Lod bias

[Taquito]

Sorry if this question has been asked before but how do I permanently modify the lod bias in the game? I normally modify it in the cfg file but for some reason it always seem to reset back to default. I happen to prefer the crisp look rather than the blurry aliased effect. Any help here?

There are two different LOD bias types in TDM. Which cvar did you change?

 

Also, if you add your desired value to an autoexec.cfg file it should force the change on every startup.

"seta image_lodbias" What's the other cvar? I usually change it to -3.

 

Could you explain the whole autoexec.cfg file thing? Thank you for the quick response.

The other cvar is seta tdm_lod_bias. It controls Object Detail. The Object Detail slider in-game serves the same purpose.

Think of autoexec.cfg as your own personal Darkmod.cfg with just the changes you wish to apply.

You don't need to include every cvar in the list. Just put a few of your favorite tweaks into an autoexec.cfg

and they will always be applied on startup.

 

For example, Index Buffers run slowly on nvidia hardware so you can add:

 

seta r_useIndexBuffers "0"

 

to an autoexec.cfg and it will force them off.

thank you very much for the info nbohr1more. Perhaps in the future it can be set as an option in the menu since some of of prefer the crisp kind of old school feel. And it also helps a bit to the frame rate with the negative bias at least on my end.
