GTA SA Skipping intro videos

18
Blackbird (talkcontribs)

I'd say there is a little oversight. SilentPatch only skips EAX and nVidia logos like 3.0 exe did. The .mpg videos still play. Not sure about the -skip command, but I assume it's same thing.

Mirh (talkcontribs)

In my opinion that's already enough.
I mean, those were the unskippable logo, those that were really annoying. .mpg videos can just be skipped with a mouse click.

But it seems you don't have the same opinion.. and indeed Improved Fast Loader also allows to skip the otherwise always present copyright screen..
Can you think to it? (I mean, I'm so tired of the problems of those damn GTA games..)

Besides, are you the same Blackbird88 of the gtaforums?

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

I thought so, but the it says Skip intro videos so that may be confusing a bit. Indeed you can just spam any key to skip them. I already have my fingers trained.
Yep that's me. 60 FPS masterrace

I tried something. I wanted to simply give SP the informative icon but that wouldn't group it with the skip command. And I tested teh skip command on 1.01 exe and it skips the logos just as I expected

Wait wait wait.
Excuse me, but your edit was way too complex for a page as big as GTA:SA one..
I mean, I know it may be stupid, but you almost need a degree to download every fix and a new section is overwhelming.
I hope what I did could be more.. "catchy" for the lazy eyes of the noob that may stumble on the page

So I had to explain two times the same thing to the same person .-. I hate hate hate this game. And really, try for real that thing with the car. I swear it's true

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

I wanted something like this, but then it needs to be mentioned ony fast loader skips everything.
Dude I am playing this game on PS3 too and the differences are negligible.

Mirh (talkcontribs)

Wait wait wait.. wtf? PS3?

We are talking of computers here

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

Yeah and PS2 version runs at 30 FPS too hence the limitation in the first place.

Mirh (talkcontribs)

The limitation is there in the first place because they always had PS2 framerate as target, true.

Anyway, how are you supposed to check different framerates with a Playstation 3?

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

You don't, because it's always locked at 30 FPS so it should be exactly same as turning on FL on PC :)

Mirh (talkcontribs)

So.. where did you play the game at ≥60FPS to claim that there are no problems with it?

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

On both PC and PS3?

Mirh (talkcontribs)

So.. I have the feeling you are comparing 60FPS (PC) with 30FPS (PS3)..I can't understand why you mentioned ps3 otherwise
Correct?

It's rather unorthodox imo..
It seems I'll have to make a video one day to show the difference

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

No I compare PC,PS3 30 FPS and PC 60 FPS. The differences are so minor it's not worth the trouble of running a slideshow that is 25-30 FPS.
I finished literally everything in the game so clearly it doesn't hinder progress. The way cars handle also isn't much different unless you are trying too hard to achieve "le R* vision", because devs are never wrong :)
Just FYI GTAIV has a problem when you have 60 FPS in last mission you can't pull up on a heli. Clearly everyone should force 30 FPS just for that one mission.
I say this is pointless we're never going to convince each other anyway :D

Just write that the Splash screens are skipped jesus.

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

Ha the thread got derailed long time ago into FPS debate lol

Mirh (talkcontribs)

Obviously in GTA4, that seems the only thing with weird behaviours (even though I can't really claim this since I hardly reach 40FPS)

But as I said, l o o k at how cars b r e a k almost instantly on high framerates in SA
Until you don't at least acknowledge this I'm not really sure we are even talking of the same thing. It's too blatant. :\

I'm quite sure we'll find a meeting point, soon or later

Blackbird (talkcontribs)

Yes they do, but they don't brake as quick to be even noticeable in regular gameplay unless you purposefuly do it over and over. You're just blowing the bugs out of proportions is all I'm saying. There isn't single thing that literally breaks the game.
Last post here before it gets out of hand :D

Mirh (talkcontribs)

Oh, that was what I wanted you to say.

Anyway, of course if the sum of the little problems is smaller than the annoyance of the fixed framerate, better for you to disable the later..

Than subjective tastes come into play and imo, queer car handling, slower swimming, mad drivers (I have the impression they drive fast as hell with FL off, but I'm not entirely sure), gravity/density is screwed (I don't know whatever else to explain Stowaway opening cutscene) and last but not least I remember cutscenes not even starting in VC with anything but capped fps

Ultimately, I almost fear I would ascribe an oddity for something that instead was never meant to be the game (e.g. too hard missions: am I indeed clumsy or is the game effectively bitching?)
Then you have 60FPS masterrace and all which is alone already a good enough point ;)

End I guess
