Hello guys,

 

unfortunately i cannot start thedarkmod on my ubuntu 14.04 system. It is a 64-bit one, but i already installed all the necessary libraries.

 

The GPU is an Intel Ironlake Mobile chip and i could not find any new drivers. Some brilliant minds of you got any idea how to get thedarkmod running?

Welcome to the forum Maple,

I'm running also running tdm on my laptop with Ubuntu 14.04. (32-bit Version however).
My System specs are
Intel Pentium CPU P6200 @ 2.13GHz × 2
1,8 GiB RAM
Intel Ironlake Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2

 

and besides of a quite low fps rate and occasional freezing I have no problems running it.

Looking at your output, your system seems to have troubles with OpenGL. Are you sure you have the latest drivers? The ones in the Ubuntu repository are mostly outdated. You could try to get the newest ones here:

I hope that helps you.

Look here:

 

http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=FAQ

 

Disable vsync.

Lower AA and AF quality options

Disable Post Processing.

Set Ambient and Interaction shaders to simple.

Set object detail to low.

 

Try image_downsize args.

 

Finally, try tdm_lg_interleave values above 1.

Glad that you got it working. With the low framerate however i'm afraid i can't help you much.

Normally I keep all the graphic settings to their lowest level, but even then I only get up to 20 FPS in simpler indoor areas - which is bearable. When there are AI or torches around, the fps-rate drops significantly and in outdoor areas it falls down a bottomless pit.

 

nbohr's comment made me interested in which of the settings actually affect the fps-rate. Not all of them have an effect - at least not on my system:

- Enabling Antialising didn't make any notable difference.

- Increasing texture anisotropy, vertical synchronisation or object details didn't have any notable effect on fps.

- Neither did tdm_lg_interleave or r_postprocess

- Neither did increasing com_videoRAM or sys_videoRAM.

- Forcing image_downSize did nothing but corrupt water surfaces and torch flames.

 

- Enabling/Disabling Effects: That had quite a huge effect (around 33%) on the fps rate.

- Enabling Ambient Rendering made the fps rate drop (but lighting looked so much better with it... :blush: )

 

Seems like the only option left would be getting more RAM...

Btw what framerate do you normally have?

Hmm.

 

You seem to be enabling graphical features rather than lowering or disabling them?

 

A few last things to try:

 

Try enabling or disabling GPU shadow extrusion:

r_useShadowVertexProgram 1 or 0

try disabling Index Buffers:

 

r_useIndexBuffers 0

 

RAM may not help much unless you have a dual\triple channel motherboard and the new

stick will cause you to go to dual-channel mode.

Hmm.

The thing is I had already everything set to the lowest settings or disabled by default and was curious if turning them up had any further impact on the (already minuscule) fps rate ;)

 

A few last things to try:

 

Try enabling or disabling GPU shadow extrusion:

r_useShadowVertexProgram 1 or 0

try disabling Index Buffers:

 

r_useIndexBuffers 0

 

RAM may not help much unless you have a dual\triple channel motherboard and the new

stick will cause you to go to dual-channel mode.

 

disabling Index Buffers (r_useIndexBuffers 0) didn't seem to change anything.

 

disabling GPU shadow extrusion (r_useShadowVertexProgram 0) got me some corrupted graphics (shadows), but didn't seem to have an effect on the fps-rate.

 

One last thing I experimented with was sys_videoRAM. With the default setting "0" (auto-guess) I get the following message when I start tdm:

Auto-guess videoRAM

guessing videoRAM (use + set sys_videoRAM to force)...

guess failed, return default low-end VRAM setting (64 MB VRAM)

64 MB video memory

 

I thought the low video memory must be the reason for the low fps-rate, so I manually entered 128, 256 and 512 MB as VideoRAM and restarted tdm, but the fps remained on the same level...

How do you see that message? Do I get it right, that this means that tdm can't detect/access any video memory?

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
