Doom 3

TommyVercetti

<div class="IPBDescription">Where's my damn muzzleflash?!</div> I have beaten Doom 3, and it was good. However, now that I've figured out how I wanna go through again on high settings this time but no matter what I do I can't get the muzzleflash of my weapon to cast light, and characters can't cast any light whatsoever; not the Marines in Alpha Labs, not the Imps with their fireballs. Wihtout the light the plasma gun firing looks really weird. Please help!

I've already tried installing a weapon mod to add muzzleflash, but it doesn't work. I also have a parallax mapping mod installed, but it doesn't work either. So is there a command line variable I can use or something to get projectiles and muzzle flashes to emit light?

Ask Doomanic or go to planetdoom.com forums.

seta g_muzzleFlash "1"

when all else fails, delete doomconfig.cfg :P

Fixed it and reinstalled the Parallax mapping mod. That thing really makes a difference!

Bah, i'm still trying to figure out the Any_OS patch. I have no clue on how to use it lol.

Damn win98 >.<

You mean to tell me you have a rig capable of playing doom3 that's running Win98?!

That's against the law in some states, my friend.

Eh, i've breakin laws before. IE racing ****, and some others, so how much would it hurt to break an itty bitty one? lol <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

muzzleflash and fireball light are two dif things. muzzleflash is muzzleflash. fireball and plasma balls are dynamiclight.

both seem to be a non-option on my gf3, but if i force them on in the config file the game looks 10x better. (shooting two imps with a plasma gun = about nine or twelve FPS tho (this gives me lots of stillframes to enjoy the new pretty lighting effects)

I activated g_muzzleFlash, g_projectileLights, and g_playerShadow. It looks awesome, especially when you're fighting Sarge and the BFG light you're running from makes your shadow longer and longer till you die. Also, I installed the mod that makes all the models self-shadow.

You ran from the BFG fire? You do realize you could just shoot them and kill sarge in like 3 seconds right?

Anyway Doom 3 was soooo 4 weeks ago <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I know, but I ran just because it looked cool. Last time I didn't watch the BFG video so I just circle-strafed him with the chaingun till he went kaput.
