And don’t be ashamed to post screenshots for everyone to see.

Now I may touch your most sore spot, which makes you want to cry looking at the brand new games. And yes, this is a complete set of your PC (computer. For those in the tank). In principle, it is not very important if you consider that you are not going to take screenshots at a professional level. Where to set anti-aliasing to at least 16x and video cards less than 10 thousand are simply not appropriate. To make normal screenshots, a regular video card with 512 MB memory may be suitable for you. Well, the processor should preferably be at least i2. Of course, on such a computer with ENB turned on for powerful PCs, your FPS will not be higher than 5, but with a squeal in the process and pain in your soul, you will be able to screenshot.

Let's move on to mods. In order to get a high-quality, well, at least a pleasant picture, you must have a decent background that includes vegetation mods, HD roads, skybox, timecyce, effects and other mods. And yes, this one will swallow all the FPS like Sasha Gray is big and fat.... Well, you understand.

So that you don't become the "badest" in the area, I created a topic in which you can download good mods without shaking at the computer and without wasting time leaving posts on forums with questions " DOES IT WORK IN SAMP???"The first line is the roads:

HD Roads V3. A well-made road surface with detailed curbs and surrounding areas. Works great in samp, doesn't eat fps very much. Well, it doesn't look bad on screenshots:

HQ Roads by Marty McFly. Roads with high-resolution textures that will lag on weak computers look great with ENB. The modification works in SAMP:

HD Rails v3.0/v2.0. Beautiful rails of good quality. They work in samp and do not affect FPS much. You are guided in choosing the version yourself. Fundamentally, they are no different. Personally, I have version v2, it is more colorful:

Let's move on to the vegetation in the game. For the most part, these mods are very finicky and mostly unfinished. There are few places where you will find a fully developed mod with completely replaced green living creatures. And not everyone gets along with SAMP. In addition, placing one pack on top of another is strictly prohibited. In this part, I will post only those modifications that work in SAMP

Perfect vegetation v.2. Normally developed vegetation, not a lot of FPS. The grass is quite thick and looks good with ENBSeries. One of the minuses can be added that in this modification the textures of some trees may disappear; this is not fatal, but sometimes it gets boring. Perfect for weak PCs.:

Project Oblivion 2010 HQ SA:MP Edition. This modification boasts high quality models. Fps eats well, but in moderation. There are also some imperfections in the form of non-textured trees, but I personally found only one. The grass is not very tall and, in my opinion, is inferior to the Perfect Vegetation v.2. mod:

Effects High-quality effects in screenshots are like a cherry on a cake. It seems like it’s not a very noticeable thing, but without it you can’t get a good picture.

GTA 5 Effects. High-quality, bright effects. It’s good to complement the screenshot with your own range of shades and the FPS doesn’t drop too much. Not tested in sampa.

Ledios New Effects v2. Effects are of average quality. Beautiful clouds of dust from driving over rough terrain. Of course, they won’t be able to pamper you with gorgeous explosions. FPS consumption is almost non-existent, workable in samp.

Overdose Effects v 1.4/1.5. Spectacular explosions, bright sparks and great smoke. Michael Bay would appreciate it. In my opinion these are two of the best effect packs I have ever seen. Fully operational in SAMP.

Glare Sometimes glare from the sun often rules the ball. Therefore, they must be treated with due respect.

Lensflare v1.2 Final. This mod will add a beautiful and bright glare from the sun. Looks good with ENB. Also adds a glare from the lampposts. In fashion there is immediately Cleo script in the sun. So for this crap to work, you don’t need to download anything.

IMFX Lensflare v2. This is probably the most common highlight. Many people use it. In addition to the glare itself, install colormod (well, that’s what I think) since using it makes the colors more saturated. Fully compatible with SAMP.

