  2. Can u give a heads up on the filesize..Actually I hope its big, the bigger the better.

    ReplyDelete
  3. @John, bigger is not better. I think now without compression and without final clean, it's around 1.7 Gb. I expect to reduce size in final release.

  4. maldo... I'm wondering can you manipulate tessellation??? like add tessellation to some items that aren't already tessellated? because i'd really like to see caffe tables round ad it's annoying to see them all squarey... And maybe water tanks on roofs also... they should be tessellated to look round not crooked and squarey....
    Altho i got to say good job maldo on this mod. I'd be ashamed and fire myself from crytek team. One guy to do more then a whole team from grahic division???? now thats messed up yo :)

  9. @Bigounet : Why do you want absolutely a big file ? To test your super hard disk or internet connection ?

    Big files don't make quality. Effects like Tessellation and POM are the main tools to sublimate textures. Texture compression can reduce size without visual loss of quality. And global texture quality doesn't depend of size.

    If the optimized mod (2gb) is as beautiful as the non optimized (5gb), it's better. More people will be able do download it (I have 512k connection) and texture will take less VRAM so it will run smoother.

  10. Merci Maldo t'es le meilleur !!!!!!

  11. @KuroTenshi

    A texture in 1024 > 256.

    After, you can dowload 100Go with a 56k , it's long but possible ;)

  12. Diablow, stop the insults, no one is telling what to do , and reduce quality when we want more quality is a contradiction from you.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Maldo you are the best , i never seen a mod like this. Also the config utility is a dream, we can quit tessellation from objects but leave the pom and the tessellation in water.

  14. You should try learning to read posts more carefully.I said people should stop whining about texture resolution vram and stuff which could eventually make maldo reduce the quality of his project in order to satisfy those guys.Wanting a outstanding look and complaining about vram related to their 1gb or less cards is simply something I cant stand.The crytek pack is designed for people with 768 - 1gb vram (setup during install) and anyone who wants more has to buy a 1.5-2gb or more card.

    ReplyDelete
  15. A quality modder makes no compromise in quality.If you people cant run it on 1gb then stick to the crytek pack or buy a better card which doesnt cost a fortune in 2011.I know this sounds arrogant and selfish but the look matters not you getting it to work with cheap cards.

  16. I am checking this page about ever 5 hours. IT'S KILLING ME!

  17. Calm down, it's just a mod. The most probably date for release is september 25.

  18. it's not just a mod!!! you finish the game on PC ;)

  19. Hey is this going to be your last development project of crysis 2 or are you going to develop further like maybe till Maldo 5.0...anyways if you are going to develop further after 3.0 are you open to suggestions cause I can suggest you in a lot of areas it could use tweaks....that is ofcourse unless 3.0 is already perfect.BTW 3.0 looks awesome so far

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh and another thing...is maldo 3.0 going to affect multiplayer too cause dx 11 didnt fully affect multiplayer before...some of the things like tesselation were disabled I think..

    ReplyDelete
  21. @John, I have not internet at home so I can't test multiplayer. MaLDoHD 3.0 is all about singleplayer. I don't know how to implement changes in multiplayer because I think this mode is more locked.

    I've been doing some things with AI and models meshes and there is a very interesting world to discover (and fix). But this mod took many months (that I enjoyed a lod) without being able to play computer games. I want to play. Many games left to open as Witcher 2, Deus Ex, Dirt 3, Limbo, Bastion (I'm waiting internet connection to activate them XD). So probably this version will be the last. But there are many people out there who can do this and much more.

  22. Hey baby, you really going to keep this young lady waiting until Sept. 25th. I am ready to make passionate love with you as soon as you finish this mod.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lol.Looks like you got either a admirer(ess) or a troll maldo ^^

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Diablow : I don't have any problem of performance (I have 2gb of VRAM and I would dl 5gb even with 512k). What I wanted to tell is size isn't the main criteria for quality.

    I am used to play with 4096*4096 textures (mods). I simply said : if visual quality is the same with improved performances or reduced size, then it's even better. It's called "optimization".

    I didn't say "reduce quality".

  25. I am mainly talking about file size, not texture size.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Size matters... bigger is better. Don't listen to these kids Maldo.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I am a developer like Maldo, not a kid. And Maldo do what he thinks is the best.

    I was only responding to persons which were disappointed that the mod didn't weight 5-6gb whereas it's wonderful at 2gb (the actual size).

    It's simplistic to tell that size makes quality. It contributes (to some degree) but a ton of others things (often more important) matter.
