Help with Nehahra with the Darplaces Engine

[Baker]

sorry for the double post, but i just had a quick question..
downloaded the repacked nehahra zip from spirit and installed it and ran it just fine. but couldnt figure out how to get the effects and lighting that DP has to get going. the usual DP options were not in the options menu, it was all just like normal quake options. even had to go through the command line to get it to the resolution i wanted. i figured that one would have to type in the apporpriate console line to get these normal DP features up and running. (prettty inconvienient) am i doing something wrong? would like to have the full and normal DP options menu, but if not then just console commands would be better than nothing. please and thank you

When you are running this, what is the engine version in the console? It should say DarkPlaces and then have a date. What is the date?

0709 2009. it works great... i just have the 2 pak files from ID... everything else is just pretty water, rygels texture pack, rtlights, torch fix and the new enforcer skin from the reforged site. that is to say it works great except for nehehra..

I'd recommend grabbing an old DarkPlaces from, say, 2005 or so for use with Nehahra. That would be my recommendation as recent DarkPlaces releases are far more driven by Nexuiz game updates than Quake as far as I can tell.

If that fails, ask on DarkPlaces IRC channel:
