the daytime settings are a bit too bright. Turning down game brightness helps but it only exacerbates the issue of night being too dark. I won't embed these images but here is your standard setting on Overcast http://pelpix.info/drawesome/var/albums/2015-05-20_00039.jpg Here is an example on how it should be http://pelpix.info/drawesome/var/albums/ovrcst-12.jpg Also here is a daytime image showing how blindingly bright it can get http://pelpix.info/drawesome/var/albums/2015-05-20_00070.jpg If I knew how to properly edit these timecycle files I could probably fix/adjust this myself but I haven't looked over the files yet.

Dark night is not a bug but a feature =) Anyway, do you think vanilla night brightness is ok or you want something between current modded and vanilla settings? Will make those optional for the next version. And only for the city. Countryside doesn't have light all around to make it lit well. Now about brightness. In-game slider will not do the job, it will make stuff even worse. Basically current daytime brightness is as much real as it could be, check this out https://lovethybike.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/p1050584.jpg http://venicebeachcotel.com/wp-content/themes/cotel/images/bg-beach.jpg That's why people are wearing sunglasses haha) But I'll turn sunlight brightness down to vanilla settings for the next version. Also, if your reshade have curves\levels\any other contrast boosters - it will make the game even brighter. My reshade is set up to normalize the contrast (black level 3 and curves -0.35) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reshade is set up to normalize the contrast (black level 3 and curves -0.35) You don't need to change the brightness to default, maybe slightly lower than it is. I've actually made up for it with my Reshade profile, can't make up for night though. Nights that are slightly darker than the normal nights would look good, but not pitch black though this is just my opinion. Here is Mount Chiliad and Vespucci beach at the same time of day with the Reshade adjustments. Something like these in terms of brightness would look a bit better Edited May 20, 2015 by DrAwesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redheadpapa Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) I think that as of now this is the best graphical mod for GTAV. The Sweetfx settings you included in the package finish the job off nicely. In my opinion nighttime looks really good and shouldn't be altered with but that's up to you. About the pictures you've just uploaded, there's some chromatic aberration visible, especially around the foliage. Is that intentional?

Stoyan Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Impressive! Thank you very much! Yes, the night settings are spot on and realistic on properly calibrated monitor/tv. Only the brightest reflection from the white things ( or may be the whole brightness on sunny day ), will be perfect with very small step down ( but really small, not like vannila brightness ). : ) I use this mod for my xbox 360. Ofcourse without sweetfx, but the other things are good enough. : ) redheadpapa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilandro Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 What did you change from the previous version? Not a lot in timecycles actually, mostly nights in the city, reflections, and sweetfx. About the pictures you've just uploaded, there's some chromatic aberration visible, especially around the foliage. Is that intentional? Yeah, I haven't touched chromatic aberration in the timecycle_mods_#.xml files, only in weathers. I'm also wearing glasses so I see aberration for all the time haha. There are other mods that remove aberration and noise, so you can use their "timecycle_mods_#" files. Or I can add my own as an option. Impressive! Thank you very much!

Also nights are now slightly brighter in the city, because in some well lit places (walk of fame) there was a lot of pitch black gaps. You can use mods on consoles? That's amazing!) Right now I'm trying to replicate sweetfx changes with just weather files. redheadpapa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erdo4 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I wonder did you remove any *Fog, Chromatic, Noise, Vignetting on your mod. Because its looking awesome and I wonder if those effect are included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilandro Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 This is it. Final version is out. There's nothing more I can do with it to make it better. And don't judge it by screenshots & vids) Install it, try it out and only then decide do you like it or not) If you will get any bugs - let me know. And please. Don't reupload it anywhere else.
