some questions

[jmasterBoB]

Hi, i have some questions about the tdm, maybe you can help me!

 

do keys dissappear after you kill/stune enemys?

 

Is it possible to pinch out flare? I read somethin in the training mission that it is possible but there was no note how you exactly do that, there is no key or something.

 

Can i adjust size of the symbols of the items which are shown on HUd, for example when i take sword you can see that the sword is selected in the left under corner on screen, or when

you take the lockpick you see it in the right under corner, because for a unknown reason i changed the size, so i cant read anymore what item it is, when i have many books or keys

in the inventory this is really bad

 

and are there some commands for the console to generate items, like water arrows, flashbombs, .. ?

 

thanks!

No, they will still be on the AI's belt. You may have to turn them over to see it.

You can pinch out candles by picking them up and hitting the "use" button.

Not without modifying the hud.gui file, which I wouldn't recommend.

Yes, but I don't recall what they are. Someone else will probably know.

Where can i find this hud.gui file?

I tried to change the resolution, but it don`t work

 

so here is a screenshot that you better can see my problem

 

 

everything worked fine until i pressed some random keys, than i was trown to windows desktop and a window appreared "windows key snap/lock function" i rejected it and go back to tdm, after this they items and the text was very small, unable to read it now

 

maybe i should open a topic in the technical problems thread?

 

and thanks for the fast help!

Hmm, the images look to be the right size, but the text is small. I'm not sure what "windows key snap/lock function" is...is the text size changed anywhere else for you?

[jmasterBoB]

no, its only on HUD ingame, i unfortunatley changed it somehow...

It looks like the wrong font and it's cropped at the bottom. If you have changed the hud gui then I recommend you delete it and it should default to the one in the pk4. If not, exit Dark Mod and run the tdm updater again and make sure it has got all the files correctly.

 

It's not enough just to change the font or font size in the hud - the text has to fit inside a specific rectangle so if the font size is too big then it gets cropped.

 

You should be able to reduce the screen res in the Dark Mod Settings menus but I can't recall if the hud font shows larger or if it is scaled to be the same at any resolution. Also look at the setting for hud opacity or transparency if you have trouble seeing it. Maybe set it to be totally opaque it might be clearer for you?

I too have had some issues with strange small fonts in inventory/weapons but I had assumed that these were mapper preferences set for the FM, so I didn't complain. wish i had taken note which FM's this happened on now.

There are these in the DoomConfigs:

seta gui_mediumFontLimit "0.3"

seta gui_smallFontLimit "0.15"

I solved the problem now, I simply changed the missions, now all is shown correctly again, i don`t know what exactly caused this problem, because i`ve changed nothing in the config or in the hud.gui file, well this is really strange..

thank you for helping!
