Doom 3

[DruidChiken]

Alll i can say so far is AWESOME.

The graphics are incredible, tremendous atmosphere and sound effects. I am struggling to get though the first level in the Mars Underground city, the monsters are mean SOBS and u got no real weaps to start with as usual.

The game is best played in the dark with headphones, and it is guarrenteed to scare the pants of anyone :P

A BIG BAWK! for this one from me :)

[Ikit_Chiken]

Cool you have the game allready.

Wel if you say it is good i might still buy it since i am bored with GC2 allready

[CluckerChiken]

My pc dies everytime i try to play it :(

I need a new PC :(

[Ikit_Chiken]

Sell you car and get a new pc..... :)

Priorities dude....

[CluckerChiken]

R U MAD?!?!?!?

Oh wait..amsterdam...sorry..didnt notice...my heart goes out to you dude ;)

[Ikit_Chiken]

Just checked the doom 3 site and watched the trailer. To be honest it did not really go tme warmed up if i look at the grapihcs and style if i compare it S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or F.E.A.R. for excample even C.O.D. looks better i think?

Am i very wrong.

Is the game as scary as Aliens vs Predator. That game almost gave me a hart attack.

[DruidChiken]

The graphics of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. are not even as good as AAO.

There is world of difference in the DOOM 3 T& L engine. All i can say is that I run D3 on ultrahigh graphics and it really pushes my Radeon 9800 PRO to the max.

Its obviously down to the individuals own perception of the game and also how good the PC is to display the game at its best, but it keeps me addicted at the moment :)

[LoogieChiken]

Alien v Predator scares me too much to play it - havent progressed past the marine mission where you meet aliens in the venting duct :(

[LoneStarChiken]

BAWK!

Have you tried the multiplayer yet? Is it as weak as in this article Doom 3 (http://chikens.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2828)

[Ikit_Chiken]

Well alians vs predators was real spokie but go and check out the E3 trailer from F.E.A.R. LoogieChiken. That little girl just gave me a bad fealing......

That kind of there is evil fealing........

[DruidChiken]

BAWK!

Have you tried the multiplayer yet? Is it as weak as in this article Doom 3 (http://chikens.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2828)

To me this type of game does not lend itself to multiplay, unless it is in a co-op mission against the CPU.
I havent tried the multiplay yet anyway, i would like to get the full experience of the SP game first.

I have to admit that i started to play this in regular (Marine) difficulty, but failed dismally :) I have now restarted in Recruit and am having more success but its still no walk in the park :P

But even though i am enjoying my blastfest, i am still yet to find a game that can grab my interest and drag me away from Mechy.

So i will keep looking for that elusive game, but personally i think i will only find it, if and when we get MW5 :P

[Ikit_Chiken]

Half live2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. should be able to get you out of your mechy

[Clepto Chiken]

Hey Druid, what type of PC specs do you have. Just curious if mine stands a chance of running Doom 3

[LoneStarChiken]

Well, FAWK!!!

I stopped by the store this evening on an impulse buy....and, IT'S NOT FAWKING IN STOCK UNTIL TOMORROW. :computer: :banging:

[DruidChiken]

Hey Druid, what type of PC specs do you have. Just curious if mine stands a chance of running Doom 3
My PC..

AMD XP2800
512 DDR2700 RAM
Radeon 9800 PRO

[Snake-Chiken]

Ok Cluck my system is like yours ( OLD) but i can play doom 3 on full settings and heres how

This is a guarenteed way to get a MASSIVE performance increase to your game, at the expense of taking up a little more hard drive space (2 gigs approx). I went from running low quality at 800x600 to running High Quality on 1024x768. This improves load times AND framerate/details.

There is a catch! By doing this, you temporarily can't connect to pure multiplayer servers. You have been warned (I'll tell you how to revert it at the end)

After installation, the Doom III Folder consists only of the doom3.exe and some .PK4 files. Those PK4 files includes the entire game (sounds, videos, textures etc.) compressed. They are normally uncompressed in mid game, which is very hard on your CPU. Lets fix this!

