The Titanic Mod brings people at one of the most detailed and accurate free 3D recreations of the Titanic ever made. It puts the player in a whole new storyline for the game Mafia.
Happy new year everyone!
Another interesting news item from the graphics department to start a good year :)
Some people might have heard of the ENB series before. If not, what this does is that it enhances Mafia's LS3D engine graphic wise and adding features such as bloom effects, motion blur, ambient occlusion etc.
These 2 comparison shots are taken with default ENB applied to it. It might need some tweaking later on by someone with more experience.
Altough you might think this looks too blurry, for some reason this really is an atmosphere enhancer!
As you can see, ENB has a slight impact on the FPS rate. But don't you worry, with a simple Shift+F12 press on your keyboard you can enable or disable it. So if you don't like it and hate bloom or motion blur effects, don't touch it. By default ENB is disabled.
Some of you might worry about the FPS rate with no ENB at all on the outside ship which is 24 FPS at some points. Luckely there's nothing to fear. These screenshots ware taken with 4X anti aliasing which is a bomb on FPS (with 2X AA, the average lies within 30-40 FPS)
But also when the mod is completed, a low resolution texture pack will be available as the option to remove the sun's enhanced sun rays which also take some FPS when looked at.
Also the ocean's model will be replaced later on which will have less polygons.
Good thing about the sector usage is as you can see, the smoking room has a FPS of 47 while this is located in the same scene as the exterior. So each interior sector has it's own independent FPS rate.
Also for FPS increasing, a free copy of gamebooster will be delivered with downloading MTM.
