Odd Upside-Down Darkmod

Recommended Posts

So, due to the problems mentioned here, I modified my Darkmod doomconfig by hand, then set it as Read Only.

Specifically, I set

 

seta r_multiSamples "4"

 

seta image_anisotrophy "16"

 

seta r_swapinterval "8"

(I later thought that "swap" may be making it upside down, so I changed it back to the default of 0, but there was no change)

 

seta r_bloom "1"

 

seta s_useEAXReverb "1"

 

I believe that's all I modified.

 

When I enter the game, the floor is up, and the ceiling is down. I'm walking on the ceiling from my perspective, and, when I jump, I "fall" a bit before being sucked back to the ceiling. My controls for up/down are reversed as well (that is, moving my mouse forward makes me look down, and pulling it back makes me look up, from my upside-down perspective).

 

Uh, solutions? Hopefully?

AFAIK Doom 3 only supports up to a value of '8' for image_anisotropy and r_swapinterval is for vertical sync; it's either 0 or 1, all other values are ignored and doom 3 uses the the vid cards system value instead.

 

r_swapInterval changes the drivers wglSwapInterval.

 

wglSwapInterval(0) disables retrace synchronization and wglSwapInterval(1) enables it. Whatever you decide to use, wglSwapInterval _should_ override any driver settings, but don't necessarily expect it to.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Uh... Why is it only half-reading my Darkmod Doomconfig file? I disabled bloom in the file, but it remains enabled in the game. Yes, I set the file to read-only, so it can't be changed. I also tried changing that other thing back to 8 instead of 16, but it still shows 16 in the game. Clearly, the game's reading a file elsewhere, but where? Doom 3's core directory? That one doesn't say 16, either, and doesn't even HAVE a bloom option!

 

EDIT: Oh, I see--it made a copy of the faulty Doomconfig, so I went back and changed that one, too.

 

How do I disable ATI's whatever-thing? It's not currently running in my taskbar, nor is it set to start with the computer.

You have to install the latest drivers from their website. They don't let you download the Catalyst Control Centre seperately.

 

Now I get all this crap on startup...

The only reports we've got so far indicate that Catalyst AI is the sole culprit.

 

Although, if you want to mess around with other settings to see if they can help instead, that could be useful for other people. :) (Yandros from TTLG reported that disabling Catalyst AI led to a crash when starting D3 on his system.)

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