1. Make a copy of ALL the files in C:\Program Files\Doom 3\base. This is some big filage, but if you want to revert to MP without reinstalling you need to do it.

2. Unrar the following .pk4 files (just pretend they are .rar's and open them with winrar) into the C:\Program Files\Doom 3\base folder (each one should unrar a single folder such as textures or models):

pak000.pk4
pak001.pk4
pak002.pk4
pak003.pk4
pak004.pk4 (This one has many files, put them all in \Base and over right any that apply.

3. Now delete the files above (pak000-004) or move them to another folder for storage so you can revert to multiplayer.

When you want to revert to multiplayer, restore everything you had before and get rid of the new stuff. I'm not sure if the folder "maps" is the same or not, so make sure you back that up.

When in normal mode, you should have "maps" "savegames" "config.spec" "doomConfig.cfg" "doomkey" "game00.pk4" and "gamex86.dll", nothing else.
ALSO! If you open DoomConfig.cfg (C:\programfiles\doom3\base) in notepad and change

seta image_cacheMegs "32"

to a higher number, such as 96 or 128 you will see a big increase too. Go for it bad boys!

I know this will work great for all of you, it has for me!
(NOTE I am not the one that came up with this I am just passing it along!)

BTW I can run my Doom at High with everything on at 30-35FPS and my cards a 5200! also I am running at 640 x 480

enjoy

[LoneStarChiken]

BAWK!

Well, I got it...and Holy FAWK...it is AWESOME. I've not had much time yet, so not even finished first mission.

The default setting upon installation was on "Medium" graphics. I chaned to high, but then the game lags. I thought I had a good system to support high graphics play:

Dell 8300 3GHz (multi)
512 RAM
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

Any suggestions on how to run this at higher resolutions?

[CluckerChiken]

Buy an Nvidia ;)

No seriously...Doom was made for Nvidia cards so it will run slower on Ati cards (and knowing the rivalry between the 2..MUCH slower).

HL2 will be optimized for Ati cards though.

BTW, Thnx snake, i'll try that asap

read my post above, I have a 1.7 gig p4 with a 5200 fx and 512 of ram and i play it on full settings with 30fps. The reason the game lags is it unpacks everything and puts your cpu under a lot of strain when you unpact the the files i listed it dosnt have to unpack them and leaves your cpu open for other tasks in doom3, its not the gfx card its the cpu. By the way i also have a 9600 radion and it works even better than the 5200 so as for optimised for nvidea im unsure of but it certainly works on the 9600 a lot faster.

[DruidChiken]

Bawk Snake, i have tried your suggestion of unpacking the files, and to be honest i dont see a big difference but i can see the benefit for lower spec machines.

LoneStar, on the first levels i ran on 1024x768 with Ultra High graphics and i didnt see any noticable lag, but now i am about 10 or 12 levels in, and with the ferocity and magnitude of some the attacks i found it smoother at 800x600 ultra high.
To be honest though if you are not going to sit back and admire the textures of the body parts then 800x600 med graphics are more than adequate. The graphics engine is so good even low settings are better than the best other games can offer.

Just a word of caution though this game lives up to its mature rating, there are some REALLY gory scenes, my mate and his 10 yr old son came in as a cut scene came on of a disembowelled guy screeming then all the demons started climbing out the wall.. i think the lad will have nightmares for a week judging by his reaction!!

[GladiatorChiken]

bawk

what a great game awesome graphics and scary as fawk.

i advise to play in the dark with headphones on loud, i have jumped outa my seat more times than i can remember :P

[DruidChiken]

Interesting article on Toms hardware about the graphic requireents for Doom 3 HERE (http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20040727_052008.html).

It seems there isnt a Vid card on the market that can support and display this game at Ultra high yet, since it requires a 512mb card.