New highlights. Everything is simple and tasteful. A nice big highlight or another way to make a white Malevich square from a screenshot. But seriously, the highlight is really gorgeous. It will decorate the picture well on any chart. It is made to resemble the glare of the sun from NFS The Run c addition of some effects. With glare comes a camera script from GTA IV. It works in SAMP, there seem to be no bugs.

ENBSeries. Now let's move on to the setup itself. Here I can’t tell you anything specifically since this is an individual tool for stamping any kind of government screenshots. I can only recommend sites where you can find enb for everyone and I’ll post the ones I use.

GTA-RUS - that is, the site you are on, our site contains many different ENB settings for both weak, medium and powerful PCs. Be extremely careful when choosing ENBSeries for your PC, many ENB settings require powerful hardware!

Zenzoit Arts Foreign creator ENBSeries I make my screenshots on his ENB. In my opinion, he has the most harmonious and high-quality assemblies. All download links are under the video on his channel, below is the ENB video from his channel:

Marty McFly Modding Another creator ENBSeries for GTA San Andreas, does good work. His builds are more suitable for playing on powerful PCs than for screenshots. All download links below the video on his YouTube channel, Below is a video of ENB from his channel:

Additional mods If beautiful grass, a detailed path and chicks with big boobs are not enough for you to get a good screenshot? Then you can hang your GTA additional tinsel which you can find here.

Improved Lamppost Lights. The mod provides a spotlight function for every lamppost.... Well, not for every one. Well, it still gives something. This effect is distributed in the order of an incomprehensible ramdom. But still, the mod looks beautiful both with and without enb. Works in samp.

Project 2dfx. Not without a famous mod. Installed by everyone who goes to sites with mods. This mod has many versions and choose them yourself. I myself will throw out the latest version (manual installation)

Improved Vehicle Features v2.0.2 (IVF). Mod for turn signals and dipped beam lights. It is necessary that the optics of cars with such mods are not black. Fully works in samp.

We sincerely hope that our site has helped you improve your game and that you will return to us more than once!

2005 is long gone, and technology has taken a big leap upward, rendering the past achievements of developers in terms of graphics insignificant. The same thing happened with Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Back then, the game didn't look quite fresh. After all, the RanderWare engine was used in the first GTA, which acquired a three-dimensional look in GTA III. If we compare these two games, we can easily find many similar things.

Despite the limited capabilities of the engine, you can always improve the graphics in GTA San Andreas. This is done by adjusting contrast and brightness, improving shadow textures, or changing ENBseries. The latter option makes significant graphical improvements. Compare the game without changes and the improved one:

after

You see, now the game world looks much brighter and more colorful. Note: cars reflect reflections - these are the consequences of modification.
Pros:

• An old game goes up a few notches from a technical standpoint
• All irregularities in the models become less noticeable thanks to “blur”

Minuses:

• The night is too dark, the day is too bright
• The game is becoming more demanding on hardware
• Due to incorrect setting of the “blur” parameter, the picture becomes illegible when moving

Installing ENBseries:

• 1. Download the configured ENBseries for GTA San Andreas from any site
• 2. Place the downloaded files in the root folder of the game (if you downloaded the archive, unzip it)
• 3. We confirm all replacements (if necessary)
• 4. Everything is ready to play

Animation

In addition to graphics, its animation also affects the impression of the game. Animation is everything that the player observes when the characters perform any action. More than once we have observed passers-by smoking, waving their hands, covering their heads with their hands when they are scared. How to do it yourself? Without the necessary programs there is no way. SAMP players know that to make a gesture, you need to open the chat and write the required command there. You can also improve the animation for GTA San Andreas. This is a script modification that uses the CLEO libraries. If desired, the main character of GTA can move like Altair from Assassins Creed.

San Andreas remains the favorite part of most gamers from the GTA series. Despite the fact that more than 10 years have passed since the release of the game, modifications and additions are still being released for it. From replacing cars with real ones to completely reworking cities, the game has seen a lot in its time. Improved graphics are still in demand among players. The online version of the action does not go unnoticed. Hundreds of thousands of people log into the servers every day and spend a lot of time in the sunny state of San Andreas. In this article you will learn how to transform your favorite game beyond recognition and what tools are needed for this.

