GTA San Andreas 0.248

I can confirm the Black Sky bug too. I have GPU: HD 7950 3GB (AMD). CPU: FX-6350 @3.90 Ghz (AMD).
Whenever I enable the shadows effect and I set my options>display options>Visual FX to anything higher than Low (Low doesn't have any shadows) I get the Black Sky bug.

Also I found out another bug but I don't know if its already a Known Bug... If you enable the water effect, the water is invisible/a light blue color like the sky one. Remember I have an AMD graphics card with the latest drivers 13.12.

By the way Boris I really appreciate you're taking your time to update GTA SA ENB, thanks a lot bro! you made it possible to play SAMP with SSAO at 100fps

@mindstalker: it's better that way because even a little brightening on a white car makes car reach full white so a white car + full reflection would result in a such extreme bright car that it reaches sun brightness and so getting lenz flares and way too strong bloom. I mean, look at a bright car in reallife, you see almost no difference between dark and white reflected objects, you can't mirror yourself but on a black car you can. On a black car, bright sky and dark ambient have a strong contrast.

I'll update version in half an hour without notice on the site, test if black sky bug will not occur.

Pure white do not produce reflection, all light from white is "reflected" in all directions, outcoming summ of lighting can't be greater than incoming.

reflections should be added after the shadow is substracted.

Really? (color-shadow)+reflection=(color+reflection)-shadow.
Shadows are not subtracted, not in this game, not anywhere else. In gtasa they are applied as overlay after most objects drawed, i'm not going to make full deffer to support proper shadow "blending", these shadows are awful anyway.

ATI user (sadly) here, just tested the updated ENB and i don't have the black sky anymore. Good job Boris!

[plk4]

AMD user here, I tested the new version and the sky is still black but only when shadows are enabled, with it off everything is fine

[FMHn]

Mr.Boris,
tested a latest version, still black sky sir, same issues, if i've turned on the shadow, sky had a black and....dunno what happen with this CJ :|

Hey Boris, to help you out I took my time to make some videos about the bugs I found out about... I'm an AMD user as I said before... Both GPU and CPU. My game has the default timecyc...

Black Sky bug with shadows on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLJcxoLdV_4
as you can see it seems like there a big shadow all over us, the shadow seems to disspear if the camera gets closer to the player.

Invisible water (It has a light blue color like the sky):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CJsWuVcfro

Invisible water,hud,effects,weapons(Weird I never got thsi bug before... normally I used to get water with the light blue sky color and I was able to see effects, weapons and hud... so no idea...):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0IihLnfxg4

After you alt-tab and then click the program to go back to the fullscreen game sometimes the HUD and samp chat dissapear... Weapons, effects still work(also if you keep trying to alt-tab out and back in sometimes or pause and unpause sometimes the hud and chat come back... but this bug is annoying...)

This car or maybe just the car color doesnt have reflection... not even on the windows:

P.s. My friend had this reflection bug where he saw himself in the reflection while he was driving the car, it never happened to me though so I cant confirm the bug... http://i.imgur.com/Pr0VMt5.jpg

I will not do any fixes to amd users, because i can't. Do not report bugs, they will not be fixed, because don't have them.

[JayArmstrong]

Yo bro, The last bug from my friend is from an nvidia user (he has an nvidia card thats some years old but its nvidia). I'm and amd user and I would love to keep beta testing your mod to keep finding bugs etc so if you need any AMD Beta tester feel free to PM me, I think we could add eachotehr on an instant messaging service or join a teamspeak 3 server and start testing it... if not I would reccomend you to get a Base Line AMD GPU so you can provide better support and a better experience ti your mod users... Some reccomendations would be:

Ukraine:
http://matrix.ua/videokarta_sapphire_ra ... g/p216925/

Russia:
http://www.regard.ru/catalog/tovar139663.htm

P.s. Those are just examples, if youre interested in getting an AMD GPU, search better on shops you would like to buy... Search here to find stores in your country: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/358 ... rts-stores

As always thanks a lot for updating the GTA SA ENB, even if we arent as much players as the skyrim ones or other games players, we still appreciate it a lot!

True. If by pure white you mean surface with isotropic BRDF and uniform reflectance spectrum for visible wavelengths.
For real-world glossy white surfaces that's not true. Namely, white car paint has reflections but looks white.

Yes. I've oversimplifyed it. I should have used the term "blending".
And, as i know, that blending operation is not assotiative with the addition operation.
So,
blend((color+reflection), shadow)
is not equal to
blend(color, shadow) + reflection
That's what I wanted to say.

It's sad that proper shadowing is unreachable for now
