[throdgrain]

Well it comes out today, and can be found on our ftp
Don't forget to delete your old dod file completely, as this is all new

/me watches thoddy cream himself

 

[Moving Target]

Starting up game, getting excited, and it crashes.

Rah.

 

[mank!]

I think you've just given me reason to reinstall HL, dammit.

 

[Gumbo]

and the game.net servers will be updated when?

 

[nylex23]

FTP is really slow :/.

 

[TedTheDog]

I'm getting 60+ k/sec (I'm on nildram dsl) from our ftp, so the bottleneck is somewhere else, closer to your ISP than you'd like I 'd suspect

Oh, and the DoD servers cant be updated until the new HL Dedicated server is released. Details here

 

[throdgrain]

Im getting 58 k on BT adsl

 

[Summo]

This game is rather special.

 

[Moving Target]

Bugged and laggy too.

 

[mank!]

I got it at about 120k/s earlier today, just got the BF1942 patch at the same speed without a problem, must be you nylex.

 

[throdgrain]

Not bugged, not laggy. I just played it for the last 2 hours, its great.
I did get some fps lag to begin with, but I found when I changed from fps_max 72 (default) to fps_max 85 (my refresh rate) the fps stayed pretty much solid.
The new maps look good, about time mind you ! The player models are excellent , much better than the old ones.
The British stuff will please some people . The accents are mostly Northern !! You'll love it Lester !

 

[Moving Target]

Well, when I played, I kept getting dropped, along with everyone else on the server, and everyone had 100+ pings.

 

[Daffeh]

is the main menu messed up for anyone else?

it displays the half life logo over DoD background


its also taken a huge fps drop on mine, what with all the smoke and particle stuff

only played the new Caen map so far...basically just the same, but with a bazooka in each spawn to pick up and use

Pony server . I played for ages no problem at all. And with 35 to 50 ping.
Daf you can turn a lot of the stuff off, for example those gay icons over the heads of friendly troops ala MoH.

 

[Daffeh]

i like the icon over head, at least close by...

also the menu thing is also a known bug so its not just me


any idea on any of the new cl_ vars yet?
need to get rid of a lot of the smoke and particle crap so i can have a playable game again.

 

[throdgrain]

Ina bit of a hurry so I cant try em all out, but have a look in config m8. You can turn off bullet eject, theres loads of fog vairables to play with, as well as a interesting cvar called cl_numshotrubble "5"

which I imagine is rubble flying about when a nade or bomb goes off, try a lower value for that too. Turning off the gay map (why do they do these things?) will help fps a bit, as well as ,as i said earlier, making sure your max_fps is the same as your refresh rate.
Also I would turn the super super gay head icons off, i bet they save fps too, and will also stop you getting recruited by the village people ....
Only thing i dont like so far, the run speed is faster i think, less realistic and makes the game a bit hurried for me. Oh well, adapt I guess

 

[DarkPenfold]

cl_particlefx 0 - No fancy effects at all.
cl_particlefx 1 - smoke from gun barrels and explosions. Bullet impact effects on walls, floors and models.
cl_particlefx 2 - Weather effects on Kalt, Donner and Chemille (snow and rain as appropriate). Red marker smoke on Charlie.

_ah 0 - Get rid of the dog.
easymode 0 - No markers above team-mate's heads.

 

[Daffeh]

ta guys giving them a go now