So just set the settings to thel evel they recommend for your vid card memory.


All i can say then is it must Really look fawking amazing running at full textures :)

[LoneStarChiken]

I hope ya changed ur shorts.

[Snake-Chiken]

just completed this beast of a game. Great stuff but im going to have to do it again now on the hardest setting since it unlocked nightmare. As for the overclocking. My cpu is old as hell so I see a big differance when i have all the textures etc unpacked but on better systems i dont think it would help much, on mine it does a lot though. As for the cards I have tred it with an 9600 pro and a 5200fx and with and with out omega drivers for both. On my system ( 1.7 gigs p4 with 750k of ram on win 2k& agp x 4 woot:-P) the rad9600 wins hands down, especially with the omega drivers, i can play on med settings on the lowest screen res with no slow down and good detail from the doom 3 engine. The nvidea 5200 plays great for about 5 mins then it slows down to a crawl and i get about 1 fps! Tryed the normal and omega drivers ( Latest versions) Till the memory buffer clears but thats sitting around doing nothing for about a min. On my system at least the rad wins for performance but the game is ment to be configured for nvidea cards so I bet on your systems it would work much better.

On to the game. One word fantastic! If you play the game to you reach the monorail and arnt hooked by it then I suggest you delete everything on your comp and go sit in a room all by yourself! Ohh by the way all the above posts are correct the game is very gory and has some sick and frightening moments..


SPOLIER**********




The part where the womans crying about her baby being stolen freaked me out!



End of spoiler*********

[Fanatic]

All around fammily fun I see :)!

[Clepto Chiken]

Lots of family fun. Stolen and I have been playing for the last 3 hours and jumped out of our chairs a few times.
Now I just have to convince Stolen that we don't have to sleep with the lights on.

[Stolen Chiken]

:stupid: :hiding:
I want my mommy.

[DruidChiken]

LOL Snake, u are going to try it on hardest, i am having enough trouble on easy :P

The part when u leave the air lock on recycling 2, took me at least 10 tries just to find out where i had to go, and then in the next sections after that i died about 50 times before i could find my way to turn on the toxic gas extractor.

And yes those babies are freaky http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/4/saeek.gif

[LoneStarChiken]

BAWK!

This game if fawking awesome!

I had a nightmare last night....a tall redhead zombie in a kilt with a chainsaw was chasing me.

[WeirdChiken]

:pics:

[Stolen Chiken]

HEY!!!! STOP RUINING THE SHOCK FACTOR FOR ME!!!!! LOL...

[Snake-Chiken]

Trust me the amount of shocks in that game are stunning. As i said i beat it and im now trying it on Knightmare setting and Im still jumping a lot from the game. On a side not the doom3 editor is a work of art:-) Plus with it being so easy to mod I may mod a few chikens in to the game. Z as the slim zombi. Glad as the other one:-P and fan as pinky demon:-P

[Fanatic]

So who of us three got the best deal then? Man, now I must play the game as well, to see what he is so wise-ass about!

[Snake-Chiken]

Cant put bast in as theres only one female charactor in the game and she loses her head to turn into a flying head type thing. humm could do that though with the hippy hair and all..... na he would have a carpet fit if his pic was used so no dice

[LoneStarChiken]

Your forgetting the spider bitch in Alpha Labs - Sector 4.

[Snake-Chiken]

Your forgetting the spider bitch in Alpha Labs - Sector 4.

ohh yeah totally forgot about her, surprised me fighting her though she wasnt a very strong end of level boss having said that on Knightmare im just using the soulcube to kill the bosses:-)

[DysedChiken]

Be weary of sleeping with me around Texan.

muhahahahahahaha!

[Stolen Chiken]

where the hell did you find the soulcube.. we STILL havent found it and managed to kill spiderbitch without it..


~side note:
cant play before bed anymore.. freaky nightmares.

