Did you noticed too some strange artefact for a millisecond in the left bottom corner since v1.03? Most times it seems covered but once I could swear that it looked like an envelope, color fits too, it´s like a bright cream-yellow. Unfortunately I couldn´t make a screenshot so far, it´s too fast.

 

My Windows-taskbar is on top and also hidden and I have no Mail-programs running. Also I´m offline while playing.

 

I also have the impression that it only appears in new areas, because after I saw it I did go back to where it appeared but it wouldn´t came back.

 

There is only one game that I play too atm and that is good old HeXeN (doomsday-engine) and there nothing like this happened.

 

So, you saw it too? :unsure:

If it matters, I play without Lightgem and also most time without HUD, I only activate HUD for using items but I can try the default config...

 

Seprentine wasn't talking about the 'hud' lightgem, he meant the diamond shaped model that we use for lightgem calculations.

 

There is a debug mode that displays a top or bottom view of the diamond model for testing purposes. It shouldn't be on though...not sure how it would have become activated.

No April, mine is set to 0 too.

 

I just tried the default cfg (by downloading it via updater) and it seems to be gone. But hell, everything I change I put into my autoexec.cfg, see:

 

 

seta tdm_door_control 1
seta tdm_frob_weapon_selects_weapon 0 *
seta com_allowConsole 1
seta g_showPlayerShadow 1
seta g_fov 70
exec saveload.cfg

 

But I tried before without it, but the artefact was there still. edit: I´m not so sure now, I just copied my bindings over the default cfg and now I saw it again. Could it be 'tdm_door_control'? I tell you later, I´m also testing sth else...

edit2: It´s not door_control and it´s not fov. And it´s not the playershadow too. Deactivating the console lets me think that it helps, but for a moment I thought I saw it. :unsure:

 

*I know, this is set to 0 by default, but I wanted to keep if I wanna change it in the future.

 

So, here is my Doomconfig, maybe you can see sth? The bloom_kernel set to 1 is not the cause and I can´t remember what I changed else.

As a last resort, what cvars would I need to deactivate the LightGem-processing since I don´t use it anyway?

Uhm...you can't deactivate lightgem processing. ;) You might be using the hud readout, but the game still uses it to calculate your visibility to let the AI know how visible you are to them. lol It seems like your config is corrupted somehow.

 

So if you copy / pasted your config onto the clean one, perhaps try using a program like notepad ++ and use the compare option to show what differences are between the files. Then you can copy the changes over manually to see what happens.

I did as you told NH, but nothing came out of it.

 

And Mortem, that is already 0 or should I activate it? Anyway, I set tdm_lg_weak to '1' before and that helped, so far. I can 'test' longer tonight...

I also didn´t tried different Ambient-settings.

 

Where would I find that diamond-texture to confirm it is what I see?

It needs to be off: 0.

 

Don't turn on tdm_lg_weak. That makes the lightgem use mathematical calculations, but is extremely inaccurate. You could be standing in a pool of light, but if the light origin is obscured at all by the light fixture, it'll return complete darkness.

 

 

If it's not the config, something is probably wrong with the code dll. Something about a lightgem tweak you tried? Delete your tdm_game01.pk4 and tdm_game02.pk4, and run tdm_update to reacquire them.

Yup tdm_lg_weak is unable to see certain lights / shadows...so don't use that.

No, I haven´t messed with Lightgem since 1.01 (and didn´t saved any changes). Hmm, I´ll deactivate lg_weak again and will test more tonight...

 

Also, I have an ATI now and never played 1.02 with it. (Catalyst is of course disabled) So I can´t really be sure if it´s there since 1.03 or not.

      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 ?
