Darkplaces highquality config

[tical]

If anyone knows how to get the best out of DP with commands, can someone set me up with a config

[Baker]

Sounds like a job for Monster.

[Monster]

Well it depends on what you want. Do you want all of the high-graphics settings turned on like RT World? Or a configuration that would be best for multiplayer??

What kind of DP commands do you mean?

[Baker]

Just paste your config in here, the one you use to kick everyone's ass.

Where's that DP command that gives you 0 ping Monster?

[foq]

ping -50

[R00k]

cl_movement -50

Re: Monster's config.

Was trying it out but blotchy rocket exposion spots seem to be left often. Example:



They tended to get in the way of vision a bit.
Asides from that i liked it though and would like to use it. What command would change/reduce these marks?

Also which command adjusts fullbrights in dp? They seem a little blinding in some areas.

Did you overclock your video card by any chance?

The only brightness tool you should mess with is the SCENE BRIGHTNESS under Graphics (under Options). Leave Gamma, Brightness, and Contrast alone.

Here's a simple DP config (with only the engine settings printed):
config.cfg

cl_particles_quality "0.5"
r_hdr_scenebrightness "3"
r_shadow_realtime_dlight "0"

autoexec.cfg

in_pitch_min -69.60937118530272726999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
in_pitch_max 79.45312118530272726999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

These are good settings to get you started on Darkplaces IMHO. Nothing extra or biased about these settings If you feel that your system can handle more, change cl_particles_quality "0.5" to "1.0" and r_shadow_realtime_dlight "0" to "1".

All the other fancy things that Darkplaces does is up to you to experiment with since everyone has their own opinion on special effects

Ive just got dp working on vista, still playing around with the graphics settings to get the most from it.

I dont know what most of the settings mean, i just adjust as see if it s better/worse.
Theres something about rt world that causes me to lag, i thought my pc could handle it.

is....

amd athlon xp 3200 2.2ghz
2gb corsair ddr400 ram
geforce 6200 256mb graphics

good enough to play dp at full quality without lag?

[Canadian*Sniper]

look at my post if you want better performance

if you have the rtlight files, rtworld doesn't lag as much and looks nicer.

Re: Monster's config.

Do you per chance have a particles/particlefont.tga in one of the active gamedirs (such as id1)? If so, move it aside.

cl_decals cvar enables/disables them.

Also which command adjusts fullbrights in dp? They seem a little blinding in some areas.

r_hdr_glowintensity cvar.

current dpmod beta includes the latest singleplayer (not publically available on that site anymore) and dm map rtlights files.
