Adding MTA specific graphics and controller features to SP

[JustExtreme]

I understand that this may be an odd question but would it be possible to add the updated graphics settings and wonderful controller support that is in MTA into the single player of San Andreas?

I am not requesting that anyone do this for me; in fact I would be interested in exploring the possibilities myself with a team of likeminded volunteers.

Thanks for your replies

well, it is possible, but your going to need to make a mod for it.

OH REALLY?

Sorry, but... come on, I think he might have known that.

Took 5 days to me to watch this topic, but well. There's a graphics mod called 'iCEnhanced' that makes a d3d9.dll file read a .fx file in GTA SA, with some includes. Though, I shouldn't recommend that. Well, yeah, the shaders shown in that shader examples page look good, though it doesn't reach (it might do that soon) ENBSeries graphics. If you want to them to look as MTA shaders do, you'd have to modify the enbsettings.ini file, it's not that hard to understand what does a value do.

controller support

What is that about?

controller support is about supporting controllers

I would love this feature. The original game has poor support for controllers (especially 360 controller) and the MTA team have done an amazing job on the controller support for MP. Is it possible you could release a mod for SP GTA SA to be able to use these features? I know it's asking a lot.

Thanks

For controller support, you guys probably want SAAC by Racer_S. As far as I know, it offers everything that MTA can do plus more:

SAAC doesn't seem to run on my PC. Uses one full core and nothing ever loads.

Windows 7, Xbox 360 controller.

I actually would love to see MTA support certain SAAC functions so I could use my wheel (which is also the predefined setting by SAAC - Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel) with proper pedals.

Perhaps scripting functions to detect if the player is using a controller, and what type (type 'a' should have the normal ps3/xbox controller design) so that you can custom-tailor your script (with function to turn off default controller actions) to the controller.

I am using Xcontrols at the moment from here http://gtaforums.com/topic/427517-rel-x ... d-support/

It's better than nothing but it's not that great and you can't rebind triggers, etc. so you have to use a regular button for shooting. Still has nothing on MTA's controller support.
