The Hero 6,876 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I reimplemented trails in III and VC using d3d9 pixel shaders to remove the blur. You need a d3d8 to 9 wrapper (d3d8to9 included in the zip as d3d8.dll) and rwd3d9.dll, which adds d3d9 functionality to renderware (also included in the zip, but see the topic: http://gtaforums.com/topic/819551-rwd3d9-d3d9-extension-for-rw/). As of version 1.0 (finally a proper version number) it exposes some settings in the debug menu In III disabling trails now removes the overlay completely as there is no point in rendering the half-assed version. This mod also enables the trails menu option in Vice City, thanks Silent. See this post for some screenshots of VC: http://gtaforums.com/topic/750681-skygfx-ps2-graphics-for-pc/?p=1067959209 Get it here: https://github.com/aap/sharptrails/releases Changelog: - no version number: the basic features of this mod - 1.0: support for debugmenu - 2.0: support for skygfx postfx Enjoy!

Marsi4eg 313 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) hmm, now having troubles with Ginput (thumbsticks doesn't work), and I cannot minimize the game =\ and it's related on new dlls Edited September 15, 2015 by Marsi4eg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hero 6,876 Posted September 11, 2015 Maybe the d3d8to9 wrapper? Same problem if you only install the d3d8.dll and not the others? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbird88 1,503 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Yesssss! Exactly what I wanted. VC looks a lot less dull with Trails on and blur won't bother me no more! Edited September 11, 2015 by Blackbird88 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crosire 88 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I'm really happy to see my d3d8to9 tool comes to use somewhere =). Nice job! Edited September 11, 2015 by Crosire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hero 6,876 Posted September 15, 2015 Water drops are there again, shouldn't have left out CMBlur::OverlayRenderFx(). I had wondered what that function did and the game looked alright without out. Renders water drops among others apparently... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George Costanza 11,450 Posted September 15, 2015 Beautiful (even xbox droplets would be even more beautiful ) But still nice. Today's fixing day, R* fixed minor bugs, you fixed minor bugs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mugetsuga 726 Posted September 15, 2015 The droplets are better rendered with sharptrails. Sorry to ask that The Hero but would it be possible to add an option to keep the blur from trails with the droplets from sharptrails ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hero 6,876 Posted September 15, 2015 The code that renders them is exactly the same, so: no Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Hero 6,876 Posted February 7, 2016 New version that uses new functionality of rwd3d9. This is just to improve compatibility, no other changes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marsi4eg 313 Posted February 10, 2016 What have I did wrong? I get msvcr120d.dll error on game startup. Older version of sharptrails works. I have installed over9000 vcredists Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silent 15,096 Posted February 10, 2016 You did nothing wrong, the monkey broke compilation options again. *d.dll aren't redistributable and no released application should link against them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
