Is there a mod or a h.a.c.k to do this?

[Fatboy_Rob]

Well, i wanted to know if there was any mod or hack or smth to be able to take the clouds out of SA, because they make me & other people with older hardware, lag like crazy.
Posted on: November 03, 2007, 04:59:38 PMLet me explain more.

What i want to do, is find a program to extract the Clouds out of the sky. (maybe a particle thing).

Anyone ever heard of somthing like this?

[Dave]

Yes and no. Yes, to have i heard of it etc, and no to them possibly beong removed, everything leads back to Rockstar and Rockstar north, i know a few excellent coders, but i'm not sure that this is their kinda thing

mmm, my PC is a lil shit, and I don't have problems with clouds. o.O

Btw, there must be a mod or something, but I dunno if it would be recognized as cheat by the SA client, probably not, but Idk really. :S

lol watta has 666 posts :devroll:

dont worry they are all texture files, they dont do any change to gameplay(dont mess with handling, char specs or stuff like that)

I made a downgrade on water, but now cars, guns roads, forests, chars(everything else) looks much sweeter...
same stuff with skins, they dont efect gameplay...

Yeah, they are like skins, they dont change the gameplay. But on MTA I installed one skin and it accused me of trainer usage

I can tell you.. Want less, Lag? Get your ass in this Topic

Its a  mod, simply backup the files in the download file on Forum and then replace the files, it removes: smoke, wheel marks, the cars seem a little bit crappy and some other stuff..
It works great.
