GTA4,你需要知道的某些东西!

GTA系列游戏中,车辆一直都是最受喜爱的载具.尽管开着飞机畅游长空,鸟瞰都市,尽管开着摩托享受速度与激情,这些都是快乐的体验.但比起驾驶一辆豪华的Limo来说,都够不上范儿!来认识一下GTA4中的所有车辆吧,哪些强劲,哪些帅气,哪些难看得要命:



带我去看车车!!!



车辆不光用来酷炫,还是逃避警车追逐的好工具,但有时候逃不掉了,那就硬着头皮操家伙咯.于是乎,枪支,成了GTA系列第二大令玩家痴迷的装备.看看这个页面,也许能找到你趁手的:

带我去看枪枪!!!



多个朋友多碗饭,朋友多了活到老,古老的谚语无一不述说着朋友之间珍贵的情谊.拍马屁要拍到点儿,GTA4中Niko的朋友们,都有哪些特点,尤其是那些美人儿,眼光有多么挑剔?要想投其所好,增加好感,最好看看这个:

带我去看朋友!!!



在庞大的LC城迷失了自己的方向么?两种解决办法:一,买一本纽约地图;二,用Google Map.不过这里的GoogleMap就不再Google纽约了,而是实实在在的LibertyCity.不信,你去看看:

The Majestic 逃脱之王?

Brandon Smith has recently released the most epic(yes i'll say it, epic) machinima, using GTAIV, to date. The video includes awesome shoot-outs, chases and camera angles, all rendered and uploaded to view in HD. This video truely shows how good GTAIV actually is, but it also shows what bugs the video editor and the game still have, which is sad to see almost 2 months after the PC release. Brandon Smith had the following to say: "I am a 3rd year college student and I'd love to do this kinda stuff for a living but since theres no money in it... I'm almost forced to do something else... This will be my last project for a while, until I can get my feet on the ground in a new semester of college." Without further ado, watch the HD version of The Majestic right here and don't forget to comment!

这是一部被该网站编辑强烈推荐的巨作.视频包括了很多刺激的射击追逐镜头.视频完全展示了GTA4的高自由度和电影感觉,但游戏发布后的一些Bug和问题依然存在.作者Brandon Smith是个大学三年级学生,他可能不短时间离开GTA4电影制作,因为手头比较紧...不管怎样,看看视频先!



事实上,这的确是我看过的最长的一部视频了,基本上可称为完整的短片.整个视频的结构还算比较紧凑的,不过对白实在太少,另外选择的音乐并没有认真的进行剪切,这些都比较遗憾.逃脱大师的整个逃脱行为很流畅,重点的出场和特写都具备.可以算长片,但不能算是巨作.我们国内的好多朋友都可以做得比这个更精彩!

This is how looks and works perfection!
by RON123

As you can know, I am "RON123" for you, have always wanted to play perfectly GTA IV -the most difficult PC game to run on your computer.
Few days ago I found the last twick that will boost PFS for me, the one that will give me the best GTA IV experience that I have ever had.

Not only that I probably can play better then you and 99% of gamers, I am also getting one of the best quality frames in the world.

First of all the results: I able to play a very smooth gameplay in the next settings:
1920x1200 res, max settings gameplay.


GTA requirements:

First I must explain what high edge hardware GTA IV requires.
This is the only game in the market that
requires any 3-4 cores normal CPU and in addition high amount of VRAM.
As a result, one of the above is a common "bottleneck", It means that upgrading your rig without solving the bottleneck won't really improve performane.
I for example, OC my q6600 to 3.00 GHZ (while using the stock cooler) and did'nt get big improvement, and in addition OC my GPU:
core speed 600 to 642
Shader clock 1500 to 1605
memory clock 900 to 1070
Note: numbers in MHZ, OC while using the stock cooler

This upgrades won't change much for me, because my bottleneck in max settings is the 512 VRAM MB.
The normal framerate (not my) depends mostly on the CPU speed.
However, the quality of the frames depends mostly on amount of VRAM, as textures quality and resolution go up then VRAM requirement will increase either. .
Bad CPU will cause low framerate and shortage of VRAM will cause all the known bugs and poor image quality (all bugs can be solved).


