*** Grand Theft Auto IV - MODS & TWEAKS ***

Personally I disagree, GTA campaign is boring and the multiplayer game itself is lacking. The only thing this game has going for it is the great open world. Also without the third party mods I would barely be playing it.

+1 totally agree,i played this game when it came out,found it boring compared to previous gta games like san andreas so i uninstalled it within 2 hrs.

Now that there is a wealth of realism mods out like cautious drivers,weightless,reaslistic weaponry etc it makes it so much better as i feel a lot of these mods should been included in the vanilla game.

@ Everyone....Talking about ENB guys you need to test them all out on your pc as they all work differently,i tried ICE,L3VO and BONE and i settled for L3VO.
Also you cant mod this game in a couple hrs,it takes days of testing,reinstallation,getting the right scripthooks for the right patch etc,then testing out certain mods etc.

Also use patch 1.0.4.0 as its much better than 1.0.7.0,i tried and tested both and version 4 is better,no ifs no buts.

Im using a car pack and have everything on full,some car packs give you massive texture popup because of the amount of data that each car takes up,so i went with this pack which has great graphics but is not extreme,its also a carpack that gives you great variety and not all supercars,i tried a lot of other carpacks and they gave me texture popup,this one however kept the popup minimal to virtually non existent.

Thats exactly what i'm using but you don't need to download cge's separately, everything you need for the enb is in my zip. In fact, if you install the cge one first you'll have broken skyboxes.

The realizm mod is mainly textures, I can't use it all as it does not seem to work with EFLC but there are some nice textures in there.

Still got work to do on my configuration...

i forgot to say.....
In order to make trafficload to work, you must have some files in gta 4 directory:
- xliveless 0.999b (xlive.dll)
- scripthook.dll (0.4.0 for patch 1.0.0.4 and 0.5.1 for patch 1.0.0.7)
- asiloader (dsound.dll) -THIS IS BAD, DO NOT DO THIS, XLIVELESS DOES THIS FOR YOU
- trafficload.ini and trafficload.asi
- msvcr100d.dll
 
Got a new sky in from icenhancer, the clouds move around better, also got lens flare working nicely now too.

Some more random shots, yep I know AA is turned down, have been messing with those settings as on ultra smaa injector does not seem to look as good as the enb fxaa and taking more fps.








I need to get the taxi fix installed.
 
skyfall can you list in order of your mods and how you installed cheers :p

going to download this as never really played it even though owned it for years :D
 
I installed the ENB first and then the Texture pack, the SMAA injector is part of the pack now. There are a few other things I have installed but I'm trying to figure out what I actually have put in there. Only minor things though.
 
Just got using your ENB and it's awesome, however the DoF/all the blur is too much for me, how would I go about 'turning it down' so to speak?

Oh and also the sky turns completely red, and textures on the road bug out and are just completely pale grey for a few seconds when I drive around sometimes?

Open up enbsettings.txt and change the DOF amount and or distance.

The red sky bug is something to do with the shaders and pretty much present in all ENBs, I rarely get it, not had the road bug though.

I would first try running as admin, other than that unless you get the freeze without any mods too it is most likely an ENB and probably the shaders.

icenhancer comes with a shader backup folder in the zip I think, might be worth popping the stock ones in just to see if that is the problem.


On another note, how are people finding the brightness in my config now? It still looks pretty bright on my monitor but I've looked at screenhshots on another few tablet/monitors and looking a bit darker. I think the problem is that I have everything full up but because it's an LED monitor my blacks are still pretty deep.

Skyfaller how to get your textures to be so smooth and less jagged?

i used the AA enabler from the Ice enhancer but that caused major slowdown.

even setting up AA in the GTA to x16 doesn't change the detail of the game.
