Where are the '_zoom'-values hidden? I mean the 'g_fov'-changes that the Spyglass does.

 

Because I changed my g_fov to 70 and it´s just awesome, frobbing is much better now and it feels more realistic. Only problem is that the spyglass zooms in from 'g_fov 90' and I need it now to zoom in from '70', where to do that?

It´s not in the def and not in the gui, what else is there for such stuff?

 

I hope it´s not hardcoded in the dll? :huh:

It's hardcoded in tdm_playertools.script as

 

 

#define ZOOM_STARTFOV 90

 

Someone would need to create a cvar that players could change.

Hey, THANK YOU! As long as I can create a separate script-file with my changes it´s not really 'hardcoded' for my understanding. :)

 

In Doom3 it´s a different story however, I scanned the whole script-folder for sth with 'fov 90' but it´s nowhere. Also does Doom3´s method zoom in from the already changed g_fov-value, so here I would have to edit the zoom-in-value that actually is 70, my new fov. But that´s sth I can post over in Doom3world...

 

Thanks again, Grayman. I scanned Doom3´s script-files before for FOV-stuff, so I didn´t thought that TDM is using a script for the zoom. I thought it´s just the same zoom used in Doom3... :blush:

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      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!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
