@Alex106 Hey man, I came back to tell you after I've been researching and testing for multiple months to give you the missing results for things that should've been in this mod.
-When going outside or watching a cutscene (and/or driving under a bridge, notably the one during "Franklin and Lamar".) there's a flash of light that kinda resembles the "hot and sunny-ish" that only exclusively there on the 7th gen. Their for some reason was removed on next gen and replaced with bokeh.
-Speaking of bokeh. (same goes with environmental blur/DoF on the visualsettings) They're actually didn't existed back then. Since when looking the timecycle/weather xml's on the xbox 360 version, they didn't have it nor enabled it deep inside. Instead they used the one I've mentioned on first.
But when I try to disabling the bokeh, environmental (and adaptive DoF in visualsettings) Some parts of bokeh (or I assume the "bright-and-sunny" lights, but it looks wrong or way too much blurry) are still there. And when the cutscene ends, the bokeh transitions broke and things far ahead -- likely the mountain gets refreshed (like its gone for split sec and reappears chopping-ly)
-Shadows are rendered differently, since when playing the prologue and get to the vault. The shadows seems more pixelated than the ones on next gen. No matter what you change (shadow quality, shadow softness etc.) it always look normal and not blocky. (I know you ain't gonna include this for fidelty reasons but hey, its up to you if you're gonna restore this or nah.)
-The character's lighting are also different (most noticeable to Michael and Friedlander during the beginning cutscene. it gives off the "unfinished blender project" type of vibe) This could be either their models are updated or might possible be on the timecycle files that has a value for character/ped lighting.
-(I know this isn't gonna be related to this mod but here I go) The minimap are darker on the last gen. I know they are many old gen HUDs out there but most of them has the minimap lighted like the next gen, but in contrary to popular beliefs. they got it wrong and they should've made the minimap darker (and sometimes if I was sure about it, more transparent)
I'm sorry for the long ass comments or suggestions, I was investigating the old gen versions like a madman and finding out every single details on sight. Like I said before, I'm a BIG fan of old things and I dislike things when game developers changes something on newer consoles. It makes it look a bit odd or even worse (like adding the hollywood-like camera to it) and I'm glad someone like you are able to restore such things to the core. it makes me joyful and some others like myself out there. I hope you're doing well on any types of situations out there, remember that I'm always adore your hard efforts and work. I want to be inspired to be like you one day. <3
@Alex106 Nevermind; found the solution lol. All I did is to extract with Peazip instead of built-in extractor in linux. I guess the one I extracted back then wasn't able to extract properly so I opt-in with Peazip and it did extract well. So yeaaah I probably should've use peazip in the first place, so i wouldn't made this comment thought there's no dlcpack found in the folder. But at least, have a graceful day matey lmfao!
@Alex106 Where is the main thing of this mod? The only thing it came is an extracted OIV MP map version of this.
@bumpermotion65 Hey, thanks for the mod! Really appreciate it! If you like to know about my modding knowledge, well here it is. I usual do by just comparing PS3 version to PS4/PC version and just changing things like the graphics settings, installing old gen mods, etc. I do this precisely so that it matches close to the 7th gen and to make sure it is 1:1 recreation of it. Soon, i might make my own mod list of 7th gen things for pc, so that people can experience the good old days without relaying on emulations. It also doesn't include beta things like what GTA Trilogy Games did on his mod list, just pure day 1 version. If you'd like to root for it, go for it! I'll be very thankful!
Can you make the same one but without the haze? (A.K.A. Chromatic Aberration) since in 7th gen, they didn't have the haze nor far DoF unlike the 8th/9th gen. I really like this mod because I'm a sucker for PS3/Xbox 360 era of GTA. But I felt weirded ever since i saw the haze in it. Making it an optional would be nice since they're group of people actually likes the haze but others not. Again I love this mod but adding an optional for removing the haze would be great. Peace brother!
yo update the gameconfig to version 3521, it came out days ago.