There are many performace mods that cost game quality for increasing the framerate, I choose not to use them, because I want to play perfectly as Rockstar originally intended.
Now I will post all the useful twicks that won't harm the quality of the frames:

First, the common twicks:
1. Use windows XP/7 ,-Vista is killing the framerate (some 25%-50% in average).
2. Close all running programs, including GTAbrowser.exe and RGSC.exe (social club, if you use it).
3. Download the last driver and patch.
4. Give to GTAIV.exe high priority in task manager
5. Switch off the capture movie option (in game's menu).
6. Clean all the unnecessary services, can be done in two ways:
A. use msconfig: press "start", then "run", type their "msconfig", in "genetal" press "selective startup" uncheck first second and fourth marks, then look in this window for "services", press it, than mark "hide all microsoft services", after it press "Disable all", then press apply and restart windows in a clean mod, you will see that most of your games will run better, in the new mod don't enter the Internet and other programs (only games), from "msconfig" you can choose "Normal startup" for going beck to all of your programs (will restart windows).
B. Download AlacrityPC program (link ), which allow you do save a clean profile and load it before lunching the game without restarting Windows (my favorite).

Second,the less common twicks:
7. use Xliveless mod (link) just to get rit of social club and windows live, it won't change performance.
8. I using the RMClock to lock the throttle of the CPU while in game, it seems that gta iv doesn't know to do it itself like any other game.(link)
9. To improve the overall frames quality it better to force AA (I did it from Nvidia's control penal). Do it only if you got some 30 frame in gameplay, because it uses resources and will harm the framerate(the improvement is really nice but not like an original AA)
10. Now I will explain how to use the commandline, the most importent twicks for best performances:
"-norestrictions": will allow the game to use max settings but wont boost performance.
"-novblank": Won't limit your framerate and will allow it to go as high as it can, very useful.
"-availablevidmem x.xx": this command will solve magically all the bugs (missing textures/ slow loading textures/ flickering shadows and more) and can improve any quality of frames. Use it only if you has really bad quality (otherwise ignore it). This twick uses your RAM in addition to your VRAM, as a result it costs in a lower framerate, as more RAM you use then the drop in framerame will be bigger. You don't need to use a lot of VRAM just 200MB-300MB of extra RAM will solve all the missing textures and 50MB-80MB of ram will solve all the little bugs like flickering objects. x.xx is a multiplier of your RAM. For example 2.00 will make 500MB VRAM to "500MB VRAM" + "500MB RAM" = "1000MB totul memory" usage.
"-percentvidmem xxx": I thought that this command is useless, but I found out few days a ago, that this commande is just want I needed for perfect framerate, you must use it while using "-availablevidmem x.xx" in order to get 100% of your VRAM usage, which will boost extremly the framerate for users of ""-availablevidmem x.xx". Set xxx to 100.
11. This is a optional twick, it will change the way your rig uses memory, it should improve the min framerate but will cost in a lower max framerate,I advice to just try it for a 15-20 fps gameplay. Change this: "Open regedit (from "run") and go to hkey local machine/system/current control set/control/session manager/memory management and change disablepagingexecutive and largesystemcache to 1". -you can test it and change it back to 0 like it was before.

My experience:
The q6600 2.4 GHZ will give 35-50 frames in any settings, 512MB of VRAM is too low for even 1680x1050 high textures gameplay, the result is many bugs including the missing textures,a 1920x1200 max settings gameplay requires 750MB of memory in order to be free of even small bugs, I set "-availablevidmem 1.5" for usage of 749MB, my framerate drops to 28-32 while driving in an OC Q6600 to 3.00, This OC gave me just extra 3-4 FPS. this is my full commandline: "-norestrictions -novblank -percentvidmem 100 -availablevidmem 1.5".
It's very hard to test the unstable framerate of this game, I advice to test with fraps (benchmark won't give real results) while normaly driving the town in daylight.

proof:
here is a gameplay (20-25 fps) in max settings + AA, I used the stock speeds of my CPU and GPU (no overclockig), Fraps takes some 4-5 frames from game, so add them (in your mind).(I used all the twicks above without number 11) -max settings +forced AA Gameplay in youtube

I hope I really helped to most of you, and if you already knew it all, so this guide is for an average gamer.
Note: I ready to prove all I sayed above, and I will post extra staff in this thread later.

edit :
I said in the post, that this is not a real/original AA, GTA won't support it. forcing AA from nvidia, even a high AA of 8xQ is not the real thing, it is just looks a little better, the camera moves smoother, it is not a big change, just the overall is better, I will try to capture it and post, I dont have an HD camera.
I looked pixel by pixel and this is not a real AA, I shound't even use this word.
it looks like it is filtering better when this option is on, the colours looks sharper.
I just should say better image quality and that is it.

希望以上方法对GTA4Gamer有效.

Grand Theft Auto IV TweakGuide

Grand Theft Auto IV TweakGuide
written by Ettans @ iv-scripting.pri.ee
Update: New information in Part 2 concerning FarClp @ 3500.00

Part 1: Patching the files

First thing you should do, is download the GTA IV Magic Patcher by aru, in order to edit the files. Now, once you've downloaded and extracted it, open it and you'll see this:


If you haven't already patched your files, click on Validate Files, once done, click on Apply Patch. Now you can edit your GTA IV files and you'll also have backups of every file, with .magic as their file extension. You can revert the files anytime, by clicking on Verify and then Recover. You can now close the program.


Part 2: Changing the view-distance

That was quite easy, wasn't it? Browse to your Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\data folder and open the file named timecyc.dat. I suggest you use Notepad++ for the editing, since it'll look very messy in the default Notepad. Once you have the file open, look for the fiel called "FarClp", this controls the distance from which buildings, trees etc. are drawn at. The smaller the value, the shorter the view-distance. The default value is 1500.00, which is very big and quite pointless. To change the view-distance, simply change the value to a smaller one, I use 500.00 personally. If you're either too lazy to change it or whatever your reason is, I've attached the edited file at the bottom of this thread.

Comparison screenshots:

FarClp: 3500.00

Note: This gave me about +5-8 FPS, I suggest you try it out. I'm not entirely sure, but I think this has got something to do with PreFetch.

FarClp: 1500.00 (Default value)


FarClp: 750.00


FarClp: 500.00


In-game settings used:

Note: All screenshots were taken at the same place, time and weather, on-top of the GetALife building.

Download timecyc.dat (FarClp 3500.00)
Download timecyc.dat (FarClp 750.00)
Download timecyc.dat (FarClp 500.00)
Note: Extract it using WinRar or any similar program and place the file in your Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\data folder.

Part 3: Disabling shadows

Disabling the shadows doesn't have any significant impact on the games performance, but it might be useful for you if you're really struggling with the FPS. In order to disable the shadows, you should first download Alice by Alexander Blade. Extract the file and place the Alice folder in your main Grand Theft Auto IV folder. To disable the shadows, you can either make the script yourself, or download the one I made, using Alexander Blade's example script(s). To re-enable the shadows, simply delete the disable_shadows.lua in your Grand Theft Auto IV\Alice folder.

Shadows: Enabled


Shadows: Disabled


Note: All screenshots were taken at the same place, time and weather.
Download disable_shadows.zip

Part 4: Lowering bloom intensity

Currently there's no way to completely disable the bloom in Grand Theft Auto IV, but you can lower it's intensity. To do this, browse to your Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data folder and open the file called visualSettings.dat. Open the file and find the following names:


misc.BloomIntensityClamp.HD
misc.BloomIntensityClamp.SD
misc.BloomIntensityClamp.SD.ps3



Simply change their values to 0.00. If you don't want to edit the values yourself, download the visualSettings.rar at the bottom of this part and extract it to your Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data folder.

Bloom intensity: Default


Bloom Intensity: 0.00/Disabled


Note: All screenshots were taken at the same place, time and weather.
Download visualsettings.zip

Part 5 (Optional): Lowering the amount of rain particles

A lot of people are having trouble playing Grand Theft Auto IV with it's rainy weather, this is caused by the amount of it's particles (mostly). I can't guarantee that this will give you any performance boost, but It did make my gameplay smoother. To change the amount of rain particles, browse to your Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data folder and open the file called visualsettings.dat. Find the following fields there:


rain.NumberParticles.ps3
rain.NumberParticles



Here are the values I use myself:


rain.NumberParticles.ps3 256
rain.NumberParticles 1024



So, that concludes my Grand Theft Auto IV TweakGuide. Thanks a lot for reading, hopefully this tweak will help some people. If you want to post this on your forums/website, please don't copy & paste, but put a link to this thread.

