New to The Dark Mod. Some issues. Awesome mod!

[AluminumHaste]

Isn't auto-parry the default?

I don't think so.

EDIT: Just checked by deleting the darkmod.cfg, auto-parry is disabled by default.

That should probably be on by default.

I've also had issues where the game will run poorly and restarting seems to fix it. However it's so random and rare that I never remember to try and figure out why it's happening.

Only other thing I could suggest is to play TDM with Vertical Sync off.

 

EDIT: Also, for Combat, Autoparry is a life saver.

 

Thanks for the tips. Next time I get fps issues, I will try to restart the game.

 

About the combat autoparry. I have it enabled, but it doesn't help much, if enemies sometimes attack you faster than you can parry them.

One thing I can say about AI difficulty in missions. This community tends to lean towards pure ghosting so missions are typically designed

to give players options to avoid AI. This means that you often lack tools to confront them, such as fire-arrows or holy-water.

If you are not inclined to be obsessive about your ghosting score, you can use the console to spawn some additional ammo.

 

spawn atdm:ammo_<ammo name>

I don't recall if it was mentioned but the AI also have hearing and vision sliders. You can lower these and more easily escape them too.

 

Try to participate in mission release betas. There you can offer your concerns over AI difficulty and game-play. If you gain a sympathetic

ear, there may be missions that are more tailored to your play-style.

 

Lastly, you could also get creative and either edit your local weapon script or the AI entity def files (in the pk4 files) if you want to make them weaker or

yourself more powerful.

Yes, I agree.

@AH, can you raise a tracker request then fella.

[AluminumHaste]

Can do.

[AluminumHaste]

Done http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=4368

[Bikerdude]

Will look into that.

[nbohr1more]

That's a game code change biker. You cannot commit it as a config file unless you're gonna add an autoexec.cfg and that is not

ideal as users could also have their own autoexec.

 

SysCvar.cpp

 

idCVar cv_melee_auto_parry( "tdm_melee_auto_parry", "0", CVAR_GAME | CVAR_ARCHIVE | CVAR_BOOL, "If set to 1, melee parries are chosen automatically to match the enemy's attack (manual parry mode is much harder)." );

[Bikerdude]

Ah ok, its gonna be a Gman, Stevel tracker then

[nbohr1more]

Or me

[Bikerdude]

I didn't think you were that far into coding fella, if that's the case then if you wouldn't mind that would be great.

[nbohr1more]

Yep, I'm a coder now. Hence the cubicLight beta and my fixes for nospecular lights and image_downsize affecting fonts and guis.

 

I'll get this committed. AH knows how to alter cvars so I'm surprised he didn't take this one himself?

[AluminumHaste]

No time sorry. With baby haven't really touched TDM much
