Hello, this is a discussion topic of A-VA mod for GTA San Andreas. This mod will bring some features (as graphics, as scripted) from all console versions (PS2 and XBOX) of GTA San Andreas to PC version with maximum similarity. Who played in all GTA San Andreas platforms knows what I mean.

PS2A V0.2 ISSUES FAQ: Q: "I run a server on the MTA, I receive this type of message - "This server is not support d3d9.dll". How I can fix this problem?" A: "Some MTA servers actually doesn't support EnbSeries plugin (file d3d9.dll), which is built in this mod. Try to go to the root of GTA San Andreas and delete d3d9.dll file from there, but note that the additional color correction and reflection shader Enb (if installed) will be removed from the game."
Q: "The game crashes after a certain playing time or some time after starting the game." A: "Apparently, the problem in the CLEO-script, responsible for the effect of sun haze. Because it's under BETA stage, then there are some game crashes may be. Try and CLEO 4 (there is in the game with the mod), if not help, remove the script PS2A_FX_SunHaze.CS in your CLEO, which is located in the root folder of GTA San Andreas. "
Q: "The game crashes when I go to SAMP." A: "See the previous question."
Q: "The effect of solar glare is not working at MTA, but it works in single player GTA San Andreas, how to fix it." A: "Alas, while it can not be repaired because the MTA does not support CLEO platform on which to built this effect. However, one person, under the name Euda, trying to make a LUA version of this effect, which is compatible with the MTA."
Q: "The effect of solar glare is very slow. The size of the solar flare suddenly changes, sun glare sometimes departs from the sun." A: "The system script is difficult, the data that takes this effect is updated every 20 minutes of playing time. This is a BETA version, will try next to fix this problem."

Mod will be released after 3-4 hours. Left to do: countryside and desert color corrections, adding char lighting on all weathers, edit draw distance (make all like in LS)
QUOTE
These mods are going round in gta online? 'samp'
I'm testing only on MTA, all works fine and without crashes, I don't think that there will be any problems with SAMP
NOTE: I'm not editing any sky colors. It's modified high color correction affects to different sky color and color of lighting.

my god I can not wait to launch this mod a doubt the sun is the same timecyc ps2? that strong sunshine and beautiful

Unfortunately, no, it stay default, but for now. I'll try to make sunhaze in next versions, by FXP or shader and make color more yellow (orange), not white.
nice job. but did you edit timecyc.dat or make some new script file? because timecyc.dat in PS2 is the same as PC version (except the lighting on character, though)

I've edited original timecyc.dat, because colormod doesn't give a maximum same result, the sky color is stay as it was and it makes some bugs with yellow color cars and sun. SA timecyc contains two color that used for color corrections and their alpha. I editing this colors to more bright and increasing alpha-channel. That's all. CLEO don't have a needed opcodes, and I can't write ASI scripts. I think that editing timecyc color corrections is the best way.

It shows how will looks this sun effect. I'm now thinking how to do it, it's not ready for now. This screen has been made by creating static (static is like a light from street lamp i.e. it's not moveable) corona using MTA Map Editor, put player near it and stay it in correct form. Basic configurations (offsets, color and other) for this effect is now ready, but script itself is not ready. I'll try to release it in next version. Sorry. This version will contains new timecycle and low-reflections on vehicle. Next version may will contain this sunhaze effect.
I always found SA PS2 looked nice than the PC version. PS2 version looked nice and it's fits perfect in these warm hot looking envoirenments of the cities.
That sun thing, did you fixed that or are you still working on it?
And ow, is it possible to have helicopters have real rotors? The PC have really stupid rotors, not like from PS2.
Sure, I've probably mentioned about this five times

You mean that "ugly" looking by colormod? Fixed. If you mean sunhaze effect - I dunno how to make it by CLEO way, not enough opcodes. Maybe I'll make it by FXP or shader.

That blurness effect? I think there is a 3D modelling and animating.

great job but has a small problem SAMP not working in the new heaven that you did
Hmm... Try to delete EnbSeries. Enb is not so important anyway, but you'll lose reflections and picture will be brighter (you can set lower in options)
Attention:
