The Hero 7,409 Posted September 11, 2015 Share 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!

The Hero 7,409 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Maybe the d3d8to9 wrapper? Same problem if you only install the d3d8.dll and not the others? Link to post Share on other sites

The Hero 7,409 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Water drops are there again, shouldn't have left out CMBlur::OverlayRenderFx().

Sneed 12,927 Posted September 15, 2015 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Mugetsuga 725 Posted September 15, 2015 Share 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 ? Link to post Share on other sites
The Hero 7,409 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 The code that renders them is exactly the same, so: no Link to post Share on other sites
