Released: Standard weather mod without winds

[Carda]

A little modification I made of the weather.ini file. In all weather types I set the windspeed to 0.0 to help low end PC's increase their framerate.

 

Your PC doesn't have to calculate all the movements of the electronic wires hanging over the street and all other objects that respond to winds. This will reduce your CPU load and increase framerate (check with Fraps).

 

If you have a 9000+ cpu already you really don't need this mod and please keep using that fantastic looking weather mod Maciuk created.

 

*Warning* To add extra performance I also removed the Water reflection in this file. So if you don't like that, please do not install this 'mod'.

 

Greetings,

Carda

I have a core i7 920 and a 9500 gt 1gb and the game gets laggy when in hdr, hope this helps

Its got my framerate at a specific point on the map from 37 to39. Just 2 frames doesn't sound like much but still its about 4-5% improvement.

 

Removing the boats/airplanes/flying debris helps as well. And all these kind of tweakes combined surely helped for me.

I thought that, I have a AMD Phenom II x 4 and a 9800GT and it runs everything on best form :D

[Theaudiowner]

mine dual amd 5200+ with 9600 GSO runs with no problems :P but anyway i think it is nice.

Seriously? I'm running a Q9550, an old 8800GTS 320Mb and a P5B, with HDR, 1440x900, 16XAA, I'm topping 80fps constantly, occasionaly it hits triple figures!...:confused:

[jaddz]

Carda, can you make a HDR-version of this no-wind-mod please?

Because as we can see it's only for them who's not using HDR! :)

[Andreas¹]

Why would wind effect HDR in any way? :confused:

TDU uses these 2 files to change between HDR and normal graphic options, these files includes the "how's the sun reflects from your car" options too, like the wind speed and so on.

 

1 block for example seems like this:

But if you download the file from this thread and change it with the original one, you can see it has effect only on nonHDR mode. Just try it, turn on HDR and wind will blow, wires and trees will move and so on.

Yes, I know, that's not what I meant. But anyway, wouldn't it be easy to just go into the HDR weather file and do what Carda did?

You're right, I guess it's possible, but there are a lot of these blocks, for each different weather condition and I tried, but somehow I can't save the file, if I change values.

[Andreas¹]

Ah, my computer won't allow me to do that either.

First, copy and paste the original Weather_HDRI file in the same folder. It should appear as a new file called "Copy of Weather_HDRI" and that file you can edit and save. When you're done editing, simply rename your original file to "Weather_HDRIBackup" or whatever you want, and rename the file you edited to "Weather_HDRI" and TDU will read that file. ;)
