Any Brutal Doom players here on the Pi? Question

RetroFreak89

Do any of you play the brutal doom mod on retropie?
If so is it me or does it seem like the game lags ? When theres explosions or blood on screen?
I have resolution set very low 480x324 something like that and still pretty laggy to me but ive been Told that brutal doom runs pretty good on the pi so im wondering how did u get it to run so well??

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???
