GTA4 Environment mod 3 by Kriller2 (for patch 1.3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please if you get a performance drop with this mod, don't send angry emails or make angry threads! It's quite a task to up image quality WITHOUT decreasing FPS,this release is the final release, I did alot of study and work to make it as realitistic as possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation (if you haven't installed vers 3 beta)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Install the folder "# 1 increased viewdistance (3500) and ped and car distance" using a program called JSGME, just follow this guide:
http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=58201 (no support will be given to using JSGME)
2. Install the "# 2 Green trees with no flicker" for trees that match the environment.
3. Install the "# 3x peds and more trafic" to get more peds and trafic in the streets.
4. Install the "# 4 Shaders from patch 1_3 and 1_2 for better shadows" to get the better shadows at lower shadow resolutions.
5. Look at the included screenshot of the displaysettings and adjust your settings according to that.
6. Add the lines described under "graphics tweaks" to your commandline.txt or make a new textfile in your main GTA directory and rename it to "commandline.txt" then paste the folowing parameters into the new text-document.

Graphics tweaks (3gb. or more recomended for the 1024 shadow resolutions and reflection resolutions!!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-renderquality 4
-shadowdensity 16
-texturequality 2
-shadowresolution 1024
-shadowquality 4
-reflectionquality 4
-reflectionresolution 1024
-waterreflectionquality 5
If you have problems with this mod then try decrease the shadow resolution to 512 and the reflectionresolution to 512 or decrease some of the other optional commandlines.
If you have a VERY powerfull computer then set the reflectionresolution to 2048 and in game reflections to very high...
Allso try read this thread it can make a huge difference especialy after you have installed new files in the GTA directory (like this mod :). It's a program to defragment the folder in which GTA4 is installed, no support will be given to the program though.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mod includes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All environment files rewritten from scratch to get more realistic ambient light, direct light, water etc.
Increased trafic and view distance for peds and cars.
Softened the shadows so it should be less dark in the shadows.
Headlights and all other light edited to be more narrow and more bright/ view distance.
New water colour and summer green trees with reduced flicker
Included all shaders from patch3 and 2 files from patch2 for nicer shadows on lower resolutions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugs:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Sometimes near sunset/sunrise you can see some purple buildings in the background, this is because of a limit of the engine in stock GTA4 the developers used a colour to hide the limit of the renderengine, I have removed this colour to get more realistic environments.
Running high configuration of GTA4 AND high view distance can result in an "out of memory" error, if you experience this then decrease the view distance to f.ex. 3