The Lost and Damned Unlocked, No scripts, but bikes, & textures!

GTA4XBX专属附加游戏已经在PC上得到解密,不过只能解开各个隐藏的物品和衣服,并不能带来剧情的增加.可毕竟有8辆新增的摩托和不少飞车党的衣服,这已经令制作游戏视频的朋友大为宽慰了!

昨天重装系统,因为GTA4的视频编辑器不断在最后时刻出错死机,今天又刷了一边索泰9800GTX+显卡的BIOS,可编辑在机场一处的视频时依然出现SMPA60错误......郁闷的消息不断,试用了一个Mod后,游戏都进不去了,哪怕我用Patch恢复也没用......nnd,现在重装整个游戏!

Yes, I did get permission from the people that are all up above!

如何制作自己的GTA4服装之定制头盔

最近为了制作GhostRider的第二部,电脑都快抽筋了.也许是安装的软件太多,现在在输出720p画面的时候总是当机,不得不重启才行,难道最后我必须用Fraps来录?

这是题外话,今天我的任务是制作一款GhostRider专用的骑士头盔.

下面是原来的服装,一套GTA3代的夹克加一双很普通的球鞋,外加一个随机的头盔:





下面是修改过的衣服,纯黑的夹克和裤子,纯黑的运动皮鞋,深红色的头罩:


背面的图案是我一件Jack&Jones夹克上的.

注意我还给裤子加了护膝!

配上黑色的头盔加上GR御用的黄色NRG900就是这个效果:




当然,这主要是截图的效果,游戏玩家都知道,游戏中,带一定的模糊,画面和静态的有所区别.日光下效果如下图:


这样看来,GhostRider的外观,比原来强上了不少,至少不会像以前那样花枝招展了.黑色的低调,阴郁,压抑和红色的暴烈,激动,这些是原来的服装所无法体现的.

我不知道其他Mod玩家是怎么摆弄的,我的目的是给GhostRider换衣服,所以主要是修改Texture即素材,Model即模型方面的不太懂,不敢乱动,所以一切都要依着现有的模型基础来修改.这次我先来修改头盔!

首先,我们需要下载一个由Aru大师制作的GTA4修改软件,Spark0.54,这个软件可以提取GTA4中间所有的的纹理素材,并加以更换.然后,注意备份好几个关键的文件,以便使用不当无法挽回.

(以下请高度注意!!!)
备份你GTA4安装路径下的\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\pc\models\cdimages文件夹,这里面包含了你可能会改动的包括人物贴图,物体贴图,建模,素材等等原始材料,总共大概750多MB.如果你只需要修改主角的服装和头盔的话,你也可以只备份cdimages文件夹下的pedprops.imgplayerped.rpf两个文件.但这些都是建议,出了纰漏还是该你自己负责哈哈!

确定上述备份工作完成,Spark下载出来是个rar压缩包(还是个zip文件我忘了),然后随意解压在某个路径下都可以,打开这个文件夹,可以看到是这样的:


双击SparkIV.exe,会打开一个浏览器:


点击Browse按钮,稍等片刻,Spark会自动查找你硬盘上安装的GTA4的路径,几秒钟的时间,它就会自动打开GTA,然后看到这样的树状浏览图:


将推子拉到最下,可以看到左侧Models下面有个cdimages文件夹,这就是我们刚才备份过的那个,点击它,右边可以看到如下文件,而黄色部分两个文件就是涉及到头盔和服装的:



pedprops即主角周边的物体素材,比如其他的人物啊,主角的头盔啊帽子啊眼镜啊等等;playerped则是主角专用的服装如夹克啊西装啊牛仔裤多袋裤和皮鞋球鞋啊,还有被官方隐藏的截指手套啊等等.

首先制作头盔,双击pedprops文件,Spark会自动打开一个新的浏览窗口展示pedprops里面的内容:


将新窗口的推子拉到最下,或者双击Name按名称排序,可以看到一个名为player_p.wtd的文件,大小为88KB,内容为Texture素材:


双击这个player_p.wtd文件或者点右上方菜单中的View图标,你将以浏览的方式观察其内容,浏览模式下,你只可以将里面的内容保存出来,而不能替换成新的内容,现在可以养成好的习惯,点击View旁边的Edit:



这个窗口就是以Edit编辑模式进来的窗口,黄色标记的地方为几个重要地方,一个是Import Texture导入素材,一个是Save and Close,另外三个就是主角会随机用到的三个不同颜色的头盔了(我的都是黑色,是因为我已经修改过了,原始的将会是黑色,蓝色和白色).

