ROM Hack Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition - Graphics / Options Mod

[Deleted member 323844]

I have tried again and I'd say there are still less peds than the default config (which is configurable now, of course) but enough to accomplish that mission

I'm wondering why the GBATemp file is small (2MB) while the 4pda file is the regular ~30MB.

It just can't be. Now the density of pedestrians for all presets is increased even more than the original
0.3 > 0.4
0.4 > 0.5
0.5 > 0.6
0.6 > 0.7
So I don't believe you =) Check your settings.
Whithout mod "Simulation Scale" is set to "1", "Medium" (0.4), now it's 0.5 on default settings.

On 4pda i uploaded a full "main" file. It's more comfortable for me.

By default I meant the vanilla game, yes, not the mod's default settings.

Does 1 affect that much the performance with the mod?

 

[crazyxelite]

is anyone working to get the missing radio music into the game? that would be cool.

just delete me. overclockings are in the picture spoiler sections ...

 

[Deleted member 323844]

Hope that "misaligned collisions" means fixed invisible fences, because good lord, they're a nightmare.

 

[TrunzoEBC]

Does this only work on 1.0.2 or will it also work on 1.0.3?

 

[burhansalih]

No they don’t work. They need to be updated which @ecl0674 said he may work on

 

[ecl0674]

I apologize for the delay. The updates are ready, I just want to spend a little more time learning the game in order to make the mod a little better.

Thank you again for all your hard work. Loved the mod, and can't wait for the new. Cheers

No worries buddy thank you for your effort fella

 

[TrunzoEBC]

Got it. This may be a dumb question, but how about 1.0.0? Would it work there?

 

[burhansalih]

I doubt it buddy

 

[ExtensionLaugh]

Got it. This may be a dumb question, but how about 1.0.0? Would it work there?

yes, I'm on v1.0.0 and this mod really work

 

[Imancol]

Useless to do that. Updates are important for fixing serious collision bugs that break the in-game experience. It is much better for mods to work in newer updates than wasting time supporting older versions.

 

[Deleted member 323844]

Collision coordinates fixes are definitely a welcome addition. I wonder how they misplaced them in first place. Some of them are WAY too far from the real geometry.

Update #4 [25.11.2021]

Spoiler

• Mod updated for game version 1.0.3
  • Be sure to delete the old "pakchunk0-Switch_1_p.pak" file when upgrading and old exefs patch
• Reduced image brightness
  • In the Switch version, it was slightly higher than the standard
• Slightly increased drawing range of small objects
  • Adjusted by the option "Distance Scaling"
• Slightly increased sun / moon light intensity
• Increased Shadow Amount
  • Shadows will now be slightly darker
• SSAO now uses Compute Shader instead of Pixel Shader
  • This slightly degraded the quality of SSAO with TAA anti-aliasing, but increased performance.
• Increased car density for all presets of the "Simulation Scale" option
• Filtering of Specular and Normal Map textures changed from linear to anisotropic
• Anisotropic texture filtering reduced from 4x to 2x
• Slightly reduced resolution of cascaded shadows
• Increased drawing range of large objects
  • For all presets the "Graphics Quality" option. For example, low-quality HLOD buildings will now display less closely

Available in the first post
Perhaps the increase of vehicle density and drawing range was a mistake. Let me know if the performance gets significantly worse.

 

[slinso]

Any settings recommendations for best looking, but also having stable high fps?

 

[Deleted member 323844]

I have recorded a 100% characters missions (including extras) playthrough with the graphics mod. It was the update #2 and 1.0.2, since it was recorded a few days ago. I also activated the SSAO and disabled the AA (since it looks really bad with SSAO, and I don't mind a few jaggies).



Yesterday I completed the Playstation 2 version and, even having far more performance issues, it feels 10x better. At least GSS is improving it, which is something that I didn't expect.
