Help Please ;) Dark Place Client

[vinny]

Hello Everyone =)

I've been trying for endless hours to get a working Dark Place client with the new water and textures but for the life of me I cannot get it to work, would it be possible for somebody who has it working for them to rar there folder up and send it to me? I have my own ftp if required =)

Thank you

Hello vinny,

Are you speaking about the "DP pretty water" ?
If so, it has its own thread, where you can post your questions/issues: click me

I think every possible reason for possible issues with it has been discussed in this thread.
It works with every DarkPlaces build since more than 6 years.

Believe me when I say that most of the time, when someone has an issue with it,
it was because he/she didn�t read the included readme.txt.
Setting the cvar "r_water" to "1" is the only change you need in your game.
Nothing else must be done. Everything else is default setting.
Delete your autoexec�s and config�s if you want to start fresh (in case you lost overview).

VISed maps are also NOT mandatory to use "DP pretty water".
You will not see entities through the water with unVISed maps, that�s the only difference.
But the visual itself is not affected by VISed/unVISed maps.

So, download any "DP pretty water" version you want and it will run out of the box.
You do not need to download a gigabyte sized compilation for the "DP pretty water" to work.

And in the rare case, that your laptop graphic card does not support these kind of shaders,
the compilation will also not help you !
It uses the same "DP pretty water"-type as the above linked thread offers.

In the end, there are also a few NVIDIA driver builds, that are known to cause issues with DP in general.
They are mentioned in the linked thread as well.
To find out, if you are using any of these affected drivers, open your console and listen to what she has to say after loading a map.
Remember, the console is your friend. My console is called Jenny

Kind regards,
Seven
