Few days ago i saw screens of San Andreas at rockstargames.com/sanandreas .
And i say 'WOW!' , i did not see the graphics in SA like that before , 'I want this graphics at my PC !' .
Rockstar decreased SA PC version Motion Blur abilities to pure image warping at high car speeds and it's all .
I tryed to find blur creation in gta_sa.exe and i find it !
I already add new features of Motion Blur into the game .

Features :
- Motion Blur is activated for planes, boats and helicopters .
- Motion Blur works even then, when the player is on foot.
- Motion Blur is changing when car(made by R*)/Player(by me)
speed changes .
- Motion Blur minimal creation speed is set to zero , so blur
is working all the time .
- New Motion Blur parameters are added , so you can configure
your Motion Blur better .

Installing :
Unpack this archive into GTA San Andreas main folder .
ASI Loader is used here , if you have one installed , you may
not replace its files .
Run gta_sa.exe

Editing parameters :
1) Open "MotionBlur.ini" using any text editor (notepad).
2) `MAIN` Params :
BlurValue - main blur value .
BlurPlaneValue - main blur value for planes .
HeatValue - air rocking (1/0 - on/off)
3) `BLUR_STAGE_N` Params:
Each stage is independent from other stages .
Main param of each block is `PlayerSpeed` , this is the speed ,
what player must have to set current blur paramemeters to
parameters of this block .
PlayerSpeed - speed of current player .
Warp - image warping .
ObjectLoop - loop of objects .
CamShake - camera shaking .

P.S. : There are 2 config files :
"MotionBlur.ini" - my Motion Blur config .
"MotionBlur_Orig.ini" - original blur config , you may delete
this file if you don't need it


Screens // it's not all abilities of Motion Blur Advanced )

>>> btw can you try to get a 'blur mask' like others games uses?
i didn't try to do this and i don't how can realize this

About the Float Separator: I'm not sure which language you used for coding the tool, but at least in Delphi you can set the Separator by a global Variable eg. DecimalSeparator := '.';. Maybe you can solve the problem in a similar way.

I don't know if it's possible but maybe you can try to add a sort of blur just after you used the bazooka, sort of an effect of the loudness then. I see that you got a blur when your falling so I thought: when you smack down to the ground and stand up, you should get a blur to, this would be so much more game realistic. Hope this tool get's further development. All your tools are great btw.

[Alexander Blade]

Yeah, that will be realistic. same with car hits, granade explosion, etc... maybe if alexander releases those scripts that controls the blur, it can be done.

[pull_my_trigga_en_call_me_nigga]

is it possible to get the effect that in games called depth of fields with this mod?

[Alexander Blade]

[Jost_Vice]

try 2 experiment

[pull_my_trigga_en_call_me_nigga]

jost_vice that was a good reference .i didn t know it(DOF) has mathematical things like that.
in simple words depth of field is an effect that gives blur for far objects.

this is my motionblur.ini code :

[MAIN]
BlurValue=100
BlurPlaneValue=20
HeatValue=0


[BLUR_STAGE_1]
PlayerSpeed=0,00
Warp=3
ObjectLoop=0
CamShake=0


I thought maybe we can get a better effect

[CHILLI]

pull ma trigga and call me nigga: I tried your settings, you cant see anything when going fast like with the banshee or infernus. I like your settings, bring the realistic stuff rockstar forgot also check out the SA Gfx mod DexX and paroXum is working on! awesome combination!

[Alexander Blade]

>> you cant see anything when going fast
u can change values in next stages to smallest