[Snake-Chiken]

You get the soulcube on nightmare level right away, every 5 kills= insta kill with soulcube so just wait till its end of level bvaddie and press q for the cube and instakill. Funny stuff

[renegade_chiken]

here are all the tweaks for doom i know

Open the file in Notepad.

Edit these 3 lines

If you have 256MB Ram:

seta image_useCache "1"
seta image_cacheMegs "128"
seta image_cacheMinK "20480"

If you have 512MB+ Ram:

seta image_useCache "1"
seta image_cacheMegs "256"
seta image_cacheMinK "20480"

This gives a slight FPS increase for me atleast, but in some cases people have gained 10-15 FPS. This tweak allows textures to load faster allowing you to gain FPS and resolution size.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or you could do this: Go to the 'base' folder, create a text file, put this in it

seta image_downSizeLimit "512"
seta image_ignoreHighQuality "1"
seta image_downSizeBumpLimit "512"
seta image_downSizeSpecularLimit "64"
seta image_downSizeBump "1"
seta image_downSizeSpecular "1"
seta image_downSize "1"
seta image_forceDownSize "1"
seta r_useOptimizedShadows "1"
seta r_useTurboShadow "1"
seta g_decals "0"
seta g_showBrass "0"
seta g_muzzleFlash "0"
seta g_showPlayerShadow "0"
seta image_anisotropy "0"
seta image_filter "GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST"

save it as

autoexec.cfg

I gained a few more FPS with this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plus When you're changing video settings that require a restart of Doom 3, just do this:

Change the crap you want, it'll give you the "Restart Doom 3" pop-up

Bring down the console, hold CTRL-ALT-`

Type, vid_restart, the screen will become white, gray, or black for a few seconds, sometimes taking up a 30sec-1 minute.

There you go, you now have your new settings without actually restarting the game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And i got this from the futuremark forums

As all of you who allready have this game recognized the game is very slow even on new Computers.

I found out the reason for this and the solution to fix this problem.

As you already know after installation the game consits only of the doom3.exe and some .PK4 files. Those PK4 files includes the entire game (sounds, videos, textures etc.) in high compressed form.

Normally those files were decompresse during the game.

But this exactly is the problem. Even new CPUs are not able to decompress those files while running the game with good peformance and therfore the game runs very **** also on new computers. I don't know if the develpers of ID-Soft was just too stupid to think about this or if they have an agreement with some hardware manufacturing firms.

How to get around this problem:

It is very simple. Go to your Doom 3 installation directoy and get inside the folder "Base". There are some .PK4 files you have to open each of them with WinRAR 3.3 and extract their entire contents to the Base dir in you Doom 3 installation folder (replace all files if they are any duplicates). Now you have to delete all .PK4 files in the Base folder to prevent the game to use those compressed files agian.

Now the game starts and runs mutch faster!!!

Have fun playing Doom 3!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few cheats and the such i got from somewhere else

There is a way to open the console with the [~] key only: Go to the Data directory and generate a file called autoexec.cfg and put in one line:

seta com_allowConsole "1"

Save it and now you can open the console with the [~] only.

If you want better FPS and stuff when you run an ATI card download the new 4.9 catalyst beta drivers that helps a bunch

Yeah i know its a lot but enjoy if you feel like reading all this

[DruidChiken]

Renegade, wtf.....


Cheats are a BIG no no.

Please do not post cheats and hacks on here, if ppl want them themn they are readily avaiable for anyone who wants them out on the net.

It is not the Chiken way.

[Stolen Chiken]

dude, all I wanted to know was where the hell you found the soul thingy.. not all the cheats.. damn.

[LazyChiken]

Mmmm, great game. Someone asked how it compares to AvP. Well, its at least that scary for me. You dont have "bleeps" of proximity sensor, but this game has other elements making you jump on your chair :)

Highly recommended, single player at least. Multiplayer sucks, but D3 has been made with single player experience in mind, while HL2 will be directly opposite (IMO).

