Framerate and Mod question.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.doom (More info?)

Thanks to everyone for turning me on to the Omega drivers. I've noticed
the game is smoother now. However, I was looking for some tips to
improve it even more.
With the new drivers the framerate is always on in the top right corner
is there a way to turn that off?

My framerate is anywhere from the upper 40's in well lit areas to the
low 60's in the darker areas. I have the 3D settings on "High
Performance" and the Overdrive enabled, and hardware accelation set on
high. Anyone got any ideas for more improvement without killing the detail?

I downloaded the mod that tapes the flashlight to your weapons. In the
read me text it states the following...

lace the included *.pk4-file into your Doom 3-base directory.

Or,

make a new folder in your Doom 3 directory, named "Cam's Doom 3 Mod" and
place the included *.pk4-file into that folder.
Now start the game and launch the mod in the Main Menu by klicking on
"Mods", "Cam's Doom 3 Mod" and "Load Mod"!


I've done both, but in the game it doesn't seem to see it. Any suggestions?

The drivers have nothing to do with your framerate counter. Bring down the
console and type "com_showFPS 0" - that should turn it off.

If the counter is yellow, you've left fraps open.

You should be happy with this performance. Unless anybody has any wacky
suggestions to modifiy the config files of D3 directly, I think that's your
lot for basic config.

Is it actually recognised within the mod menu? If so, don't know what's
up..... if not, don't know what's up! Are you sure you're testing it
properly? For instance, there's a smell chance the mod doesn't include the
pistol, so if you're only testing it from the beginning of the game perhaps
you don't have the right weapons yet?

It's yellow or red depending on what the framerate is. I'm used to it
now, so I'll just leave it.

No, it doesn't see it on the mod menu. I don't know what I'm doing
wrong, I'm pretty far into the game. I've got everything except for the
BFG.
