It's been night time for what seems like bloody ages, when the sun was setting I didn't notice any God Ray's so I might not be there yet. I need to see what the values for the DX10 features are in more than one user.ltx file. Which is why I've asked for a maxed out one.



I hope it works, it'd be nice if it works.

DOM, what settings are you running at? Are you using DX10 mode?

max setting cuz the extras im thinking are the ones you cant turn on in dx 9 which they both look good but if you really max them in dx 10 out in the advance settings kills my fps but havent tryed any mods for that just 500kb

Hmm... ok, weird. It says in your user.ltx file that your settings are High (Enhanced Dynamic Lighting comes up as Extreme). It also states that a lot of your DX10 settings are turned off.



Which isn't good. Another thing is the values for DX10 features on mine are the same as yours, apart from the ones I've changed.



Not to worry, I'm still going through yours comparing mine, I just hope that the user.ltx file is just a generic file. Hopefully I'll be able to get there. I'll keep everyone posted with my progress.

Now to test the 8.10 Beta drivers in C.S.

Thanks man, that'd be awesome. Ben was kind enough to send me his and I found out that the command, renderer renderer sets the game up in the specific engine, for example r1 would be DX8, r2 is DX9 (I think r2.5 is DX9.0c) and r3 is DX10. However, setting mine to r3 results in it defaulting to DX8 (Static Lighting).

Back to the drawing board.

There ya go. I got DX10, and the depth of field mod on this one.

Thanks man!

For CS, I highly recommend this mod: http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Terrain_Pack;94510x#1648833


if your system can handle the extra work, it's well worth it!! The actual difference in game is night and day, absolutely outstanding work.


BTW, all, I've done a rough conversion of my ambient audio overhaul mod for Clear Sky, it should be available on filefront sometime tomorrow, look for it in the list of new files - feedback is very much welcomed!!

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Yeah that mod looks pretty cool, the only thing stopping me getting it is this...

Think that looks stupid.

 

[ShadowFold]

Yea.. Most of them look really good like the grass stuff but the concrete and city looking textures look kinda like balloons invaded the floor.

somewhat - but it's not as pronounced when you're waling around, screenshots don't always capture things well . . .

still, for a work in progress, it's damn nice work!

 

[Jess Stingray]

I don't like that when you join a faction, when you walk into the enemies base, you still put your weapon away... DO NOT WANT.

 

[ShadowFold]

OK that mod is awesome. The pictures really kill it.. I uninstalled SHARPER for that

 

[DOM]

in DX10 theres some glitching when walking around anyone else getting this ?

only in DX10 not DX9

 

[ShadowFold]

Glitching? I haven't noticed anything yet.. I'm still on 1.5.04 tho, waiting on a 1.5.05 no cd patch.

 

[DOM]

yeah like artifacts in the game but only happens in dx10

no cd patch ?? Patch V1.5.05 been out since the 30th retail ver is for cd and download is for stream

 

[ShadowFold]

I know, I have a 1.5.04 no cd crack because I don't like playing with CD's in my drive. And so my friend can play as well as me

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Bit of an update on the DX10 in XP venture...

It's not happened. Well, not yet anyroad. Even though I've set the the correct renderer up in my user.ltx it still only uses DX9.0c. I've even gone so far as to get my friends with Vista to send me over some DX10 files in hope that game might call upon them.

Still, not giving up just yet.

 

[ShadowFold]

Did the rain mapping work atleast?

By that d'you mean the Wet Surfaces? If so, then no.

 

[olithereal]

[InnocentCriminal]

I can't say I have, have you? Would it possible for you to bung up some Before and After shots if you have?

 

[olithereal]

Sure thing. DL'ing, will post some before/after later tonight.

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Awesome, I'll have to check that out tomorrow as it's almost midnight for me and I'm up in just over 5 and half hours. :/

 

[ShadowFold]

I had it but I didn't see a difference.

 

[olithereal]

Well I tried it and as shadowfold said, there isn't much difference, let's just say that everything's a bit more...grainy...looks good tho. Only played 5 mins tonight and didn't get SS's. Will get some tomorrow if you still want some.
