Re: Any Brutal Doom players here on the Pi? Question

Depends on the pi.
Amount of Cores?

RetroFreak89

Its the latest Raspberry pi 3 model B
When i play ultra violence theres more enemies and it just lags also when exploding things like tossing grenade

RetroFreak89

BTW how can i disable fog
/Effects for better performance?

@retrofreak89

Decal and Particle engine eating up cpu power.
I have lags like this even on my snapdragon 800 @ 2.2GHz
Lowering the decal count is a good start.

RetroFreak89

Ok so lowering decal amount also
Is there way i can reduce blood effects so it wont lag as much with lots of enemies?
What about fog and weapon trial effects anyway to disable that?

What resolution do u run brutal on PI3 in curious?
Is brutal doom even worth playing on the pi?
I never played brutal and i want to play all the games and megawads but if pi cant handle not sure then..

@retrofreak89
My Sony Z1 has a highly optimized build of GZdoom
At times i can even feel lag, jitter and low fps of her.

You wont be able to run all mods.
Brutal doom has a menu to adjust gore.

Try disable lighting and texture filtering too as enemies also generate lights ect..
Also beware of mods with huge texture packs ect..

RetroFreak89

@xeon thats the thing i cannot find where to disable dynamic lighting where can i do that?

RetroFreak89

Uhh i was playing brutal doom i died suddently i couldnt respawn so i quit the game wanting to reboot it but now my brutal doom is not coming up Just reg doom do i checked my zdoom.ini and it suddently all empty and thats prob why brutal not suddently went away what the heck man how do i fix this:( my whole ini file got deleted while playing wth

Well seems like my OS is being screwy as well i might just reinstall retropie to fix the issues
But also after ive done that how do i disable lighting and textures in brutal doom its no where in the settings there

Xeon

Must be a bug. odd.

RetroFreak89

@xeon yeah i reinstalled it now its fine but how do i disable dynamic lighting and textures filtering and stuff because its not in the game options anywhere..

Is there also a way i can make the character look pixel perfect instead of 'fuzy'

Xeon

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Dynamic_light_options
https://zdoom.org/wiki/texture_options

if these don't show up... they are using a near dead build of zdoom

@retrofreak89 just so you know, if your zdoom.ini goes blank, just delete it. It will create a new one if you delete it

Xeon

Also.. for sharp texture edges.. use nearest filtering.

RetroFreak89

@xeon thats the thing how do i get to those options if i fire up brutal doom and go to options.
I checked every setting there very carefully there is no textures filter or lighting and other stuff u tell me to turn off so in guessing u have to turn these off in Zdoom it self or something and how would i do that?
Like i said if i go to options of brutal doom non of the settings are there Just the reg stuff

Edit:ok i found out why i cant find it in brutal doom options because it is not supported by Zdoom..
That sux so now i cant disable any of that?
Well since i cant turn these options off because it is not supported by Zdoom what can i do to still disable those? Because i rly like to tweak it to get it to run as best as possible

Edit2:last thing i like to know is how to get custom HUD mods onto my brutal doom??

Xeon

@retrofreak89 Yeah the build we have is dated.
So tons of great features are not there. :(

RetroFreak89

@xeon so i cant disable it then sux
Also what is compiling Zdoom and Install SDL2 libraries ? I heard it makes Zdoom run alot better???
