to rech the most fans, i posted it here:

all those who know my screenshots also know that the sysrequ. could be high in some areas (for those who dont know: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/12167-johannes-box/ )

 

because 7upMan is testing some parts and i want to know how far i can go, i want to know if there are systems which are much slower than this one of 7upMan:

 

AMD Phenom 2 X3 720 - 2,8 GHz Triple-Core

4 GB DDR2-1066

Radeon HD5770

This one which are faster than this one, dont care...

I think there is room for FMs with higher hardware requirements. In 1999, Thief did not have very good performance on my PC; and in 2002, Calendra's Legacy also lagged. A few years later, both were problem-free.

 

Of course, proper optimalisation is still adviseable.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

gtx 260 (650mhz)

4x3Ghz Q6600 ;)

looking forward to new maps with better use of grafic cards

 

 

 

 

EDIT: But in my mind a HD5770 is not that weak ;) but as I said, I like to get better grafics, also if I have to buy a new card.

Optimization is only thing I expecting from D3 sources , TDM is not nextgen game,pc with 2gb ram and 512 mb card should be enough to play it without lags

 

sorry for that but ....noooo XXXDDDD....also the severs are hard to render on 7upMans PC...after some optim it shouldnt be that big problem but such a slow sys...dont know

 

After changing to my new Sys with all high end components and overclocking its hard to check when it is too much of detail^^

I don't blame you :)

 

 

Id Tech 4 was developed for corridor shooter,I don't think Id expected something like TDM...

 

 

Proceed with caution!

I dont know why I didnt think fo this earlier... I have a laptop I use for testing my missions to provide some sort of scalability before I release them.

 

Dell Xps M1330

1280*800 screen

T9550 (a mobile 2.66Ghz c2d)

geforce 8400GS

AV97 on-board sound

4GB ram

vista sp1

 

It runs all the biggest T2 FM's with ease but for TDM I have had to turn all the options right down to keep the frame rate in the 25fps mark. So if you want another tester etc you know where I am.

 

Regarding your main rig, that's some monster you got there, mine is -

 

3.0Ghz core 2 quad (Qx9650)

GTX 480 (asus v-tweak)

6GB DDR2-1066 ram

1.2TB raid-0 array (320*4)

thats the idea...my old laptop rolleyes.gif, before i created and build up my new machine (called "nabla-operator" laugh.gif for the math, nerds and engineers) i also played tdm on it...thats the way to test, thanks for this idea...so everybody (except betatesters) can fully enjoy the mission at the first time.

      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?
