New Graphics Effects!

If someone don't like the floating red lights at LS airport, and you don't have to remove them, you can lower them by modifying LS.txt:

find all lines which starting with "3666" and change the "12.96875" value in each line with "9.00000"

By doing this you lowering the red lights close to the ground.

the light mod also add the ability to see objets from long distances, a example are the trees at County Side

The IDE_DD_tweaker.asi plugin does that.

There is a newer version of it by the way, which contains a gta limit adjuster. This is what you can get with that:

There is no holes in the map anywhere!!! And you can set the draw distance more by editing timecyc. Only the water glitching at west from LS. I didn't found any other glitch.

Would this work with SRT3? Or would it get opcodes? I got 2GB streamfix.

[nyolc8]

I don't know, try it, but I don't think it would cause opcodes.
I'm testing to tweak the limit_adjuster values to lower because it makes the game lagg at some places. I'm trying to achive lagg-free game without holes on the map.

[Matias]

Going to try it when i get a new pc and i install a new GTA again.
Thanks for uploading, it looks awesome! Cookie

No FPS drop, but it's requires faster HDD and more RAM. With 4GB RAM I had loading-laggs many times. Between these loading-laggs, it was butter smooth. But I removed it because of these loading-laggs, it's made for better PCs with more RAM.

I actually found out that you can lower almost every value in the limit adjuster, only two values need to be bigger than the default game values. One for the map holes (buildings), and one for the far away light effect (dummys). So I'll continue to test it and maybe I can find a nice setting to keep the load lagging down.

[Dr_Alio]

I will try it soon, thanks for sharing.

Me too, cookie for ya Nado.

After ~40 gtasa restarting, it looks like limit_adjuster asi plugin doesn't need to fix holes in map. The IDE_DD_tweaker does the job, just need to set patch_LOD, and refine the value of it to match your timecyc farclp values.

I combined the SF.txt, LV.txt, LS.txt, CS.txt into just one LS.txt file because sometimes only LS had the far view light effect. (so sometimes only the LS.txt file got loaded up)
