Darkmod.cfg ... some stuff left over from D3

[PranQster]

I was going through the Darkmod.cfg file to try to sort some framerate issues which often occur when launching TDM.< < < (ignore that last bit)

The following entries caught my eye as much of it is for old Doom3. Perhaps some of the entries are used by TDM, but I am wondering if any of the following can be safely trimmed out without causing trouble for TDM:

seta ui_showGun "1"
seta ui_autoSwitch "1"
seta ui_team "Red"
seta ui_skin "skins/characters/player/marine_mp"
seta ui_name "Player"
seta si_serverURL ""
seta si_spectators "1"
seta si_usePass "0"
seta si_warmup "0"
seta si_teamDamage "0"
seta si_timeLimit "10"
seta si_fragLimit "10"
seta si_maxPlayers "4"
seta si_map "game/mp/d3dm1"
seta si_gameType "singleplayer"
seta si_name "DOOM Server"

Well, I looked in the code for the first one, "ui_showGun", and it's used to show the weapon models as they are raised.

 

Given that, I would just take the KISS approach and leave things as they are, even though the names might no longer seem appropriate.

Keeping it simple does seem best. Gonna leave it alone.

i.m.o all these config-lines you mentioned, doesnt have to do with the video framerate (maybe system performance).

 

These are indeed old configlines, because the devs said they removed all the network code.

(But for me, are these lines a hint to fix a feature problem that i have.

I hope that the devs doesnt removed ALL the network code from TDM)

 

Where does your framerate issues occur?

 

For a start, there is a performance tweaks article on the wiki:

And as a test, you can comment-out the lines you mentioned (using "//") and check if tdm runs.

I worded my original post improperly. I should have left the framerate issue un-mentioned because I was posting this more out of curiousity about these old doom named config stuff and which are still used by tdm.

Doesnt work because, Tdm regenerated the config file.