[renegade_chiken]

all those first 2 are are changes in how doom uses ram to optimize it for the speeds that your comp runs at and how much memory you have. the second one forces OpenGL to render things much more efficiently, the third just tells you how to refresh the video in doom (not much of a hack there)

with the maps thats the farthest thing from a hack. You just uncompress the folders to make things load faster.

and the cheats i just included for fun, i dont use em but if you want to after you beat the game there they are.

none of these tweaks are "hacks" of any kind. They are not illegal in any way. Hacking is not illegal in any way. If you are talking about illegal actions you are talking about cracking and Warez, something that i despise.

[LoneStarChiken]

The "cheats" he posted are nothing different than any other game. e.g. in the America's Army manual, they detail how to gain weapons, walk thru walls, fly, etc. It's not hacking the game, but giving someone the opportunity to either get past a really difficult situation, or, to have some silly fun after completing the SP. No problem with posting that stuff IMHO.


PS. BAWK! @ Lazy :D

[renegade_chiken]

for me cheats are just cheats. They are there for use if you want to...the first time i go through any game i never use cheats but the second time through i might just for fun.

In addition those first 2 changes help quite a bit. You can prolly get about 8-12 more FPS with this if you have a decent vid card although there have been reports about only gaining about 4-6 fps allthough i have also heard ppl gain more than 12 fps so its all relative to your system....who doesnt want a performance boost from their system?

[Snake-Chiken]

Nice stuff renegade , I posted the decompress textures a few pages earlier, but the rest I didnt know to much about except set catch to 256k for more than 512k of ram. As for the cheats I beat the game without it and playing knightmare at present I see no need for the cheats as for the doom 95 cheat, it dosnt work at all. Seems theres somthing you have to unlock first. In referance to the soulcube its the mega weapon that you dont get under normal levels, nightmare is only unlocked when you beat the game so I started playing that as when i was hoking threw all the sound and map files there was a lot of stuf there I didnt see in game. As for nightmare its exactly that. Very hard and insta save after everykill as your health drains, im not to far into the game at this level now as its basically you have to know exsactly where your going and what your fighting etc. Ohh almost forgot Soulcube is only on knightmare at the beginning of the game, as without it you simply wouldnt beat the game. In fact I dont think even with it you would be able to as the hell level later in game was the hardest level for me personally ( Took a solid days play to beat it)

In referance to multiplayer there seems to be a patch with rtcw multiplayer being ported over as apparently there isnt that much customisation to do with the exception of netcode that doom 3 uses, Looks like it would be 8 v 8 on it at max but with the gfx that engine uses I would love to see old favorite maps of rtcw with the updated graphics Ie depot and beach etc ohh as for the weapons i dont think there is to much work for them to change them around as most of the weapons are similar to rtcw, Shotgun, rocket launcher, pistol, plasma gun i suspect would be heavally modded to becom some sort of auto mch gun, and you have the heavy weapon gun.. No matter I got this info from a german doom3 site anyhow and it dosnt say if its an offical patch or mod:-(

Ill keep you up to date when I find out more

[renegade_chiken]

yeah i heard a lot about the multiplayer patch/update from a lot of sources but i havent see any other information on it, implementing it or DLing a patch for it. Ive seen plenty of info, not much info on how to make it actually happen.

Okay, so what is the trick to killing the beast in Hell??? I've shot it with every weapon, even the chainsaw ROFL. I've shot the flying thingies with the headlights too.

worth the money?

Its ok but nothing special, though if you decompile it youl find a lot of stuff for ids next game ;) especially the cars etc....

Ohh almost forgot. Yeah its good but it isnt as good as doom 3, gfx are better, loading times, ai, almost everything but its just a rehash of doom3 so id wait for budget if i was you

Its good fun, the double barrel shotgun cuts though everything at close rate and the Grabber is very similar to the grav gun in HL2, but the artifact to slow down time, while useful and essental to get past several obstacles and bosses gets boring to use.