ENB files

This method is the most common among the gaming community. Improving graphics in GTA San Andreas using ENB has many options and modifications. Since every user wants to customize the file configuration to their liking, hundreds and thousands of options for ENB improvements can be found on the Internet.

Some of them are optimized for weak personal computers. Suitable for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the game without upgrading the configuration of their PC. It’s worth noting that the graphics engine for this part of the series is already hopelessly outdated, but what craftsmen can turn the game’s graphics into is truly amazing. This point especially applies to cars. Since replacing fictional car models with real ones became the first most popular modification, all modders converted vehicles from other, more modern games. Thus, we have many cars from various parts of NFS and other racing projects. Thanks to this method, the game's fleet looks impeccable. By improving their appearance using ENB, you can practically achieve the level of projects from recent years or, at a minimum, GTA 4 graphics.

Graphics for powerful systems

The second half of the packs with ENB configuration files is aimed at achieving better results. Be prepared for the fact that even a fairly powerful computer will have difficulty producing a stable FPS during the game. The creators of ENB use the best graphics settings, so modifications often look unnatural. In any case, you can customize the graphics enhancement of GTA San Andreas at your discretion. To do this, it is enough to have basic knowledge of English, a translator and a standard Notepad application on your computer.

Before installing ENB, it is recommended to replace the entire fleet with highly detailed real car models. This will make the game more realistic. In addition, standard cars in the game do not stand out with increased elaboration, reflections, etc. Therefore, ENB can make them not beautiful, but, on the contrary, very strange.

But ENB modifications are only cosmetic changes. For a more global graphics overhaul, you will need to replace textures, work with weather conditions, and so on. Let's take a closer look at these modifications.

"GTA San Andreas": improving graphics by replacing textures

Currently, active work is underway on a new modder project - ROSA Project. The essence of the development is that the game will replace all original textures with high-definition (HD) textures.

At the moment, GTA San Andreas graphics enhancements for the desert and its surroundings are fully available. HD textures with a resolution of 2048 by 2048 pixels are also available for all roads and highways. In the final version, players receive a completely redesigned product. Each texture will be replaced with a new one. It is worth noting that this mod will greatly affect the optimization and stable operation of the game. Therefore, users with very weak personal computer configurations may not expect a smooth picture. Improving graphics in GTA San Andreas is not limited to textures and ENB. Have you installed a modification with high-quality textures, changed car models, installed an END mod on top for beautiful effects and reflections, but still the game seems too scary? To change the situation, you will have to install many more add-ons and try a bunch of textures until you find a balanced combination that suits you.

Improving graphics of people in GTA San Andreas

As with the car textures, you can change all the textures of passers-by and key characters. Moreover, you can completely replace the main character's model. Here there is complete scope for the player’s imagination. You can turn an ordinary ghetto guy into a rich party animal or an old grandpa. To do this, just replace the character textures.

Don't forget about more realistic models of all passersby. There is also a modification that increases the number of people on the streets, which makes the game more realistic. In the original you could meet 3-4 people on the entire street, but now you will come across real crowds of passers-by. Complete simulation of the real world and improvement of graphics into textures of the surrounding world, cars and people is the best way to transform the great part of GTA.

Additional improvements

Now everything is almost ready. All you have to do is change the display of weather conditions and add new effects. With weather effects everything is simple. Just download the next modification pack and install it in the game folder. You'll get any weather conditions you want, from snowfall to realistic rain and sandstorms around the city of Las Venturas. Now install modifications to change the appearance of weapons, bullet marks, car wheels and other effects. This will add realism to the almost finished GTA.

Verdict

Now you know how you can improve the graphics in GTA San Andreas using various modifications. An improved and beautiful childhood game is a great reason to play through the classics of the gaming industry again!

