Lod bias


Taquito

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this question has been asked before but how do I permanently modify the lod bias in the game? I normally modify it in the cfg file but for some reason it always seem to reset back to default. I happen to prefer the crisp look rather than the blurry aliased effect. Any help here?

There are two different LOD bias types in TDM. Which cvar did you change?

 

Also, if you add your desired value to an autoexec.cfg file it should force the change on every startup.

"seta image_lodbias" What's the other cvar? I usually change it to -3.

 

The other cvar is seta tdm_lod_bias. It controls Object Detail. The Object Detail slider in-game serves the same purpose.

 

 

 

 

Could you explain the whole autoexec.cfg file thing? Thank you for the quick response.

 

 

Think of autoexec.cfg as your own personal Darkmod.cfg with just the changes you wish to apply.

You don't need to include every cvar in the list. Just put a few of your favorite tweaks into an autoexec.cfg

and they will always be applied on startup.

 

For example, Index Buffers run slowly on nvidia hardware so you can add:

 

seta r_useIndexBuffers "0"

 

to an autoexec.cfg and it will force them off.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
