Yes, CLEO three-quarters..

Description

This mod adds extra optional settings to the stream.ini file, which already contains several settings for GTASA.

There are currently 17 extra settings. I may add more in the future.


Options

• Frame Delay
• Frame Limit
• Max AI Peds
• Max AI Vehicles
• Black Roads Fix
• License Plate Filtering
• Stencil Shadow Opacity
• Disable Interior Reflections (alt+tab bugfix)
• Disable Motion Blur
• Disable Sound
• Disable Collision Particles
• Disable Flashes
• Disable Heat Haze
• Disable Clouds
• Disable Target Blip
• Disable Specular Vehicle Lighting
• Disable Vehicle Lighting
• Disable Grass

This mod works with both CLEO 4 and CLEO 3.

Visit the CLEO Website for the latest version of CLEO.


I'm working on adding new tweaks and bugfix options, so if you have any specific requests (and know how it can be done), feel free to ask here.

Oooh that's a nice way to add bug fixes.

[Deji]

I've figured out the relation between the framedelay value and FPS.

Basically, 1000 divided by the framedelay value is what FPS you will be able to achieve. By default, the value is 14, which means you will get a maximum of 71 FPS. A value of 10 would give you a max of 100 FPS, a value of 5 would give you a max of 200 FPS, etc.

And of course, maximum FPS with this value set to 0 is 1000, which is one frame per millesecond... Pretty damn fast (which is why it's not an advisable value for high-end PC's).


UPDATE
New Version: 0.3b

This update should fix most compatibility issues between different 1.0 .exe's and adds 2 new settings... huzzah!


UPDATE
New Version: 0.4b

Adds 4 new options.

Reason for edit: another update, foo'

Would be nice if you could add an option to disable grass and vegetation.

Using CLEO4:
0A8C: write_memory 0x5BF8EA size 5 value 0x90 virtual_protect 1

CLEO3 friendly:
0A8C: write_memory 0x5BF8EA size 4 value 0x90909090 virtual_protect 1
0A8C: write_memory 0x5BF8EE size 1 value 0x90 virtual_protect 1

I havent noticed any changes by using this address, though.

[Deji]

Those NOP's seem to stop the grass from loading. And since the game loads before CLEO Scripts run, that in a CLEO Script would have no real effect. You'd have to make those patches in an ASI.

You can do this to disable dynamic grass:

SANNY

0A8C: write_memory 0x5DBAE0 size 1 value 0xC3 virtual_protect 1

And to re-enable it:

SANNY

0A8C: write_memory 0x5DBAE0 size 1 value 0x83 virtual_protect 1

However, I wouldn't put it in StreamIniExtender as I'm not fully sure that these operations only disable the dynamic grass. So if everything else seems normal while using these patches, let me know and I'll add it to StreamIniExtender.

[uokka]

Thanks. I will try this out.

EDIT:
First few minutes works great so far.
More FPS on 'very high' graphics setup.
It seems the shadows arent actually that recource dependant!

Yes, because what slows the game down in Very High is the amount of grass, not only shadows, if you install a mod like SRT and go through the settings you can see the real difference.

Reason for edit: lol it's srt not enb

[methodunderg]

When I change the value of 'Stencil Shadow Opacity' to anything higher than 1, then the shadows are pitch black.. I just want my shadows 'bout twice as dark as original ones. ENB shadows are too dark for my liking.

@Deji
Remember when I asked after the CloudHeight? I think the one in SALA (and maybe the one that you tried to make; that you said didn't have an effect) it changed the height of the birds. I've got mine set to 10.00 in SALA, and they fly 'bout the height of the power/lamp posts.

[Deji]

The birds have always been known to fly that low.

[methodunderg]

Oh ok; I just probably didn't pay much attention. I thought they always flew just below the clouds ..

[Spider-Vice]

I think the birds fly at a set height, I think you can even see them going through the ground on some higher parts of the map.

[Deji]

Their height is randomised based on the player (or rather, the camera) position and height. The SALA values on cloud height are only used during cloud processing.

Holy crap I just noticed the mistake I made here, I meant SRT and not ENB.

[uokka]

Aha, now it makes sense..


Still no problems with disabled grass after hours of playing.

[Deji]

Updated StreamIniExtender with the disable grass option.

[uokka]

Hi again,
I would like to request an option to disable 3D shadows for cars and buildings.

As I can now disable grass (yay! still no problems, btw.), I set my GFX settings to "verry high", but only to enable (better) mip mapping for roads and landscape. This also eliminates the black roads 'bug' and ofcourse looks better than completely disable mip mapping to fix this.
By the way, sa_hax_gfxhack.asi, made by Dexx, forces the 2D car shadows to be enabled on high GFX settings.

I tryed some "stencilshadowopacity" settings.
A value of "02" makes the shadows invisible for me, but I think the game still renders them and it consumes resources..

[DK22]

Maybe adding this?

{$CLEO}
// mirror (cull reflection) image size
const
bDISABLE_STENCIL_SHADOWS = 0@
HQ_RASTER_WIDTH = 2048 // default 1024
HQ_RASTER_HEIGHT = 1024 // default 512
LQ_RASTER_WIDTH = 1024 // if visual fx settings are low/medium q., default 512
LQ_RASTER_HEIGHT = 512 // default 256
end
bDISABLE_STENCIL_SHADOWS = 1

0A8C: 0x7230CC 4 HQ_RASTER_HEIGHT 1
0A8C: 0x7230D1 4 HQ_RASTER_WIDTH 1
0A8C: 0x7230EA 4 HQ_RASTER_HEIGHT 1
0A8C: 0x7230EF 4 HQ_RASTER_WIDTH 1
0A8C: 0x723121 4 LQ_RASTER_HEIGHT 1
0A8C: 0x723126 4 LQ_RASTER_WIDTH 1
0A8C: 0x723133 4 LQ_RASTER_HEIGHT 1
0A8C: 0x723138 4 LQ_RASTER_WIDTH 1
if bDISABLE_STENCIL_SHADOWS == 1
then
    0A8C: 0x53C1AB 5 0x90 1
end

Very useful, thanks!

With new cleo game broken on this line -> [0AA7] CALL_FUNCTION_RETURN 0x536F80. Info I get it from ScrLog.

Give it the CLEO 3 compatibility extension e.g. StreamIniExtender.cs3
