Hello Taffers,

 

Today when I tried TDM, and the resolution was not full screen. I don't know why, i changed absolutely nothing.

 

This is the effect on my screen:

(the game start perfectly but not scale at full screen, i have alway the the little black border on left high, as you can see on the image)

 

I tried configuring a lot of settings in the doomconfig.cfg on the darkmod root, but without any success :-(

 

Any idea/suggestion to solve this?

 

My HW/SW configuration is on my sign.

What is your exact screen resolution?

 

Monitor brand and make will help also.

 

I tried 1280x720 and also other res up, same problem.

 

My monitor is an ASUS 16:9 24'' 1920x1080

That's strange indeed. But give this a try...

Run 'nvidia-settings' and go to the settings for your monitor under GPU0 > DFP-0 (most likely)... it is just below 'PowerMizer' setting. You may want to try tinkering with the GPU Scaling Method settings.

Mine defaults to Force Full GPU Scaling (checked), and GPU Scaling Method = Stretched.

You may want to try 'Centered' or 'Aspect Ratio Scaled', to see how the screen will display then. My guess would be that yours somehow got set to 'Aspect Ratio Scaled'... but that's just a guess.

See this screenshot:

So you tried forcing either:

 


seta r_customHeight "1080"

seta r_customWidth "1920"

seta r_fullscreen "1"

seta r_mode "-1"

seta r_aspectratio "1"

 

or

 

 


seta r_customHeight "720"

seta r_customWidth "1280"

seta r_fullscreen "1"

seta r_mode "-1"

seta r_aspectratio "1"

 

...in DoomConfig.cfg ???

 

 

Edit:

 

(I fixed the last line in the configs above, sorry.)

Tried few times, but nothing :-(

 

The thing that i cannot understand is *what* changed this situation. I've done nothing to change my graphics settings in doom3/darkmod (and also on my global desktop enviroment), so it's strange.

Mmmh pity, this specific settings in my NV card it's not present (maybe my 8600GT it's too basic, or i use different version of proprietary NV video drivers). But I think you have found some way to a solution: i think too that it's how my card now make the scaling at fullscreen. The strangeness is that i never changed this :-(

 

Here's my NV proprietary panel and GPU driver version:

Anyway thanks a lot to both of you for your suggestions, DarkMod community really rocks! :laugh:

Ah, ok. On yours, the setting would be for CRT-1. Maybe the scaling settings only work with flat panel screens.

Mine it's a flat panel screen, not a crt :-)

 

(it's simple a LCD 24'')

The control area is listing it as a CRT from ASUS in your screen-shot though... ;)

 

How about some screens of the sub-menus for some of those options in the tree on the left ? ^_^

 

(edit: BTW... did you see the fixed configs above... :blush: )

Ah ok :-D

 

I presume that the NVpanel sense a CRT because I use a classic VGA connection, i think the problem it's not there.

Nothing too with fixed "aspectratio" line :-(

 

Even more strange: if I run Doom3, all it's normal, the screen it's always full a well scaled with all the resolutions selected.

Hmmm... have you compared your doom3 and TDM config files side by side to be sure all graphics options are set the same?

Also, have you tried disabling full-screen mode in TDM, restarting the game in a window, then re-enable full-screen and restart the game again?

Ladro, one thing you can try it to look a the cvar values during running TDM. Open the console (usually the key left of the "1") and enter:

 

r_customHeight

 

etc. and see what their values are. Maybe they are different from what you put in DoomConfig.cfg?

Tried, but nothing :-( :-( :-(

 

I really cannot understand.

The var display the right value "720" and mode 6 (1280x720). For me it'a mistery. May I'll try erasing al config file, and re-install doom and darkmod from scratch.

I would just try deleting the TDM doomconfig file first and the next time you start TDM up it should create a brand new one.

 

Tried also with a brand new (autogenerated) doomconfig.cfg , nada :-(

 

I'm going crazy. I really cannot understand why i have this problem.

 

I've uploaded the log (started the game by shell to log and then quit), and my brand new doomgonfig.cfg

If anyone has some suggestion, I accept any idea :-)

      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?
