I've always had terrible framerate issues with RGA and RGH, specifically while switching/reloading weapons. Is anybody aware of which graphics options may cause this? My rig ain't anything special--8600GT, 2.5G memory, 2.13 dual core--but jesus, it should run doom.

Mantle posted:I get a little hiccup when doing the same thing on my MacBook 2010. Yeah it's integrated graphics, but come on, it's doom. I don't even get a hiccup, I get atrocious, near constant stuttering that makes the wad unplayable. The belt-fed machine gun in particular will cause a freeze on the same frame for nearly a full second about two or three times in a single reload animation. A friend of mine had the same issues when we tried to play RGA on lan, and his hardware is completely different from/more powerful than mine. Tried resetting our config files, nothing. Still, I've never seen this issue mentioned anywhere else. On another, unrelated issue: This same friend recently got his monitor back from repairs, and supposedly had some kind of driver issues. He tried rolling back drivers and supposedly spent 6 hours troubleshooting, but for some reason he can no longer play Skulltag in OpenGL. I believe he just gets a black screen. We're aching to get the Stronghold server going again, but that's not going to happen until this is resolved. Any ideas? treat fucked around with this message at 17:42 on Jul 1, 2011 |

Honestly, I just think it looks great and want a separate install for when I feel like playing with low graphics. Also, it seems he just got OpenGL to work, however only in windowed mode. I have no idea what's going on as he's terrible at explaining it, but apparently he just blank screens when trying to run in OpenGL in full screen.

I've been playing airquake and horrorquake with friends recently, but one thing bugs me. The font of the menus and hud in Darkplaces is a gritty, washed out mess, and I can't find a way to edit it through options, documentation or google. I'd like to be able to change the colors and textures, and maybe even the font. It's incredibly difficult to read. Any help with this?

Not from the host themself, but a repository of verified mirrors which host the wad. Wadseeker is the button right next to host server. If you can't find the wad you need with that, you'll have to download it yourself.

CyRaptor posted:I generally enjoy getting "lost" in most games I play because I've either got a great innate sense of direction or all the years I've invested into iD games have left me unhappy with anything other than intricate level designs. I just played through Z1M1 for the first time, though, and I absolutely understand what you're saying. I ended up running around the the map twice before I discovered the side room that lead to the red key card. It's convoluted and cluttered as hell, but as a reinterpretation of episode 1, I think I'll be more than willing to put up with it. One question though: Is KDiZD designed with enabled jumping in mind? There are quite a few spots that look like secrets that could be easily jumped to, but I haven't been able to find any other alternate paths to them short of searching the entire level for some switch that'll activate an elevator or bridge.

So I've got an issue with KDiZD. Every time I reach the unnecessarily gaudy intermission with the 3D map and ridiculous stat pages, I run into "No map data loaded" and the only way to continue is to nextmap it and lose the progress of the map prior. This is with both skulltag and GZDoom. It almost works with zdoom, though sometimes it gets stuck in the stat selection and won't allow me to get to the "exit intermission" tab. Is there any way around this? I think I recall an older version with the classic intermission screen, but I haven't been able to dig anything up.

Asking again: Is there a version of KDiZD that foregoes the intermission map? Maybe one where the intermission map actually works? I've spent 2 hours every other night this week beating a horribly convoluted KDiZD map only for the intermission map to kick me back into the classic version of the map I just beat, or fail to recognize that I just beat a map at all, leaving me stuck on the intermission map with no way of progressing. The maps are frustrating enough themselves. I don't need the god drat intermission making it any harder to play.

I take it on a map by map basis. I'll save at the start as to not lose my progress, but avoid quick saving. I find that quick saving in most games--even though it's just a moment--pulls you out of the action and eliminates a lot of tension. When you quick save, you're effectively stepping back into your comfort zone by giving yourself a brief respite. I feel that an ability to step back and relax at will is deeply detrimental to the budding sensations a game can incite by pulling you right out of the thick of it. Just having the option to quicksave sometimes pulls me out of the moment by just knowing it's there tempting me. It's the thrill, the adrenaline. The constant volley between moments of fear and smug rear end kicking. Not to mention, when you complete a difficult map without the crutch of a quicksave, the satisfaction is magnified. I've always been primarily attracted to playing games for challenge, though. Plot/immersion/atmosphere/aesthetics don't typically interest me at all. That said, gently caress Thy Flesh Consumed right in the dick.

I've been playing around with hosting a Brutal Doom coop server with zpack, but many of those maps are a little too rough for 1 life survival coop. Instead, I'd like to do either one of two things: Either A) respawn with default health and pistol only, but I'd like to add a respawn timer to make dying just a bit more detrimental. Say, 30 seconds or so. or B) keep the 1 life per player in survival coop, and have the map change to the next in rotation once the last player dies rather than restarting the same map. Are there some custom parameters that will allow me to do either/both of these? treat fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jul 28, 2011 |

tooooooo bad posted:Can't test it right now but https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=16481 might do it. PistolStartEnforcer is great, but TacticalChainsaw is incredible. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with brutal doom, which is quite sad considering how well it fits. If you haven't tried it out, TacticalChainsaw simply gives the chainsaw an alt-fire which ejects the blade as a gravity affected projectile that deals 40 damage to any enemy it hits. Picking the blade up or grabbing another chainsaw reloads it.

Colon Semicolon posted:I'm really suprised at how little people talk about Gunman Chronicles. That game is in a totally different league all it's own. never have I felt more in control of a gunfight than I did in any other game. why hasn't such powerful customization features been put in other games? it really feels like something entirely unique to it's experience. I played the hell out of the demo back when it first released, but never bought it. Thanks to this post, I was reminded of a copy tucked away in a CD case full of old games a friend left at my place after a LAN party six years ago. I can't believe how well this game holds up. The pacing and challenge is top notch, and the scripted sequences and environmental hazards rival Half-Life in quality. I just ran into Jim French (Father Grigori, L4D's Bill) voicing a scientist, too. That was a nice surprise. Like every HL mod/game, the enemies are all largely reskins, but in this it's hardly noticeable. I didn't even realize the big dinosaur was a Tentacle reskin until thinking about it just now.
