Reflections
Fixed:
Shadows, lighting, effects, non-sli issues, etc
Removed:
Fake shadows[Circle shadows. Casted shadows remain]
Issues remaining:
Shadows are very accurate but may appear off at high convergence setting.
Full HD series is now complete. Should be very enjoyable after patch but it still may have an issue here and there. Id rate it around a excellent, can either use no crosshair or nvidia laser sight. If this is a problem this patch is probably not for you. I talked about it on SS3 but this game came out in 2009 and actually looks better then games coming out now [2013] which is a shocker for a indie game.
Demo is available on Steam.
Install to TWO LOCATIONS. /Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter/ + /Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter/BIN/

ReplyDeleteHi, I was wondering if you could look into a 3d fix for the game "Postal III" a much underrated game that needs a fix for things like its 2d crosshair and glitches associated with water some shadows and some of the effects.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the fix you are incredible !!!
ReplyDeleteI've no word to show you my gratitude.
thanks for the 3d vision community.
Np. Its kind of cool modding games because you run into games you normally wouldn't. The serious sam series blew my mind. Seriously [Pun intended?], 1+2 looks better then games comming out today on average and BFE looks like a AMD/NVIDIA sponsored game. Like I've never seen that level of optimization, options in a game before. Not only that it shows which optimizations effect GPU/CPU/MEMORY. Wow.
DeleteBTW, if your on 2 I updated it.
OK, Sorry. I may have asked before... where is the first location to install the pack? I know where the .bin folder is...but where else does it go?
ReplyDeleteBTW I got this recently as part of a Humble Bundle pack that includes Hard Reset. It is 3D Vision ready and it is a totally rad take on the oldschool shooter, same guys who just released the Shadow Warrior reboot.
One level down from bin.

Two locations
Ah, der, I get it now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOK, here's one... How do you get a game like this, like many, which has an apparently uneditable quick save key to not conflict with the Nvidia save config/convergence keys? Often I can map Nvidia keys to alt + shift + ctl + key to avoid conflicts (which sometimes requires a Twister game of fingers when trying to also hold right mouse with some games ;-) ), but often games like this do not seem to recognize you are pressing modifiers, and will not save the config. Rather, it saves a quick save and seems to discard my convergence settings.
ReplyDeleteNvidia control panel->set up stereoscopic 3d->set keyboard shortcuts [check mark in advanced]
DeleteReassign keys.
If it helps I assign Depth to F1 / F2
Convergence to + / -
Havent had any issues with those keys being used for whatever.
err convergence I use = / - [i just think of it as +]
Deletegame shows the starting screen OK, but after i load a game or the karnak demo, it crashes....(freezes with no error)
ReplyDeleteI just redownloaded my copy on steam. Installed fix. And played 5 mins of karnak demo. Works fine.
DeleteMake sure you don't have anything running in background/ game works without fix [d3d9.dll]

There hasnt been an update to game in many years, if there were any problems someone else would of have had it as well tbh.
DeleteForgot to mention, was only tested on legit copy/steam.
Deleteyeah its the steam game.
ReplyDeletei will try deleting d3d9.dll from BOTH locations. (ini too?)
its the d3d9 dll thats crashing not only the game but also windows7x64 here...(cant even access the taskmanager)
ReplyDeletewhat nvidia driver version are you using? (if you are)
Newest, but driver doesnt matter.
DeleteThis is only happening to you, so you probably have some application open that is conflicting with it.
http://helixmod.blogspot.com/2013/07/installation-known-issues.html?utm_source=BP_recent
Go through this list and make sure none of these are open.
I will do this for you this time but you need to find what is causing the conflict from link above next time this happens.

DELETE THE D3D9.DLL FROM BOTH FOLDERS

LAUNCH HELIXMODLAUNCHER.EXE AND LEAVE IT OPEN.
LAUNCH SAMHD.EXE [THE GAME]
nope, sorry didnt work either.
ReplyDeleteim gonna delete the ubisoft game "rayman origins" next, to be sure, even tough it DOES NOT use uplay...
someone ran into an issue that may of been related. I have no idea why it would effect only a couple people out of hundreds *shrug*
DeleteBut anywho, it might be fixed. Redownload.
DeleteIF NOT

And see if it loads. We are still trying to figure it out but it seems people on older video cards are having issues with a new 3d driver + helixmod
I got the mod working. only problem I hav is all items\enemies are standing in a black sphere and dead enemies are encased in a black sphere. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteno idea can try this version I guess.
Deletehttps://s3.amazonaws.com/eqznew/ss1/shaderoverride(4).zip
Hi. I have same problem with the black sphere and dead enemies. Tried both zips. Any ideas anyone? Thanks ...
ReplyDeleteI am not really active anymore but it might be tied to convergence. Try reducing,
DeleteI figured it out. All you need to do is disable ambient shadows. Go to Options, Performance, GPU Speed, Customize. It'll make the enemies presence look a bit unnatural in the game world, but it's still miles better than black spheres.
