HMart 303 Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Those shots look freakin' amazing! Cannot wait to play this!! Exactly, me to, btw when this gets released will it become a default mission that you automatically play by clicking new game (transforming TDM in a game like any other) or will it behave just like a normal fan mission?

fllood 101 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Love the blue window lighting, the excellent water canal patchwork and also the wonderful harmony of the simple peasant kitchen. One only minor suggestion I come up with: The light color of the outdoor gaslights seam to have all the same yellow light color. Some little variety in the yellow cast lights would add to the overall already great atmosphere. Outstanding work guys !!

SteveL 1042 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Remember you can tick entity_color in the particle editor (if it isn't set up that way already) then change the color using the standard _color spawnarg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deadlove 260 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Most of those screenshots are mine and I don't use AA cuz my computer sucks and it effects the smoothness of the gameplay.

Deadlove 260 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Also, those screenshots were brightened from my original jpg's too, cuz I play TDM with really low gamma/brightness cuz I like it DARK. I think my settings are .9 for both gamma and .9 for brightness.

nbohr1more 2061 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 For promotional shots: Always turn up settings higher than you can comfortably play.8x AA and 16xAF is a good target. Always start with higher gamma and brightness, you can darken afterwards. Of course, quality settings are far less important than the artistic composition of the shots but some players see image quality artifacts as major annoyances (nails on a chalkboard). There's no reason to fret the low FPS because you can always revert the settings. You can even assign a hot key to take screens at higher IQ than you play at.

Deadlove 260 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Awesome, can someone instruct me as to set my screenshots to be set with 8xAA / 16xAF and higher brightness/gamma/resolution so I can play comfortably and the screenshots can be taken constantly without revising settings for each screenshot and then reverting back to playable settings?

I misunderstood Nbohr1more's post. I thought he meant I could play with no AA and 1x AF with reduced brightness/gamma/resolution but still assign a hot key that would take screenshots with 8xAA / 16xAF and certain brightness/gamma/resolution without having to manually reconfigure each time I wanted to get a sceen shot. I'll keep this in mind for screenshots this time around. Also, be forewarned all I have is a 17" that goes to 1280x1024 max. :-( I really need another 8GB of RAM and a better video card.

nbohr1more 2061 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yes it's possible to take screens at a different resolution than you play at. It's the same way you do it in Doom 3. Use google and search either Doom 3 tweak sites or these forums where AluminumHaste has posted the instructions many times.

SeriousToni 470 Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Could we use them as a quick update news on ModDB? Since the voting only last 4 days, we need to get some attention there to catch some votes I think. Or maybe a short post about the progress of the next update - just something to pop up at the users screens.