Assembled game

If you do not want to install all the modifications listed below yourself, then this item is for you. We set everything up for you. All you have to do is download the game from Steam first, delete the folder in Steam\SteamApps\common (namely delete the folder, and not through the “delete contents” function), and unpack the archive to:\Steam\SteamApps\common

Also, the assembly can work without steam. Move the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas folder from the archive to your disk and run the gta_sa.exe file in the root folder of the game.

Since everyone has different computers and Internet speeds, you can choose one of the build versions:

1. Full assembly (all improvements indicated in the manual).
. sk/d/ZLMzcbmK3A8vi3

2. Version for SAMP (script fixes + HD improvements + radio).
. sk/d/PBAsdMQ43A8bBX

3. Light version (only script fixes, no radio).
. sk/d/LhXZsVJY3A8En9

4. PS2-edition (the build is as close as possible to the PS2 version of the game, for a complete experience, set the resolution to "720x576"
. sk/d/u4YzXqkV3A9R5C

Introduction

1. The original Steam version cannot be repaired, so we will have to replace it with a pirated one. We do the following:
1.1. Download the Steam version of GTA San Andreas
1.2. We delete its folder in Steam\SteamApps\common. Exactly the folder, and not through the function
"delete contents".
1.3. Download the game from 2005 and unpack the archive into
Steam\SteamApps\common ( . sk/d/z31ZPqAv37oPX7)
Steam will also think that we are playing the original GTA San Andreas, so its in-game features (chat, browser, etc.) will remain in place.

2. After installation, your saves will stop working, but saves downloaded from the Internet will work. Therefore, I’ll throw in as a bonus a save before the first mission, in which all the graffiti, shells, etc. are collected, the missions of the medic, the taxi driver and the rest are completed.

3. You will not get banned if you change game files. Rockstar Games doesn't care what you do with GTA San Andreas.

Localization of GTA: San Andreas 0.56 from SanLtd Team

Russifier from 1C is good, but our translators gave the characters other names (Sweet - Handsome, Big Smoke - Steam Locomotive, etc.).
SPENT RUSSIFIER into the firebox. This is already a hackneyed squalor. Yes, and here I’m describing how to put the game in order, and not turn it into even more slag.
The only sensible crack for GTA San Andreas - 0.56 from SanLtd Team
Download from here - . sk/d/9ZGozCnz37otqz

In the installer we specify the folder with the game, due to a bug in the installer it will write Grand Theft Auto San Andreas twice. We remove the repetition and in the end let the installation come out something like this:

Installing the CLEO library

The CLEO library is a thing that will allow us to run scripts. Included - Asi Loader from Silent
Download CLEO -
We run the downloaded file, the installation path should usually be like this (d is the hard drive on which you have steam installed. This can be drive C, E, L, etc. Find the folder with steam and specify the path as in the screenshot) .

In order not to open the game archives many times using third-party utilities, you need to download ModLoader. Unpack the files and folder from the archive into the root folder of the game (where gta_sa.exe is located)

How it works. You have replacement files or a script (let's say Silentpatch files). You create a folder in the modloader folder with any name and throw your modification files into it. Done, the mod works in the game.

SilentPatch is a script that fixes most of the game's bugs. The main ones - raises the frame limiter from 25 to 30 FPS, fixes the mouse, adds resolutions to widescreen monitors.

We drag out the folder from the archive into the modloader folder in the game folder

About the frame limiter. If you disable it in the settings, then you will of course have 60 or more FPS, but the more FPS in the game, the slower the motorcycles ride, and Karl swims and runs even slower. Therefore the frame limiter must be enabled.

Fix for widescreen monitors

If you don’t like the standard pictures in the menu, which are of low quality, then throw the fronten2.txd file into Grand Theft Auto San Andreas > models, replacing the original file.

Also install loading screens that are redrawn in FullHD (the size of the original loading screens is 800x600). Place the LOADSCS file in Grand Theft Auto San Andreas > models > txd.
