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.
