Project 2DFX - SA Mod Showroom #1

[@bretvyon2336]

This is the greatest mod ever for me, I like to keep my San Andreas pretty vanilla but this just adds a new level of atmosphere to the game. It just makes the world feel fully alive.

[@TJGM]

Agreed. The game feels extremely dead at night when you go back to playing without this mod, it's a necessity if you ask me.

​@@TJGM Hello man. I have a weird problem with my game. Like I see textures like hills and big buildings like SF pointy buildings loading every inch in real time as Iam passing by them when flying. The problem I have is buildings load right in front of me. Any way to fix them?

[@oceancat8725]

11:11 personally i like lower draw distance closer to the og PS2 version a little more than that, because of colorful fog, i love the retro gradient vibes and colorful silhouettes of trees and buildings it's aesthetic

[@MadWatcher]

I believe the draw distance for the PS2 version was 300, but could be wrong as it was kind of a pain to find out

[@TJGM]

NOTES/UPDATES: 03/02/2023 -I've updated the configuration files with the following changes: -"TimedObjectDrawDistance" has been changed from a value of 6000 meters to a multiplier of 5 instead in the recommended and screenshot configurations. If the draw distance of timed objects is too high, the game will crash when closing the game, not really a big issue, but it can be annoying. Setting this to a multiplier of 5 will allow you to see all timed objects on the map at any distance, but should stop the crashing when exiting the game. -I've un-commented (the forward slashes at the start of settings that disables them) all of the settings that already had their value set to 0, as 0 disables the setting anyway, so commenting settings out wasn't necessary. -For the recommended and screenshot configurations, I've changed "GenericObjectsDrawDistance" to 0, as generic objects are already covered under "AllNormalObjectsDrawDistance", so it makes no difference. "VegetationDrawDistance" remains at the same values though, which overwrites "AllNormalObjectsDrawDistance" as explained in the video. ----- Join the official TJGM Community Discord server!

Thank you!

[@txcrix9236]

Wow thank you SO MUCH for doing this video. I've had the 2dfx mod and Silentpatch for a long time couldn't get them to work properly. At the time I couldn't find any walkthroughs that explained in a way I could understand. I didn't realize I could do so much with the config file. The main killer for me was crashing into "invisible" trees while flying around the country areas among other things. Your detailed step by step instructions for installing and using all the config settings for 2dfx (draw distance!) has finally made this game enjoyable for me again. I spent hours listening to this video and tinkering with the settings. I really can't thank you enough for this. :)

[@TJGM]

Thank you! Glad I could help.

[@txcrix9236]

@@TJGM So I started having some occasional crashes during cutscenes and when entering a vehicle. It seems pretty random because I'll restart the game and (for example) restart the mission and the cutscenes etc will play out just fine. The crash seems to happen during camera transitions. For example I'll enter a vehicle and as the camera changes from the drivers side door to behind the car the game will crash. *sometimes* Did you experience that when you first started using the 2dfx mod?

Fantastic Video! I saw your post on GTAforums about how you made a video explaining it and it covered all my questions about this mod thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I generally don't use graphic enhancing mods but damn this one is pretty neat.

[@AFT_05G]

11:18 I wonder how this 6km is calculated,there is no measurement system in the game.Yeah with that draw distance map looks kinda small and reasonable to be only 6km by 6km from above but i still wonder. Although in some games 6km feels gigantic due to different FOV and slow traveling,while in San Andreas you can pretty much see the entire map length in-game from CJ's perspective here 12:39

[@zytolen5356]

Wow! Great video, the explanation is smooth.

[@unoriginalperson72]

I'd personally set the StaticShadowsIntensity to 0.1 or 0.5 because of areas with a lot of lamps cause the lights to overlap and be super bright

[@h.m.6423]

One of the best mods ever for GTA SA. Wonder why nobody has been able to increase grass draw distance, and will it ever be possible to increase it? Thanks for the video.

[@TJGM]

I made a CLEO script to increase grass draw distance years ago. However there seems to be a limit to how much grass can be on the screen, so it basically makes no difference. :(

[@h.m.6423]

@@TJGM have Limit Adjusters' authors tried to address this issue? I'm also having trouble getting DirectX 2 and SkyGfx to work together without glitches. SkyGfx fixes so many bad prelight issues, like some areas with are either too dark or too bright without it. And i have prelight fixes mod on. Enb accentuates those issues. But also combining it with ENB disables shadows, unless i turn some off Pipelines and PS2 Modulate. It also makes the game darker and adds more contrast. Now i've contacted SkyGfx's author and posted in official thread but nobody offered a solution. Have you tried combining them?

[@h.m.6423]

@@TJGM also, is there a mod that enables dual pass texture filtering except SkyGfx? Silentpatch used to have it, too.

[@TJGM]

@@h.m.6423 As far as I know, no. Maybe fastman has with his limit adjuster, but I doubt it. Honestly ENB's and SkyGFX just don't play well with each other, I'd say it's more up to ENB developers to make sure it's compatible with SkyGFX's several options than the other way around. I don't believe there's another mod which enables dual pass unfortunately, so the only way is with SkyGFX.

[@h.m.6423]

@@TJGM you mentioned in the video that binaryipl.cs causes glitches but i did not experience any of them. I have applied Largeadress to game .exe and set streaming memory to 2048 MB in Mixsets, and i usually play 30 minute to 1 hour sessions, so i wonder why would it cause glitches in the first place? Maybe a memory leak?

@@vangezy6456 Original looks kinda garbage when compared to the definitive edition side by side, the only thing that GSG really messed up graphically are the models and even then that wasn't a huge issue and most have been fixed.

[@GTAClassicGamer99]

This mod was pretty cool to test out, I only had one issue with it though, the Sandstorm doesn't seem to cover much distance at all when it happens, what options do you recommend to make it where Sandstorm covers a lot of distance?

[@apoletestry3766]

if you have a fairly mid ranged pc with an intel core i5 from at least five or three years ago and a GPU with similar performance to a GeForce GTX 970, Radeon RX 480 or GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB. I highly recommend this config; StaticShadowsDrawDistance = 200.0 MinDrawDistanceOnTheGround = 1500.0 TimedObjectsDrawDistance = 1000 LODObjectsDrawDistance = 1500.0 GenericObjectsDrawDistance = 200.0 AllNormalObjectsDrawDistance = 200.0 VegetationDrawDistance = 600.0 PreloadLODs = 1 This config is especially good for a modded GTA San Andreas (atleast in my experimentation) with HD texture packs like the ROSA one, and other stuff like vehicle reflections from the SkyGFX mod.

@TJGM Thank you brother. I spent a while inside ini. Files configuring draw distance and stuff but nothing worked.