注意,三个头盔主角将会随机使用,所以如果希望自定三种颜色,你就需要修改三套头盔,如果只希望用到一种比如黑色,你可以修改三个以黑色为基调的图案然后分别导入和保存.更容易点,如果你懒得修改,你可以直接导出第一种黑色的素材,使用Export Texture,然后保存在随便那个地方,再选择其他头盔Import Texture,然后Save & Close即可!(红黄线即为导入和导出大概形式)



上述即是主要原理,大家现在就可以试试,将蓝色和白色的讨厌的女人头盔换成纯黑色的,以后Niko不会再显得很肉了!

希望修改现有头盔的花色的话,我们还需要进一步的加工,就拿第一种黑色头盔来说吧.首先Export,保存出来.你将看到一个PNG格式的图片,可能的话,最好用Photoshop来编辑它.

下面是用PS打开的白色头盔,因为PS的蒙版作用,可以在你不损坏原图的前提下添加各种你想要的效果.其中数字1标记的地方,为头盔与防风罩的联接处;黄线框中的2标记的地方,为头盔的主要色调和花式;红线框中的3标记处,为面罩部分,可以看到这里是透明效果,游戏中这里将只显示透明的反光而不显示任何颜色;区域4则为头盔内部装饰物如护嘴啊内枕啊等等,这些在游戏中基本上看不到,完全不重要.



记住这些区域的位置,或者直接复制一个图层大肆的修改,你就可以定制自己的头盔了,千万注意,各个区域不要相互冲突,比如黄色部分头盔主色调和框架基本上就是游戏中头盔的整个包络,而红色部分也刚好是面罩部分,颜色不要叠加,否则会很难看.至于面罩的透明色调,完全可以用纯黑色或其他颜色替代成不透明的,一样很酷.至于PS的过程无聊而繁琐,我只展示一下大致的概念,如下:


完全是我全部手绘的纹路哦!



狼牙的造型!

不过上面两个造型,我最终没有在游戏中采用,太招摇了,完全不低调...我最后还是采用了红与黑的.

记住,这里的素材只是单面的,游戏中会自动复制另一面,这就意味着自制的花式可能会显示得和想象的很不一样,另外,头盔有几个部位是会自动拉伸的比如额头一处,游戏中花式会弯曲变形,因此,你必须不断的尝试,得出最满意的效果,各中步骤,我就不一一赘述了,减轻你实验的痛苦,无异于降低你最后的成就感!

另外,完成颜色花色的修改后,记住依旧保存为PNG格式的图片,再用Spark打开pedprops,找到player_p.wtd,找到你想要更换的头盔,选择Import Texture,导入这个PNG,最后Save&Close,然后逐步关闭Spark,进游戏.我常常出现修改完后,一时兴奋,都没用Spark替换就进了游戏,这个过程啊,折磨...

以下是部分新服装画面:


基本确定的造型!



过于邋遢而被淘汰的造型!



手臂大腿和头盔上的条纹太多而被淘汰的造型!



过于招摇而被淘汰的造型!



最完美的造型!

有空再写个制作衣服的吧!原理完全相同,只不过步骤更繁琐一些...

Ghost Rider - Rebirth



离上次登文过了好久了,并不是我不记得写,而是忙着研究一个很有意思的东西,我所惊叹的游戏,GTA4,激发了我的导演梦想,其内置的Video Editor,具备强大的拍摄和制作能力,基本上,一部动作片所需要的拍摄角度,风格滤镜,速度曲线,VE都可以做到,演员也是现成的.玩要玩出范儿,打穿关可不算,有本事跟我一样拍个电影试试?

敬请欣赏09年大作,幽灵骑士之重生,导演PiGGY本人,制片啊特技啊打杂的都是俺!!!







更新一个快点的国内优酷站的





顺便,皇马赢球了,不过顾不上管它.隔天把Angel的照片登上来...
