This is not an enb nor any kind of graphics mod. it is purely just a time cycle file thats it. (yes i know technically it is a mod, because i modified an original file) but its only a time cycle file thats it.

 

I have been working on this all day and finally got it right, i made this because i do not like using any graphics mods, i like the original look, just hated how light it was outside at night.. i find it way more realistic to have to use a flashlight/high beams/spotlight, while on night patrol.

 

I get no drop in FPS/ nor any texture loss, like most time cycles i download. they always seem to do a lil more than just make the night cycle darker, and more realistic, which for me, screws up everything.

 

So far i've only done the time cycle for the "sunny" weather, but i am definitely going to finish all the weathers. this was the Original time cycle file that came with GTAIV, and after installing patch 1.0.7.0. well im just showing you guys my work and maybe hoping for some feed back, or if anyone would be interested in this sort of time cycle for the original graphics. here are a few screen shots.

 

head over to my gallery there are more pics in the album "new longer/darker nights"

Looking really good. Will probably give it a spin soon.

As ineseri said, it looks really good. Timecyc files can often times be a real pain to edit, too, so props for sticking with it!

yeah it took me alll day lol but thanks guys glad u like it.

you should just post the download link here

i will post the finished time cycle once complete, still have alot of work to do. but i def will post on here once i completed all weather variations.

Will it work with EFLC? I mean why wouldn't it? Is it any major differences?

i dont own EFLC, so i couldn't tell you. but its worth a shot. i mean just backup your original timecyc file or move it to your desktop then replace with this one. i have made awesome progress with this so far, have u seen the pics i just uploaded to my gallery? simply amazing, im very pleased. if your willing to test it out for me on EFLC ill send you the file. but u need a trainer to lock the weather to sunny. so far that's all i have got done. been busy making it all look just right before i move onto sunny windy.

When it will be available for download?

Very nice.

Don't forget about some moonlight, at least for sunny and mostly sunny weather.

alright so sunny and sunny windy is done! moving on to the more complicated ones. just a quick update. as far as moonlight goes, its not completely dark during sunny and sunny windy. and im doing all my editing to the time cycle with my "in game" contrast turned all they way down. so this is where IM going to keep it (for my liking). but if you find its just to dark for your liking you can turn up your in game contrast to how dark YOU want it (more "moonlight"=more contrast)

This info will be released in the "readme" when released for download. (the in game display settings for full effect) along with a screen shot of how i have display settings set, and what i kept it at while i edited the file.

very nice will be using it for sure so i will follow the file

 

thank's

thanks man, yeah follow it caus eill be posting updates as i go here. thanks again

Definitely looking forward to this. Night time is like a cloudy day time to me. To much light .

Ok here is an update on whoevers following this post. i have been hard at work for the past few weeks trying to get this right in all weathers. i am done with all weathers except for lightning, i have a feeling it should not take very long, at least not as long as "fog" did lol. fog was hard to do, without loosing the fog effect.

 

But yeah it should be done tonight (if my wife lets me work on it! ;P) which shes babysitting so yeah i should get it done and have it posted in the download section tonight!

damn, cool "indeed'

its up! just waiting for approval. :)
