wow @ InvincibleDrone

that set of dm3 textures is the ugliest i've seen so far
the map looks like a salad of random textures

0_o I want!

New darkplaces and dpmod posted just a few hours ago, submitted news to quakeone.com (and elsewhere) but it hasn't been posted yet.

And it now has a fully browsable copy of the readme online

Note: I'm open to suggestions on anything not explained well by the readme

look at my post if you want better performance

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

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

Re: Monster's config.

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

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

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?

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.

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?

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

Did you overclock your video card by any chance?

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